1620: The Sex Episode: Yoga Wisdom Meets Real-Life Hormones | Q & A Vol. 281
June 07, 2025 · 60 min

In this hilarious and revealing Q & A, Raghunath and Kaustubha tackle one of life’s most powerful forces—sexual desire—with honesty, insight, and bhakti-based wisdom. It’s a down-to-earth exploration of how the yogic tradition views it, and lays out a yogic framework for navigating desire without losing your mind (or your integrity).

Highlights include: •⁠  ⁠4 responses to desire: indulge, repress, ignore, or resolve •⁠  ⁠The monk’s 8-fold path of NOT having sex •⁠  ⁠How rāsa-līlā becomes a tool for inner purification •⁠  ⁠Why spiritual life doesn’t mean becoming rigid or resentful •⁠  ⁠What it takes to truly redirect the energy of desire

This one goes deep—and keeps it real.
