raghu for mayor / fall in love with Krishna / keep a standard for those you get close to / yoga culture is designed to influence the mind / the gods will be just fine / note if what we are consuming brings up our lower nature / religious practices mix of scriptural tenets with human interpretation & application / religion - take the good and improve it vs reject it / focus on spiritual purpose being happiness & meaning / does the power of mantra lie in pronunciation or in intention / karma’s complicated - make the best with what you’ve got
