The Matrix ← Māyā. The highest-grossing sci-fi film of its era asks "what is real?" — a question Sanskrit philosophy put at its center 2,500 years earlier. The word is माया · māyā: not "nothing is real," but the creative power by which infinite consciousness appears as a finite world. The film's answer is the red pill — wake up to a different reality. The Upaniṣadic answer runs the other way: the consciousness watching the illusion was never trapped by it. And the Wachowskis reached for the same texts — Revolutions ends on a chant from the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad, asato mā sad gamaya, "lead me from the unreal to the real." A scholar's quick decode from the Bhārat Darśan film-philosophy series.
Those who keep the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam in their home are worshiped by the devas. What's more, all ancestors of those who keep the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam in their home are benefited by the simple act of honoring the Bhāgavatam—inviting the Bhāgavatam into one's home. kṛṣṇe sva-dhāmopagate dharma-jñānādibhiḥ saha kalau naṣṭa-dṛśām eṣa purāṇārko 'dhunoditaḥ Just after Kṛṣṇa left—true to His nature, always protecting all living beings and giving everyone an equal opportunity to go back home, back to Godhead, or more than an equal opportunity. He's equal, samo 'haṁ sarva-bhūteṣu, to those who are indifferent to Him; but for those who have even the slightest inkling to reach Him, He gives more attention, opportunity, and even a little nudge here and there (or a big nudge) to go back home, back to Godhead. So today is very auspicious. I've been getting texts all this morning from victorious-sounding yātrās around the world saying, "We did it! We met our goal!" Toronto this morning—Śhyama Mohini texted me and said, ‘We made it!' Haribol! Which is amazing, because it didn't look like they could make it. It doesn't seem like you could do this. That's what the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is about: the things that it doesn't seem like it's possible to do, and then you do it, and then you realize, "I didn't do it. Lord Caitanya did it." But we have to show up. That's the thing. You always have to show up. And if you make some lame excuse why you can't show up—like your mother called you and needs a peanut butter and jelly sandwich right now—then you don't get that realization of how Kṛṣṇa is empowering everybody.

Everyone sings, too. Their sound includes elements of jazz as well, and the result is mesmerizing. Beneath the Spreading Tree by Sairie favorite track The Breeze on the Meadow Sairie is a psych folk sextet from Brighton, who've only released singles and EPs, until now. The dulcetly soaring female vocalist is at the fore most of the time, with a male vocalist joining in, and even being featured for a few tunes. Otherwise, autoharp, guitar, harmonium, bass, violin, cello, accordion, and percussion are the instruments, with the electric guitar in particular being a fine juxtaposition to the soprano female vocalist. Vale Of Tears by Andy Aquarius favorite track The Soft And Silent Pastures This thoughtful wyrd folk artist from Berlin returns with a full-length release. He's deeply inspired by nature and holy places, and these songs reflect his wanderings and ponderings. He plays all instruments, including Celtic harp, and provides vocals as well. This is a lovely addition to his catalogue, and is best heard from start to finish. Sing the World Awake by Baka Beyond favorite track Fair Molly (Mál Bhán Ní Chuilleanáin) Stalwart Afro-Celt musicians Baka Beyond, whose catalogue spans 30 years, are back after a 12-year recording drought. Instruments are guitars, bass, drums and percussion, violin, and various vocalists. From energetic to trance-inducing, there is something for everyone who loves this kind of music. Shaniko b/w The Valley The Shadow by Michael Trew I'm always eager to hear what Michael Trew has come up with, and never disappointed. This is a true single format, with two pieces, both with his wonderfully evocative vocals at the fore, a bit of a retro alt/rock feel. Both are exceptionally moving, but I'm going with, “The Valley Of The Shadow.” SEVEN REALMS OF ATTAR by NIYAZ favorite track LOVE Niyaz is an amalgamation of Middle Eastern, world, and electronica, composed and performed by Azam Ali and Loga Ramin Torkian. Azam Ali provides voice, beats & programming, percussion and keyboards; Loga Ramin Torkian plays kamaan, guitar-viol, robab, lafta, kopuz, electric guitar, additional programming, and keyboards; and they are joined by Sinan Cem Eroglu on kopuz, kaval, and voice. The overall effect is cinematic and mesmerizing. Under Your Skin by Tyler Kamen Tyler Kamen has release this single, that's a bit more idiosyncratic (if that can be said), than his previous outings perhaps because it's a standalone piece. It is still outstanding psych/folk/rock, so never fear, with a forceful wash of guitars and vocals. Hopefully a new full-length release is in the works. Blanco White “So Certain (Something Reminds Me) 2026 (5:17) Single Utterly haunting single from Blanco White, with his quavery voice, chilling harmonies, and shimmery violin. Hoping for another full-length release here, too. La Pernette by The Thorn As expected, The Thorn deliver the goods with this latest single, a traditional French ballad. Lysergically tinged heavy guitars are the perfect foil to the crystal clear vocals of Naomi Randall. In Thin Air by Spell Songs favorite track Bells Fall Still Seven stellar musicians make up Spell Songs. On this recording, it's all about the birds, inspired by a book about them, their habitats, and their increasing vulnerability. Instruments are all manner of guitars, bass, whistles, kora, piano other keyboards and synths, electroharp, viola, cello, ukulele, drums and other percussion, and everyone sings. Spellbinding. Empyrean by Raphael Weinroth-Browne favorite track Sanctum The fiery looping cellist is back with a new release, after issuing several singles ahead of the fact. Here, he does return to his usual slow burns working up to mayhem, but this time there's not just fire, but also some really luxuriantly warm pieces to settle in with.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an séú lá is fiche de mhí Mheán Fómhair. Is mise Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh.Cuireadh bille síos an tseachtain seo a thabharfadh saoire 20 lá do mhná atá i ndiaidh breith anabaí, agus saoire 10 lá do dhaoine atá ag dul faoi chóireáil torthúlachta. Rinne Coiste Fiontair an Oireachtais plé ar an reachtaíocht mholta Dé Céadaoin. Dúirt urlabharlaí ó Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre go n-aithneodh an bille seo an tionchar suntasach fisiciúil agus mothúchánach gur féidir na heispéiris seo imirt ar dhaoine, agus am saor ón obair á chur ar fáil do dhaoine nuair is mó gá. Agus í ag labhairt ar chlár teilifíse Morning Ireland de chuid RTÉ, dúirt Marie Sherlock, urlabhraí sláinte an Pháirtí, nach saincheisteanna sláinte amháin iad breith anabaí agus neamhthorthúlacht, ach saincheisteanna don ionad oibre fosta. Dúirt sí gur chuir a páirtí reachtaíocht faoi bhráid na cúirte cúig bliana ó shin agus gur bhain siad tacaíocht láidir thraspháirtí amach. Dúirt sí go bhfacthas forbairtí suntasacha le déanaí i dtíortha eile, lena n-áirítear an Ríocht Aontaithe, an Nua-Shéalainn agus Málta. "Is é fírinne an scéil ná go gcaithfimid a chinntiú nuair a bhíonn an eachtra neamhchoitianta sin ag oibrí ina saol, cibé acu breith anabaí nó cóireáil torthúlachta é, go dtugtar saoire chomhbhách don ionad oibre dóibh, agus gur cheart dóibh a bheith amuigh ar lánphá," a dúirt sí.Deir Roinn na Gaeltachta go gcuirfear tús leis an phróiseas comhairliúcháin maidir le caighdeáin teanga laistigh de sé mhí. Tagann na caighdeáin in áit chóras na scéimeanna teanga, agus tá an chéim seo ar cheann de phríomhbhearta na reachtaíochta teanga a ritheadh ag deireadh 2021. Bhí sé i gceist an córas nua a chur i bhfeidhm roimh dheireadh 2024 agus imní léirithe ag an Choimisinéir Teanga ó dheas agus ag polaiteoirí faoin mhoill. Faoin chóras nua caighdeán teanga, leagfar dualgais chaighdeánacha teanga ar chomhlachtaí poiblí bunaithe ar an mhéid teagmhála a bhíonn acu leis an phobal. Ag cruinniú de choiste Gaeilge an Oireachtais Dé Máirt, dúirt an Dr Aodhán Mac Cormaic, Ceannasaí Roinn na Gaeltachta, go raibh cur i bhfeidhm na reachtaíochta teanga sin níos casta ná aon rud eile a bhí feicthe aige. “Tá mise 40 bliain sa státseirbhís an mhí seo chugainn agus níor tháinig mé ar phíosa oibre chomh casta leis an phíosa oibre seo atá ar bun don togra seo uilig,” a dúirt an Dr Mac Cormaic agus é ag labhairt ar ullmhú na gcaighdeán, an sprioc earcaíochta 20% agus na bearta eile ata mar chuid d'Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2021. Cuireadh thart ar 2,000 duine amach as breis agus 300 teach i Falmouth i gCorn na Breataine agus saineolaithe ag plé le buama ón Dara Cogadh Domhanda a aimsíodh san fharraige. Glaodh ar na seirbhísí éigeandála ar 9.15 ar maidin nuair a aimsíodh gléas a chreidtear a bheith ina bhuama aeir Meiriceánach nár phleasc ón Dara Cogadh Domhanda san uisce. Cuireadh crios eisiaimh 300m i bhfeidhm ar dtús, a leathnaíodh go 755m. Cuireadh seirbhísí traenach idir stáisiúin Dugaí Falmouth agus Baile Falmouth ar ceal. Thug Póilíní Devon agus Chorn na Breataine rabhadh: “Má leathnaítear an crios slándála agus má tá cónaí ort laistigh den limistéar seo, moltar go láidir duit do theach a fhágáil faoi 09:00.” Chuaigh an crios eisiaimh i bhfeidhm ar 339 teach. Bunaíodh ionad aslonnaithe ag Eaglais All Saints ar Shráid Killigrew, áit a raibh réimse brioscaí, tae, caife agus luchtairí fón ar fáil d'aon duine a bhí curtha as a dteach, agus gabhadh buíochas le cónaitheoirí as a bhfoighne agus a gcuidiú i rith an ama.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

The Sixth Sense ← Sākshi. Cole Sear sees what others can't — but the film never asks what the "I" that sees actually is. Sanskrit philosophy names it: साक्षी · sākshi, the witness — the awareness that observes thought, emotion, and the body without being affected by any of them. Cole is burdened by what he sees; the Upaniṣads point the other way: what if you are the seeing itself? A scholar's quick decode from the Bhārat Darśan film-philosophy series.
In conclusion, all these people everywhere in San Diego, they're spirit souls from the spiritual world. This is where they should be; they're just disoriented, and it's a sleeping condition. But you can see, even when the soul is asleep, how powerful it is. It creates all these things while sleeping. This is all built while people are sound asleep—the soul is sound asleep—and they build all these semblances of a civilization. Imagine if they wake up! So the Bhāgavatam is the intervention. I've been asking lots of devotees to make these two-minute videos to promote the Bhādra Pūrṇimā. Viśākhā Devī Dāsī from the Manor in London sent me one last night, and she quoted from Śrīla Prabhupāda's writings on the Jaladuta when he was just coming into Boston Harbor. He was talking about how the Bhāgavatam would be the means through which everyone could wake up and come into their original consciousness. So this is an essential service: to transfer the Bhāgavatam into the society.

Prabhupāda encouraged all of the young people within his movement to take a risk. Don't think that you can get comfortable in this world. You can do your due diligence, which you have to do—tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā. But really, try to extend yourself to take a risk for giving other people opportunity to take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and by that you make swift advancement in devotional service, because śuśrūṣoḥ śraddadhānasya vāsudeva-kathā-ruciḥ syān mahat-sevayā viprāḥ puṇya-tīrtha-niṣevaṇāt (ŚB 1.2.16) Serve the great souls, considering oneself servant of the servant of the servant. Find the servant of the servant to please. Yesterday, I was on a call with Zone Two in North America, and the devotees from various temples were on there, and we were telling them about how to distribute sets of Bhāgavatams, and also we were showing them what their quotas were. Several of them rather surprised at the high number, but we were telling that everybody has to produce in order to come to the next level for us to achieve the 100,000. At one point, one of the devotees said—I think it was Ranchor, because he had just gone to the temple presidents' meeting, GBC. We sent him as a representative, and he said that Jai Kṛṣṇa Prabhu, who was a leader of that zone, wasn't on the call, but he said when he heard about the initiative for 100,000, he was very eager for everybody to rise to the occasion. And so I started saying amongst the group that we should do this to please Jai Kṛṣṇa, and it felt so appropriate to have a person who's an authorized person, who has taken some responsibility, that we can think, "How can I do this to please this next person?" When we become servant of the servant of the servant in this movement that Prabhupāda's given us, and in which he has empowered everyone who's serious to take up the process of following the regulative principles, chanting, and then trying to spread the saṅkīrtana movement—that's the sum and substance of what he taught us: hear all the books, chant, and then also try to spread the movement and take risks. If we take that mood of being the servant of the servant of the servant, and we try to do this, then Lord Caitanya will give us all facility, not just to do it, but also to increase our intense desire to be with Kṛṣṇa and to hear about Kṛṣṇa. So we have a great opportunity.

Tem uma cena de um filme que eu acho que ilustra o que eu quero dizer. É um casal de escaladores. A mulher está tentando chegar ao topo, mas cai várias vezes seguidas. E tem um motivo: o tempo está piorando, a temperatura está caindo, eles estão começando a correr riscos. Ela é obstinada e insiste. Então o marido diz: “é por isso que você escala acompanhada para que alguém te diga para parar quando você perde a noção”. E eu acho que isso é uma das coisas importantes sobre o processo de autoconhecimento. É muito importante que a gente valide o que a gente sente, confie nas nossas perpectivas. Mas, às vezes, o que vai nos salvar das armadilhas do nosso ego e da nossa inconsciência é alguém que nos ama, verdadeiramente, dizendo: posso te contar o que parece que você não está vendo?Não é sobre dar o poder ao outro, mas sobre ampliar a perspectivas. Talvez por isso eu lembrei daquela experiência que te conto nesse episódio. você vem?edição: @valdersouza1 identidade visual: @amandafogacatexto: @natyopsMEU LIVRO: Medo de dar certo: Como o receio de não conseguir sustentar uma posição de sucesso pode paralisar você | Amazon.com.brApoie a nossa mesa de bar: https://apoia.se/paradarnomeascoisasPALESTRAS:RJ 12/11: https://www.almatickets.com.br/events/natlia-sousa-no-rio-de-janeiro-palestra-para-a-vida-no-virar-um-borro-12112026-riodejaneiro BH 17/10: https://www.almatickets.com.br/events/natlia-sousa-em-belo-horizonte-palestra-para-a-vida-no-virar-um-borro-17102026-belohorizonte

Recorded 22nd November 2024We explore the final verse (Verse 104) of Śrīla Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī's Vilāpa-kusumāñjali („A Bouquet of Lamentations”).Unlike traditional prayers that conclude with a request for a benediction, this ultimate verse reveals that the prayer itself is its own benediction. Here, the material duality between beauty and intense agony dissolves, transforming deep longing in separation into eternal divine bliss (ānanda).Key Topics Covered in This Video: The Summit of Śādhana (Verse 104): Why the highest stage of devotion is realized through intense longing, profound humility, and love in separation (vipralambha). God vs. The Absolute Truth: A critical distinction from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam—why viewing God merely as a "controller" differs from pursuing the "Absolute Truth" as the ultimate source of all energies and loving relationships.

VOV1 - Sau những ngày mưa lớn gây ngập lụt cục bộ, khi nước rút, nông dân ở nhiều địa phương của Nghệ An đang khẩn trương ra đồng khắc phục diện tích cây trồng, sửa chữa ao nuôi, chủ động phòng trừ sâu bệnh, hạn chế thiệt hại và từng bước khôi phục sản xuất bị ảnh hưởng do mưa lũ.Mưa lũ những ngày qua khiến diện tích cây trồng của gia đình ông Phan Quốc Nam, xã Yên Thành, tỉnh Nghệ An hư hỏng nặng. Nước rút, gia đình ông tập trung nhân lực, thuê thêm lao động để khắc phục, xử lý để cây có điều kiện phục hồi. Ông Phan Quốc Nam, cho biết:“Nạo vét cạn mương cho ráo nước nhanh, hai nữa là phun thuốc để chống thối. Số thuốc bảo vệ thực vật được cung cấp, phun vào để kích rễ lên cho cây phát triển.”Tại những vùng trồng dưa, người dân cũng khẩn trương kiểm tra đồng ruộng, tập trung chăm sóc, phục hồi những diện tích còn khả năng phát triển. Bà Trần Thị Xuân, xã Minh Châu, tỉnh Nghệ An chia sẻ:“Mưa xong rồi, thứ nhất là phun phòng một đợt sâu, đến khi thu hoạch không phải phun nữa; hai là phun một đợt nấm nữa.”Đối với những diện tích dưa bị ngập, việc khôi phục được thực hiện khẩn trương hơn, nhất là những cây bị nước làm lộ gốc, rễ. Bà Nguyễn Thị Tuấn, xã Tân Châu, tỉnh Nghệ An cho biết:“Khi hết mưa, trời nắng lên, cây dưa mà vàng thì tôi phải chăm sóc tốt hơn. Đợt lụt vừa rồi thiệt hại, dưa lòi hết gốc, tôi phải ra vun gốc, bốc đất đắp lại gốc, những cây chưa được đắp đất đang lòi cả gốc rễ.”Không chỉ trên đồng ruộng, tại các khu vực nuôi thủy sản, người dân cũng đang kiểm tra, sửa chữa những hạng mục bị ảnh hưởng, chuẩn bị điều kiện để khôi phục sản xuất.Ao nuôi của gia đình ông Nguyễn Bá Hân, ở xã Giai Lạc bị sạt lở bờ, bong bạt lót. Sau khi mưa tạnh, gia đình ông tiến hành kiểm tra, tu sửa bờ ao, chỉnh lại phần bạt bị bong, nạo vét đất đá bồi lắng và vệ sinh ao. Ông Nguyễn Bá Hân, cho biết:“Kiểm tra, cái ao nào mà bị hỏng là tôi nâng cao lên hoặc là xử lý mương chính cho thoát ổn định hơn, để vụ sau không xảy ra tình trạng như thế này nữa.”Trong điều kiện thời tiết vẫn còn diễn biến phức tạp, khó lường, ngành nông nghiệp Nghệ An khuyến cáo người dân tiếp tục theo dõi tình hình thời tiết, chủ động các biện pháp bảo vệ cây trồng, vật nuôi và khôi phục sản xuất sau mưa lũ.Đối với diện tích lúa hè thu còn khả năng thu hoạch, cần khẩn trương thu hoạch gọn để hạn chế thiệt hại. Với những diện tích cây trồng bị ngập, không còn khả năng phục hồi, người dân cần căn cứ vào thời vụ và hướng dẫn của ngành chuyên môn để xuống giống lại, bảo đảm kế hoạch sản xuất.Từ đồng ruộng đến ao nuôi, nông dân Nghệ An đang tranh thủ thời tiết thuận lợi để khắc phục những ảnh hưởng do mưa lũ, từng bước đưa hoạt động sản xuất trở lại bình thường./.

What you can do now is put your energy into what Prabhupāda put his energy into, which is: let's give this to the world, and the best thing to give is the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. We have a project right now which will catch your imagination. It started circa 2018. We came across a verse in the 12th Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam that says: "When you give away a set of Bhāgavatas as a gift on the full moon day in the month of Bhādra, you get the return gift of going back home, back to Godhead." We saw that, and we conceived of a worldwide effort, as we feel that devotees everywhere feel most empowered when they work together in cooperation. Yes, there is competition, and that will always be there because it's the nature of the individual soul to want to compete; but when we work together as one global team, we feel that we're united all over the world for the highest purpose—an unassailable purpose, which is to distribute the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, following in the footsteps of Śrīla Prabhupāda and the great ācāryas.

19920112 Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.4.11 in Madras @JPS Archives
This morning I'm going to read something from Śrīla Prabhupāda; it's a letter that he had written to Mahendra. He said, "You have expressed the desire to become an Āyurvedic physician, but I do not think that this proposal is very good. This science is not so important to us now, because in your country there is ample facility for receiving medicines. Besides, many of the herbs which are needed for Āyurvedic treatment would have to be sent here from India, and this is not very practical. This homeopathic medicine you have mentioned is not genuine, and therefore it is a bluff. So the first medicine which you should be concerned with is to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and to become increasingly steady in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Study Bhagavad-gītā As It Is and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and continue to help your godbrothers in developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So develop your preaching abilities in this way, and this will be the most successful and appreciated endeavor." So the first medicine which you should be concerned with is to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, and become increasingly steady in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. In Māyāpur, Devakīnandana Prabhu from Singapore was giving a class, and someone asked, "Why do devotees involve themselves with astrology if it has to do with the material modes of nature?" And Devakīnandana said, "Actually, devotees don't put much stock in astrology, but because the material world is so miserable, they can't help but peek and see, like, 'Why am I suffering so much?' They want to see some trend, try to get some understanding of how they might relieve themselves of the suffering in the material world because it's relentless." Same reason people watch the news: there's some idea that "If I watch the news, maybe I can quell the waves of suffering in my mind," but it only increases them. “Duḥkhauṣadhaṁ tad api duḥkham atad-dhiyāham”—Prahlāda Mahārāja says that the cure is worse than the disease itself. But there is one medicine that's infallible, and it's chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa—and as Prabhupāda mentioned, also reading from and hearing from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Bhagavad-gītā. So this is the main purpose of the human form of life: to develop this steadiness in chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, hearing and chanting. And for us, it's all available. We have the parameters; we have the facility. So I'm thanking you all for taking advantage of Japa Jolt this morning, and make sure that you supplement your day by hearing from Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. If you put all those three together, you'll find relief from the onslaught of miseries that come as a course of being in the material world.

What's up bros?? We're in our new new third era of RHONY and maybe, just maybe this one will work! We actually say that with all sincerity as this episode was actually pretty entertaining. Maybe the strategy of 3 of the only interesting cast mates from the last rendition of RHONY + newbies will actually work out being that they have friendships with these new cast mates. Either way, let's hope we have another good housewives show or at the very least, a watchable housewives show. God, the bar is so low. Thanks OC & BH! Learn more about your ad choices.

When you hear the vignettes and the longer stories from the Bhāgavatam about certain people's interactions with the material nature, it has that effect that it forewarns us about what the consequences of following these are. It gives us that strength of purpose in mind. So the combination of chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa and hearing Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam regularly is very powerful, and also we have to take steps on a regular daily basis to practice controlling the mind. Contrary to what the mind says—because it's unruly: "You won't be happy if you control the mind"—it's the opposite. When you control the mind, then you become peaceful. You can't do it all at once, but take tiny, tiny steps to make sure that from the time you wake up, you have a way to keep your mind contained—you don't just let it go anywhere. As an example, there is a waking-up routine to make sure. First thing when you open your eyes, or you open your consciousness out of sleep, you have a mantra that you can meditate upon. I do jayati jana-nivāso devakī-janma-vādo, and I have memorized all the parts of it and read all the commentaries, so it's a meditation for me before I do anything else. And then I give gratitude to Prabhupāda and Kṛṣṇa; I'm just like, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." There are a few other mantras, but it's not necessary. The main thing is: let your mind take shelter as soon as you wake up, and then make sure there are guardrails. What helps me the most for the waking-up process is to have everything lined up the night before. Make sure your āśrama is spotless and that everything's organized. My experience when I wake up to that, is: 'Who did this?' It was somebody else, and I'm so appreciative of that somebody else, and that keeps me on a track. I do this, I do that. I have my papers lined up. Which one I'm going to look at first? Let's just say if somebody has an attraction to a little box that has a light in it—which is the smartphone—a lot of people get attached to that, and their mind gets an addiction to it. There is a replacement for it.(07:54) ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #japajolt #makejapagreatagain #mantrameditation #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
For the past few months, Prabhu and I have been reading biographies written by some of your earliest disciples. It has been inspiring to hear, in their own words, how you empowered them and how, through their association with you, they began to imbibe that same mood of surrender, fearlessness, and willingness to take risks in order to please their spiritual master and spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Just as you had taken up the order and mood of your Guru Mahārāja into your heart, you somehow placed the same spirit within theirs. Depending on your guidance and what they sometimes experienced as "Kṛṣṇa magic," they ventured far beyond what they themselves thought they were capable of—with little experience, few resources, and often no clear idea how what you had asked of them could possibly be accomplished. They simply went forward on the strength of your instruction and their desire to please you, and by your mercy and Kṛṣṇa's arrangement, they accomplished things that even they could not have imagined. That same spirit of dependence upon your mercy continues today. This year, as an offering to you, the devotees in temples and communities around the world are once again relying upon your grace—and a little "Kṛṣṇa magic"—to accomplish something that only a few years ago would have seemed unimaginable: the distribution of 100,008 sets of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam by September 26, Bhadra Pūrṇimā. What once might have seemed an impossible goal has become possible because you taught us to think beyond our own limitations, to depend upon Kṛṣṇa, to cooperate together, and to take risks in His service. You showed us that when we sincerely try to carry out the order and desire of the spiritual master, Kṛṣṇa can provide opportunities and arrangements far beyond anything we could accomplish by our own strength.(02:46) (excerpt from the offering by HG Nirakula Dasi) ------------------------------------------------------------ Offering by HG Vaisesika Dasa on behalf of ISV Part 1: You Equipped Us to Defeat the Empire of Doubt (10:58) Part 2: You Healed What the World Could Not Diagnose (16:05) Part 3: You Showed Us That Paramparā Is Alive in Us (22:22) You taught us that the paramparā is not a museum, but a living current. It persists wherever devotees offer complete surrender to the previous ācāryas through faithful transmission of their message. We take seriously our role in this. This community, your temple, Śrīla Prabhupāda, is not merely a place of worship; it is a place of transmission. Every class, every festival, every plate of prasādam we give, every book we place in someone's hands—these are the paramparā moving through us as it has always moved: one person at a time, one genuine connection at a time. Our prayer, dear Śrīla Prabhupāda: You said of Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura that he left the work of spreading the saṅkīrtana movement unfinished so that we would have some service. That is his mercy. You have extended that same mercy to us. We pray to carry your teachings forward with dignity. We are your foolish, stumbling, but earnest servants. We chant your praṇāma-mantra every morning and remember that you came to lift the world out of its spiritual poverty. We pray, therefore, that we may please you by our services, imperfect as they are, and that by your continued mercy, this community may grow into an ever brighter and more powerful instrument for the saṅkīrtana movement of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. We pray to remain your ideal followers—perpetually students before you, always prepared to receive your guidance, never imagining that we have arrived.

After an extended hiatus, we're stoked to announce that the B&H Photography Podcast is back online with an impressive visual identity and a vibrant new studio space for hosting in-person guests. In this Welcome Back prequel, host Derek Fahsbender elaborates on some of the moving parts involved in our transition from audio-only to a fully-fledged video podcast. He also introduces the show's new technical producer Peter Maziarz, who adds his insights from behind the mixing board. As Derek notes, our recent process in rebooting the podcast is not so different than "a typical day in the life of a photographer—figuring things out." He also shares a deeply personal perspective on his evolution as a photographer by asking, "How has it made me a better person? How does life imitate art and art imitate life? And the two interconnect in a way that as I'm getting better as a photographer, I'm hopefully getting better as a person, and seeing the world in a different light." Take a tour of our new studio space in the photos posted here. And for regular updates and inspiring chats in our new format, follow us on social media @bhpodcastnetwork.

I resonate with what you said earlier about being very genuine and vulnerable. As if you focus on trying to do everything right, then you probably won't. But if you're just being yourself and express yourself very clearly, then oftentimes it's a more natural exchange. For instance, to someone going on talking and talking, just tell them what's on your mind and say, "Are you interested in this," or "Is this something that you want to take?" It's not that you're balancing whether you should say it or not. If you feel that urge, just be straightforward and tell people. And I find the more straightforward you are when you go out, and don't depend on a set number of lines or whatever it is—although that sounds contradictory because I teach a template, but it's a scale that you can then deviate from later. But I find personally the more natural I am and very straightforward with people, the more they appreciate it and the less intimidated I feel. As far as whether the person is interested or not, I just ask them. You can also then cut to the chase, which is that it's for a donation. Because that's where the proverbial rubber meets the road—is when you bring up the donation part. And then you can see if the book comes flying right back. It's like, "Oh yeah, no, no, I got to go." That kind of ends it anyway. We don't sell them; it's only for donation. You know, give something. A lot of times you would be surprised .We've had a story. I was with my friend Bānabhatta, and we were talking to this guy. He was from Taiwan, I think, and we were working together behind a booth.So this guy was going on and on and on, asking all these questions. He was talking to Bānabhatta, and I was starting to vibe Bhānavata like, "Come on, move on, shut this down." And Bānabhatta just went, "Sir, I got to go. We're doing important work here, and we got to stop." And the guy said: "Oh, I'm sorry." He took his briefcase out, he put $10,000 in cash on the table, and then he went. He took the book, put it in there, and walked away. And we were looking at each other like, "What? What just happened?" So don't worry about closing a sale at the end if you're wondering, because really it's up to Kṛṣṇa. If the person was going to give, they'll give anyway. And if they weren't going to give, that kind of shuts the thing down.

I want to mention at the outset of this meeting that Janmashtami has been historically the best time to distribute Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam sets. People come to see Kṛṣṇa; they're in a very open-hearted mood. Last night, we did a pre-Janmashtami festival in a far-flung place on the dark side of the moon near where we live here in the Bay Area—it's a long drive. The devotees had put on an amazing Janmashtami ceremony for the local people who live there. Their consumption of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam was seemingly insatiable, and one of the reasons that they took so many Bhāgavatam sets last night was because we had three stations to present them in the crowd. People were milling from one place to the next, and then they would inevitably come to a station where the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam was prominently displayed and where there were several devotees there to assist them in taking their copy of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam home with them. So, my suggestion is: take advantage of Janmashtami, because it's the most logical time that people would take a Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam set. It's the time in which they're coming to see Kṛṣṇa. These people who come to Janmashtami are the cream of the crop. They want to see Kṛṣṇa, and many of them would like to take a set of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatams home with them. So, keep in mind the three keys to distributing a Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam set: Pray Display Relay I'll repeat that as we continue because other devotees may be joining. Let's not miss the biggest opportunity of the Bhādra period, which is Janmashtami. Be ready for it; take advantage of it.
