The Late Morning Program with Namarasa Podcast

🎧 About This Episode:
In this transformative episode, Caru Das (ACBPS) shares a timeless spiritual principle: to truly experience Krishna, you must step out of your comfort zone. Spiritual growth rarely happens in ease or familiarity—it blossoms in surrender, uncertainty, and the willingness to be stretched beyond limits.

Drawing from sacred texts, decades of devotional practice, and personal stories, Caru Das explains why Krishna often meets us not in our routines, but in our risks.

🙏 Key Takeaways:
Why staying comfortable can hinder your spiritual awakening
How to embrace discomfort as a divine invitation
The spiritual power of surrendering control
Real-life examples of transcendence through challenge
Whether you're new to bhakti yoga or deep into your practice, this episode will inspire you to look beyond comfort and toward Krishna’s calling.
