Rūpa Goswami says, "Just as young boys are naturally attracted to young girls, and young girls are naturally attracted to young boys"—if you unload a busload of teenagers in front of the Grand Canyon, they won't see the Grand Canyon because they're in samādhi. He said, "In the same way, may my mind be drawn to you." So when Prabhupāda said, "This is a feeling festival, the Ratha-yātrā," there is a story behind it, a love story. But it's THE love story; it's not any love story, it's THE love story. It's the ādi-rasa that gets perverted in this world as what's called āhlāda-tāpa-traya—the love affairs of this world that end in misery and strife and difficulty and complications. Of course, there are complications in the love story of the spiritual world, but they're all ānanda. And this Ratha-yātrā is so remarkable because what we have here is an apparently ordinary parade, but we're pulling the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and not just an image of God. And we say, "God is great, and we're all small and we're all servants," but there's this very specific story of Lord Kṛṣṇa meeting again the residents of Vṛndāvana, and the depth of their separation from him, which is never broken, because true love is never broken. Even Shakespeare says that. And that's all encapsulated within the Ratha-yātrā festival. So brilliant was Prabhupāda to bring it out to the world that both aspects are there: kevalānanda-kāṇḍa—the bliss of the chanting, the prasādam, the display of booths, and "Here's Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you'll get inner peace." But beyond that, there's the most esoteric of all stories that highly advanced paramahaṁsas relish again and again, and tell over and over again, which they go into the details of again and again, and relish it unlimitedly. So we're part of that legacy to bring Ratha-yātrā to the world, and along with the Ratha-yātrā, we may also distribute Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, and Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta. For anyone who has such an intervention in his or her life by seeing the Ratha-yātrā and then receiving transcendental literature, what to speak of prasādam and the association of devotees, can then take to the path of devotional service. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #rathyatra #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

In one sense, Śiva means the impersonal absolute Consciousness which is the very essence of the Self (as we pointed out in this video What Is "Shiva"? and also in The Secret Teaching of Bhairava) but in another sense, that which is the formless impersonal Godhead is also, by virtue of His vimarśa-śakti (i.e God's reflexive ability), the personal God who creates, maintains and destroys the universe and who can, at will, manifest as many different forms to suit different occasions and bhāvas (moods). In other words, as the Personal God (Saguna Brahman), Shiva can both be seen as Formless (Saguna Nirākara) and also as having Form (Saguna Sākara) and in the latter sense, as many different forms! In our pūjā-paddhati which we are studying as part of our How To Do Tantrik Ritual series, we encounter some of these different forms and their worship. We discuss some of these in this talk!Support the showLectures 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/U8zKP8yMrM

What happens when the claims of a 200-year-old American religion collide with the 2,000-year history of Orthodox Christianity? Ben Langlois (Orthodox Luigi) (https://x.com/orthodoxluigi) joins Jeremy Jeremiah and Cloud of Witnesses Radio for a fascinating exploration of Mormon theology and its fundamental differences from historic Christian faith.  If you are an LDS believer, please watch this video and confront the challenges it brings.    The conversation begins with what Ben Luigi calls "the most devastating argument against Mormonism" – the historical continuity of the church through the ages. If Mormonism's foundational claim about a "Great Apostasy" is true, then what happened to Christianity for 1,800 years? How do we explain Christ's promise that "the gates of hell shall not prevail against my church" and that He would be with His followers "until the end of the age"?  Jeremy and Ben dive deep into the theological inconsistencies within modern Mormon apologetics, particularly around their concept of the Godhead. While traditional Mormon teaching holds that God the Father was once a man who achieved divinity (part of an infinite regression of gods), many contemporary Mormon thinkers are adopting positions that sound increasingly like classical theism – creating major internal contradictions.  The discussion also examines historical influences on Joseph Smith's theology, including his involvement with Freemasonry just months before introducing temple ceremonies with striking Masonic similarities. Yet perhaps most fascinating are the unexpected bridges between Mormonism and Orthodox Christianity – from language about becoming "like God" (though with crucial distinctions) to concepts around the Father's role within the Trinity.  Whether you're a former Mormon seeking answers, a current member with questions, or simply curious about these theological traditions, this conversation offers compassionate clarity on what separates Mormon teaching from historic Christian faith while highlighting pathways toward deeper understanding between these communities. Find an Orthodox Church near you today.

Send us a textJohn 16:9 "of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 "of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 "of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. 12 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.           In the previous section we learned that Jesus was leaving and when He left He would send the Holy Spirit.  We found out that it would be to the disciples and our advantage that Jesus left because Jesus in His earthly body could only be in one place at a time, whereas the Holy Spirit can be with and live inside each believer at the same time.  Now we find out why it is to our advantage that Jesus leaves and sends the Holy Spirit.  First it is because He will convict the World of their sin, His righteousness, and the judgment that comes if they don't trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  He says that if He has judged the ruler of this world who is Satan, then He will certainly judge us if we don't trust in Him.  We also find out that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and He will guide us into all the truth we need to live this life (2Peter 1:3-4) and things that will happen in the future.  Remember the Holy Spirit is part of the Godhead, the three in one Trinity. He is not an it, but a He because He is God.  He has a mind, will, and emotions and is fully God just as the Father and Jesus are God.      Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?             John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? He can Save you if You ask Him based on His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins. Believe in Him for forgiveness of your sins today.               “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  -John 8:32           Our mission is to spread the gospel and to go to the least of these with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ; We reach out to those the World has forgotten.              hisloveministries.podbean.com #HLMSocial hisloveministries.nethttps://www.instagram.com/hisloveministries1/?hl=en His Love Ministries on Itunes Don't go for all the gusto you can get, go for all the God (Jesus Christ) you can get.

The God of the Bible  is the Most Relational Being in the Universe.   Bishop Robert Barron, once talked about the uniqueness of the Christian God. God is Love. And then he paraphrased St. Augustine's Treatise on the Holy Trinity. The Father is the Lover. The Son is the Beloved. And the Holy Spirit is the bond of Love between them.   The Father is the Lover. The Son is the Beloved. And the Holy Spirit is the bond of Love between them.   And Jesus says this in this Gospel. Everything I have is from the Father. The Father gives it to me. And the Holy Spirit is going to give it to you.   And St. Athanasius said that out of this relationship between the members of the Godhead, there is creativity. It is like a nuclear reaction. The interaction between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is by nature a creative force. ----- You can get the Belonging House Friday Email at https://mailchi.mp/44964233320d/friday-email-signup Christ John Otto writes at https://christjohnotto.substack.com You can support us at https://www.zeffy.com/donation-form/raise-up-an-army-of-artists https://buymeacoffee.com/christjohnotto You can view Belonging House Books here: https://bookshop.org/shop/belonginghouse

This is a ten week series on “Ten Doctrines of the Christian Faith”, most of them significantly identified in the Reformation. These are the non-negotiables of our faith! The Godhead Intro: The Jewish/Christian faith is Monotheistic - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, June 15, 2025

We don't have to be envious because Kṛṣṇa is so opulent that if you just have your own bhajan, it's enough, because Kṛṣṇa gives everything to everyone, all at once. You don't have to worry that somebody got more fame than you do, or they can sing better, or they have better association. We all have an eternal relationship with Kṛṣṇa, who's the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And there's no lack ever—that feeling of, "Oh, I didn't get it," or "Somebody else is better than me," or something. We don't have to have that; it's not necessary. We can just be sincere and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and take shelter of Kṛṣṇa and be very, very, very grateful. And I see the devotees who are most advanced: they're joyful when they see other devotees advancing, when they see others that have shining qualities, they become gleeful. And that's real life. There's no end to the happiness that we experience when we feel grateful for devotees. And we love devotees because they're loved by Kṛṣṇa. That's real life. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

Kṛṣṇa does admit in the Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta when He meets Gopā Kumāra, He says, "I made special arrangements for you, although I'm neutral with everybody. I made you take birth in Govardhan, and I came personally. That spiritual master that you met, that was Me. I came personally because I've been waiting too long." So there are ways that Kṛṣṇa tries to bring us back to Godhead, and especially when we take a step towards Him, then He takes license to pull us further. I love this whole section. There's a story I heard from H.H. Girirāja Mahārāja about how in Bombay (Mumbai), when he was the temple president, there was a young man who was helping with the translation for the Marāṭhī Gītā. And he would come to see Prabhupāda regularly to check the translation and ask him philosophical questions. I don't know if Prabhupāda spoke Marāṭhī, but his father would come with him because he his father wanted to get some darśana with Prabhupāda. And the father had a habit of smoking, and he was ashamed of it. So Prabhupāda knew that, and after a few times visiting and knowing that the man was ashamed of it, and Prabhupāda asked, 'Are you still smoking?'" And he said, "Yes," very ashamed. He said, "I need your special mercy to give this up." And Prabhupāda said, "Yes, you can get Kṛṣṇa's special mercy, but it means that you become so miserable that you'll be forced to give it up." Then he said, "Would you like special mercy?" And the man said, "No, no, no, no, I'll do it myself. I'll volunteer." So there's a little push-pull going on. You can do this—they used to say—you can do this the easy way or the hard way. If you want to do the easy way, just make up your mind: sarva-dharmān parityajya, "that's it, I surrender." ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 weekend we celebrate the festival of the Holy Trinity. This festival serves as the central point in the church year as we study the nature of the true God, and worship Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our hymn study this weekend is on TLH hymn 245 which is based primarily on John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." This passage is sometimes called "The Gospel in a nutshell" because it so concisely summaries what the Gospel is and what it does. This hymn could be given a similar moniker. It to simply summarizes the Gospel, God's love for the sinner, and the comfort and strength that we receive from God's precious Means of Grace. This hymn describes several important doctrines in a simple, but clear way. It speaks of both universal and personal justification in the opening verse. God "loved the world" and "the lost to save" describes universal justification. But the benefits are personally received by faith: "whoever would in Him believe" (v.1). It also points to Christ as the Savior and details both His incarnation "was made flesh" and His death as the means by which salvation was accomplished (v.2). The third verse rejects any idea of double predestination because God "would not have the sinner die," and the importance of the work of the Means of Grace "in the word" and also declaring that God "grants the highest good" in Baptism (v.4). Verse five speaks of the comfort that is received from God's grace through Word and Sacrament that enables us to face sickness, oppression and even death with confidence because of Jesus' work for us. God "has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works" Paul writes to Timothy (2 Timothy 1:9). Finally, we find all three persons of the Godhead described in these verses, from God the Father, to Jesus (God the Son), to the Holy Spirit. These three persons are praised in the final verse, which is known as a "doxology." How fitting that we give our Triune God praise for electing us to salvation, redeeming us through Christ's blood, and for bringing us to faith by the Holy Spirit.  Join us in our worship this weekend as we acknowledge the one true God, and as we praise Father, Son and Holy Spirit for the work of our salvation! 

Romans 1:3-4 — Is Jesus really God? Some say He became divine at his baptism while others suggest He became the Son of God at His resurrection. The deity of Jesus Christ has always been challenged, not by those who are saved, but by those who want to remain in their sin. In this sermon titled “Declared to Be the Son of God,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones argues that Jesus is and always was the unique Son of God from the beginning. In order to do the will of God the Father, His power and glory were hidden and yet He never became less than God. As the apostle Paul proclaimed in Romans 1:3–4, the resurrection of Jesus proves that He is God. Like a son of the king who is ceremonially announced as heir of the kingdom, Jesus is declared to be the sovereign over all creation and conqueror of death. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that the resurrection of Jesus Christ announces His incarnate deity. Raised in power and glory, Jesus is formally appointed as the Christ, the Lord of all creation. “Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see; Hail, the incarnate Deity!” Come and see Christ the Lord.

Send us a textThe Holy Spirit often receives the least attention among the persons of the Trinity, yet understanding His divine personhood is crucial for every believer. Far from being an impersonal force, energy, or "it," the Holy Spirit is a divine being with intellect, will, and emotions – co-equal with the Father and Son.This episode explores the unique role the Holy Spirit plays in our salvation. While the Father's role is election (choosing before the foundation of the world those who would be saved) and the Son's role is redemption (dying for those the Father elected), the Holy Spirit's role is regeneration – bringing about the new birth in believers. These distinct yet harmonious functions highlight the perfect unity and diversity within the Godhead.Perhaps most striking is Jesus' declaration that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the only unforgivable sin. This profound statement from Matthew 12:31-32 underscores the divine personhood of the Spirit. As Christ Himself said, one can speak against the Father or the Son and be forgiven, but speaking against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, "neither in this world, nor in the world to come."Modern Christianity has often trivialized the Holy Spirit, treating Him as a power to be harnessed rather than a divine person to be reverenced and obeyed. This episode challenges that misconception, reminding us that the Holy Spirit is not to be trifled with but honored as God equally with the Father and Son. As Zechariah 4:6 tells us, victories in God's kingdom come "not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit."Join this enlightening discussion that includes powerful insights from panel members and historical quotations from Charles Spurgeon on why a gospel without the Trinity is "a pyramid built upside down." Discover afresh the Holy Spirit's essential role in your spiritual life and how understanding His personhood transforms your relationship with the triune God.Support the show

Send us a textDo you truly know the Holy Spirit? Not as a mystical force or divine energy, but as the third person of the Godhead with intellect, will, and purpose?This transformative episode delves deep into the biblical evidence for the personhood of the Holy Spirit, challenging common misconceptions and illuminating a truth central to Christian faith. Through careful examination of Scripture, we discover how the Holy Spirit teaches, guides, convicts, and testifies—actions that can only be attributed to a person, not an impersonal force.The implications are profound. When we grasp that the Holy Spirit is not an "it" but a "He," our entire relationship with God shifts. We learn to recognize the distinct yet harmonious roles within the Trinity: the Father elects, the Son redeems, and the Holy Spirit regenerates and sanctifies. This divine collaboration works seamlessly to bring about our salvation.Many professing Christians inadvertently diminish the Holy Spirit to a divine energy to be harnessed, rather than a divine person to be known and honored. This misunderstanding doesn't just affect theological abstractions—it fundamentally alters who we worship. As one participant powerfully notes, "If you pull one of the persons out of the Godhead, you don't have God."Whether you're wrestling with questions about the Trinity or seeking a deeper relationship with all persons of the Godhead, this episode offers clarity, biblical insight, and a renewed appreciation for the magnificent completeness of God's triune nature. The Holy Spirit—teacher, comforter, guide—awaits your recognition not as a power to use, but as a divine person who searches the deep things of God and reveals them to those who seek.How might your spiritual journey change when you truly understand and relate to the Holy Spirit as Scripture reveals Him?Support the show

Who can forgive sins but God alone?”2 Corinthians 5:2121 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.John 1:11 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.John 19:31-34Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.Mark 15: 42-46Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44   Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. 45   So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46   Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.Isa

This is Bible study on the trinity.

1 Peter 2:7, "To you who believe, He is precious!" To the regenerate soul, Jesus Christ is the chief delight and treasure of the heart. The world may see no beauty in Him, but to the one born of God, Jesus is altogether lovely and worthy of all of our love, honor, and adoration. His preciousness lies first in His Person. In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and yet He took upon Himself true humanity. What mystery, that He who upholds all things by the word of His power, also humbled himself to become obedient to death--even death on a cross! Who can fathom such condescension? Who is like this glorious Mediator, who is both the Son of God and the Son of Man? Christ is also precious in His offices. As Prophet, He reveals the Father's will, teaching us the way of salvation with divine authority and tenderness. As Priest, He offered Himself as a sacrifice for our sins, and ever lives to intercede for us. As King, He rules over us with perfect righteousness and protects us from all our enemies. Each office meets our deepest need, and each one displays His surpassing worth. Further, He is precious in His benefits. Who but Jesus can give rest to the weary, peace to the troubled, righteousness to the guilty, and life to the dead? His blood cleanses from all sin. His Spirit renews the heart. His intercession secures both our perseverance and preservation. His promises are sure and sweet, and His presence is the joy of the believer's soul. All the infinite treasures of grace are found in Him! The more we grow in grace, the more Christ becomes our all. The soul cannot but long for Him, be satisfied with Him, and rejoice in Him above all things! This longing

In this heartfelt episode of "The Gospel on the Radio Talk Show," Pastor Jack King, your host for over two decades, shares a powerful observation: a profound spiritual hunger is awakening, particularly among younger generations. Many are "finding the church" and seeking a genuine relationship with God after years of indifference or distance. Pastor King transparently opens up about his own spiritual journey, from a childhood steeped in church to a pivotal time at age 14 when he began to question his beliefs and solidify his personal commitment to Christ. He candidly shares how this led to foundational life decisions, including a commitment to faithfulness before marriage, a story he elaborates on in his book, Dreams and Visions and Stories of Faith. He then breaks down the spiritual awakening process into three key stages: Wondering: A period of contemplation where individuals, perhaps previously indifferent or even rejecting God, begin to open their minds to spiritual possibilities due to life circumstances or divine nudges. Seeking: Moving beyond mere wondering, this stage involves a conscious decision to actively pursue God, much like Pastor King's own experience crying out to God under a stairwell at Bible college. Embracing the Holy Spirit: The crucial next step, where a seeker discovers the personal, intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit—the part of the Godhead that connects directly with our hearts, translates our groans, and delivers God's message back to us. Pastor King emphasizes that this relationship cleanses and convicts, leading to deeper spiritual growth. Throughout the episode, Pastor King underscores that the Christian walk is a continuous, often challenging, but ultimately joyful journey. He offers a warm invitation to Freedom Road Christian Ministry, a growing church with a new facility on Apalachee Parkway, where he hopes to mentor and influence those on their own seeking journey. He also highlights various radio programs and events from his ministry, including the popular Saturday Night Gospel Sing. Tune in for an encouraging message that speaks directly to the heart of the modern seeker. Episode #1228 ******* This is the radio program with the music removed.

Someone told me the other day that we've done over 150,000 sets of Bhāgavatams from our concerted efforts. You know, so many of these things happen when we're not looking because we're just looking down at what we're doing right now and what we're going to do next. But together, as a team, 150,000 sets of Bhāgavatams! Inconceivable six years ago. But somehow or other, by the combined energy of all of you working together and all of the all over the world devotees feeling the same impetus to do service for service, and believing in that magic of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, as Prabhupāda did when he was aboard the Jaladūta, when he said, "This will be the tip of the spear. This is what will create the revolution in the impious lives of the world's misdirected civilization." Here we are. It's the launch of Bhādra. We have full permission from Śrīla Prabhupāda to give our mind and attention in, as he puts it, "practical samādhi" of distributing Bhāgavatam sets. We have the encouragement from the Bhāgavatam itself, from Śrīla Śukadeva Goswami, who included the verse that says, "Do this! Give it to other people. You'll go back to Godhead in the process." Let everybody go back to Godhead. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

In episode two of "The Purpose of Marriage," Duane Sheriff discusses five common misconceptions about why people get married. In a survey, he discovered that people get married to be happy, to find their value or worth, to be complete, to get out of trouble, or simply as an experiment to see how it goes. These reasons go against God's intended design for marriage. No person, place, or thing can make you happy.Entering the institution of marriage in order to achieve happiness will actually ensure unhappiness. Instead, we are called to approach marriage from a biblical perspective and find our happiness, value, and completeness in Christ rather than in a spouse. Colossians 2:9-10 reminds us that in Jesus, all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily, and we are complete in Him. This spiritual foundation is crucial before entering into marriage. Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/the-purpose-of-marriage/

'Māyā-mṛgaṁ dayitayepsitam anvadhāvat' - Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu chases after the conditioned souls to embrace them and bring them back to Godhead. He'll take anybody back to God who wants to go. But Lord Nityānanda will even take those people who don't want to go. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Lord Nityānanda are the most merciful of all incarnations in the world. Even māyāvādīs with stone-like hearts, when they hear the names Nitāi and Gaura, begin to cry and dance in ecstasy. Let the whole world hear the sound of their Holy Names by going door to door, everywhere we go, every person we meet, give them an opportunity to take this train back home, back to Godhead. And already, if we listen very carefully, we can hear people who have been weeping in their apartments, lonely after hearing about Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu there's a sound vibration coming up.

Here's an excerpt from the Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Ādi-līlā, chapter four, in which Prabhupāda quotes from the Bhakti-sandarbha. This is the verdict of Jīva Gosvāmī in describing the process of chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa: "Chanting the holy name is the chief means of attaining love of Godhead. This chanting or devotional service does not depend on any paraphernalia, nor on one's having taken birth in a good family. By humility and meekness, one attracts the attention of Kṛṣṇa. That is the verdict of all the Vedas. Therefore, if one becomes very humble and meek, he can easily attain the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa in this age of Kali. This is the fulfillment of all great sacrifices, penances, and austerities, because when one achieves ecstatic love of Godhead, he attains the complete perfection of life. Therefore, whatever one does in executing devotional service must be accompanied by the chanting of the holy name of the Lord, the chanting of the holy name of Kṛṣṇa: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare, Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare.' ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

In the tenth Canto of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, we find a verse left for all of us here today by Śukadeva Goswāmī. All of those who feel left behind, who feel hopeless in life, who are striving for the spiritual world, find that it's like reaching for the moon. He wrote: 'Jayanti jana-nivāso devakī-janma-vādo yadu-vara-pariṣat svair dorbhir asyann adharmam sthira-cara-vṛjina-ghnaḥ su-smita-śrī-mukhena vraja-pura-vanitānāṁ vardhayan kāma-devam (SB 10.90.48).' The verse starts with the word Jayati, which means victory, but it is written in the present tense because Śukadeva understood that people after Krishna's disappearance would feel separation from Him and wonder, "Why couldn't His pastimes have gone on even to the present day?" And here he's saying they are going on right now for us, right here in this room. 'Jayanti jana-nivāso devakī-janma-vādo' - He's the Lord who is jayanti jana-nivāsaḥ. He walks among us. He gives His association to all human beings, and for those who enter deeply within the sādhana given to us by Śrīla Rūpa Goswāmī, He is perfectly present in our lives. We need never fear separation from Him by continuing the transcendental vibration in our lives, and the transcendental vibration is the clarion call for everyone to go back home, back to Godhead. Anyone who wants to go back to Godhead, say, "Hare Krishna!" We're going to be singing the Hare Krishna mahā-mantra. This is the most famous song in the world. It's not only sweeping the nation here, but all over the world: Russia, Australia, China, Mexico, Japan. In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam it is mentioned that in the spiritual world, every devotee of Krishna has a unique rāga or a melody for which he or she sings to Krishna from his or her heart. Then it goes on to say that actually, every species of life has a unique rāga to express their deep yearning for Krishna. This next rāga is called Haṃsadhvani, and it is the rāga of the swan. The gracefulness, the aesthetic beauty of the spiritual world, once captured in one's mind, it never leaves. And the song brings us to the swan swimming back to its home. So let's all take Haṃsadhvani into our heart and go back home, back to Godhead. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

*Pastor David Greene*

Operation Disclosure: The Reckoning & Rainetta's Final Work

A very short shout-out to the third person of the Godhead.

Friday, 23 May 2025   “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Matthew 10:16   “You behold! I, I send you as sheep in wolves' midst. You become, therefore, sagacious as the serpents and simple as the doves” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told the apostles what it would be like on judgment day for the cities that rejected their message. He now continues His words to them, saying, “You behold! I, I send you as sheep in wolves' midst.”   The pronoun is emphatic, “I, I send you.” Jesus is personally sending them, knowing in advance what they will face. The emphasis looks back on everything He had already faced, knowing that they too would receive like treatment. Thus, they shouldn't feel that what they were to experience was unique or unknown to Him.   As for the metaphors, they are self-explanatory to anyone who knows the difference between wolves and sheep. This wording was known to Israel from their writings, such as when the Lord, through Ezekiel, spoke of the leaders of Israel in their treatment of the people –   “Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy people, and to get dishonest gain.” Ezekiel 22:27   This and other instances from Scripture told them that they should expect ill-treatment. They were like lambs. Their message was harmless and should be taken as inoffensive. And yet, when it was heard, they would face vile accusations, possibly be attacked, and so forth. Because this was expected, He next says, “You become, therefore, sagacious as the serpents.”   From the earliest account of man on earth, the serpent is portrayed as a cunning beast. It is the serpent that caused Adam to fall through his deceptive tongue. Barnes notes that the Egyptians used the serpent in their hieroglyphics as a symbol of wisdom. Thus, this was something understood beyond the borders of Israel as a common theme.   Jesus is telling them to be cunning like serpents, not in a negative way, but in the sense that they should be aware of the attacks that would come against them and respond accordingly in a sagacious manner to the situation at hand. Further, He says, “and simple as the doves.”   The adjective translated as simple, akeraios, is most literally translated as unmixed, being derived from the negative particle a and the verb kerannumi, to mix. Saying unmixed, however, may leave the reader not sure what is being referred to.   However, the word simple is from the Latin word simplus which then carried through old French. It signifies a medicine made from one constituent. Thus, it is unmixed or pure. This meaning continues in intent today.   As for the dove, they are just that, pure, untainted by other constituents that might corrupt them. They simply act as doves regardless of the world around them being fraught with terror or easy manipulation. In other words, they don't join in the terrorizing, nor do they cunningly try to manipulate their surroundings to obtain what they need.   As such, one can see the beauty of the symbolism of the dove representing the Holy Spirit. He meets His purpose within the Godhead without any form of terror or manipulation. Rather, He inspires, helps, edifies, and leads according to the love and wisdom of God, reassuring and comforting those who are His.   Life application: Today, there are nations that have carried the gospel message for eons. The nation itself has been identified with the Christian faith. There are those who are within such nations who are trying to retain their country within that same context. Therefore, they go out and preach the gospel in the streets, hand out tracts, appeal to the masses concerning what is right, etc.   It is true that some of these people are annoying to the point that nobody wants to listen to them. Some of them stand on street corners and condemn everybody to hell. That is not a very good selling point concerning one's message, but they do it anyway. Despite people like that, there are those who truly care about sharing the grace of God in Christ Jesus, they pass on a message that is inoffensive, pure, harmless, and good. And yet, there are wolves out there that literally attack them, steal their Bibles, publicly tear them apart, stomp on them, etc.   Some will come up and shout in the faces of these people as if what they are doing is harmful. And yet, it is the most loving thing they could do. They just want people to know Jesus. Some are converted, making their efforts worthwhile. Some will never be converted and continue to rage against Jesus. They must face the same judgment Jesus spoke of in the last verse. It will be more sufferable for Sodom and Gomorrah than for them on that day.   Despite this, it is right that we present the gospel, even if it receives serious animosity and blowback from those we speak to. Our words will serve their purpose if they are rightly spoken in accord with the words of Scripture. So be bold, cunning, and simple all at the same time. But be sure to speak!   Lord God, help us to be people of powerful pronouncement as we walk in Your presence. May our words convey to others the knowledge we possess concerning the riches and glory of the gospel so that others can be saved. Without us, who will speak? Help us to do so! Amen.

05.18.2025 | Let's Get Clear on the Holy Spirit | Part 2: The Transforming Power of the Holy Spirit | Pastor Jeff Wickwire In his sermon, Pastor Jeff Wickwire emphasizes the importance of understanding the Holy Spirit as a person and a part of the Godhead, rather than a mere force or mist. He explains the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, describing the process of regeneration as an instantaneous act of becoming a new creation in Christ, and renewal as a lifelong journey of spiritual growth. Pastor Jeff illustrates how this renewal process involves a change in thought patterns and behaviors through the daily engagement with Scripture and the presence of God. He encourages the congregation to recognize the necessity of the Holy Spirit in their Christian journey, highlighting that true transformation comes from being filled and guided by Him.

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Kṛṣṇa Himself, and He also comes as the ācārya. He's both devotee and Kṛṣṇa at the same time. So there's a double benefit. He's teaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness as a devotee, but He's also Kṛṣṇa. If one dedicates him or herself to the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya, which means to—in service, what it means to dedicate oneself to the lotus feet, it means to become a servant and think, 'How can I do something to assist the Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu? What is His desire and how can I help Him?' And if one does this, then the person will know the true essence of devotional service. Then He goes on to say that the heart of anyone who gives submissive aural reception to the pleasing and sweet pastimes of Lord Caitanya immediately becomes cleansed of all material contamination— 'hṛdoya nirmala.' This contamination in the heart is completely cleansed if one gets on a regular schedule of hearing about Kṛṣṇa and about Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Then He says, 'Anyone who simply chants the name of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya will immediately develop love of God.' So try 'Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya.' As I was doing āratik in my home this morning, and I offer the incense, and then I have to walk out on the porch to plant the incense, and then when I offer the lamp, I had to walk in the other room to find Nirakula to let her touch the lamp. And all the time I was still chanting the 'Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Prabhu Nityānanda' mantra. And I was remembering that the first time I came in contact with the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness Movement, I got a magazine that had a picture of Lord Caitanya on the front, and then it had the mantra of 'Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Prabhu Nityānanda.' Also there was an article where Prabhupāda said we are following in the footsteps of Lord Caitanya. And I became fascinated by the form of Lord Caitanya. I didn't know exactly who He was, but I started reading. I always felt that whenever, after I joined the temple, we'd chant the 'Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya' mantra, or I'd hear somebody else chant it, there was special mercy coming from that mantra. And then I confirmed it. It's in all the śāstra saying that the name of Caitanya Mahāprabhu is especially merciful. The name of Kṛṣṇa and all the names of God are known to be fully potent, but the name of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, says Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, is especially merciful because Caitanya Mahāprabhu doesn't consider any offenses when you chant.So if you chant the name of Sri. Chaitanya, then you'll immediately develop love of Godhead. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

The purpose of the creation, ultimately, is to give the living entities an opportunity to come out of this illusion. And Saṅkarṣaṇa, who is not intimately, but somehow indirectly—connected with the creation of the material world, as mentioned in the Fifth Canto of the Bhāgavatam, before He starts His destruction in the material world through the agency of Rudra, He becomes a little annoyed because He's given unlimited chances for the jīvas in the material world to come back to their senses and come back to Him, and then they say, 'Oh no, I'm not interested.' And it's in that sense of annoyance that the Rudras pop from His forehead and start their dance of destruction and burn down the material world. And then it starts over again, giving an opportunity for all living entities to come back to Godhead. So we can take from this many things. Two general things are that the material world is perfectly accommodating, and if we just adjust ourselves to Kṛṣṇa's purpose, then just as every living being is being fully accommodated to try to enjoy the material world in exactly the way that that living entity wants to be accommodated, we will be fully accommodated in the spiritual world, even if our desire is minuscule. The Lord is waiting for that tiny desire, even of the living entity, to say, 'No, I would like to have You instead.' If He's accommodated every living being to enjoy the material world in exactly the way he or she wants to, makes sense that since His main purpose is for us to come back to Him, that He would also accommodate our desire for devotional service. And the other lesson is that.. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

One other thought about the ocean comes from the Twelfth Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (SB 12.13.2) When the Supreme Personality of Godhead appeared as Lord Kūrma, a tortoise, His back was scratched by the sharp-edged stones lying on massive, whirling Mount Mandara, and this scratching made the Lord sleepy. May you all be protected by the winds caused by the Lord's breathing in this sleepy condition. Ever since that time, even up to the present day, the ocean tides have imitated the Lord's inhalation and exhalation by piously coming in and going out.
