Self-care culture tells us to treat ourselves, embrace our
flaws, and obsess over our inner world—but the research on
happiness points in the opposite direction. In this episode,
Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how bhakti-yoga reframes humility
and self-esteem, and why real relief comes from realizing you are
not the body, the mind, or the story you’ve been defending. With
humor, psychology, and ancient wisdom, they reveal how service,
purpose, and spiritual identity dissolve anxiety and comparison—and
then pivot into the to Srimad Bhagavatam’s Kāliya-līlā, where the
residents of Vṛndāvana become so absorbed in Kṛṣṇa that fear,
grief, and love explode beyond anything ordinary psychology can
measure.
