Can ancient Indian wisdom heal the rifts of modern religion? In this mind-expanding and often hilarious episode, Raghunath sits down with author and educator Nitesh Gor (a.k.a. Navin Krishna) to explore his new book Before Religion: Ancient India’s Reconciling Vision for Universal Spirituality. From philosophical elephants and Ratha-yatras down Fifth Avenue to quantum physics and peacock-feather cosmology, they unpack what makes the Bhāgavatam a master key for global spiritual unity.

Can you be loyal to one tradition without becoming intolerant of others? Does God really care which team you’re on? And what if the wildest creation myth is actually… “everything came from nothing”?

Key Talking Points: •⁠ ⁠“Why doesn’t anyone invite Hare Krishnas to the Christmas party?” •⁠ ⁠Science, philosophy, and spirituality walk into a temple… and agree •⁠ ⁠Vedic culture’s soft power: winning hearts with pakoras and Sanskrit •⁠ ⁠Consciousness, the elephant, and the Bhāgavatam—yes, they’re connected •⁠ ⁠From Jesus to the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: building a house the whole world can live in

Tune in to Episode 1621 of Wisdom of the Sages for a fresh take on religion, unity, and ancient India’s spiritual legacy.
