In this episode of the Bhagavata Podcast, Bhrigupada Dasa (Dr. Måns Broo) is joined by yoga scholar and spiritual teacher Jayananda Dasa (Dr. Janne Kontala) to explore the 7th Chapter of the First Canto of the Bhagavata Purana. The conversation ranges from Vyasa’s samadhi and the origins of the Bhagavatam to nuclear-scale weapons, ethical complexity among enlightened beings, and the transformative power of bhakti-yoga.
Drawing from his deep experience in yoga philosophy and worldview studies, Jayananda offers compelling insights into spiritual experience, religious authority, and the necessity of inner transformation. The dialogue reflects on how even perfected souls like Vyasa and Shukadeva are drawn to the Bhagavatam’s personalistic vision of the Divine—and why that matters for all of us.
