Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 5 Texts 35-36 vicitraṁ tasya kāruṇya- bharaṁ santatam āpnuvan vasaṁs tatra mahānanda- pūrān anubhavāmi yān teṣāṁ nirūpaṇaṁ kartuṁ vācā cittena vā janaḥ brahmāyuṣāpi kaḥ śakto bhagavad-bhaktimān api TRANSLATION While residing there in Dvārakā I constantly, abundantly received Lord Kṛṣṇa's wonderful mercy. I tasted such a flood of supreme ecstasy that no one could tell of it in words, or even think of it within the mind, not even a pure devotee of the Lord with a lifetime of Brahmā.

Within His palace, He concealed the emotions He was feeling, and with apparent pleasure He sat down on the best of thrones.

Radhika Das takes a room from silence to euphoria in the space of one song. He has done it at the British Museum, filled London's Apollo theatre doing it, led 15,000 voices doing it in New Delhi, and Wembley Stadium is next (that is the plan). He is, in every sense, a Spiritual Rockstar.What he does is called kirtan, devotional call and response chanting, one of the oldest technologies for shifting consciousness through sound. You do not need to know a word of Sanskrit to feel it. Rooms full of strangers end up in tears, laughing, dancing, chanting at the top of their lungs. That is Radhika's signature, ecstatic, high energy, building wave after wave until the room cannot sit still.But this episode is not really about kirtan. It is about what happens to a person underneath a rapid rise. Sold out shows, ecstatic crowds, going off on Instagram, a career expanding faster than most people's nervous systems could handle.Dylan sits down with Radhika to ask the question most public facing "dharmic work" eventually forces:how do you keep the ego out of it when the whole engine of growth runs on people watching you do it.Where is the line between performance and practice.What does it cost a family when a service based career grows this fast.?Less "me, me, me," in Radhika's own words, while the crowd keeps getting louder.Enjoyed this episode?

Leah McGuire's spoken-word show Between Flesh and Faith is playing at the ESL Rochester Fringe on September 24 at 6:30pm at the Rock Cinema Theater — get tickets for $5 at rochesterfringe.com (seriously, five bucks — cheaper than my emotional support latte).Check out the episode on Just Can't Not wherever you get your podcasts or on Lunchador.org!https://player.captivate.fm/episode/2fe6e2be-1e59-4cb3-88be-50df2658460d/We sat down with Leah to unpack a 45-minute, diary-based solo performance that mashes up a one-night stand with a famous actor, an unexpected dive into a Hindu community, questions about celibacy and identity, and even an unspooled crush on a monk — basically flesh meeting faith in the ring and neither's getting a clean knockout. I'll also say Leah writes most of this from her actual diary entries, poetry and prose, so you get that up-close, slightly messy, very human vibe — spoken word done like someone's whispering straight into your ear but louder. She explains things like kirtan (that's communal mantra-singing used in her spiritual practice) and synesthesia (a sensory crossover — like seeing letters or people as colors) so even if you've never heard those words, you'll leave smarter and kinda delightfully discombobulated. Leah's a novelist who even did a Finland residency and then pivoted from endless agent emails to getting on stage because, as she put it, the Fringe kinda cured her writerly existential crisis — yes, there was crying in the bathroom to Wicked, and yes, we laughed about it. Come see it, follow her on Instagram @leah_thecreativewriter, and we'll see you out on the Fringe — bring tissues, bring friends, bring your weird color-sensory self.Mentioned in this episode:Joe Bean RoastersVisit joebeanroasters.com to get fresh roasted specialty coffee either by the bag or with a Perpetual Joy subscription!

Join us in Hawaii this December for the Open Your Heart in Paradise Retreat featuring Krishna Das, Jack Kornfield, Mirabai Starr, and many others!About Krishna Das:Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das has been called yoga's “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda' (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.KD spent the late '60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass' own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji. Krishna Das now travels the world sharing his kirtan practice and wonderful stories of his life, of Maharaji-ji, of his life on the Path and discusses bringing chanting into our lives through retreats and workshops. To date, KD has released 15 well-received albums, most recently Trust in the Heart released in October 2017.MORE INFORMATION and OFFERINGS VISIT: https://krishnadas.com/ KRISHNA DAS ON SOCIAL: FACEBOOK: facebook.com/KrishnaDasMusic INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/krishnadasmusic YOUTUBE: / krishnadasmusic X: @krishnadas #KrishnaDas“I was summoned from the back of the temple where we westerners spent most of our time, banished to inner darkness. All I did was distribute the prasad. I would give out this water, the nectar from the feet of the Goddess. The temple was right next to Maharaj-ji's room. I'd be sitting there blah all day, and for some reason I would look up and he'd be peeking at me through the window. The minute I'd look up, he'd close the window. He did it every day. It was so funny.” –Krishna DasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Just after Kṛṣṇa-Balarāma appeared, 5,000 years later, Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda appeared on the horizon of Gauḍadeśa like the sun and the moon to give benedictions to all. Śrīla Prabhupāda took the message of his spiritual master to spread the teachings of Lord Caitanya all over the world, and in the mood of Lord Nityānanda, he went from town to town to teach everyone the process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He stepped off the Jaladūta, and from that very day, people began to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. It spread all over the world; now, in every continent and time zone, somebody is chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. If you listen very carefully, you can hear even now people calling out for the mercy of Lord Gaurāṅga: gaura-kṛpā hale he. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #kirtan #balaramapurnima #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

Kirtan shares a firsthand account of the disaster response, drawing on his work using drones to assess and deliver aid to flood affected communities, and explains why this event, and Nepal's growing exposure to glacial hazards, must be understood as a climate risk issue with global implications.We discuss:What triggered the flood, and how a glacier collapse near the Nepal-China border unleashed one of the deadliest disasters in Nepal's modern historyHow GeoSutra's team accessed the affected area and used drones to assess damage and deliver aid across a river with no remaining crossingsThe scale of destruction to critical infrastructure, including roads, bridges, the Rasuwagadhi border crossing and hydropower stationsThe ongoing search for workers trapped in a hydropower tunnel and the mounting challenge of managing the deadWhy the flood is directly linked to climate change and global warming's effect on Himalayan glaciersThe limitations of Nepal's current early warning systems and what stronger, climate resilient infrastructure would requireWhy Nepal and other low emitting mountainous nations are demanding climate finance and loss and damage funding as grants rather than loansWhat this disaster reveals about the growing risk facing mountain communities across the Himalayas and beyondThe International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners and senior decision makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

Thinking Bharata to be Rāmacandra, Lord of the Raghus, I recited prayers addressed to that Lord. But Bharata covered His ears and repeatedly forbade me to continue, saying “I am only a servant.”

In this episode, musician, kirtan leader, and bhakti artist Jordan Loder shares his journey through music and his exploration of sound as a pathway to connection, devotion, and spiritual practice. Jordan has an extensive musical background and spent years touring in supportive roles with artists including Deva Premal & Miten, Snatam Kaur, Ajeet, Simrit, and Adam Bauer, and performing alongside many others in the devotional music community. His experiences have shaped his understanding of music not simply as something to perform or listen to, but as a way of creating connection and shared experience. The conversation explores Jordan's musical journey and the experiences that transformed his relationship with sound, music, and spirit, as well as the traditions of bhakti and kirtan. Topics include the transformative power of singing together, the role of mantra and repetition, and what happens when we move from listening to music to actively creating sound with our own voices. Jordan also discusses making devotional music accessible to people from all backgrounds, lessons learned through years of traveling and leading sacred music experiences, his own spiritual practice, and the place of devotional music within the growing interest in sound, mindfulness, and healing. https://www.jordanloder.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@jordanloder https://www.instagram.com/jordanlodermusic/ https://www.facebook.com/jordanlodermusic Natalie Brown, host of Sounds Heal Podcast, founder of Sounds Heal Studio, Sound Healing Academy Lead Teacher for North America: http://www.soundshealstudio.com http://www.facebook.com/soundshealstudio http://www.instagram.com/nataliebrownsoundsheal http://www.youtube.com/soundshealstudio Email: soundshealstudio@gmail.com Music by Natalie Brown, Hope & Heart http://www.youtu.be/hZPx6zJX6yA

But because that fruit does not at first appear, pure devotees decry what those worshipers first achieve.

Enjoy this descent into the heartspace where Krishna Das connects us to our true nature of pure awareness and unity with God. This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das explores:Different translations of the Ramayana Bhakti and repetition of the name as one of the easiest paths to follow Descending deeply into the mind and heartHow Maharaj-ji instructed Krishna Das to wear red Union with god alongside worldly enjoymentsRemembering to orient ourselves to our true nature Watching the breath, separating breathing from awareness of breathing “The eye receives information from the outside world. But, the eye has no consciousness—it's a physical thing. What has consciousness is our true nature, which is aware of all the sense input that comes in. Who we truly are underneath all our thoughts, emotions, objects of experience, we are that awareness.” –Krishna DasAbout Krishna Das:Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das has been called yoga's “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda' (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.KD spent the late '60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass' own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji. Krishna Das now travels the world sharing his kirtan practice and wonderful stories of his life, of Maharaji-ji, of his life on the Path and discusses bringing chanting into our lives through retreats and workshops. To date, KD has released 15 well-received albums, most recently Trust in the Heart released in October 2017.MORE INFORMATION and OFFERINGS VISIT: https://krishnadas.com/ KRISHNA DAS ON SOCIAL: FACEBOOK: facebook.com/KrishnaDasMusic INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/krishnadasmusic YOUTUBE: / krishnadasmusic X: @krishnadas #KrishnaDasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Jahnavi Harrison is a Grammy-nominated artist, musician, and practitioner of Bhakti Yoga who has spent her life exploring sound as a path to the divine. Raised at Bhaktivedanta Manor in England, she grew up inside one of the world's most dedicated devotional communities, and in this conversation we trace how that formation shaped her relationship with voice, identity, approval, and what it means to offer your life as a prayer.What We Dive Into:1. Most of us were told at some point to be quiet, to sound better, or to wait until we were good enough. That conditioning runs deep. Reclaiming the voice, whether through kirtan, song, or simply speaking truthfully, is one of the most direct paths back to a self that stopped performing and started expressing.2. Bhakti is not a feeling you arrive at and maintain. It is a daily offering, something you return to moment by moment, especially when you have drifted. Jahnavi's framing is simple: make space for prayer in whatever form feels alive to you, and that space will become a source of nourishment that compounds over time.3. The desire to be accepted can masquerade as discernment, as wisdom, even as calling. Jahnavi traces how much of her own journey involved slowly distinguishing the voice of genuine inner knowing from the much louder voice that simply wanted to be liked. That distinction is not resolved once. It is worked on for life.Know Thyself, but not by yourself. A guided space to return home to yourself.https://www.knowthyselfcollective.com✨THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:https://www.timeline.com/KNOWTHYSELF Save 20% off your Mitopure® Gummieshttps://www.mudwtr.com/knowthyselfUse code KNOWTHYSELF for up to 43% off sitewide___________00:00 Intro01:36 What Devotional Music Actually Is03:12 Sound as a Direct Path to the Divine06:42 Sound as the First and Last Sense09:15 The Sensitivity of Sound and Its Transformative Power12:28 Why We Lose Our Voices: Fear, Shame, and the Voice Unsung16:22 Finding Your Voice and Speaking Your Truth20:17 Discerning Your Own Voice from the Noise of Others23:46 The Missed Flight: Choosing Calling Over Convention29:00 Life as an Offering: Dharma and Letting Go of Outcomes31:54 The Intelligence of the Heart in Bhakti36:22 Nature, Silence, and the Inner Life42:39 Prayer vs. Meditation: Are They the Same?48:32 Prayer as Relationship, Not Request57:54 Kirtan, Mantra, and the Dissolution of Self1:03:25 Kirtan at a Funeral: Sound as Communal Holding1:06:15 Losing and Reclaiming Faith: The Reckoning with Tradition1:13:33 The Role of Trusted Counsel Through Doubt1:15:28 The Grammys and the Tension of Devotional Art in Industry1:21:37 Fame, Ego, and Staying on the Right Track1:25:40 Expanding Beyond Tradition: The Rise Album with Willow1:35:36 Art as Revolution and Service1:38:31 The Coldplay Concert and the Power of Mass Gathering1:43:17 Current Projects and Dreaming Bigger1:51:37 Closing Message: Make Space for Prayer Every Day___________✨MORE FROM JAHNAVI↳Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jahnavi_harrison↳YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/JahnaviHarrisonMusic↳https://www.jahnavimusic.com
