She boarded a flight to India to learn how to die—and found the wisdom to live. Laurel's journey—from childhood loss and addiction to a stage-4 cancer diagnosis—collides with Bhakti-yoga, kīrtan, and the Bhagavad-gītā at the Govardhan Ecovillage, reframing suffering through devotion and community. With Raghunath and Kaustubha, this episode traces the shift from victimhood to spiritual agency: simple practices, steady philosophy, and a flower-festival moment that changes everything. Key Highlights * “I came to die, but I learned to live.” * Raghu bans pity (but allows chapati—not Chowpatty). * Dog therapy for the soul: Who rescued who? * The sliding-tables cruise ship: how to find steadiness when life tilts. * Kīrtan at 5 a.m., a highway near-miss, and the taste of grace. * From validation-seeking to service and sādhana. * “Maintenance meds” vs. maintenance of the heart. * How the Bhāgavatam reframes impermanence and the “why me?” loop.

Its wonderful glories are beyond the power to describe. That attainment is called prema. It arises from special transformations of the functions of the mind.

Everybody carries a song in their heart. That's what moves all of us. Melody and rhythm are universal. So in Bhakti, when we sing these bhajans, they go deeply within our body. They overwrite the other sound vibrations that are there, and they leave us with the clear, pristine spiritual sounds of another realm. And when we have those and we can aspire for that realm, actually, we'll be carried to that realm by the power of that sound vibration.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 67 vihāya yajña-karmāṇi bhaktyotthāya maharṣibhiḥ praṇamya dhyāna-niṣṭho 'sau yajñeśvara-vad arcitaḥ TRANSLATION The great sages put aside their sacrificial rituals, stood up with devotion, bowed down to the boy, who was absorbed in meditation, and worshiped him as if he were the Lord of sacrifice Himself.
Namaste. This talk explores the experience of spiritual awakening through kirtan meditation, presented from a Vedic perspective. Acharya das discusses how humanity is largely asleep to their true spiritual nature, mistakenly identifying with temporary material bodies rather than recognizing themselves as eternal spiritual beings. He explains that people continually seek happiness in material existence but never truly find it, as material life is characterized by impermanence and ultimately ends in death. He introduces meditation as immersion in transcendental sound rather than merely a mental activity, contrasting this approach with traditional meditation practices such as the Ashtanga Yoga practices that require extraordinary discipline. Kirtan meditation is presented as an accessible yet powerful method of spiritual awakening particularly suited for the current age (Kali Yuga). Acharya das emphasizes the importance of receiving spiritual mantras through proper lineages to ensure their potency and explains the meaning behind the Hare Krishna mantra as a prayer seeking connection with the supreme spiritual reality. The talk concludes by contrasting the ascending path of spiritual practice (based on personal effort) with the descending path (based on grace and revelation). There is then a Q&A interaction with the audience which is in the next video.
This is Q&A interaction with the audience from the previous talk where Acharya Das explores profound spiritual concepts from Vedic philosophy, focusing on meditation, reincarnation, self-realization, and the nature of consciousness. He emphasizes the transformative power of Kirtan meditation as a daily practice that can lead to spiritual awakening. He addresses questions about the soul's journey between death and rebirth, explaining that the time between lives is subjective and depends on one's consciousness. He discusses how karma (action) and its fruits determine our future experiences and bodies, noting that those who transcend material desires can break the cycle of reincarnation. Acharya Das elaborates on the three features of the Absolute Truth (Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan) and their relationship to self-realization. He explains that our natural position is as servants of God rather than being self-centered, and that loving service aligns with our spiritual nature. Throughout the session, he stresses the importance of controlling one's mind rather than being controlled by it, and concludes by encouraging attendees to develop a consistent meditation practice, even if just for 10 minutes daily. The questions which were asked:Q: You spoke about birth, death and rebirth. I really would like to learn more about the time in between death and rebirth, the life between life there, what happens, where's the soul, what?Q: What's the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?Q: I'm a little bit naive, but I would like to hear a little bit more about reincarnation. Q: Could you say something about the relationship between self-realization and God-realization?Q: How would you speak to an asleep person, unawakened, who is approaching the end of their life experience and is gripped by the fear of death? Q: I was interested in what you said about the mantras being from an authentic spiritual master, something to that extent.Q: On Friday you touched on free will and you said that we're not really doing anything, it's not in our control. What's that last part? It's not in our control, free will. It's not in our control. What is not in our control? Any actions we do is already written. In what way is it not in our control? It's all destiny. You mentioned a bit about the balance between our free will.Q: What does it mean to be a servant of God and how one can become one?Q: Yeah, just wondering, just with earthquakes and flooding and stuff like that, is that God sending a message? Or how does that all sort of work?

There's a difference between Kṛṣṇa and his name, even though the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam says there's no difference. What does this mean? He says, 'Certainly, Kṛṣṇa and his name are the same, but there's a difference because Kṛṣṇa's name is more merciful than Kṛṣṇa himself.' Although one may leave Kṛṣṇa, one may forget Kṛṣṇa, one may ignore Kṛṣṇa, the holy name follows us into the dark material world. As Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura says, 'nāma binā kichu nāhiko āro, caudda-bhuvana-mājhe', there's nothing else to be had in the 14 worlds except the holy name, and that's the essence of life. So, let's sing this beautiful tune, Haṁsa Dhvani, to usher in the kīrtan melā. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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
Thank you very much for joining us for the Yuga Dharma. It's a process passed down through millennia, engaging transcendental sound—the names of the Divine. When one chants the names "Hare," "Krishna," "Rama," which are nomenclature for the supreme source of everything, then one comes directly in contact with that source because it's the absolute principle: Advaya-jnana-tattva. There's no difference between the name and the named. Anyone who chants Hare Krishna will rise above any of the complexities of the world by the sublimity of the process. One can chant at any time, in any place. You can chant to yourself, just loud enough to hear, or you can join together with your friends and chant. We also recommend the Bhagavad-gita. It's widely revered wisdom literature that dates back thousands of years. People all over the world have been studying it, taking solace in the Bhagavad-gita. So please help yourself; we have plenty of books. And also, we have this program here at Lytton Plaza every month.------------------------------------------------------------ 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
