It took 40, then 25, then 30 miles before the mind finally stopped screaming and started praying. Fresh off a solo bike ride through the Adirondacks, Raghunath and Kaustubha dive into practical bhakti: how movement can quiet the mental “algorithm,” how to use Kārtika (Damodara Month) to turn up your practice x1000, and why the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam’s Brahma-vimohana lila (Brahma Mohan Leela)—when Kṛṣṇa becomes every cowherd boy and calf—reveals more than wonder; it maps how God and God’s energies actually work.
Key Highlights
* “Metaphysical Amazon Prime”: stop praying for two-day shipping;
start praying “What do You want from me today?”
* Kārtika math: one round = a thousand (devotion
multiplies—calories don’t).
* Japa that sticks: sit, walk, or pedal—just get past the first
“many miles” of mental noise.
* Phone in another room = mind in the same room as God.
* Acintya-bhedābheda for real life: one energy, different
functions—like electricity that can cool your fridge and heat your
toast.
If you’re ready to trade doom-scrolling for mantra-rolling, this episode gives you a simple plan: pick a vow for Kārtika, leave the phone outside the temple of your morning, and let the mind settle mile by mile until prayer gets loud.
