In this world, you may have a complicated life. You may think yourself unqualified. Don't worry. If you follow in the footsteps of the sages, you'll be successful. "Tvat-pāda-potena mahat-kṛtena," means if you follow the process given by the greats, then you'll be boarding a boat. In this verse, it says that the ocean of complexity, which is this material world, shrinks for those who have the process. How small ? Size of the hoof print of a calf, and then one can easily step over it. And in the next verse, Brahma goes on and describes how that becomes a boat where we can cross the material ocean but when you approach the boat, the ocean shrinks. And Prabhupāda explains in the purport how we're part of what's called the Ācārya-sampradāya. When we come to an ISKCON temple, we find that Prabhupāda is prominently seated there. That's lucky for us. If you go to see Rādhā-Govinda in Jaipur for mangala-ārti, no doubt, one of the most ecstatic experiences in the world when you go to see Rādhā-Govinda, but you won't find a prominently seated Ācārya somewhere. If you go to the temples of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura in Māyāpur, his flagship temple, you'll find all the Ācāryas. In fact, they're situated in a circle around Gandharvikā Giridhārī, and you can go see each one where their origin is. Each one comes from a divine origin passed down to other mahats, other greats. And he emphasized that, as do all the Ācāryas, and as does Kṛṣṇa Himself, "ācāryaṁ māṁ vijānīyān navamanyeta karhicit." One should respect the Ācārya-sampradāya, Kṛṣṇa says. "Don't consider that they're ordinary people. Consider that you should sit there the sum total, better than all the demigods put together, and not ordinary." So we have this clear object of meditation. We also have a clear path that one may follow to walk in the footsteps of the Ācāryas. It consists of what we've been given, and those who follow the simple path strictly are the most successful. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #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

This verse in the Śrī Brahma-saṁhitā (BS 5:37) describes Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. It says Kṛṣṇa is there, but eternally expanded to serve him is Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, and within the purport—have you ever read the purport to that verse? We've read it together in the old days. It's the longest purport you'll find in the Brahma-saṁhitā or perhaps anywhere else, and it's a description really of the 64 arts that Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is perfect in. And she offers that to Kṛṣṇa. It's this perfection of service that is ārādhanam, this feeling of "Let me perfect my service." So this is the motto of ISV. Our motto, our battle cry, is "Always better service," and this is the mood of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, and all the devotees are always trying to follow in her footsteps to perform better and better service to Kṛṣṇa, because her service is the best. Her service is perfect, so we try to perfect our service. In Vṛndāvana once, Prabhupāda came out of his room and the devotees offered him a garland. It was scraggly. Is that a word? Scraggly? It is? Yay! It was scraggly; it was withered. And in the first place, it wasn't a very nice garland, but after the heat hit it, then it turned into something that made Prabhupāda's lips curl a little bit. And then he called all the garland makers to his room, and he gave them a seminar on how to make garlands. So when I walked in this morning and I saw these—the garlands that the devotees are making here—this is ārādhanam. This is the mood of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. In the fine arts in the spiritual world, as an example, garland making is one of the arts. Can it be refined? Well, I remember a day here at ISV when it was by Jamunā's grace that we had any flowers at all. We were so poor. How poor were we? I remember we were so poor when we decided to start our saṅkīrtan party and we needed a table. We looked around at each other, "Where are we going to get it? We need a table to set up. We'll have to get somebody to loan us the money." The flowers that we were getting, because Jamunā from the very beginning was the only one supplying us flowers, and they were carnations, but the room was so hot there at our old temple. How hot was it? It was so hot that those little garlands that we offered, the best of what we could put together, they would dry up within an hour and they became these very scraggly little garlands. But over time, we see that the devotees have learned the art of making garlands, and Kṛṣṇa has given more and more facility to get flowers, which is the real opulence in Deity worship—flowers. And now, if you see these vases up here next to Prabhupāda or over here, this looks like somebody is following in the footsteps of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. What to speak of Prabhupāda's garland! Hare Kṛṣṇa! And you can imagine, while they are making those garlands—they take hours, it takes hours to make those—and then the offering goes. And Śrīla Prabhupāda wears it for a few hours. The Deities wear them for a few hours. But do the devotees who made them feel satisfied? Yeah, completely satisfied...

If you want to find the ultimate thing, you have to ask the question and if you want to acquire something, you have to ask about it. And whatever you ask about, that's what you're going to get. So if you just ask about the basic necessities of life, you get what the snails get: just a little grass. But if you ask about God, then you can get that. So the Brahma-sūtra says, "Athāto Brahma-jijñāsā." Now you should ask, who is Brahman? ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #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

Suatu ketika, saat Buddha sedang melakukan Pindapatta di Rajagaha, Beliau tersenyum saat melihat seekor babi betina muda yang kotor. Ketika ditanya oleh Yang Mulia Ananda, Buddha menjawab, “Ananda, babi betina muda ini dulunya adalah seekor ayam betina pada masa Buddha Kakusandha. Karena ia tinggal di dekat ruang makan sebuah vihara, ia terbiasa mendengar pengulangan teks suci dan diskursus Dhamma. Ketika meninggal, ia terlahir kembali menjadi seorang putri.”Buddha melanjutkan, “Pada suatu saat, ketika sang putri sedang menuju ke jamban, ia melihat belatung dan menjadi sadar akan sifat menjijikkan dari tubuh, dan lain-lain. Ketika sang putri meninggal, ia terlahir kembali di alam Brahma sebagai brahma putthujjana, tapi kemudian diakibatkan oleh beberapa kamma buruknya, ia terlahir kembali sebagai seekor babi betina.” Mengapa bisa terjadi hal demikian? Bagaimana cara melepaskan diri dari lingkaran kehidupan yang bisa menjadi tiada akhir ini menurut Buddha?Di kelas ini Ashin Kheminda menjelaskan makna kata demi kata stanza 334-343 dari Kelompok Stanza tentang Nafsu Keinginan (Tanhāvagga) hanya berdasarkan Pāḷi dan kitab komentarnya (Aṭṭhakathā).

In the spiritual world, this is the norm: that every gait is a dance, every word is a song. So the spiritual world is not void, and Kṛṣṇa is not alone, but the spiritual world is where all the living entities who are enlightened and in love with Kṛṣṇa reside. The material world is a little lonely because we are separated from the light of the spiritual worlds and from Kṛṣṇa. So the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam brings our attention to the portals through which we can see the spiritual world and understand it. It's not illogical. In the Bhagavad-gītā, Kṛṣṇa says, "ūrdhva-mūlam adhaḥ-śākham aśvatthaṁ prāhur avyayam chandāṁsi yasya parṇāni yas taṁ veda sa veda-vit," that this material world is a reflection of the spiritual world. We see variety here, but the variety here is temporary. It has a shelf life. Whatever we want to embrace here, whatever we want to taste here, has a beginning and an end. It's a temporary world because it's a reflection of the spiritual world. So the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam says that the mission of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is "reality distinguished from illusion for the benefit of all." If I try to embrace an illusory apple, a reflection on the water, this is folly; I won't be able to eat it. But the substance is there in the spiritual world. So Brahmā gives this explanation of how one can see Kṛṣṇa. He says, "Although Kṛṣṇa is transcendental form is presented as black." Devotees who are in love with the Supreme Personality of Godhead appreciate the Lord as Śyāmasundara, having a very beautiful, blackish form. The Lord's form is so beautiful that the Brahma-saṁhitā also states, "veṇuṁ kvaṇantam aravinda-dalāyatākṣaṁ barhāvataṁsam asitāmbuda-sundarāṅgam / kandarpa-koṭi-kamanīya-viśeṣa-śobhaṁ / govindam ādipuruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi... I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord who plays on His transcendental flute. His eyes are like lotus flowers. He is decorated with peacock plumes, and his bodily color resembles the color of a fresh black cloud. Although his bodily features are more beautiful than millions of Cupids, this beauty of the Supreme Lord can be seen by devotees who are in love with him, devotees whose eyes are anointed with the love of Godhead: 'Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena.' ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #prabhupadapicks #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

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabía una vez, en la era de los grandes reinos cuando los dioses aún caminaban entre los hombres y los ríos hablaban en sueños,, vivía el rey Sagara, poderoso y orgulloso. Deseando afirmar su supremacía, ordenó a sus 60,000 hijos que buscaran el caballo robado de un ritual sagrado.Este caballo había sido robado por Indra y llevado a Patala cerca de la ermita de el sabio Kapila.  Los hijos de Sagara viajaron hasta la ermita de dicho sabio y rodearon y profanaron  el santuario donde el sabio estaba meditando en silencio e ignorante de lo que estaba sucediendo Cuando Kapila abrio los ojos y vio los 60 mil hijos de Sagara alrededor Kapila, . Su mirada era fuego.“La ignorancia es la mayor ofensa,” dijo, y con un solo pensamiento, redujo a cenizas a los 60,000 hijos.Sus almas quedaron atrapadas en el mundo intermedio, sin poder ascender ni reencarnar. El linaje de Sagara quedó maldito.Generaciones después, nació Bhagiratha, último heredero de esa estirpe. No era guerrero ni conquistador, sino un hombre de profunda compasión. Al conocer el destino de sus ancestros, juró liberarlos. Bhagiratha, joven pero sabio, decidió romper el ciclo.Renunció al trono, vistió ropas de corteza, y se retiró a las montañas del Himalaya, donde el cielo toca la tierra donde el aire es delgado y los pensamientos se vuelven claros como cristal.. Allí, entre glaciares y vientos que hablan en lenguas antiguas, meditó durante mil años, inmóvil como una roca, su mente fija en la redención y alimentándose solo de luz y voluntadLos dioses lo observaron. Brahma, el creador, descendió en un rayo de luz.Los dioses lo observaron. Brahma, el creador, se conmovió por su devoción y le ofreció una solución: haría que Ganga, el río celestial que fluía entre las estrellas, descendiera a la tierra para purificar las cenizas de sus ancestros. Pero había un problema:“Si Ganga cae directamente, su fuerza destruirá la tierra. Solo Shiva, el señor de la transformación, puede contenerla.”Bhagiratha comenzó una nueva penitencia, esta vez dirigida a Shiva, el dios que habita en la frontera entre la vida y la muerte. Shiva, con su piel cenicienta y su cabello como raíces cósmicas, meditaba en el monte Kailash. Las plegarias llegaron hasta Shiva  quien . Abrió su tercer ojo, y el universo tembló.Con voz profunda y grave el dios dijo “Acepto tu suplica ”, dijo. “Que Ganga caiga sobre mí.”Y así ocurrió. Los cielos se abrieronDesde los reinos celestiales, Ganga, la diosa del río, descendió. , Ganga descendió como una serpiente de luz, una corriente de agua que brillaba con estrellas. Su cuerpo era agua luminosa, su voz era canto, su mirada era compasión. Pero también era orgullosa.“¿Por qué debo descender al mundo de los hombres?”, preguntó. Bhagiratha respondió: “Para liberar a los que sufren. Para unir cielo y tierra.”Ganga aceptó. Cayó como un torrente de estrellas. Pero justo antes de tocar la tierra, Shiva la atrapó en su cabello, enredándola en sus trenzas como quien guarda una flor de una tormenta o un relámpago en una caja de madera.La diosa se agitó, furiosa. Shiva sonrió, y con un gesto, liberó una hebra de su cabello De esa hebra nació el río Ganga, que serpenteó por las montañas, siguió a Bhagiratha por valles y desiertos, hasta llegar al lugar donde yacían las cenizas de sus ancestros. Al tocar la tierra, el agua cantó.y  Las almas de aquellos 60000 antepasados de Bhagiratha se elevaron como pájaros, libres al fin.Desde entonces, Ganges es más que un río. Es madre, es diosa, es puente e

Et si les histoires d'amour les plus anciennes étaient aussi les plus folles ? Cet été, À la folie, pas du tout explore les liaisons mythologiques, de la Grèce antique à Rome, entre dieux capricieux, mortels éperdus et destins brisés. Ces récits fondateurs révèlent des passions brûlantes, parfois cruelles, souvent dérangeantes. À écouter au soleil… ou à l'ombre des tragédies. L'Hindouisme est une des plus anciennes religions du monde encore largement pratiquée aujourd'hui., et compte 300 millions de dieux et de déesses et ses concepts sont très différents de nos mythologies occidentales. Les trois dieux les plus importants sont : Brahma, le créateur, Vishnou, le conservateur, et Shiva, le destructeur. C'est à l'histoire de Shiva que nous allons nous intéresser dans cet épisode. A son histoire d'amour avec Parvati, et à leur fils, Ganesh, un des dieux les plus vénérés en Inde. Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecrit et raconté par Alice Deroide Learn more about your ad choices.

“When Lord Brahma was perplexed about how to construct the material manifestations in the universe and went down within the water to find out the means and the source of his lotus seat, he heard the word tapa vibrated twice. Taking the path of tapa is the second birth of the desiring disciple. The word upashrinot is very significant. It is similar to upanayana, or bringing the disciple nearer to the spiritual master for the path of tapa. So Brahmaji was thus initiated by Lord Krishna, and this fact is corroborated by Brahmaji himself in his book the Brahma-samhita.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 2.9.6 Purport)

These verses have spiritual power in them. Puṇya, śravaṇa-kīrtana. Puṇya! Everyone wants some puṇya, but what's the best way to get puṇya? By just staying in contact with these ślokas. They're pregnant with puṇya. And when one reads them, hears them, memorizes them, it comes out because they are transcendental. "Itaṁ bhūta-guṇo Hari"—they have the same quality as Krishna does; they're transcendental. So, when you stay absorbed in these ślokas and these śāstras, you'll get this kind of spiritual enlivening and spiritual credit that comes from this very powerful, uttama-śloka. So, they purify us. They prepare us for the time of death. In the Gajendra-mokṣaṇa, we'll find that Gajendra, who had been King Indradyumna in his last life, when he offended the sage, the sage became angry at him and cursed him, “You become a dumb animal in your next life!” So, he became an elephant. And then Gajendra was bathing one day with his family, and he got captured by a crocodile. And when he was in great anxiety, he remembered the ślokas that he had recited dutifully in his previous life. In that section of the Bhāgavatam, Śrīla Prabhupāda mentions that besides chanting, “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare,” one should also learn some Stotram, like Cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu (like we're learning the Brahma-saṁhitā altogether), or the Nṛsiṁha prayers, or some other kind of Stotram. And one should become very well acquainted with it, he said, because if some of my students don't happen to—you know, if they happen to make some slip and they become an animal in the next life—they'll even be saved from that. This is how potent memorizing these ślokas are. They're indelible. They go into the heart, the subtle body, and they stay there. And one can take shelter of those ślokas at any time, even in the next lifetime. So, think of it as the best investment of your time. So here are a few quotes from Śrīla Prabhupāda about learning verses. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #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

Class by Rev. Dr. Mahant Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati on Book X, chapter 13, verses 6 - 8 of Srimad Bhagavatam given at Kali Mandir Ramakrishna Ashram on 21 June 2025. Brahma said: तथापि भूमन् महिमागुणस्य ते विबोद्धुम् अर्हत्य् अमलान्तरात्मभिः | अविक्रियात् स्वानुभवाद् अरूपतो ह्य् अनन्यबोध्यात्मतया न चान्यथा || ६ || tathāpi bhūman mahimāguṇasya te viboddhum arhaty amalāntar-ātmabhiḥ | avikriyāt svānubhavād arūpato hy ananya-bodhyātmatayā na cānyathā || 6 ||   6. "Nevertheless, Oh Infinite One (tathāpi bhūman), Your infinite nature beyond the gunas (mahimā aguṇasya te), changeless (avikriyāt), formless (arūpataḥ), and self-effulgent (hi ananya bodhya can be known by self realization (ātmatayā viboddhum) by one whose mind and senses are pure and in-drawn (arhati amala antar-ātmabhih), through one's own direct perception (sva anubhava), and not otherwise (na ca anyathā)."   गुन्̣आत्मनस् तेऽपि गुन्̣आन् विमातुं हितावतीर्̣नस्य क ईशिरेऽस्य | कालेन यैर् वा विमिताह्̣ सुकल्पैर् भूपांशवह्̣ खे मिहिका द्युभासह्̣ || ७ || guṇātmanas te 'pi guṇān vimātuḿ hitāvatīṛnasya ka īśire 'sya | kālena yair vā vimitāḥ su-kalpair bhū-pāḿśavaḥ khe mihikā dyu-bhāsaḥ || 7 ||   7. "Oh Self of the gunas (guṇa-ātmanaḥ), to count Your qualities ( te api guṇān vimātum) -- You who have incarnated for the good of all ( hita-avatīrṇasya ) -- is like a geniuses, for all eternity, counting (asya kālena yaiḥ vā vimitāḥ su-kalpaiḥ) all the grains of sand on the earth (bhū-pāḿśavaḥ), all water drops in the air ( khe mihikāḥ), and all the stars in the sky (dyu-bhāsaḥ)."   तत् ते ऽनुकम्पां सुसमीक्स्̣अमान्̣ओ भुञ्जान एवात्मक्र्̣तं विपाकम् | ह्र्̣द्वाग्वपुर्भिर् विदधन् नमस् ते जीवेत यो मुक्तिपदे स दायभाक् || ८ || tat te 'nukampāṃ su-samīkṣamāṇo bhuñjāna evātma-kṛtaṃ vipākam | hṛd-vāg-vapurbhir vidadhan namas te jīveta yo mukti-pade sa dāya-bhāk || 8 ||   8. "Therefore (tat) whoever lives (jīveta yaḥ) depending upon Your compassion (te anukampām su-samīkṣamāṇaḥ), tolerating the results of their own actions (bhuñjānaḥ eva ātma-kṛtam  vipākam) and surrendering to You with heart, words and body (hṛt vāk vapurbhiḥ vidadhan namaḥ te), becomes the rightful heir of liberation (mukti-pade saḥ dāya-bhāk)."

“When Lord Brahma was perplexed about how to construct the material manifestations in the universe and went down within the water to find out the means and the source of his lotus seat, he heard the word tapa vibrated twice. Taking the path of tapa is the second birth of the desiring disciple. The word upashrinot is very significant. It is similar to upanayana, or bringing the disciple nearer to the spiritual master for the path of tapa. So Brahmaji was thus initiated by Lord Krishna, and this fact is corroborated by Brahmaji himself in his book the Brahma-samhita.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 2.9.6 Purport)

This is the story of the Buddha's greatest miracle presented by Ajahn Moneyyo: The Fire Sermon (Adittapariyaya Sutta) and the conversion of the three Kassapa brothers and their 1000 disciples.

The Buddha is then leading his 1000 new monk disciples to Gaya Sise, a hill to show them the greatest miracle: The miracle of instruction, the possibility to teach others the path of awakening - by teaching them the Fire Sermon.In the "Fire Sermon" (Adittapariyaya Sutta) the Buddha is teaching 1000 former fire worshipping ascetics that our five senses, the mind and the sense objects are burning in the fire of desire, aversion and delusion. However, the Buddha is also teaching the way of practice how to extinguish the fire and he says if we understand one thing deeply we can make our mind uninflammable for desire, aversion and delusion, so that our mind can never be set on fire again and has realized complete peace. This one thing that we have to understand is wise attention and unwise attention (yoniso manasikara and ayoniso manasikara)...more about it in this Dhamma-Talk.

Magda's pitch-black, cursed armor attacked Callista in her club and threw Mercutio into a wall of liquor bottles behind one of the club's three bars. Is he hurt? Is he dying? Lincoln, Gary Satyr, and Bobby the Brahma bull minotaur lined up to protect Callista from the armor. The fight is about to get nasty.

Feb 4, 2000 Cessnock, Australia

Talk two from retreat at Southern Dharma, mindfulness and the four noble truths. 

This week on Musings from the Mount, we explore a topic much larger than current cultural conversations - the concept of ages, cycles, and our place within the vast movements of time itself. What started as research into political and social transitions expanded into something far more comprehensive: understanding how we exist within "wheels within wheels within wheels" of cosmic cycles. Drawing from Vedic traditions and esoteric wisdom, we examine the transition between Kali Yuga (the age of destruction and mental analysis) and Satya Yuga (the golden age of synthesis and heart-centered consciousness). We discuss how these vast cycles affect everything from individual consciousness to collective human experience, and why we're living at a particularly significant alignment point. The conversation moves from mind-boggling cosmic timescales - like the 311.04 trillion year cycle of Brahma - down to practical human experience. We explore how different types of time affect us: "TikTok time" (our quantitative, clock-based experience) versus "Kairos time" (the qualitative unfolding needed for true growth and completion). Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by rapid change or curious about humanity's larger evolutionary journey, this episode offers perspective on living consciously within time's rhythms. We discuss practical applications like honoring all four seasons in our projects, understanding passages between life phases, and learning to see and hear with the heart rather than just the mind. Meditation Mount and HeartLight Productions are pleased to present Musings from the Mount – a weekly podcast with host Joseph Carenza and guests in conversation exploring a range of topics drawn from the Ageless Wisdom teachings.

Now we find out what happens when one who is qualified by Brahma Bhutah. After all, we know from Gita (BG 18.54): 'brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām.' When one comes to this point of Self-Realization, one's no longer obligated to the senses in the way one was before. They're always demanding. Senses always feel entitled, "I demand that, and I deserve it! You give it to me now!" No more. There's no more obligation by the senses, and the incredible weight of the world comes off one's head that "I have no more debt in this world, no one to pay back because I have no more connection to the world." Brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā, one becomes happy. Na śocati na kāṅkṣati—no more lamentation or hankering and one has no more envy of living beings, because samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu. Burning envy is a problem in this world, Icchā-dveṣa-samutthena. Mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām -from that position, one is at the threshold of the door of bhakti, and one can enter in easily from that position, Krishna is saying there. So here's the perfect situation: the Kumaras are coming into Vaikuṇṭha, and then the verse of ultimate transformation, which indicates the superior quality of bhakti yoga and gives, by example, the very definition of what bhakti is, when Narayan comes near, we hear that "tasyāravinda-nayanasya padāravinda kiñjalka-miśra-tulasī-makaranda-vāyuḥ" (SB 3.15.43)...

When we become frustrated to the point of despair, there's an opening for us. And that opening for Arjuna in the Bhagavad-gītā was that he gave up. There's so much effort I put into trying to organize everything in the world so it'll come out straight, and it always comes out crooked. Prabhupāda mentions in one of his purports, in the Second Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, that observing our own frustration can be enlightening because it means that we're incompatible with the nature of the world. And that's because, as he says, 'We are a different category of energy altogether.' We are consciousness, and consciousness can't be measured in the same way that material elements can. We have the controlled studies scientifically to come out with a predictable outcome, or as close as possible, so that we can say that there are certain principles that work uniformly in the world, but with consciousness, you can't apply the same measurements. It's impossible to use the same tools to measure it. We're subtler than matter, and it really bugs us. Bugs me. I'm always trying to get things to work right. And then I remember that purport where Prabhupāda says, 'Just notice that the material nature is clumsy.' I may attribute it to myself, but that's because I want more; I want something more refined. So in despair, we can find teachable moments—that is, times in which we feel so out of place in this world that we can come to a point of questioning why. And oftentimes this is the turning point. It is possible to not take advantage of despair, not take advantage of frustration, and just continually try to fix it or try to forget about it and become distracted. Oftentimes we do that. I'll speak for myself. So one of the big admonitions given in the Brahma-sūtra, otherwise known as the Vedānta-sūtra, is the introductory statement that now you've got a chance to inquire, ask a big question. It says, athāto brahma jijñāsā—means now that you've come to the human form of life, you have an opportunity to ask, 'Why? Why am I suffering?' Also, other questions could be there, like, 'Why do I have to die? Why do—why am I faced with non-permanence when I definitely feel like I shouldn't be?' That's a conundrum and can lead to a sense of angst, existential angst. And it's a relief to know, isn't it, that the wisdom literature knows us? Of course, I could go back to Vyasadeva. He's the one who compiled it, and put that question first amongst all the others, a myriad of questions that can be asked or statements that can be made, principles that can be expounded. But then he says, you do it, you ask, you ask, Why am I suffering, and what's the purpose of life? The implication is that there's an answer waiting for you.It's forthcoming ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife

Advait Brahma Ka Gyan : Pujya Sant Shri Asharamji Bapu Satsang

Commanded by Ravana, Prahasta inquires of Hanuman as to who he was as also his motive in devastating the royal pleasance and killing the ogres. In reply Hanuman says that he destroyed the grove in order that he might be taken captive and dragged to the presence of Ravana, whom he was eager to see, and was compelled in self-defence to kill those who stood in his way. In the end he declares himself to be a messenger of Sri Rama and adds that, though protected against the missile presided over by Brahma, he submitted to its influence only in order to be able to see Ravana.Recitation: 00:00 - 03:18Translation: 03:21 - 09:07

In this episode, we explore the Granthis...energetic, physical, and emotional knots...and how unraveling them allows Prana to flow freely, guiding us toward self-realisation and liberation. We'll dive into the timeless wisdom of Brahma, Vishnu, and Rudra, reflecting on impermanence and the cyclical nature of life. At the heart of Yoga lies the union of polar energies...Shiva and Shakti. Shiva, pure consciousness, finds expression through Shakti, the creative force of form and action. Together, they represent the sacred dance of existence within us. Through asana, pranayama, and meditation, we harmonise these energies, awakening the five Shaktis; awareness, joy, intention, action, and wisdom.

Dispatched by Ravana, Indrajit, Ravana's eldest son, marches against Hanuman. On his shafts being rendered ineffective by Hanuman through his extreme agility, Indrajit takes him captive by discharging the Brahmastra, the unfailing missile presided over by Brahma (the creator). Even though capable of rendering it ineffective, Hanuman yields to its influence, eager as he was to meet Ravana, to whose presence he is led by his son.Recitation: 00:00 - 11:53Translation: 11:55 - 29:35

Class by Rev Dr. Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati on Book X of Srimad Bhagavatam introducing the story of Brahma stealing the cows and cowherd boya given at Kali Mandir Ramakrishna Ashram on 19 May 2025.

Today is Good Friday and since the Christ is a solar deity in a sense (the "sun" of God moving through the 12 disciples who are the 12 zodiac signs), I thought it would be nice to discuss the worship of the Sun of the Vedic and Tantrik context. In this class, which is part of our How To Do Tantrik Puja Series, we explore the sandhya vandana, the ancient practice of worshipping the sun with water at dawn/twilight and show how this ritual has been adapted into a Tantrik context. We discuss the significance of the sun as symbol for Brahman, the Unchanging Absolute of the Vedas, Existence-Consciousness-Bliss. We also make a few points about the Tantrik cult of the sun known as the Saurya Marga! It was a fun class! Thank you all for coming. Next, we'll go into more detail about the "arghya-dānam", the offering to the Sun and Mā willing, we'll cover the dhyāna-mantras and offering mantras for the Sun worship section of our ritual manual. oṁ namo vivasvate brahman bhāsvate viṣṇutejase। jagatsavitre śucaye savitre karmadāyine॥ eṣo'rghyaḥ oṁ hrīṁ haṁsaḥ mārtaṇḍabhairavāya prakāśaśaktisahitāya oṁ śrīsūryāya svāhā। "Salutations to Vivasvān, who is Brahman, the Absolute Reality, The Effulgent One (Consciousness) who is God's brilliance, the world-mover, the pure Sun who is the giver of all action we make you this offering, O Bhairava of the Setting Sun, you who are radiance (prakāśa) and self-reflection (vimarśa)! Salutations to Śrī Sūrya, the Sun!"oṁ raktāmbujāsanam aśeṣa-guṇaika-sindhuṁ bhānuṁ samasta-jagatām-adhipaṁ bhajāmi padma-dvayābhaya-varān dadhataṁ karābjaiḥ māṇikya-mauli-maruṇa-aṅga-ruciṁ trinetram OM seated on a red lotus, a single ocean of endless qualities the shining one, lord of all the world, I praise you, O three eyed one, Holding two lotuses and offering the gestures of fearlessness and boon-giving in your lotus like hands, Adorned with a ruby crown, your body glows red! oṁ javākusumasaṅkāśaṁ kāśyapeyaṁ mahādyutim dhvāntāriṁ sarvapāpaghnaṁ praṇato'smi divākaram OM deep red like a hibiscus glower, the descendent of Kāśyapa, supremely radiant, the enemy of darkness and the destroy of all sin, I bow before you, the maker of the day! oṁ namaḥ savitre jagadekacakṣuṣe jagatprasūtisthitināśahetave trayīmayāya triguṇātmakāriṇe viriñcinārāyaṇaśaṅkarātmane Salutations to Savitre, the single eye of the world, the non-dual witness of all things, the source of the world's creation, maintenaince and dissolution, the embodiment of the three states of waking, dreaming and deep sleep, the maker of the three qualities of the Self, the very essence of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva!You'll find a complete playlist of lectures on Tantra in both theory and practice here.Lectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrMJai Mā!Support the show

This episode we're unpacking all of the occult mysteries of Twin Peaks with a special focus on Twin Peaks: The Return and how it maps onto all of the other works discussed on the first 54 episodes of the Grey Lodge analysis!We'll look at the big question “Is Twin Peaks Occult?” which will look at Kubrick, Eyes Wide Shut and the Anima Mundi.Then we'll start zooming into some various concepts we saw throughout Twin Peaks: Space Time Disruptions and the idea of Saturnian time and the sacred spaces of Glastonbury Grove, Great Northern, Black Lake, the Red Room and of course: the Twin Peaks mountains as the twin pillars of Hermes and pillars of the Kabbalah Tree of Life!We'll have a major focus on Alchemy when we look at Dale Cooper's journey through the alchemical process and crossing the Abyss with evil forces of BOB, Judy and Baal! Another look at S3 reveals a dream state manifesting the entire realm to test Cooper's individuation and dissolution of the ego and we'll consider a Jungian Transcendent Function as part of the process of manifesting the symbols of the subconscious into the world of S3! We'll analyze “Listen to the sounds” as various theories on Cosmic Breath of Brahma and the 8th Sphere of Anthroposophy.Magick plays a key role in all of this so we'll consider Wizard of Oz similarities, electricity and the actual human emotion origin of garmonbozia BOB is feeding off!Entities and aliens manifesting in our world is explored with Thelema, Crowley, Parsons and sex magick.We wrap up with the final theories that explain what is going on with Twin Peaks: Savior mythology is displayed with Laura showing us she is the One, passion plays of overcoming darkness, goddess of the water, Sophia, Scarlet Woman of Babalon and the Divine Feminine. The alchemical journey of Dale Cooper attempting to become an Ascended Master like Major Briggs and Philip Jeffries. We then look into the cosmic battle of good and evil through sex magick, opposing polarities coming together and the Apocalyptic end of the world! We'll look at the forces of Eros and Thanatos, Ouroboros Samsara, James Shelby Downard's King Kill rituals, Judy's journey from start to finish and Crowley's description of Twin Peaks from Vision and the Voice!

It also features Chaplain Ryan from Westcare, who supports addiction recovery through a unique blend of Christian and Eastern spiritual practices. Together, their experiences paint a vivid picture of how spirituality thrives in a place known for excess.From meditation sessions to spiritual detoxing and the serene Brahma statue on the Strip, Spirituality in Sin City reveals a side of Vegas few would expect—a city where faith and transformation flourish in the most surprising ways.Produced and Presented by Rajeev Gupta.
