We're too identified with our negative emotions. From our side, it appears we lose contact with the grace. But, that's not the case. We just lose awareness of the presence. Maharaj-ji doesn't go, doesn't come, doesn't leave us. He never lets go. Once he takes your hand, he never lets go." – Krishna DasThis time on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das responds to questions about:Hanuman's favorite food and providing offerings from the heartThe ever-presence of Maharaj-ji and his grace, even when we are too busy to noticeThe struggle to connect with others and find a community Loving everyone, regardless of their actions or if we like/dislike themA short retelling of the story of Hanuman's birth Working through addictions and the avoidance of painA memory of an almost-marriage in India, and how Maharaj-ji always saw right through Krishna Das' egoHow it took Krishna Das 21 years to begin singing to Maharaj-ji as his primary practice"The big community is human beings, that's our real community. Our work is to allow our hearts to open to all beings, even the ones we don't like, even the ones that are doing terrible things. It's not our job to judge—it's our job to love everyone as best we can, and that's hard enough." – Krishna DasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“By this symbol, O best of the monkeys, the daughter of Janaka will be able, without any fear, to properly understand that you have come from My presence.” (Lord Rama speaking to Hanuman, Valmiki Ramayana, Kishkindha Kand, 44.13)

Returning to Madhuvana as commanded by Sugriva, and craving the forgiveness of Angada, Dadhimukha submits to the latter that he is urgently summoned by Sugriva. Set out in the company of Hanuman and others, and approaching Sugriva, Prince Angada apprises Sri Rama, after saluting him, of the discovery of Sita and other events.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:27Translation: 07:31 - 17:21

Hanuman tells Sri Rama, how Sita expressed her doubt in the first instance about a monkey being able to leap across a vast sea and how her doubt was resolved by him.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:10Translation: 05:13 - 12:00*** END OF SUNDARAKANDA ***

Pressing to his bosom the jewel for the head sent by Sita and piteously wailing in many ways, Sri Rama urges Hanuman to repeat the message of Sita.Recitation: 00:00 - 02:47Translation: 02:51 - 07:06

Asked by Sri Rama to tell him the news about Sita, Hanuman apprises Sri Rama of her presence at the foot of a Shimshapa tree in the midst of ogresses and delivers her message after narrating the incidents related by her as a token.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:52Translation: 04:56 - 11:38

Hanuman reproduces at length the incident connected with a crow that took place during the sojourn of Sita with Sri Rama at Chitrakoota, related by her by way of a token, and further describes her piteous lament and the way in which she was comforted by Hanuman.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:24Translation: 07:27 - 17:43

Having entered Madhuvana and partaken of honey, as permitted by Hanuman, and singing and dancing like drunken people, the monkeys were forbidden by those guarding the grove and they belaboured the latter. Repulsed by them, the guards reported the matter to their leader, Dadhimukha, who appeared on the scene with his entourage and on remonstrating with the monkeys was thrashed by Angada, who dashed him to the ground. The guards headed by Dadhimukha then move en masse to Kishkindha to report the matter to Sugriva and bow down at the latter's feet.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:25Translation: 06:30 - 15:00

Picturing to his fellow monkeys the said plight of Sita, and feeling that it behoved them all to see Sri Rama only after recovering Sita from Lanka, recounting the past heroic exploits of Jambavan and others, Hanuman incites them all to have recourse to the arbitrament of war.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:33Translation: 05:37 - 13:41

Enquired by Jambavan, seated along with the monkey hordes, Hanuman narrates in extenso how he saw Mount Mainaka in the course of his journey to Lanka, reached Lanka, beheld Janaka's daughter and returned to Mount Mahendra.Recitation: 00:00 - 27:08Translation: 27:11 - 01:00:53

Having leapt from the coast of Lanka and touching the Mainaka mountain, which he came across in the way, advancing further, Hanuman roars at the top of his voice at the sight of the Mahendra mountain in order to bring joy to the monkeys awaiting his return there. Jambavan tells the monkeys, who got up impetuously on hearing the roar, that Hanuman has returned successful from his expedition as was evident from his jubilant roar. Having greeted Jambavan and others on alighting on the summit of the Mahendra mountain, Hanuman narrates to them in a nutshell the story of his discovery of Sita. Applauding Hanuman, Prince Angada, who was eager to hear the story, sits down to do so on an extensive flat rock along with all. Recitation: 00:00 - 08:53Translation: 08:55 - 20:11

Hanuman sees Sita once more and bidding adieu to her, takes a leap across the sea.Recitation: 00:00 - 08:33Translation: 08:37 - 19:25

Lecture by Swami Tyagananda, given on April 6, 2025, at the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society, Boston, MA

Making up his mind to set fire to the city of Lanka, which was the only work left for him to do, and coming out into the open, Hanuman burns the entire city barring the abode of Vibhishana. Astonished to see the city burning, the gods and Gandharvas (celestial musicians) are filled with supreme joy.Recitation: 00:00 - 09:40Translation: 09:43 - 22:10

Wrapping up the tail of Hanuman in rags and soaking it in oil, and then lighting it up, the ogres, as urged by Ravana, take Hanuman round the city to the accompaniment of beats of drums. Hearing this news from the lips of the ogresses, Sita prays to the god of fire on oath to see that Hanuman remains unscathed. Climbing up the gate and shedding the fire by attenuating his body, and then resuming vast proportions and seizing the iron bar of the gate, Hanuman kills with it the ogres guarding the gate.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:53Translation: 07:56 - 18:14

Provoked by the harsh words of Hanuman, Ravana orders him to be put to death. Vibhishana, however, exhorts the latter to desist from this dastardly act, pointing out that the killing of an envoy is forbidden by the Shastras.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:53Translation: 05:57 - 13:52

Narrating the story of Sri Rama from the latter's entry into the forest, to his own sight of Sita being borne away by Ravana through the air over the Rshyamuka mountain, and celebrating the glory of Sri Rama, Hanuman points out to Ravana that if he longed to survive he should restore Sita to Sri Rama and that he should be prepared for the worst if, on the other hand, he chooses not to part with her.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:52Translation: 07:56 - 19:03

Seeing the whole of Lanka reduced to ashes and presuming Sita too to have shared its lot, Hanuman begins to reproach himself and gets overwhelmed with grief. In the meantime, he hears of her safety from the lips of Siddhas, Chaaranas (celestial bards) and others and feels comforted.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:03Translation: 06:06 - 15:12

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

Wonderstruck to behold the splendour and glory of Ravana, Hanuman believes that he could even rule over heaven but for his gross unrighteousness which dragged him down.Recitation: 00:00 - 03:35Translation: 03:39 - 08:22

India and Pakistan flirt with war (oh no!) while Western Canadian cope dictates they blame their own Canadian kin for their problems as Indians colonize Alberta faster than every other province but Ontario. They're actually giving out a Hanuman monkey statue trophy at the conclusion of the NHL playoffs this year and retiring the Stanley Cup due to diversity and inclusion requirements.

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

Prince Aksha, son of Ravana, who came to meet Hanuman in combat, is killed.Recitation: 00:00 - 09:01Translation: 09:05 - 22:02

Having killed five more generals sent by Ravana, Hanuman returns again to the archway of the Ashoka grove.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:03Translation: 07:04 - 16:06

Invoking Strength and Courage from the Spirit of Hanuman!

Having disposed of the Kinkaras sent by Ravana and making up his mind to demolish the sanctuary sacred to the guardian deity of ogres, Hanuman climbs it up and, killing the guards posted there, exhibits his prowess by uttering the name of Sri Rama in a thundering voice. Nay, uprooting a pillar of the sanctuary, he brandishes and burns the sanctuary with the fire produced thereby.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:25Translation: 04:28 - 10:21

Perceiving the destruction of the royal pleasance at the hands of Hanuman, the ogresses keeping watch over Sita asked her who he was. On Sita's pleading her ignorance in the matter, some of them hurriedly seek the presence of Ravana and report the matter to him. Hanuman makes short work of a company of ogres known by the name of Kinkaras, despatched by Ravana. Thereupon Ravana sends Prahasta's son to punish the intruder.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:31Translation: 07:33 - 16:42

Dispatched by Ravana to capture Hanuman, Jambumali is killed in battle by the former.Recitation: 00: 00 - 03:26Translation: 03:31 - 08:20

Having made short work of the seven sons of Ravana's chief minister too, Hanuman climbs up the archway again and takes up his position there.Recitation: 00:00 - 03:09Translation: 03: 14 - 07:20

Have you ever wondered whether the modern narrative of empowerment is missing something essential? We live in a world where empowerment is often defined as the independent freedom to do as we please. But in this thought-provoking episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore a radically different idea—drawn from the bhakti-yoga tradition—that deep commitment can be a source of supernatural strength. Sītā, whose unwavering integrity and loyalty ultimately crushed the might of Ravana, is more than a mythological figure—she's a spiritual archetype. This episode challenges the assumption that power comes from autonomy, and offers a vision of strength rooted in devotion, integrity, and focus. Whether it's to a person, a principle, or the Divine, commitment—according to the Bhakti tradition—isn't weakness. It's where real empowerment begins. Key Highlights: * The Bhagavatam doesn't just expose Ravana—it holds up a mirror to our modern cravings * Why unexamined desire can lead to destruction—even when you “have it all” * “Attractive, but not what I need”—the mantra that builds inner strength * The supernatural force of Sītā's chastity and the deeper meaning of loyalty * A masculine path to power that isn't about suppression, but sacred focus * Speaking truth to power—without hostility or ego * Raghu & Kaustubha imagine what it would it be like seeing Hanuman flying in the first class cabin

The Ramayana doesn't just tell an ancient story—it reveals eternal truths. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore one of the most profound contrasts in the epic: how Ravana and Hanuman each approach Sita. What unfolds is not just mythological drama—it's a powerful spiritual teaching. Sita is the personification of good fortune herself. In bhakti wisdom, how we approach her—whether with reverence and devotion or with a mood of exploitation—determines the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness that flows though our lives. This isn't just about Sita and Ravana. It's about all of us and the world around us.  And yes, the Pope gets a shout-out. So do monkeys with torches. Key Highlights: * Ravana, Hanuman, and the spiritual do's and don'ts of divine energy * Why auspiciousness isn't random—it's relational * The Pope, Easter, and holy humility * Monkeys vs. modern weapons: Why the jungle army wins * The arc of the moral universe is long—but don't worry, zoom out * Why Sita's curse beat Ravana's black magic

Asking Hanuman, who was ready to depart, to remind Sri Rama of his having once painted a decorative mark on her cheek with red realgar, and also of how he threw a reed at the crow assailing her, destroying his right eye thereby, as further tokens of Hanuman having met her, and urging him to apprise Sri Rama of her wretched plight, Sita grants him leave to depart with her blessings.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:28Translation: 04:32 - 10:40

Accounting his purpose not fully accomplished till he had ascertained the strength of his ogres, even though he had received the message of Sita, and making up his mind to lay waste the royal pleasure-garden as a means ascertaining the strength of the enemy, Hanuman proceeds to do it.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:25Translation: 04:31 - 10:59

Sita asks Hanuman, when the latter is about to depart with the jewel for her head, to apprise Sri rama and Lakshmana of her own welfare and urge them to rescue her. When Sita expresses her misgivings about the capacity of the heroes on Sri Rama's side to cross the sea. Hanuman expatiates on the might of the monkey heroes and assures her of their abilit yto cross it, and in the end consoles her by promising to bring Sri rama and Lakshmana on his back across the sea in any case.Recitation: 00:00 - 09:03Translation:09:06 - 20:54

Asked by Hanuman for a token, Sita narrates the episode of a crow, which occurred on the Chitrakuta mountain, and asks Hanuman to repeat the story to Sri Rama by way of a token. She further sends her greetings to both Sri Rama and Lakshmana, conveys her enquiry after their welfare and communicates to them her resolve to survive only for a month after the expiry of the time-limit prescribed by Ravana; and last of all, she hands over to him, her jewel for the head as a token.Recitation: 00:00 - 11:50Translation: 11:53 - 29:56

Sita, who was distressed to hear of Sri Rama's excessive grief caused by separation from her, implores Hanuman to bring Sri Rama at once to her. Hanuman, who could not bear to see Sita's sad plight, offers to carry her on his back to the presence of Sri Rama and girds up his loins to do so. In order to inspire confidence in Sita, who doubts his capacity to do it looking to his small size, Hanuman assumes a gigantic form. Sita, however, declines to go with him and urges Hanuman to bring Sri Rama to her.Recitation: 00:00 - 11:37Translation: 11:40 - 26:46

Hanuman delivers Sri Rama's signet ring to Sita in order to strengthen her confidence in him. Applauding Hanuman, Sita, who was rejoiced to receive the token, inquires about the health of Sri Rama and others. In order to appease the lady, who felt indignant at the thought that Sri Rama did not care to come to her rescue so far, which led her to suspect that he had ceased to love her, Hanuman attributes his non-appearance to his ignorance about her whereabouts. Describing Sri Rama's desolation in order to betoken his excessive love for her, he consoles her with the assurance that Sri Rama is sparing no pains to rescue her from her confinement.Recitation: 00:00 - 08:33Translation: 08:38 - 20:40

Questioned by Sita, who was anxious to ascertain the bonafides of the monkey, Hanuman, after cataloguing the marks on the person of Sri Rama and Lakshmana, narrates his own life-story from his birth onwards including his role as a minister of Sugriva, and ending with his seeing of Sita.Recitation: 00:00 - 15:12Translation: 15:17 - 36:55

Inferring from the suitable replies to his query received from Sita and the trust reposed in him by the latter, Hanuman reveals to her the role of an envoy allotted to him by Sri Rama and repeats the enquiries made by the two brothers about her welfare. Taking him to be Ravana disguised as a monkey, Sita , on the other hand reproaches him when the latter approaches her in order to bow down at her feet. In order to allay her fears, Hanuman for his part discloses to her his reality as a minister of Sugriva as well as requests her to give credence to his words.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:59Translation: 07:04 - 16:42

Keen to hear of Sita's identity from her own lips, even though he had identified her, Hanuman inquires of her whether she was a goddess or anyone else and asks her to disclose her identity in case she was Sita. In reply to this query Sita narrates to him her whole life-story ending with her abduction by Ravana nd tells him how Ravana was going to kill her two months later, and how in this event of her not being delivered from his clutches before that, she has resolved to end her life by herself.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:37Translation: 05:43 - 13:22

Send us a textWhat's up everybody! Welcome back to the Tat2d Preacher Podcast. This is episode number 73 where we dive deep into an intriguing topic – the connection between ancient Nephilim gods and a newly erected 90-foot statue at a Hindu temple in Sugarland, Texas. I share my thoughts on the spiritual implications of honoring such statues, how they may serve as portals for demonic influence, and why this is a big deal. I also explore the origins and mythology surrounding the Hindu god Hanuman and connect the dots to biblical events like the Tower of Babel and Genesis 6.

This week we revisit an episode from a previous season. In The Philosophy of Now sanctuary, we believe in revisiting conversations that can help us reflect and think more deeply when we take another look. Sometimes revisiting ourselves or the conversation itself can help us grow for our present moment. This Rama Navmi, birth celebration and holiday of Lord Rama, and Hanuman Jayanti, Lord Hanuman, seemed the right time for to revisit this deep conversation. Hanuman Dass, the founder of Go Dharmic, a nonprofit helping the underrepresented and underserved communities across the globe on the basis of devotion and bhakti, speaks to us about the beauty of service. He dissects the Bhagavad Gita for us and how to bring Indian philosophy and Hinduism into a practical level. How can our jobs and mundane lives be spiritualized? How can we bring spirituality and bhakti into our daily practices?Dass has also worked alongside Virat Kohli and Krishna Das! Check out the conversation again - and reflect with us. Hosted on Acast.

Every life holds a hidden epic. In this stirring episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha unlock the timeless teachings of the Ramayana and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam to reveal how Lord Ram's divine story is far more than mythology—it's a living guide for our own transformation. Alongside the insights of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey, the sages explore what it truly means to conquer inner demons and rise to the occasion of your own sacred adventure. But this episode goes deeper than just inspiration. It offers a bold clarification of what līlā truly is—and what it's not. It's a common spiritual misstep to view the pain, confusion, and trauma of material life as brahman engaged in “divine play,” mistaking our suffering for the līlā of the Supreme. Raghunath and Kaustubha draw a clear line: true līlā is not the fractured experience of conditioned life, but the ecstatic, conscious, and love-saturated interactions of Krishna with His eternal energies—Ram and Sita, Radha and Krishna, Lakshman, Hanuman, and the gopīs, etc. To conflate the two is to miss the sweetness of bhakti, to remain trapped in illusion, and to miss the opportunity to enter into eternal līlā—the highest potential of the self. Key Highlights: * Why the Ramayana is more than story—it's a training ground for the soul * The crucial difference between true līlā and conditioned suffering * Why Lord Ram left without resentment—and how we can too * How to starve the inner Ravana and awaken your inner Hanuman * What it really means to return from the forest with “boons” for the world Join us and rediscover your highest potential—not by pretending to be the hero, but by walking the sacred path of one who's learning how to love.
