Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the message of need to sift perspect shared in Srimad Bhagavatam.  Seeking to relive the suffering of Mother Earth, the gods and goddesses gather for an epic moment of clarity—chanting the Purusha Sukta hymn of the Vedas. What follows is a brilliant meditation on zooming out of our small dramas and plugging into the greater cosmic intelligence behind it all.
 
Raghunath shares a story of fatherly panic as his daughter falls ill across the ocean, while Kaustubha unpacks the deeper meaning of the universe as a unified being—rooted in the divine Purusha. Carl Sagan makes a guest appearance, reminding us from 4 billion miles away that Earth is but a speck in the void—and our self-importance might need a little deflation.
 
Key Highlights:
• “Our imagined self-importance is challenged by this point of pale light.” – Carl Sagan
• How chanting Purusha Sukta re-centers the mind and soul
• A fine line between spiritual detachment and showing up for those we love
• Learning to see God’s hands when His face is hidden
• Why the Bhagavatam is the “superfood” of spiritual literature
