Sound doesn’t just carry information. In this episode of Exploring Bhakti, we dive into the mystical science of sacred sound and explore its transformative power. Discover how the timeless maha-mantra connects the self with our Divine Friend in tangible ways. We explore why spiritual sound is different from ordinary sound, is at the root of creation, and how maha-mantra offers an accessible, heart-opening practice of love and connection.

In this episode of Exploring Bhakti, we discuss the nine practices of bhakti yoga. These simple, natural expressions—hearing, chanting, remembering, praying, serving, and more—are limbs of the body of bhakti and powerful tools for developing a personal relationship with the Divine and awakening divine love. Rooted in a personal relationship, these simple, but powerful, practices engage the whole self in devotion to the Supreme Person, and are accessible to everyone, regardless of background or qualification.

In this episode of Exploring Bhakti, we meet A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada—the visionary who brought the timeless practice of bhakti from the sacred lands of India to the streets of the Western world. Learn how he made his fearless journey at age 69, armed only with a trunk of books and a compassionate heart of devotion, and ignited a spiritual revolution. Discover how one surrendered soul transformed hearts and built a global movement grounded in sacred texts, joyful practices, and the power of divine love.

In this episode, we uncover the rich lineage, philosophy, and global legacy of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, the path of ecstatic divine love for the Sweet Absolute, founded by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Discover its theological core, its revolutionary doctrine of inconceivable oneness and difference, its emphasis on the chanting of the holy names, Radha and Krsna’s divine love. From the Six Gosvamis to modern-day kirtan, learn how this disciplic succession offers a living path of love, realization, and joyful spiritual community.

In this episode of Exploring Bhakti, we journey through India’s spiritual renaissance—the Bhakti Movement. Long before Europe's humanism, saint-poets in India sang soul-awakening hymns of divine love. Discover how kirtan transformed society, how bhakti revived equality and mysticism, and why its message of love and surrender remains more relevant than ever. From the Alwars and Mirabai to Sri Chaitanya, the father of modern kirtan, uncover the spiritual revolution that changed India—and is now calling the world.

In this episode of Exploring Bhakti, we dive into the extraordinary life of Sri Chaitanya—the mystic, saint, scholar, and avatar who introduced the transformative path of prema-kirtan. Considered Krishna himself in the mood of Sri Radha, Chaitanya taught that divine love is the highest spiritual attainment. Through chanting the maha-mantra, he opened a path of devotion available to everyone.

At the heart of Reality stands Sri Radha next to Krishna. In this episode of Exploring Bhakti, we discover Radha not as a symbol or archetype, but as the eternal Goddess of Bhakti—the personal embodiment of divine love in its most exalted form. Radha is more than Krishna’s consort—she is the soul of Bhakti itself. Her love reveals the highest ideal of devotion and is so pure and powerful that it conquers even Krishna. Discover how Radha’s love for Krishna is the fullest expression of love between the soul and the Divine and why serving her awakens the soul’s highest joy.

What makes love perfect? In this episode of Exploring Bhakti, we explain that perfect love is only possible when it’s exchanged with the perfect object of love. We explore why divine love must be personal, relational, and infinite. With vivid portrayals of the Supreme Person—Sri Krishna—who joyfully reciprocates our love—we come to understand the ultimate destination is a loving relationship with the all-attractive, all-reciprocating Beloved.

We are never alone. Ancient Bhakti wisdom reveals the presence of the Super Self—our eternal Divine Friend who lives within the heart, guiding us with love, wisdom, and shelter. In this episode, we explore the intimate relationship between the atma and the Paramatma, and how Bhakti awakens us to our truest companionship.
