Modern spirituality often says yoga is all about the journey. But is that what the ancient teachings really meant?

In this focused and eye-opening Q & A episode, Kaustubha explores samādhi and the true aim of yoga. Drawing from the Upanishads and Bhakti tradition, he reveals how yoga isn’t aimless—it’s intentional, transformational, and love-driven.

You’ll also hear how Krishna’s call for surrender in the Bhagavad-gītā—often misunderstood as bossy—is actually rooted in compassion and transcendental clarity.

What You’ll Learn: •⁠ ⁠The real goal of samādhi and how yoga stays focused •⁠ ⁠Why Krishna asks for everything—and how it’s not about ego •⁠ ⁠How even negative emotions can purify when directed toward God •⁠ ⁠Shishupala’s surprising liberation through hatred •⁠ ⁠Why Krishna’s confidence isn’t arrogance—and what it means for us

This isn’t vague spiritualism—it’s grounded wisdom for the seeker who wants clarity, depth, and a target worth aiming for.

Listen now and rediscover why love—with direction—is the heart of yoga.
