What you hold in your mind shapes you. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore Marshall McLuhan’s famous line—“We become what we behold”—and connect it with Krishna’s teachings in the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Do we let random media and impulses shape us, or do we consciously adopt tools that align with who we want to become?

From the media-is-the-message to Bhāgavatam 10.12, we enter Aghāsura’s cavernous “cave,” watch Krishna rescue His friends, liberate the demon, and trigger a celestial celebration. Along the way: fearlessness vs. recklessness, why a morning program beats doom-scrolling, and how bringing Krishna into the heart quietly lowers the temperature on everyday panic.

Key Highlights * McLuhan meets the Gītā: how tools and habits carve our destiny * The cowherd boys’ fearless joy vs. reckless “No Fear” bravado * Aghāsura decoded: envy, anxiety, and Krishna’s liberating touch * Why a crafted morning program beats algorithmic autopilot * Celestial fireworks—demigods, Gandharvas, and Brahmā’s astonishment

A practical, provocative look at how the tools we choose today determine the lives we live tomorrow.
