Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the message of need to sift perspect shared in Srimad Bhagavatam.  Seeking to relive the suffering of Mother Earth, the gods and goddesses gather for an epic moment of clarity—chanting the Purusha Sukta hymn of the Vedas. What follows is a brilliant meditation on zooming out of our small dramas and plugging into the greater cosmic intelligence behind it all.   Raghunath shares a story of fatherly panic as his daughter falls ill across the ocean, while Kaustubha unpacks the deeper meaning of the universe as a unified being—rooted in the divine Purusha. Carl Sagan makes a guest appearance, reminding us from 4 billion miles away that Earth is but a speck in the void—and our self-importance might need a little deflation.   Key Highlights: • “Our imagined self-importance is challenged by this point of pale light.” – Carl Sagan • How chanting Purusha Sukta re-centers the mind and soul • A fine line between spiritual detachment and showing up for those we love • Learning to see God's hands when His face is hidden • Why the Bhagavatam is the “superfood” of spiritual literature

Four Simple Steps to Get to Sixteen Rounds And Stay There | HG Vaiśeṣika Dāsa | ISV | 18 Jan 2025

This is an outline called "Getting to 16 Rounds," but it could also include "staying at 16 Rounds." And I'll just go through it briefly. It's helpful, oftentimes, to consider or reconsider any process that one's doing every day in the way that I've conceived a simple process to help someone get to 16 rounds or to, as I just said, review and stay at 16 rounds. Here are a few steps: Number one is to learn about the glories of the holy name. Just this morning, I heard Prabhupāda speaking about Ajāmila and how he had inadvertently said the name Nārāyaṇa, and Prabhupāda was giving śāstric reference to the fact that by even unknowingly chanting the holy name, when it becomes cleansed of many misgivings and obstacles on the path. This is something that is also mentioned in the Harināma Cintāmaṇi to study one's relationship with the Holy Name. Bhaktivinod Thākur mentions in a song, "There's nothing else to be had except the holy name." That's something to consider: if I'm chanting, everything's there—nothing else is needed. Saṁskṛta Bhagavatam says "āpannaḥ saṁsṛtiṁ ghorāṁ", that the name is the same as Kṛṣṇa, and it fulfills all desires. At SB 11:5:26, there's a name of Kṛṣṇa—Vṛṣākapi, which means that if living entities simply remember the Lord, He's inclined to shower all benedictions upon them, thus satisfying their desires and removing their miseries.

And so in that period of anartha-nivṛtti, you want to get to the next stage after anartha-nivṛtti. Then you have nishta, where, as is described in these verses. We've all been quoting 'naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā bhagavaty uttama-śloke bhaktir bhavati naiṣṭhikī (SB 1.2.18).' Naiṣṭhikī means nishtha. You know that word 'stha,' it's the same as the word stand. That's where it comes from. The word stand. You know you stand in one place or like you have an understanding, because it's clear to you then, and nishta means that you're no longer pushed by these urges that affect everybody in the material world. That's a miracle, and that miracle happens when you keep going in devotional service and practicing the basic tenets with good association and full faith in the Lord's orders. At a certain time, you start to notice Bhagavatam says, 'tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye ceta etair anāviddhaṁ sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati (SB 1.2.19).' You know what the word Tada means? It means 'ta-da'. It's like you're practicing. And then all of a sudden, wait a minute, how come I didn't fall asleep? How come I didn't go in the other room and grab my phone while I was chanting? How come I wanted to go to the Bhāgavatam class instead of watching a special on I don't know whatever there is out there. I don't know what all the offerings are, but this is by the mercy of the Lord. Because of your faithful adherence to the process of devotional service. And when you come to nishta, there are so many possibilities open in your life. You've crossed the great desert of anarta nivritti, which seems to go on forever and ever and ever. When you come to nishta, tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye ceta etair anāviddhaṁ sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati, you actually start to touch the śuddha sattva, which means the spiritual energy. And then from there, it's like you're pushing a big boulder up the hill. And when Ruchi comes, the boulder starts to roll down by itself. Ruchi means, I really want this. It's not that I have to control myself. I have to control myself not to run after Kṛṣṇa.

And this Imlitala tree has been here since the time of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who used to come here from Akrūra-ghāt, and he would sit and chant his japa. So nice to know that the founder of the Gauḍīya Sampradāya chants japa. It's a good indication of what's important because he would sit here from early morning time until the late morning, early afternoon, chanting japa under the Imlitala tree. So, you can keep that idea in your mind when you chant japa. Because " tvayy ambujākṣākhila-sattva-dhāmni samādhinā veśita-cetasaiketvat-pāda-potena mahat-kṛtena kurvanti govatsa-padaṁ bhavābdhim (10.2.30)", the demigods praying to Lord Krishna within the womb say we should develop a samadhi on Kṛṣṇa. Why? Because He's the source of everything. And if you give your attention to Kṛṣṇa, "ananya-cetāḥ satataṁ yo māṁ smarati nityaśaḥ tasyāhaṁ su-labhaḥ pārtha nitya-yuktasya yoginaḥ (BG 8.14)", Kṛṣṇa says in Bhagavad-gītā, it is a very easy, simple process—think of me always. And the Bhagavatam verse says cetasaike, make your vision one-pointed, just concentrate on Krishna. Then it says "tvat-pāda-potena mahat-kṛtena, mahat kṛtena". How do you do that? You follow in the footsteps of the mahat, the greats. So, who are the greats? We have Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, name a few more...
