1626: Love Isn’t a Feeling—It’s a Full-Time Job
June 16, 2025 · 61 min

Raghunath is joined by longtime friend and spiritual brother Henry Schoellkopf for a lively and deeply honest conversation about devotion as action—not just emotion.

Drawing from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and decades of lived spiritual experience, they explore what it really means to love—not just God, but people. This episode is part comedy, part confessional, and entirely grounded in yogic truth.

Highlights include: •⁠  ⁠“Love isn’t a feeling—it’s a verb.” •⁠  ⁠Why asking Krishna for stuff doesn’t count as a relationship •⁠  ⁠The deeper meaning of seva •⁠  ⁠Turning Washington Square Park into Vaikuntha •⁠  ⁠What a teenager’s donut gift reveals about devotion

If you’ve ever wondered how to live your devotion—or why even spiritual burnout can be a blessing—this one’s for you.
