Welcome to Rhythm Divine! What if instead of Shri Krishna chanting the Bhagavad Gita to you in Sanskrit, He was rapping it to you in English? Would you resonate more with His message? A team from across North America, guided by Shri Vivek Gupta of Chinmaya Mission Niagara, has worked to make this a reality, translating the top 70 verses (10%) of the Bhagavad Gita into English, in the same meter as the original -- to bring the authentic message of the Divine into a modern rhythm for contemporary audiences. In this episode, we're tuning into the divine message from Chapters 13-15.Listen to previous Sections:Section 1 (Ch. 1-3) - The Clear Don't FearSection 2 (Ch. 4-6) -  Get Pure, Feel SecureSection 3 (Ch. 7-9) - Uncover Your Inner LoverSection 4 (Ch. 10-12) - It's All Me, Don't You See?Poets: Bhagavan Krishna, Shri Vivekji, and Sudarshan AtmavilasRappers: Sudarshan Atmavilas and Ananya ChakravartiSinger: Divya SundaramMridangam and Kanjira: Aryan RameshPiano: Divya SundaramBansuri: Chethan AnantProducers: Chethan Anant and Divya SundaramFor those on the journey of self-development, Chinmaya Mission Niagara provides a community forum to listen, reflect, and contemplate.

On this week's episode, Nathan and Gita engage in a savvy act of brand synergy by bringing on extremely vocal AI critic and friend of the show Ed Zitron to celebrate the release of Aftermath's new “Destroy AI” shirt, which we made in conjunction with Kim Hu, an incredible (human) artist, and are very proud of. We eventually get around to talking about the extra-shimmery AI bubble, but first: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Ed got into it recently, and ⅗ of Aftermath have been obsessed with it for years, so obviously we've got to ramble like a runaway train about the good (cool powers, clever fights, fun characters), the bad (a season that you can cut the entire middle out of), and the ugly (baby poop jokes) of the incredibly idiosyncratic anime. Then we discuss the societal rot AI continues to inspire, with kids cheating their way through school, normies having no idea what hallucinations are, and vulnerable people being talked into believing they're god. Still, Ed doesn't think this thing – or at least, the companies undergirding it – can last. The people in charge have no idea what human beings actually want or need, and that will come back to bite them eventually. Finally, we discuss Grand Theft Auto VI, which is a departure for the series in that it seems like a romance between two legitimately likable main characters. But can it sustain such an intimate dynamic in a game where you'll inevitably end up murdering 9,000 dudes? I guess we'll see!

What makes a work of art resonate? Is it the colors, the subject, the symbolism—or something more elusive? In this episode, curator, author, and coach Gita Joshi returns to talk about her new book Framing the Invisible: How We See and Understand Art. We explore how perception, personal experience, and context shape the way we engage with artwork—whether you're an artist, collector, or simply a curious viewer. We also talk about why visual literacy matters, how to talk about your work with confidence, and why there's no wrong way to see art.

Unlock "The Guna Matrix": A Bhagavad Gita Exploration of Knowledge, Action, and the Doer (18.19-18.28)Have you ever felt like you're operating under different influences? One moment you're clear and focused (sattva), the next driven by a restless energy (rajas), or perhaps feeling sluggish and confused (tamas)? The ancient text of the Bhagavad Gita provides a powerful framework for understanding these fluctuations through what we can call The Guna Matrix – the systematic classification of reality based on the three modes of material nature.In this episode, we delve into the profound wisdom of Bhagavad Gita verses 18.19 to 18.28, where Lord Krishna reveals how these modes define our knowledge, action and doer of action. He breaks down how jnana, karma and karta are influenced by sattva, rajas, and tamas. This isn't abstract philosophy; it's a practical tool for self-understanding and navigating the complexities of life.What You'll Discover:Mapping "The Guna Matrix": Explore the detailed classification system presented by Krishna, which provides a diagnostic tool for understanding our current state of consciousness.   The Threefold Nature of Experience: Gain clarity on how knowledge, action and doer of action manifest differently within each guna – sattva (goodness), rajas (passion), and tamas (ignorance). From the unity-seeing sattvic knowledge to the deluded tamasic doer, you'll see how these modes shape our experiences.   Ancient Wisdom, Modern Relevance: Learn how the insights from The Guna Matrix offer Bhagavad Gita practical wisdom for self-assessment, making conscious decisions, and cultivating environments that support spiritual growth.   Moving Beyond the Modes: Understand that recognizing The Guna Matrix is the first step towards transcending the gunas entirely, ultimately leading to liberation and pure spiritual consciousness.   Why Listen Now?In a world that often feels chaotic, understanding The Guna Matrix provides a clear lens through which to view ourselves and the world around us. By recognizing the influence of sattva, rajas, and tamas on our jnana, karma and karta, we can make intentional choices to elevate our consciousness and experience greater peace and purpose. This episode offers invaluable Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18 insights that can empower you to navigate life's challenges with greater awareness.Dive deeper into the profound wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and unlock the secrets of The Guna Matrix. Imagine living a life where you are less swayed by external forces and more aligned with your highest potential. Here's why understanding this ancient classification is crucial for anyone seeking authentic spiritual advancement.Join us as we explore these timeless teachings and their transformative power for a more conscious and fulfilling existence.krsnadaasa (Servant of Krishna)

In this episode we will continue our description of Gita on chapter 6 from Sloka 40-47. Please listen, Enjoy, share and let us know your thoughts via comments section

'Drive with care' is something Kṛṣṇa points out in the Bhagavad Gita. First he says, "yānti deva-vratā devān pitṝn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ bhūtāni yānti bhūtejyā yānti mad-yājino 'pi mām (BG 9.25)." Yanti means to go. He said, You can go any direction you want. In this universe, it's a matter of where you push your attention. Because where attention goes, energy flows. And he says you should drive with care, because, for instance, if you drive blindfolded, you're going to smash into somebody, and it's going to have a negative consequence on your life. So in the Gita, he talks about how you should be aware of how the world is comprised of three modes of material nature, and be careful where you associate yourself and how you interact with the world. Be very careful and deliberate where you go by getting knowledge about how to move towards a worthy destination and how to choose all the right circumstances so that you can keep moving in that direction. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Resentment into retirement Gita 2.6 Los Angeles by Exploring mindfulness, yoga and spirituality

Auschwitz et littérature à l'eau de rose font-ils bon ménage ? La Shoah est au cœur d'énormément d'écritures littéraires, du témoignage au livre d'histoire jusqu'à la fiction historique. Mais aujourd'hui, elle est aussi l'objet de livres très populaires, des best sellers comme La sage-femme d'Auschwitz, le Tatoueur d'Auschwitz, la Berceuse d'Auschwitz, L'Orpheline d'Auschwitz, La bibliothécaire d'Auschwitz... On dirait qu'on assiste à l'émergence d'un sous-genre de la littérature mélodramatique qui utiliserait la Shoah comme un moyen efficace pour émouvoir le lecteur à peu de frais. C'est le cas du Tatoueur d'Auschwitz, l'histoire vraie de Lale Sokolov et de son histoire d'amour avec Gita, romancée par Heather Morris, et publiée onze ans après la mort de Lale. Pour nous accompagner dans notre lecture, Torchon a fait appel à Alexandre Bande, enseignant, historien, spécialiste de la Shoah et l'auteur, notamment, de l'ouvrage d'histoire Auschwitz 1945, paru cette année aux éditions Passés composés. L'occasion de démêler le vrai du faux, et surtout de poser toute une réflexion éthique et critique sur la représentation de la Shoah dans les productions artistiques pour le grand public.

Scripture class by Rev. Dr. Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati on Devi Gita, chapter 2, verses 19-21, given to students of the Ramakrishna Seminary at Kali Mandir via Zoom on 16 April 2025.   अपरिच्छन्नताऽप्येवमत एव मता मम | तच्चज्ञानं नात्मधर्मो धर्मत्वे जडताऽत्मनः || १९ || aparicchannatā'pyevamata eva matā mama | taccajñānaṃ nātma-dharmo dharmatve jaḍatā'tmanaḥ || 19 || 19. "Therefore I am regarded truly as an undivided whole, and that consciousness is not an attribute of the Self, for then the Self would be like an object."   ज्ञानस्य जडशेषत्वं म दृष्टं न च सम्भवै | चिद्धर्मत्वं तथा नास्ति चितश्चिन्न हि विद्यते || २० || jñānasya jaḍaśeṣatvaṃ ma dṛṣṭaṃ na ca sambhavai | cid-dharma-tvaṃ tathā nāsti citaścinna hi vidyate || 20 || 20. "In consciousness no possible trace of the object state can be found. And so consciousness also has no attributes: consciousness is not a quality separable from consciousness itself."   तस्मादात्मज्ञानरूपः सुखरूपश्च सर्वदा | सत्यः पूर्णोऽप्यसङ्गश्च द्वैतज्जालविवर्जितः || २१ || tasmād-ātma-jñāna-rūpaḥ sukha-rūpaśca sarvadā | satyaḥ pūrṇo'pyasaṅgaśca dvaitajjālavivarjitaḥ || 21 || 21. "Therefore the Self in essence is consciousness, and bliss as well, always, it is the real and complete, beyond all relation, and free from the illusion of duality."

 Jealousy is a passion that causes pain.Jealousy happens if our darling loves another guy, then we feel worthless. Or if another body gets the promotion that we desire. Jealousy is a part of our ego. We should not support our jealousy. Why? If we support jealousy instead of punishing the jealousy, it will grow. The reason number one for homicide in Thailand is Jealousy!!!Because the Thai society is not punishing Jealousy.  For the Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam is Jealousy the worst sentiment! I was grown up in a big family, and we had to share. Imagine within 3 years my mother got two twins and one single. There was no option to be jealous because we got severe punishment for that. A big family, cannot afford jealousy.What can we do, to overcome Jealousy? We speak over our Jealousy to everybody, so that we lose the attachment of our Jealousy.We never want that other people are caring for our Jealousy. We do the opposite. I had a jealous girlfriend, and I was provoking her with her Jealousy again and again until she let go her Jealousy. For instance, she was phoning me, and asked where I am? I replied, I am in a Nightclub and have a fantastic time with the girls there. Or she was coming home I pretended that another girl is still there. It was always so funny!What to do, when we are getting jealous?First, we recognize our Jealousy.We know how bad this emotion will affect us and we don't want that other person to suffer under our jealousy. We breathe deeply in that jealousy and release that feeling when we exhale. (Do it until the jealousy is gone). Or we make Bioenergetic or EFT for Jealousy. If we can get help would be good. We apologize that we didn't trust.How I have handled my Jealousy?I was together with a girl, we went to a party, and she got in love with another guy. I felt humiliated and desperate. I repeated in my mind: I am a nobody, a nothing, (quote from Zen). I repeated this, again and again, until I felt it. Suddenly I went in a deep tremendous bliss and silent state. Jealousy was gone! Our Ego wants that we are something, that we are special. So more humble we are so less suffering and so less jealousy. My Video: How To Overcome Jealousy?  https://youtu.be/kqcKIeE8-wwMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/How-To-Overcome-Jealousy.mp3

Scripture class by Rev. Dr. Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati on Devi Gita, chapter 2, verse18, given to students of the Ramakrishna Seminary at Kali Mandir via Zoom on 9 April 2025. मा न भूवं हि भूयासमिति प्रेमात्मनि स्थितम् | सर्वस्याऽन्यस्य मिथ्यात्वादसङ्गत्वं स्फुटं मम || १८ || mā na bhūvaṃ hi bhūyāsamiti premātmani sthitam | sarvasyā'nyasya mithyātvādasaṅgatvaṃ sphuṭaṃ mama || 18 || 18. "The feeling "Let me not cease to be; let me exist forever," is rooted in love for the Self. Certainly there is no actual relations between me and all else, since all else is false."

A lot of translators actually skip chapter one of the Bhagavad Gita, but I've found it to be one of my favorite chapters. This chapter sets the stage for the conflict and highlights the struggle between emotions and intellect. Something we all struggle with throughout our lives. Make sure to go back a couple of episodes and listen to my overview of the Bhagavad Gita, and get excited because chapter one is only the beginning of this amazing series! Let's explore:

Bhaktimarga Swami, born in Chatham, Ontario, Canada, is also known as The Walking Monk for having trekked four times across Canada. Keeping with the spirit of pilgrimage, he also crossed the USA, Israel, Ireland, Guyana, Trinidad, Mauritius, and the Fiji Islands. Documentation of his Canadian walks is found in two films: The Longest Road, by the National Film Board of Canada, and Walking: The Lessons of the Road, by Michael Oesch. The Walking Monk's pilgrimages have also been covered by numerous international newspaper, radio, and television outlets. As a youth, Swami was a student of fine arts, but took to the life of a monk at age 20 in 1973. Although pursuing monastic ways, he maintains artistic expression through morality theatre which takes him around the globe as a playwright and director – an opportunity to work with talented youth in various communities.

Scripture class by Rev. Dr. Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati on Devi Gita, chapter 2, verses 15 through 17 given to students of the Ramakrishna Seminary at Kali Mandir via Zoom on 2 April 2025. जाग्रत्स्वप्नसुषुप्त्यादौ दृश्यस्य व्यभिचारतः | संविदो व्यभिचारश्च नाऽनुभूतोऽस्ति कर्हिछित् || १५ || jāgrat-svapna-suṣuptyādau dṛśyasya vyabhicārataḥ | saṃvido vyabhicāraśca nā'nubhūto'sti karhichit || 15 || 15. "The visible world appears and disappears constantly in the various states of waking, dream, and deep sleep." यदि तस्याऽप्यनुभवस्तर्ह्ययं येन साक्शिणा | अनुभूतः स एवाऽत्र शिष्टः संविद्वपुः पुरा || १६ || yadi tasyā'pyanubhavastarhyayaṃ yena sākśiṇā | anubhūtaḥ sa evā'tra śiṣṭaḥ saṃvidvapuḥ purā || 16 || 16. "Even if this consciousness itself became an object of perception, then the witness of that perception would abide as the real pure consciousness, as before." अत एव नित्यत्वं प्रोक्तं सछास्त्रकोविदैः | आनन्दरूपता चऽस्याः परप्रेमास्पदत्वतह् || १७ || ata eva nitya-tvaṃ proktaṃ sachāstra-kovidaiḥ | ānanda-rūpatā ca'syāḥ para-premāspadatvatah || 17 || 17. "And so those versed in religious treaties regarding the real declare consciousness to be eternal. Its nature is bliss, for it is the object of supreme love."

The Gita Series - A triune pilgrimage - 174 - Ch 12 - Slokas 20 & SummaryBhakti Yoga Summarised

In this episode, we chat about how everyone has their own kind of faith—peaceful, fiery, or a bit confused. The way we worship usually reflects our nature. And that faith shapes the kind of person we become. #bhagavadgita #gita #learninggita #krishna

Life's most painful moments often carry the seeds of our deepest transformation. In this powerful episode, author and scholar Simon Haas joins Wisdom of the Sages to illuminate how the Bhagavad Gita frames personal crisis—not as a detour from the spiritual path, but as an integral part of it. Known as Vishad Yoga, the yoga of crisis, this ancient wisdom reveals how despair can become a gateway to awakening. Through the lens of Arjuna's breakdown on the battlefield, Simon explains the four universal symptoms of a dark night of the soul: •⁠  ⁠Intense suffering tied to time—fear of the future, lamentation for the past, and confusion in the present •⁠  ⁠A powerful urge to withdraw from life or even give up •⁠  ⁠Confrontation with parts of ourselves we'd rather not see •⁠  ⁠A feeling of complete helplessness, where even our best tools no longer work Rather than avoiding these moments, Simon shows us how to recognize them as sacred rites of passage—times when the soul is being reshaped by divine design. Learn how to navigate the inner battlefield with the guidance of yoga philosophy, and why the teachings of Krishna to Arjuna offer a timeless blueprint for turning breakdown into breakthrough. Key Highlights: •⁠  ⁠Why suffering often precedes spiritual evolution •⁠  ⁠How to listen, surrender, and evolve when everything falls apart •⁠  ⁠Why the world's greatest spiritual texts were born from suffering •⁠  ⁠Practical tools from the Gita for navigating emotional crisis This episode is a profound companion for anyone going through grief, loss, disillusionment, or inner change. Let the Gita be your guide through the shadows.

Welcome to Rhythm Divine! What if instead of Shri Krishna chanting the Bhagavad Gita to you in Sanskrit, He was rapping it to you in English? Would you resonate more with His message? A team from across North America, guided by Shri Vivek Gupta of Chinmaya Mission Niagara, has worked to make this a reality, translating the top 70 verses (10%) of the Bhagavad Gita into English, in the same meter as the original -- to bring the authentic message of the Divine into a modern rhythm for contemporary audiences. In this episode, we're tuning into the divine message from Chapters 7-9.

As we wrap up Chapter 16, Krishna explains that demonic beings, driven by ego, hypocrisy, and arrogance, perform ostentatious rituals without sincerity, disregarding divine principles. He warns that those who reject the scriptures and act selfishly are doomed to ignorance and suffering, urging Arjuna to follow the guidance of the shastras to determine right and wrong, thereby attaining liberation.

I have been wanting to do a deep dive on the Bhagavad Gita for years. This rich text is often called the “jewel” of the Mahabharata and can be kind of intimidating to talk about. There is so much to cover. That's why this podcast will be the first in a series about the Bhagavad Gita. We'll start with exploring the profound themes of this amazing text and contrasting it with the Yoga Sutras. We'll talk about how the dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna serves as a guide for navigating our own moral dilemmas. Listen and learn:
