In today's podcast we go over the five stages of consciousness discussed by our guru Bhakti Vinod Thakur, 20th century pioneer of the Krishna consciousness movement: achchhadita-chetan, or covered consciousness; sankuchita-chetan, or suppressed consciousness; mukulita-chetan, or budding consciousness; vikasita-chetan, blossoming consciousness; and purna-vikasita-chetan, fully blossomed consciousness.
