If you’ve ever felt like something was missing from your life, like you’re longing for more connection, wholeness, pleasure, or Love with a capital ‘L’, today’s episode is for you. My guest this week stepped out of mainstream society as a punk artist, and later in life as a monk, to find truth, joy, and purpose in answering life’s big questions of self-discovery and transformation.

For today’s episode, I sat down with Raghunath, earlier known as Ray Cappo. Raghunath has been on a spiritual quest his whole life. He practices and teaches Bhakti yoga, and he’s a spiritual storyteller. Raghunath hosts the podcast Wisdom of the Sages and is the author of the book From Punk to Monk: A Memoir.

Tune in this week to start your journey of remembering who you are and what truly matters. Raghunath and I discuss why nothing outside of you can bring wholeness and capital ‘L’ Love into your life, and Raghunath shares how he believes we can make the most of our lives and find our purpose one small act at a time.

What You’ll Discover:

• Why Raghunath found comfort and joy away from the mainstream.
• How Raghunath was attracted to Eastern philosophy, leading to his transition from punk to monk.
• What Raghunath was hoping to find by leaving behind his life as a New York punk.
• Why no person, material item, or level of validation will bring wholeness to your life.
• How Raghunath believes we can find love, wholeness, and pleasure that last independently of the world around us.
• The daily things you can do to stay truly connected with yourself and your purpose.
