“Well, CARU I wish KRISHNA would help me to do better”. KRISHNA HAS done his part. He MADE you a KING. He's given you AUTHORITY. You have the POWER TO RULE your SPACE. You can't control all that's around you, but you CAN CONTROL what gets IN you. Ask yourself. Are your WALLS UP? Are […] The post Rule Your Space appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

The Daily Brief is on break till January 1. In the meanwhile, allow us to introduce the writing team.Today, we're talking to Krishna Lohia.Krishna has been working on the Daily Brief since the very first episode, and the only reason we still have jobs is that he wakes up at 6 AM every day.

High above the mortal world, in the radiant gardens of Devaloka, bloomed the Parijata—the celestial tree whose white, star-shaped flowers never faded and whose fragrance filled the heavens.After a fierce battle that ended the reign of the demon Narakasura, Krishna and Satyabhama ascended to the realm of the gods. But what should have been a moment of honor and welcome turned into silence—and that silence wounded pride more deeply than any weapon.Why was Satyabhama, who had stood fearlessly in war, ignored in the court of Indra?Why was a single tree powerful enough to challenge the king of the gods himself?And how did a divine conflict end not in destruction—but in understanding?This episode retells the myth of the Parijata Tree, a story of divine ego, feminine dignity, cosmic power, and the rare strength of forgiveness. A tale where even gods are reminded that respect is greater than possession, and humility more precious than heaven's treasures.✨ A myth where heaven bends, not to force—but to grace.

KK Roy, former President Student Union University of Allahabad/ Conversation recorded in Hotel Yatrik, Allahabad on 22 December 2025

“One time, that wicked king of the Daityas saw his son of lotus-like face and beautiful eyes, surrounded by women, having returned from the home of the guru. In his hand, that boy was holding a slate which had the mark of a chakra at the top and the name of Krishna written with great adoration.” (Narasimha Purana, 41.35-36)

In this Telugu podcast episode, Prof. K. Nageshwar Rao, senior journalist, political analyst, and former MLC, shares rare insights from a career that spans journalism, politics, academia, and legislative responsibility. From witnessing India's media evolution since the early days of Doordarshan and The Indian Express to being part of the first 24-hour Telugu news ecosystem with TV9, he reflects on how news, narratives, and political theatre have reshaped public discourse.The conversation explores how parliamentary discussions should ideally function, the gap between democratic intent and political drama, and why voters today are often ill-informed or misinformed, echoing Jayaprakash Narayan's warning from 1997. Prof. Nageshwar breaks down the deep nexus between media, business, and politics, the systematic delegitimisation of independent journalists, and why intellectual debate has been replaced by noise-driven television formats. Drawing from ancient references like Krishna, Sita, and Buddha, he places modern democracy in a broader civilisational context.He speaks candidly about money in politics, daily expenses of MLAs and MPs, manifesto design, welfare schemes like Dalit Bandhu, and how policies are crafted more for optics than outcomes. The discussion covers voter responsibility, opposition as a democratic asset, warning signals of institutional collapse, and why a healthy opposition and free media are essential checks on unlimited power.Prof. Nageshwar also reflects on student politics, Osmania University, the limits of funding without intellectual leadership, and how some of India's finest leaders emerged from campus movements. He shares personal experiences from the time of Indira Gandhi's assassination, his transition from journalism to politics, his eight years as an MLC, achievements, regrets, and the challenge of staying intellectually honest in public life.The episode touches on threats, ideological labelling, public perception, media pressure, AI in journalism, currency performance, global awareness, and the discipline required to stay informed. With calm reasoning and sharp clarity, he explains why neutrality is not the absence of values, but the courage to speak truth without fear.If you are interested in Telugu politics, Indian democracy, journalism ethics, media influence, voter awareness, student politics, and political analysis without theatrics, this conversation offers depth, context, and perspective that cuts through the chaos.

In this episode, Kaustubha shares deeply moving stories from his recent Vaishnava Scholars' retreat in Vṛndāvana—revealing why Vrindavan bhakti feels so alive and unmistakably different. Through encounters with Goswamis and sacred lineages, visits to the Rādhā-vallabha and Rādhā-ramaṇa temples, and time at the mystic Tatiyā Sthān—where the "soft sand" of Vrindavan is worshiped by off-the-grid sādhus—a vision of devotion emerges that isn't driven by rules or rituals, but by intimate love that captures Krishna's heart. With warmth, humor, and insight, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the four major Vrindavan bhakti lineages, why Śrī Chaitanya empowered the Six Goswamis to ground ecstasy in Vedānta, and how history, politics, and bhakti unexpectedly converged in Vrindavan through figures like Akbar, Aurangzeb, the Rajputs, and Shivaji. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

Darling, make no mistake.   There's so much of you I crave and care for. My morning gratitude wishes are of you, whatever nightmare you might have put me through a sweaty night.   I've learnt the hard way that married life is less a game of naughts and crosses, and more of remembrances and erasures. Because the burden of memory in a marriage is Krishna's Butterball rock in Mahabalipura, balancing on a point.   But, gosh, how much you can cry. Tears are your inbuilt bazookas. And your hysteria is no match to the desperation in my rising voice. And we find reason jettisoned, and notion & conjecture reigning. We become our speculation of each other. We make each other the worst versions of ourselves.   You want primacy - to both have the headlights shine on you - and be the headlamp. And I acknowledge it - the moment you see the softness in my eyes and I slip my hand in yours, it's me feeling gushy inside. You have my heart, my fealty, my side, my air, my breath. And then you start off on what's wrong. The fantasy of what's wrong. The perception, the illusion. And I am gobsmacked. What is the genesis of it all? Here we were, happy, sentimental, beautiful together. And then - bam! - the genefluction.   What is the genesis of this reverse alchemy? Golden evenings descend into ironic discussions on you not being acknowledged enough; stellar afternoons drift into brassy discussions of how I fall short on your parameters: you clearly remember everything I've done wrong, not the effort I've put in to be the imperfect but hardworking lover.   And then I ask - why are we together? What are we doing with each other if we can't be wild roses in our most intimate moments, when I have to hold back afraid of what you'd think, when our conversation is of need and not comfort. When you don't believe me, and I can't ever know why you don't.   When all that we are and all that we need, alas, are different things, where, pray tell me, where is our meeting point? Where do we go, my love, where do we go from here?   If you liked this poem, consider listening to these other poems on the frustrations of love -  I Should Have Loved More Wisely (they say) Love's Night of the Long Knives Distances (Kaifi Azmi ke liye) Subscribe to my newsletter 'The Uncuts' Follow me on Instagram at @sunilgivesup.

“Kamsa was the son of Ugrasena, of the Bhoja dynasty. It is said that Kamsa was the most demonic of all the Bhoja dynasty kings. Immediately after hearing the prophecy from the sky, he caught hold of Devaki's hair and was just about to kill her with his sword.” (Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Volume 1, Chapter 1)

Kṛṣṇa has already an intimate relationship with all living beings, because he's feeding them. Nityo nityānām cetanaś cetanānām eko bahūnām yo vidadhāti kāmān—He feeds everybody, and there's not one person you can find anywhere that doesn't have food available to him or her, because Krishna is all-powerful, and he's feeding every living being. But he wants more than that; not just this "supply and demand" because I'm hungry. He wants love, and he wants to extract the love that's dormant within the heart of every living being. Therefore, he sets up this elaborate ruse that he performs to demote Indra. That's just another reason that he performs the pastime. Indra became proud, and that's the death knell to bhakti. Pride comes in various forms, and one of them is entitlement. In fact, Yamunā Devī, one of the famous disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda, preached heavily in her final days that we should beware of entitlement. That is, I think, because of my stature (whatever I may think that is), there are various ways we can get it into our head that we deserve more than others. Of course, there's etiquette, and we observe that; we're not communists. But if I have in my head that I deserve something, then it's very hard for me to appreciate anything. And this entitlement that pollutes the mind and consciousness had gotten into the mind and consciousness of Indra, and he thought, "I deserve that offering of the cowherd men." And if you've ever thought you deserve something and then you didn't get it, doesn't it cause anguish? ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #govardhanpuja #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

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 3 Text 9 pāñca-bhautikatātītaṁ sva-dehaṁ kalayan raveḥ nirbhidya maṇḍalaṁ gacchann ūrdhvaṁ lokān vyalokayam TRANSLATION I then saw my body change into a form transcendental to the five material elements. And as I traveled upward, breaking through the sphere of the sun, I saw all the planetary systems.

  In this episode, Swamiji shares the inspiring story of Joni Eareckson Tada, who became a quadriplegic at 17 after a diving accident. Her journey from anger, depression, and suicidal thoughts to becoming an acclaimed author, artist, and founder of a global disability ministry illustrates the power of resilience. Joni explains that her secret lies in disciplining herself to give thanks in all circumstances — gratitude became her reflex reaction.  Swamiji connects this attitude to Krishna's wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita (5.1), where He teaches Arjun that yogis renounce attachment and perform actions with body, senses, mind, and intellect solely for purification. True success, Swamiji explains, is measured not by external achievements but by inner purification. Elevated yogis welcome adversity as opportunities to cleanse the heart, remaining equanimous in success and failure, fame and infamy, comfort and discomfort.  This teaching matters because it reframes setbacks as divine gifts for growth. By cultivating gratitude and focusing on purification, seekers can rise stronger from adversity, awaken their inner power, and progress steadily toward liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.   

  In this episode, Swamiji explains how many of life's problems appear overwhelming not because of their actual size, but because of the size we give them in our own minds. He begins with humorous and revealing stories — like the Mensa members overcomplicating a simple salt‑and‑pepper mix‑up, and a cargo truck stuck under a bridge that was freed by a child's simple idea of letting air out of the tires.  Swamiji emphasizes that our brilliant minds often complicate what could be solved with simplicity. He urges seekers to pause and ask: Am I making this harder than it really is? Am I looking for a clever answer instead of the right one?  Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 16, Verse 1), Swamiji highlights saintly virtues such as fearlessness, purity of mind, steadfastness in spiritual knowledge, charity, and straightforwardness. He explains that true strength comes from reframing challenges — not making mountains out of molehills, but seeing difficulties as opportunities for growth.  Swamiji concludes with Krishna's practical formula:  Don't let the mind make problems bigger than they are.  Don't overthink into more stress.  Ask yourself, could it have been worse?  Always look for the simpler solution.  This teaching matters because it empowers seekers to live with clarity and peace, turning crises into manageable situations and cultivating divine virtues in everyday life.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

  In this episode, Swamiji explains Krishna's teaching on the extraordinary power of the human mind and how it can be harnessed to overcome even the most difficult challenges. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita, he emphasizes that setbacks are inevitable in life, but they need not defeat us if we cultivate the right mental attitude.  Swamiji shares real‑life stories and scriptural insights to show how resilience, determination, and faith transform obstacles into opportunities. He explains that the mind, when disciplined and aligned with dharma, becomes our greatest ally. Krishna assures that those who dedicate their thoughts and actions to Him gain inner strength that allows them to rise above adversity.  Through practical guidance, Swamiji highlights how to train the mind:  Replace negative self‑talk with positive, God‑centered thoughts.  Focus on effort rather than obsessing over results.  Practice meditation and devotion to anchor the mind in higher purpose.  Listeners are encouraged to see setbacks as divine training, cultivating patience and perseverance. This teaching matters because it empowers seekers to live courageously, transform failures into stepping stones, and progress steadily toward liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

  In this third episode of the Narad Bhakti Sutra series, Swami Mukundananda explains that the true devotee does not lament over losses, crave for gains, or become disturbed by worldly fluctuations. Bhakti steadies the heart, making it free from sorrow and restlessness.  Swamiji highlights that when devotion becomes the very heartbeat of life, the soul rises above material attachments. He draws from Narad's teachings to show that lamentation and craving are symptoms of identifying with the temporary world, while bhakti connects us to the eternal joy of Shree Krishna.  For seekers, this episode is a reminder that devotion is the cure for inner turmoil. By cultivating bhakti, one transcends grief and desire, experiencing peace, stability, and liberation through Krishna's grace.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

  In this fourth episode of the Narad Bhakti Sutra series, Swami Mukundananda narrates the astonishing story of Shree Bihari Ji in Vrindavan, where the Lord Himself appeared in court to testify for His devotee. This miracle reveals that deity worship is not about stone or ritual — it is a living connection with God when performed with sincerity.  Swamiji emphasizes that what truly counts in devotion is bhav — the heartfelt sentiment of love for Krishna. He explains how saints and devotees across ages have experienced divine reciprocation through idols and sacred forms, because the Lord is all‑pervading and responds to genuine love. Even Krishna's cowherd friends and the gopis, who addressed Him playfully as “Kana” or even “lungar” (loafer), attained the highest spiritual states through their pure affection.  For seekers, this episode highlights that devotion is not about external form but inner sincerity. By cultivating pure bhav in deity worship, one can experience Krishna's living presence, divine miracles, and ultimately liberation through His boundless grace.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

  In this fifth episode of the Narad Bhakti Sutra series, Swami Mukundananda explains that no worldly power, wealth, or relationship can provide lasting security. Only God, through His grace, can truly protect us from life's uncertainties. Swamiji emphasizes that surrendering to Shree Krishna with faith and devotion removes fear of the future and anchors the soul in divine assurance.  He narrates how saints and devotees, despite facing challenges, remained fearless because of their unwavering bhakti. When devotion becomes the heart of life, one realizes that God alone is the eternal protector. This truth liberates the devotee from anxiety, lamentation, and craving, filling life with peace and confidence.  For seekers, this episode is a reminder that bhakti is not just worship but trust — the conviction that Krishna's shelter is the only true refuge. By cultivating devotion and surrender, one experiences divine protection, inner strength, and ultimate liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

In Chapter 3, Verse 21 of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Shri Krishna deepens the teaching on right action by highlighting the importance of choosing the right role models. Great personalities—who think long-term, are inclusive, and live with Presence—inspire us to evolve from good to great to Divine, becoming peaceful within and prosperous without.➡️ To maximize your experience of this season, we encourage you to request your FREE copy of the Essential Love eBook.

“It is thus that He became known as Damodara, for being bound by a rope.” (Vishnu Purana, 5.6.20)

This week, Kris speaks of the Bhagavad Gita, a ancient, sacred Hindu story. The story relates how the the God Krishna councils a mortal hero, Arjuna, as he hesitates before heading into battle. Aldous Huxley believed that the Bhagavad Gita contains a "perennial philosophy" that has value to all humanity. Here, Kris explains how the five main ideas presented by Krishna can be of huge value to us all as we search for fulfilment in life.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 234 śrī-bhagavān uvāca nija-priya-tamāṁ yāhi māthurīṁ tāṁ vraja-kṣitim tat-tan-mat-parama-krīḍā- sthaly-āvali-vibhūṣitām TRANSLATION The blessed Lord said: Go to Mathurā, to your dearest pasturing grounds, to the land adorned with many places of My varied supreme pastimes.

In this lively podcast episode, the hosts delve into various conspiracy theories, starting with Arjuna's take on the NFL being scripted for business reasons. They explore the intersection of sports and business, discussing how decisions are made behind the scenes. Krishna presents a theory about whether we are living inside a black hole, while Ravi introduces the giant hole in Antarctica and its connections to other conspiracies. The conversation also touches on pop culture theories, including Disney's Frozen and the implications of Stranger Things. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the impact of conspiracy theories on society and the entertainment industry.

In this late-night edition of The Vital Point, host Jonathan Schecter sits down with author and spiritual thinker Bob Peck for an expansive dialogue on awakening, integration, and the universality of mystical truth. The episode begins by exploring Bob's book Original Sin is a Lie, in which he unpacks how spiritual messages across traditions—Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and others—point to the same essential truths beneath cultural dogma.As the conversation flows, the two dive into the mythic life of the Tibetan yogi Milarepa- the murderer-turned-enlightened-yogi—and what his story reveals about karma, practice, and liberation. The dialogue is candid and layered, mixing personal anecdotes, spiritual humility, and mythic storytelling with critical reflections on religious rigidity, spiritual bypassing, and the psychedelic path. Whether you're a devoted practitioner or spiritually curious, this episode invites you to remember: it's all a dream—and the practice is the point.

Never Lose Hope: Krishna's Teaching on Divine Transformation — Bhagavad Gita for Everyday Living by Swami Mukundananda  In this episode, Swamiji narrates the inspiring story of a young man whose life was transformed in a single moment by God's grace. Once lost in despair and destructive habits, he experienced a profound inner shift when he turned to the Lord with sincerity. Swamiji uses this real-life example to emphasize Krishna's assurance in the Bhagavad Gita: no matter how far one has strayed, divine compassion can uplift and redeem instantly.  Swamiji explains that hope is not mere optimism, but a spiritual conviction rooted in Krishna's promise. He highlights how prayer, surrender, and devotion awaken the Lord's grace, enabling seekers to overcome even the darkest trials. This teaching reminds us that transformation is always possible, and that the Lord never abandons those who seek Him wholeheartedly.  Listeners are encouraged to hold on to hope, even in moments of despair, knowing that Krishna's mercy can change the course of life in an instant. This episode matters because it instills courage, faith, and resilience, guiding seekers toward liberation and spiritual growth.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.  

  In this episode, Swamiji reveals Shree Krishna's timeless formula for mastering focus and achieving success. He begins with the inspiring story of a young boy who, despite losing his left arm, mastered judo by learning just one throw. His weakness became his greatest strength, teaching us that single‑pointed focus can transform limitations into victories.  Swamiji further illustrates the power of attention with vivid examples — from laser beams cutting through diamonds to everyday mistakes caused by scattered minds. He shares humorous anecdotes, like the florist's mix‑up, to show how lack of focus leads to errors, while disciplined concentration unlocks extraordinary potential.  Drawing from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, verses 19–21, Swamiji explains Krishna's teaching that a yogi's mind, like a lamp in a windless place, remains steady when absorbed in meditation. Such focus leads to samadhi, where one experiences boundless divine bliss and never deviates from eternal truth.  This episode matters because it shows seekers how to overcome distractions, channel their energy, and align their intellect with Krishna's wisdom. By cultivating razor‑sharp focus through devotion and meditation, one can achieve goals faster, live purposefully, and progress toward liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

  In this episode, Swamiji explains why hard work sometimes fails to yield the expected results and how Krishna redefines success in the Bhagavad Gita. He begins with the story of Eugen Herrigel learning archery under Master Awa Kenzo, who taught him to focus on the process rather than obsessing over hitting the target. Kenzo's mastery — demonstrated by hitting a double bullseye blindfolded — illustrates that true success comes from perfecting effort, not chasing outcomes.  Swamiji connects this lesson to Krishna's counsel to Arjun in Chapter 2, Verse 47: “You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions.” He explains that results depend on many factors — destiny, the will of God, the efforts of others, circumstances, and luck. By tying happiness to outcomes, we invite stress and disappointment. Instead, Krishna urges seekers to focus solely on sincere effort, which paradoxically improves results while freeing us from anxiety.  Swamiji also warns against “destination addiction,” the belief that happiness lies in the next achievement or milestone. He emphasizes that fulfillment is woven into each step of the journey, not waiting at the finish line. When we embrace nishkam karma — selfless action without attachment to results — we discover joy, mastery, and peace in the present moment.  This teaching matters because it transforms how we view success. By detaching from outcomes and dedicating our efforts to Krishna, we live with resilience, clarity, and spiritual purpose, experiencing true fulfillment beyond worldly recognition.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

  In this episode, Swamiji recounts his trek to Yamunotri, where he encountered ascetics living in caves under extreme conditions. Despite freezing winters and meager resources, these yogis displayed astonishing discipline and the ability to deny bodily pleasures for the sake of spiritual purification. Their resilience illustrates the power of willpower when directed toward higher goals.  Swamiji connects this experience to Krishna's declaration in the Bhagavad Gita (7.9): “I am the fragrance of the earth, the brilliance in fire, the life force in all beings, and the penance of the ascetics.” He explains that the strength to endure austerities and resist temptations flows directly from the Lord. Even modern science acknowledges the role of the prefrontal cortex in overriding impulses, yet Krishna is the ultimate source behind this faculty.  Through vivid analogies — the aroma of the earth after rains, the brilliance of fire that illuminates, and the yogis' ability to embrace austerity — Swamiji shows how everyday experiences point to God's presence. He concludes that recognizing Krishna as the source of willpower empowers seekers to cultivate discipline, overcome desires, and live with spiritual focus.  This teaching matters because it transforms how we view self‑control: not as a burden, but as divine strength flowing through us. By surrendering to Krishna, seekers can harness superhuman willpower to progress steadily toward liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Chapter 3, Verse 9 of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita explores the theme of dedication, as Shri Krishna explains that our attitude in action matters just as much as our intention. By engaging in selfless and dedicated actions, we dissolve the ego and sense of separation, experiencing true freedom—while selfish actions only deepen our limitations. ➡️ To maximize your experience of this season, we encourage you to request your FREE copy of the Essential Love eBook.

Is a monk living in a temple necessarily deeper than someone living an ordinary life in the world—or could it be the other way around? In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that question through Brother Lawrence's realization that you don't have to leave ordinary life to find God—you only have to bring God into ordinary life. That insight opens directly into the stunning conclusion of Krishna's childhood pastimes in the Tenth Canto of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, where after humbling Brahmā with cosmic revelation, Krishna returns to the simplest childhood games, revealing that the deepest exchange of love doesn't require grandeur at all. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

Sought through prayer, meditation, and the chanting of the Holy Names to improve our conscious contact with Krishna, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

Kṛṣṇa has this inclination: He is ready to pour out mercy unlimitedly to any personality. We find the key here in Prahlāda Mahārāja, that if one imbibes this mood of service for service, then that's the moment we feel satisfied, but that's also the moment Kṛṣṇa takes notice of us and unleashes an ocean of mercy into our lives. For devotees who realize that this is our eternal relationship, they can't do enough at every second to give to Kṛṣṇa, because ātmānaṁ akhilātmanāṁ—the principle is, He's the soul of our soul. So, it's a practical realization in the end to know the science: sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa- sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate This is called devotional service (bhakti) when you realize that my senses actually belong to Kṛṣṇa, and everything else belongs to Kṛṣṇa, and therefore I'll use everything in His service. And in the process, we purify our senses. Also, Kṛṣṇa gives us His unlimited mercy, and it never stops; it keeps increasing. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

Simone Weil's razor-sharp insight cracks open this episode: we glamorize imaginary evil and underestimate how powerful real goodness actually is. Raghunath and Kaustubha reflect on goth culture, mob movies, Nagababas, and kirtan festivals as they contrast the "cool darkness" our minds romanticize with the deep, surprising joy of a life given to Krishna. Along the way, Lord Brahmā's prayers in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14 expose how our homes, families, and attachments can either imprison us—or become our path to liberation. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?
