In this episode, Swamiji explains the profound concept of the soul's journey through different bodies, as taught by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita.

Swamiji highlights how understanding transmigration helps seekers overcome fear of death and attachment to the temporary body.

Pranadhana Jivana Kunja Bihari – Pad Vyakhyas Series by Swami Mukundananda In this Pad Vyakhya, Swami Mukundananda lovingly explains and sings the devotional pad “Pranadhana Jivana Kunja Bihari” composed by Shree Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj. This pad is a heartfelt glorification of Lord Krishna as the very life, wealth, and soul of the devotee — the Kunja Bihari who enchants the heart with His divine pastimes. Swamiji begins by unfolding the lyrical beauty of Maharaji's composition, showing how the devotee sees Krishna not as separate but as the very essence of existence. He emphasizes that Krishna is the “pranadhana” — the wealth of life itself — and that true fulfillment comes only through loving remembrance of Him. Through melodic exposition and deep commentary, Swamiji highlights how Maharaji's verses inspire seekers to cultivate exclusive devotion, seeing Krishna as the ultimate refuge and joy. Throughout the discourse, Swamiji shares key tattvagyan: the futility of worldly attachments, the bliss of divine remembrance, and the transformative power of surrender. He explains how Maharaji's pad guides seekers to shift their identity from material pursuits to spiritual consciousness, where Krishna becomes the center of all thoughts and actions. The bhajan's melody, combined with Swamiji's explanation, creates a devotional atmosphere that uplifts the heart and inspires listeners to embrace Krishna as their very life force. Why it matters: This Pad Vyakhya teaches that true wealth is not external but lies in devotion to Krishna. By relishing Maharaji's pad and Swamiji's exposition, devotees gain both the sweetness of bhakti and the clarity of spiritual philosophy — nurturing their journey toward transformation and liberation.

“When Lord Brahma was perplexed about how to construct the material manifestations in the universe and went down within the water to find out the means and the source of his lotus seat, he heard the word tapa vibrated twice. Taking the path of tapa is the second birth of the desiring disciple. The word upashrinot is very significant. It is similar to upanayana, or bringing the disciple nearer to the spiritual master for the path of tapa. So Brahmaji was thus initiated by Lord Krishna, and this fact is corroborated by Brahmaji himself in his book the Brahma-samhita.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 2.9.6 Purport)
