Ep. 33 - Awakening a Higher Taste
Description
In this class, Rasik Swami (formally Swami BB Rasikananda Maharaja) explores the heart of real bhakti: awakening rati—the higher spiritual desire that naturally draws the soul back to Krishna. He explains how every part of life becomes transformative when made yukta—connected to the Divine—whether eating, working, resting, or even dreaming. Through two foundational Gita verses and the profound allegory of King Puranjana, he reveals the soul’s journey through the material world, its entanglement with the mind and body, and its eventual rediscovery of the ever-present Supersoul, our “eternal friend.” This episode guides us toward practical devotion, deeper inspiration, and the inner Vrindavan where true love for Krishna awakens.
