Wisdom of the Sages

1574: How Yogis Train the Mind for the Ultimate Test


Listen Later

“You Won’t Rise to the Occasion—You’ll Default to Your Training”. In this episode we explore how ancient yogic wisdom aligns with the discipline of elite athletes, soldiers, and spiritual seekers. Learn how the mind, when trained in remembrance and devotion, naturally turns toward the Divine—even at the moment of death. This episode is a clarion call to train your heart, shape your consciousness, and live with purpose so that when the test comes, you’re not grasping for last-minute wisdom—you’re simply doing what you’ve always done: remembering who you’ve been meditating on all along. Drawing from the timeless teachings of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Kaustubha, and special guest Kishori Gopi dive deep into the life of King Katvanga, a warrior-king who turned his final moment into his finest moment—not by chance, but by a lifetime of conscious preparation.

Key Highlights: * “Failing to prepare is preparing to fail”—why your daily practice shapes your destiny * What King Katvanga teaches us about detachment, clarity, and the power of a single moment * How to build your spiritual default setting through consistent sādhanā * The Bhagavad-gītā’s teaching on death, remembrance, and ultimate transformation * Why even the devas admired a king who asked for no boon but truth

🎧 Don’t miss this episode that bridges warrior mindset, yogic philosophy, and bhakti devotion into a single, life-shifting meditation.
