In this episode, our host Thilan Wickramasinghe opens with sentiment across markets stabilising somewhat, as oil prices fall and treasuries rise following news that fresh US-Iran talks would begin today. Here in Singapore, the STI trades in the red, weighed down by weaker banks ahead of results later this week. With the local results season unfolding, the focus turns to domestic stocks, starting with the S-REITs sector.He speaks with Krishna on the S-REITs results season so far, discussing the key standouts observed as results roll in, how debt metrics – a persistent concern for the sector over recent quarters – are evolving, and the key changes to stock calls made so far and the reasoning behind them.We then turn to stock specifics with Hussaini, who has spent the past week meeting institutional investors in Singapore. He discusses the key questions and concerns surrounding SingTel, which has given up around 3% this year, the building investor interest in Olam amid its strong share price performance and expectations ahead of its upcoming results, and finally Seatrium, where he explains the thinking behind trimming the target price to SGD2.85 from SGD3.10 following recent results.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 187 nārāyaṇād apy avatāra-bhāve saṁvyajyamānair madhurair mano-jñaiḥ tat-prema-bhaktyārdra-hṛd-eka-vedyair māhātmya-vargair vividhair viśiṣṭaḥ TRANSLATION And Kṛṣṇa is different from Nārāyaṇa, for when Kṛṣṇa appears in His descent in the material world He fully manifests the many unique glories that distinguish Kṛṣṇa alone — charming, attractive glories that can be known only to hearts softened by prema-bhakti.

On Friendship Day, we turn to the oldest wisdom on what real friendship means — the Bhagavad Gita.Krishna didn't rescue Arjuna from the battlefield or hand him easy answers. He stayed beside him in the chaos and helped him find his own clarity. And Sudama, the poor Brahmin who arrived with nothing but a fistful of rice, left with everything — because true friendship keeps no ledger.In this episode, Prof Pankaj Jain unpacks what these timeless stories teach us about loyalty, presence, and the friends who see us clearly and stay anyway.Happy Friendship Day.

“Two persons, one in Krishna consciousness and the other in material consciousness, working on the same level, may appear to be working on the same platform, but there is a wide gulf of difference in their respective positions. The person in material consciousness is convinced by false ego that he is the doer of everything. He does not know that the mechanism of the body is produced by material nature, which works under the supervision of the Supreme Lord. The materialistic person has no knowledge that ultimately he is under the control of Krishna. The person in false ego takes all credit for doing everything independently, and that is the symptom of his nescience.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Bhagavad-gita, 3.27 Purport)

Question: How can be our chanting such that it is exclusively in relationship with Krishna rather than a monotonous activity? Answer: You hear about Kṛṣṇa from the Bhāgavatam; read Kṛṣṇa book. Also, have a bhajana. Have a variety of activities you put together, you have to thicken your bhajana. It doesn't mean that you have to stop everything you are doing, because we can't. But you should try to thicken it a little bit every day, or every week, or every month, or every year—including, chanting a chapter of Bhagavad-gītā a day. How therapeutic that is, and how relational it is to Kṛṣṇa! You'll feel that He's directly talking to you, and you'll also experience what you are talking about with the inner work being realized in all your activities. You can do that plus one chapter of Bhāgavatam every day, and also have your pages. You should have something where you say, "Okay, I'll join you in a minute, because I haven't finished my pages." So you should have a quota of pages that you finish every day, whether it's 1 or it's 50 or whatever. But have that. Also make plans to visit Kṛṣṇa at the temple. See Kṛṣṇa. Appreciate what He is wearing. Bring Him a gift. Ring the bell. And then, if you can, organize your life so that you can visit the dhāma periodically. When you go to Vṛndāvana, you walk around Govardhana Hill and visit the various temples. You start to see, "Oh, there's Kṛṣṇa's home." You go see Nandagrāma, and the villages of the aṣṭa-sakhīs and things like that. So you make this composite in your life, mix it together, and keep it really solid. Follow the footsteps of the great ācāryas and stay steady. Saṅkhyā-pūrvaka-nāma-gāna-natibhiḥ—even if it's not voluminous, if it's consistent and you have a nice variety in there, then Kṛṣṇa will reveal Himself.

"I would believe only in a God who knows how to dance." Nietzsche didn't reject God — he rejected a God who was solemn, heavy and joyless. What he wanted was a God with joy in him. He had no idea that on the other side of the world, thousands of years before he was born, that God had already been described. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore George Harrison's idea that everybody is looking for Krishna – some just don't know it yet.

When we think of spirituality, we often think of meditation, prayer, or pilgrimage - but what if one of the most transformative spiritual practices begins in the kitchen?In this talk, we explore the Bhagavad Gita's profound teaching that food is more than nutrition. The consciousness, intention, and devotion behind how it's prepared can shape our own consciousness. Discover why offering food to Krishna is central to the Bhakti tradition, why prasadam is far more than a vegetarian meal, and how every meal can become an act of remembrance and devotion.00:23 – Why food is a spiritual practice02:02 – What the Bhagavad Gita teaches about offering food05:21 – Consciousness is contagious06:00 – The kitchen becomes an extension of the temple07:35 – Turning every meal into communion with God08:10 – The real miracle of prasadamProduced by: Sunni Sharma and Viraj Limbachia Filmed by: Filmwork Studios Edited by: Hannah BrownWant to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasKomi: radhikadas.komi.io

How does meditating on Krishna's romantic pastimes conquer lust? Not through repression — through a higher meditation. In classical yoga, the very first demand is to root out every vestige of erotic thought. With the meditators on Krishna, the romantic mood became the queen of all meditation. The gopīs' love is the diametric opposite of lust — being entirely selfless. Meditating on something so pure reprograms the heart from within — the counterfeit simply loses its pull. Raghunath and Kaustubha complete all five chapters of the Rāsa Līlā. Krishna's pastimes are not the product of material desire. They are its antidote. And anyone who hears them faithfully will attain pure devotion and quickly conquer the disease of the heart.

When you show up for the chanting, sincerely call out to Kṛṣṇa, and when one feels something for Kṛṣṇa, then the mind is automatically conquered. This is natural. It's not unnatural. It's not the kind of control or mastery over the mind that some yogi does by controlling the breath without going into the incoming, but rather, it's reconnecting with our natural dependence on Kṛṣṇa as His eternal servant, and when we feel that, and it's reality— "sa nityo nitya-sambandhaḥ prakṛtiś ca paraiva sā." Sri Brahma-samhita (5.28) says we have this eternal kinship with Kṛṣṇa. It's not something we're adding, but when we feel that sincerely, then there is a sense of—there's an upsurge in our body. I'm not saying, you know, it has to be dramatic, but you feel it yourself, you'll notice that your mind is automatically controlled because you become enthralled with the idea that I have a connection with Kṛṣṇa. That's the way that we rise above the mind. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #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

IBM Chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna says that the recent slowdown in infrastructure deals was driven by a temporary reprioritization of customer capital spending rather than weakening demand.

“…the word pavarga signifies our struggle for existence and our meeting with defeat, exhaustion, bondage, fearfulness and, at last, death. Apavarga means that which can nullify all of these material conditions. Krishna is said to be the giver of apavarga, the path of liberation.” (Shrila Prabhupada, The Nectar of Devotion, Ch 59)

When we first find the spiritual path, we imitate. It's natural. We put on the costume before we've done the inner work. We adopt the style before we've absorbed the substance. We copy what we see in the saints and the sages — the dress, the language, the mood. But it's been said: "No man was ever great by imitation. Almost all absurdity of conduct arises from the imitation of those whom we cannot resemble." Raghunath and Kaustubha take that insight into one of the most important questions in the Bhagavatam: how could Krishna, the original speaker and guardian of morality, have a romantic relationship with so many girls? The answer extends to reframing who we are and what our purpose in life is. On the broadest level, the material world itself is the result of us imitating the Divine. That imitation produces absurdity and suffering. Returning to our natural position can be found through bhakti.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 148 pūrva-vad bhajanānandaṁ prāpnuvanti navaṁ navam sarvadāpy aparicchinnaṁ vaikuṇṭhe 'tra viśeṣataḥ TRANSLATION The same kind of ecstasy these devotees previously enjoyed in worshiping the Lord they continue to relish here in Vaikuṇṭha. They obtain it as a unique, uninterrupted, unceasing bliss, newer and newer at every moment.

Some people are highly intellectual and they have intelligence, but it can be easily misused by speculating. If you follow Kṛṣṇa by hearing Bhagavad Gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and taking the advice of the ācāryas, it's descending mercy, because the order that comes down from Kṛṣṇa through the disciplic succession is non-different from Kṛṣṇa. Simple act— chanting Kṛṣṇa's names. It makes complete sense because everything has an origin—janmādy asya yataḥ—and that origin is personal. If you find out the name of the person from whom everything else emanates, and you worship that name according to Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, then you'll be directly in contact with Him. In fact, 'āsyenedam upāsya so ‘pi hi sadānandāmbudhau majjati' (Śrī Nāmāṣṭaka - 6). Rūpa Gosvāmī says, "Just use your mouth; use it as an instrument, and upāsya." Upāsya means to come closer. It means worship, but worship—actually, what it means literally—is that you become intimately connected with that person. So, this is the best of all religious processes because it's directly connecting us with Kṛṣṇa. It's a natural impulse to call out to those that we feel grateful to, that we want to serve, and that we are impressed by. So, take the process; keep doing it. I'm really impressed with all of you. You come here every single time, and every morning take time to chant, despite the fact that you have such busy lives. It's inordinate; that's part of being in Kali-yuga. But don't worry, because the holy name will win: 'paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam.' Keep doing this, and give it to many more people. Teach them how to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Have you ever witnessed such a thing—a baby speaking its first words? Well, it's a dramatic thing. The parents are waiting to see what the baby is going to say. If the baby says māmā, dādā, pitā, or ammā, the parents go crazy! They say, “He said my name! She said my name!” They will record it on video and play it over and over and over again. This is the real meaning behind the idea of "service with the tongue." What Kṛṣṇa wants is our love. Just as parents want the love of their baby—where at first, it seems like the baby is just crying and wanting attention, and the parents give all their attention because they are so attached. When the baby finally gives something back, the simplest thing they can offer is just recognizing them and saying, “Māmā,"then, the parents' hearts melt. To them, that is the best service the baby could ever give—better than anything else they could do in their entire life. It is simply the baby recognizing, "Here is the one taking care of me." This is exactly what service is when we chant to Kṛṣṇa. When we recognize, “Kṛṣṇa, You are my mother, You are my father, You are everything to me,” that is the real connection. Remember: this is a deeply heartfelt, personal process. It is not mechanical. It is not about merging into some impersonal light. It is entirely personal. We are persons, and Kṛṣṇa is a person. He loves us and wants us to come back to Him. Śrīla Prabhupāda writes in his purport to the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (1.2.17) on the verse śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ: "Kṛṣṇa wants us to come back to Him even more than we can desire to go back to Him." So, think of yourself as a baby calling out to your mother. That is the deepest connection and service you can perform. It is just acknowledging that He is there, and saying, “Kṛṣṇa, I only want You.” Just imagine how His heart melts for you personally. It is not just a general thing where, "Oh, He likes everybody," He specifically likes you. I gave a class on this in London recently. In a section of the Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta, when Gopa-kumāra finally goes back to Godhead, he mentions that when he met Kṛṣṇa, he initially thought, "Well, yes, Kṛṣṇa loves all living entities—you can say that." But then he realized, "Oh, He specifically cares for me." That is when his heart truly melted. That lack of personal connection is what vexes everybody in the material world. Everyone thinks, "God is against me. Nobody likes me." People are not even sure if their own parents like them! It is a deep psychological anomaly we are all stuck in. But when you experience that genuine reconnection with Kṛṣṇa, then your japa becomes absolutely essential. You cannot do without it. It stops being a mechanical process. It becomes real—the genuine, urgent yearning of the soul for what we have lost: our awareness of Kṛṣṇa's intense love for us.

Are South Indians overlooked for the Padma Awards and national awards. The issue regained prominence following the death of legendary playback singer S. Janaki, who had declined the Padma Bhushan, arguing that the honour had come far too late in her career. She maintained that artists should be recognised when they are at the height of their creative powers rather than in old age or after their death. In explaining her decision, she also referred to the posthumous Padma award conferred on the celebrated singer P. Leela. A similar debate has long surrounded the Jnanpith Award, with critics arguing that several outstanding writers from South India have been overlooked despite their enduring contributions to Indian literature. Are these concerns justified? Is there a systemic imbalance in the way India's highest civilian and literary honours are conferred, or do the awards reflect the complexities of evaluating excellence across languages, regions and artistic traditions?

Este martes la acción de IBM se desplomó más de un 25% en una sola jornada. La masacre ha sido de tal calibre que ha superado incluso su anterior plusmarca, que se produjo el 19 de octubre de 1987, una fecha que ha pasado a la historia de la Bolsa como Lunes Negro. En aquel entonces IBM se hundió junto a todo el mercado, esta vez se ha hundido prácticamente sola. Unos 67.000 millones de dólares de capitalización se evaporaron en unas horas y sus directivos entraron en modo de máxima alerta . El detonante fue una simple carta. Arvind Krishna, consejero delegado de la empresa desde hace 6 años, adelantó a los inversores los resultados preliminares del segundo trimestre, algo que no estaba obligado a publicar hasta el 22 de julio, pero que decidió hacerlo una semana antes. Informaba de unos ingresos de 17.200 millones, ligeramente por encima de lo previsto, y un beneficio por acción ajustado de 2,93 dólares frente a los 3 que se esperaban. Nada especialmente llamativo de primeras, salvo por una frase concreta en la que Krishna reconocía que las cosas habían ido peor de lo previsto y de lo que él mismo había vaticinado hace solo unos meses. Krishna no hablaba de una empresa que esté perdiendo clientes, sino una empresa cuyos clientes gastan el dinero en otra cosa. Con la memoria disparada de precio, los directores de sistemas de otras empresas están priorizando la compra de memoria por encima de otros gastos de capital. Un contrato de software se puede aplazar al mes de octubre, un lote de módulos de memoria quizá ya no esté disponible o lo esté a un precio mucho mayor. El software se ha convertido así en la variable de ajuste. No se cancela su compra, se aplaza, pero el trimestre perdido está perdido para siempre. La prueba la encontramos en la cotización de empresas que se dedican a la fabricación de memoria. SK Hynix subió casi un 9% tras poner en producción su módulo HBM4 de 12 capas, Samsung y Kioxia ganaron un 6%, y ASML, que fabrica las máquinas que hacen chips, también subió. En definitiva, que cada dólar que no fue a una licencia de IBM se fue a un módulo de memoria. La cuestión es que, en contratos de software, IBM ha crecido un 5%, aproximadamente la la mitad de lo prometido. Pero lo problemático no es eso, sino que la venta de servidores se ha contraído un 7% cuando la propia compañía había previsto un 1%. IBM no tiene una crisis de costes, que podría arreglarse con un plan de ajuste, sino de demanda, algo que depende de terceros. No es, además, la primera sacudida bursátil que sufren este año. El 23 de febrero la acción cayó un 13% tras anunciar Anthropic que Claude Code podía mapear y documentar bases de código COBOL en pocas semanas. Ahí lo que peligra son las horas facturables en un negocio que aporta a IBM unos 5.000 millones cada trimestre. Otras empresas dedicadas a negocios parecidos como Workday, ServiceNow, Salesforce y Accenture también han bajado sin que ninguna de ellas publicase nota alguna. Es lo que los inversores han bautizado como “SaaSpocalipsis”, el apocalipsis de las empresas de software como servicio. IBM tiene el problema añadido de que su software va atado a su hardware. Si la tendencia persiste tendrán que tomar medidas serias, tanto como reinventarse de nuevo, algo que IBM ha hecho ya varias veces.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 147 te ca sarve 'tra vaikuṇṭhe śrī-nārāyaṇam īśvaram tat-tad-varṇādi-yuktātma- deva-rūpaṁ vicakṣate TRANSLATION In Vaikuṇṭha each devotee sees the Supreme Lord Śrī Nārāyaṇa in the form of the particular Lord he worships, with suitable complexion and other qualities.

“O King, as I repeatedly recall this wondrous and holy dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna, I take pleasure, being thrilled at every moment.” (Sanjaya, Bhagavad-gita, 18.76)

"Love separates all things from the soul." Meister Eckhart — fourteenth century Christian mystic, so radical the Pope investigated him for heresy — arrived at the same place as the Bhakti Vedāntins. Both jñāna and bhakti dissolve material attachment. Jñāna does it through relentless intellectual negation. Bhakti does it through love. And love, as the Rāsa Dance shows, does it beautifully. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha continue through Canto Ten, Chapter Thirty-Three — Krishna caressing the tired gopīs' faces, the demigods showering flowers from their airplanes, Krishna and the gopīs entering the Yamuna together under the autumn moon. The highest object of meditation, delivered into this universe so we would stop looking for love and beauty in all the wrong places.

Devotional service is not affected by the modes of material nature, but this verse gives an analogy that we can relate to: that when we are properly prepared, then it can conflagrate. It comes as a small spark, but if a spark—Prabhupāda says—lands on bare ground, it won't start a fire. But if it lands on dry grass, then it'll burn. Kṛṣṇa says in the Gītā (BG 7.28): yeṣāṁ tv antagataṁ pāpaṁ janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ When one is solidly situated in the mode of goodness, then when the spark of bhakti touches one, you'll notice that they immediately become activated in the process, and they can come to that level very quickly. All forms of bhakti are permanent. We find that they are never lost, even in the cases where they land in somebody who is not yet prepared to take to bhakti. But when they do prepare themselves after they have received that, then progressively they'll be able to increase the level of bhakti that they practice. Therefore, it's mentioned by Kapila-deva: the levels of preparedness—the bhakti is there, but it gets expressed through the mode of ignorance, through the mode of passion, through the mode of goodness, and then when it's transcendental, it breaks free and has its own symptoms—avyavahitā. It's mentioned in that verse that if one even one time hears, then one becomes attracted. So that's the case when somebody's purified. And it is an aspect of devotional service that Kṛṣṇa recommends himself: that we should cultivate the mode of goodness very deliberately in all that we do. He names in the Eleventh Canto ten ways in which, as samples, we should interact with the world in sattva.

A first reading of the Rāsa Līlā might suggest the gopīs' love is selfish, irresponsible, even unethical. But looking closer one can find the highest transcendence attained not through grinding austerity but through love so real and complete that everything else simply fell away. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha arrive at Canto Ten, Chapter Thirty-Three — the Rāsa Dance itself. Krishna expands between each pair of gopīs. The demigods crowd the sky. The gopīs sing, creating sixteen thousand musical ragas. Rādhārāṇī, tired from the dance, places her arm around Krishna's shoulder. His arm carries the fragrance of blue lotus and sandalwood. Her hair stands on end. She kisses his arm. This beautiful scene is what Vyāsadeva was told to meditate on and share with the world.

Through the fire, transformation, surrender, illusion, Krishna is the captain of the ship

O Bhagavad Gita, um dos grandes clássicos da filosofia oriental, continua oferecendo respostas profundas para os desafios humanos de todos os tempos. Neste episódio, refletimos sobre como seus ensinamentos podem iluminar os momentos de angústia, mostrando que as dificuldades da vida podem se tornar oportunidades de crescimento interior. A partir do diálogo entre Krishna e Arjuna, são abordados temas como a imortalidade da alma, a reencarnação, a importância da ação justa e a necessidade de unir conhecimento e prática. A conversa destaca que a verdadeira sabedoria não consiste apenas em compreender ideias elevadas, mas em vivê-las por meio de atitudes coerentes, desenvolvendo virtudes que fortaleçam o ser humano diante das adversidades. Ao explorar o simbolismo da batalha narrada no Bhagavad Gita, o episódio convida à reflexão sobre os conflitos internos que todos enfrentamos e sobre a construção de uma vida orientada por valores universais, capaz de transformar não apenas o indivíduo, mas também a sociedade.

Live from the Wisdom of the Sages annual Tuscany retreat, three questions that go to the heart of the practice. How do we deepen intimacy in bhakti without imitating it? How do you reconcile respect and resentment toward a teacher who gave you bhakti but also caused real harm?

Krishna Das offers his perspectives on selfless service, committed practice, and uncovering the presence that has always been within.This time on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das discusses:Doing selfless service for others anytime and anywhereKeeping up with our practice in order to receive the fruits Asana and Pranayama to clean our energy channels and heal the bodyUncovering the presence that already exists within us Guru devotion as a means to dissolve the separate selfAbout 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“Service can be done anytime, anywhere.

There is a word, duḥkha, which is generally translated as misery, but what it really means is to be out of alignment. Duh- kha, 'kha' means space. We say in California, "I'm in a bad space, man." Or sukha means I'm in a good space. But what it refers to is being out of alignment and then feeling friction because of that. That's simple enough, right? For instance, if an axle is bent and it's not aligned properly with whatever it goes into—(don't ask me, because I'm not a mechanic)— sooner or later there'll be friction, there'll be heat, there'll be a fire, there'll be extra expenses and there'll be insurance claims where the deductible is so high that you might as well not even make a claim anyway. What to speak of, it could cause an accident, you could even die from being out of alignment. And so, there is a way in which the idea of the life of Kṛṣṇa consciousness—of practicing bhakti-yoga—is to come into alignment with our spiritual purpose in life. That solves the problem; it really does. You can't solve it any other way, because any adjustment in the material world ultimately does not solve the main problem, which is that we have a nature which is defined in several ways. But I will mention three of them, because they will be instantly recognizable by you, and there are ways in which you may instantly feel aligned with Kṛṣṇa. The first one is...

Krishna Kaliannan wanted to start a tech company but failed at every attempt. On the side, he was teaching himself how to cook with high-protein, low-sugar ingredients. Not just out of interest, but out of necessity. As a teenager, Krishna had been diagnosed with diabetes and epilepsy, meaning he adopted a keto diet long before it was trendy. Krishna's home experiments with pea powder and monk fruit eventually became Catalina Crunch, one of the country's most popular high-protein, low-carb breakfast cereals and snacks. In this episode, Krishna shares how a life-changing health condition sparked an obsession with healthy baking— and a brand that reimagined snacking.What You'll LearnHow to turn a health challenge into a business opportunity The art and science of baking with esoteric ingredientsWhen to trust partners and when it's best to take charge yourselfWhy the DTC model is great for some industries and disastrous for othersTimestamps:00:06:16 - Dealing with diabetes and epilepsy as a college student00:12:38 - What Krishna learns from his early failures in tech00:22:43 - The first, low-sugar cocoa puffs: “Rocks that tasted like soil.” 00:27:36 - His homemade cereal gets good enough to sell00:32:42 - Naming the brand: classy alliteration and a nod to a Will Ferrell movie 00:44:51 - Learning to make cereal like the pros at Texas A&M00:54:43 - Krishna moves from NYC to Indiana to make sure the cereal is made right01:01:04 - Whole Foods, Costco, and becoming a household brandThis episode was researched and produced by Chris Maccini with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

Live from the Wisdom of the Sages annual Tuscany retreat, Raghunath and Kaustubha take questions from their live audience. Four questions: When Krishna takes something away — is it punishment or love? How do you know if you're actually making progress on the path of bhakti? How do you stay Krishna conscious in a kirtan scene that rarely chants the Mahā-mantra? And how do we process the apparent repercussions of Krishna's Līlā in this world — Hiraṇyakaśipu was a devotee in a previous life, and yet he torments Prahlāda, kills brāhmaṇas, and terrorizes the universe. How do we make sense of that? ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!

That is the signature of real love — not what you get out of it, but how impossible it feels to ever pay it back. Arthur Ashe, dying, wrote to his young daughter: "You gave me so much happiness I can never repay you." He raised her. By any accounting, she owes him. And yet the giver feels the debt. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha arrive at Krishna's confession to the gopīs: the Supreme Person, whom no one can place under obligation, declares He cannot repay their love. Not in a lifetime of Brahmā. The chapter opens with the gopīs unable to bear separation. It closes with Krishna unable to repay it. The longing that begins as theirs ends as His.

Henry David Thoreau wrote, "The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it." With every choice, we're trading the moments of our life for something. The Vedic tradition asks: what is it actually worth – material prosperity? Liberation? Bhakti Vedanta points higher — divine love, connection with the very origin of your existence. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the meaning of Krishna's Lila, which may sound like mythology or a fairy tale. But at the pinnacle of Vedantic thought, after hundreds of thousands of Sanskrit verses building a complete philosophy of existence, we arrive here: Krishna is the origin and sustainer of all that is. And beyond that — his intimate love makes one forget all worldly attachments and gives the highest fulfillment the soul can find.
