Wisdom of the Sages

1566: Reframing Mental Suffering Through Bhakti / Q & A Volume 267


Listen Later

For some of us, it seems like the mind will never let us go. In this raw and deeply insightful Q&A episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha confront the complex intersection of trauma, depression, and the spiritual path. They unpack how the Bhakti tradition doesn’t promise a quick fix for erasing psychological suffering—but it radically reframes it. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gītā and Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, they explain how the soul carries the subtle mind into the next life, how karma shapes mental struggles, and how deep devotional practice can burn through even the heaviest mental burdens.

Bhakti offers a transformative lens—a way to see the mind not as the self, but as an apparatus we carry on the soul’s long journey. For anyone dealing with mental health challenges, or supporting those who are, this episode offers real spiritual tools to face it, live with it, and grow beyond it.

Key Highlights: •⁠  ⁠Why Bhakti might not quickly “fix” depression—but it can transform how we live with it •⁠  ⁠How trauma and psychological pain may carry over from previous lifetimes •⁠  ⁠The yogic technique that instantly reveals you are not your mind •⁠  ⁠Raghunath shares candid reflections on fatherhood, heartbreak, and spiritual surrender

🎧 Dive into a conversation that’s equal parts psychology and soul.
