Cc Madhya 24.334-355 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/24/advanced-view/ ------------------------------------------------------------ As soon as I wake up, the first thing I do is I say Prabhupāda's praṇāma mantra: namo om viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe Following that, I chant the Pañca-tattva Mahā-mantra: Jaya Śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya Prabhu Nityānanda, Śrī-Advaita Gadādhara Śrīvāsādi-gaura-bhakta-vṛnda. Then, I chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahā-mantra: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare; Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. The verse from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (SB 10.90.48): jayati jana-nivāso devakī-janma-vādo yadu-vara-pariṣat svair dorbhir asyann adharmam sthira-cara-vṛjina-ghnaḥ su-smita-śrī-mukhena vraja-pura-vanitānāṁ vardhayan kāma-devam I say all those before I swing my legs out of the bed. Then, before I put my right foot on the floor, I say, "Oh, Mother Bhūmi, please forgive me for stepping on your surface." Then as soon as I have two feet on the floor, I say, "Thank you, Śrīla Prabhupāda." And then whoever I feel gratitude for at that time, I start saying thank you to them. It's usually God brothers, or whomever happens to be fresh in my mind when I take a moment of gratitude before I stand up. That prayer, Jayati jana-nivāso, has a history to it, but it's in the paddhati as one of the prayers that one may say upon waking up. So is asking Mother Bhūmi for forgiveness for stepping on her surface. It adds something special: a reminder of how good she is to us and how abundant the world is—that Mother Bhūmi, "Please forgive me for stepping on your surface"—and also treading lightly, being careful wherever we go. So those are what I say when I wake up in the morning (28:53).

Cc Madhya 24.327-331 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/24/advanced-view/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Transcendental necessities really have to do with being able to remove the doubts of a disciple. It's the main point, and it's an intuitive process, because for a disciple, Kṛṣṇa comes in the form of a particular spiritual master locally. As Prabhupāda said, "Spiritual master means a post and also means a person." And the way one ascertains, and does ascertain, that one is getting one's spiritual necessities is by hearing. Generally, people are in a bewildered state in this world, and they're also depressed, and they're also unlucky, and they're also always disturbed. But by hearing from a bona fide spiritual master, one starts to feel lucky again. One comes out of depression. One feels optimistic, and it's that upliftment that generally informs a person or inspires a person to say, "Oh, I'm feeling improved by listening here." And whether it's the Dīkṣā-guru or śikṣā-guru, it's like, "I'm getting enlivened by this. This is the good old spiritual influence that I've always been looking for, and that I've maybe had before. Now I'm feeling it again," whatever it may be. But it's visceral, and it's internalized by a person, by hearing, and all necessities are fulfilled by hearing. I mean, even on a material platform, as Prabhupāda points out in the Third Canto of the Bhāgavatam, what to speak of spiritually. So if the quality of the person is coming through in their talks, in their speech, and the person is feeling uplifted, then that fulfills that requirement—that should be able to deliver the necessities, to remove the doubts. If you look carefully at this passage about the Mahā-bhāgavata, you'll be surprised. In fact, it's used as a counter to those who opine that the way of becoming a guru requires such a lofty conception that only Nityānanda Prabhu or maybe Queen Kuntī could possibly initiate anybody or be involved in the process. But listen what Prabhupāda says here (Cc Madhya 24.330).

Cc Madhya 24.278-326 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/24/ ------------------------------------------------------------ I read in the Śrī Bhaktisiddhānta Vaibhava that when devotees got a windfall, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta liked them to spend the money on preaching. He didn't like them to get fat and have lots of money. He wanted them to feel that "we have to depend on Kṛṣṇa." That's why it's nice to spend all your money on books and then distribute them all and start over. It gives that feeling of full dependence on Kṛṣṇa. When Caitanya Mahāprabhu, in the Caitanya Bhāgavata, had taken sannyās and He goes out wandering, He brings His followers with Him. As they began the journey, He turned to them and said, "Did you bring anything?" And they said, "Oh, my Lord, You didn't tell us to bring anything." He said, "Very good, because I want you to observe that although the universe is filled up with food and money, people get only what they deserve, and that Kṛṣṇa is sustaining us wherever we go." Once I interviewed Mahātma Prabhu about the early days of preaching, and he said, once Prabhupāda put out an edict that "anybody who goes out preaching and traveling to preach who doesn't care for personal maintenance, then, I guarantee they'll go back to Godhead." I forget what the exact benediction was, but it was something extremely lofty. And he said, "We all just jumped in the van in the middle of winter and took off for the North." He tells the whole story about how they got to some tiny, little town. It was in Canada. It was blizzard conditions, and there was some drunk guy. The only guy on the street was drunk. He ended up buying a book. And then they wondered where to stay, and they were looking around, and they just happened to find a door with a sign on it. They went in there, and it was full facility. Everywhere they went, they found that kind of facility. That Prabhupāda's mood, sort of as Svarūpa Dāmodara said, after Lord Caitanya took sannyās, he said, "I became mad." So Prabhupāda had that kind of spiritual madness, too. I heard he brought a little bag of oats or something, in case there was nothing to eat.

Cc Madhya 24.221-277 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/24/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Question: How to fully forgive those who insult us or obstruct our seva when we are still unable to overcome feelings of pain and anger. Excerpt from the answer: You could take Mahātmā Prabhu's seminar on how to forgive. Lots of people have spoken about forgiveness. Mahātmā Prabhu, in the devotee context talks about it. But one thing is, forgiving doesn't mean that you condone what people have done; forgiving is for you to let it go so that you can move on. Prabhupāda gave an instruction to Peter Burwash. He was a businessman who ran Peter Burwash International. It was a big, huge tennis company; it taught people how to play tennis. He was a devotee, but he never got initiated. In Hawaii, he got a lot of association with Prabhupāda. He signed up as a life member one afternoon, and the next morning, he found out that the devotee he gave his money to had absconded. He became so disturbed and angry, and he went to talk to Prabhupāda about it. Prabhupāda gave him this instruction that he kept for the rest of his life. He used to give seminars and he would always start with this instruction that Prabhupāda said, "Don't be angry with the instrument of your karma." And he took it to heart. So if one takes whatever happens—it doesn't mean, of course, you don't do due diligence. If somebody has abused you or is bullying you, you have to do your due diligence. It doesn't mean to become a doormat to forgive, but internally, one can become highly philosophical and think that 'whatever comes to me, it's by Kṛṣṇa's arrangement. Perhaps I'm paying back a debt from my last life,' and Kṛṣṇa gives this permission, or the śāstra does, to take it as a lesson and just let it go. So it takes a little practice and some philosophical underpinning.

The other thing that Asita Kṛṣṇa Mahārāja said that I've been thinking about a lot lately, is some of the devotees who say Śrīla Prabhupāda only gave us the ABCs. It hurts my heart. I was here for three weeks. We read the Madhya-līlā, of the Caitanya-caritāmṛta. And if anyone has read that, or read the purports that Śrīla Prabhupāda wrote, they could never, ever say such an offensive thing. Prabhupāda gave us everything, and it's up to us to purify our hearts so that we can understand it. When you read the pastimes in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Kṛṣṇa dāsa Kavirāja speaks about it, "according to the level of the devotees who participated in the pastimes, they could understand or they could see." So Prabhupāda said, and I believe that, and I now believe it even more firmly: 'I have given you everything. Everything is in my books,' if we have faith in that, and we read Śrīla Prabhupāda's books, and we read them together. That was the other nice thing about being here. During those readings, we discuss, we ask questions, we unpack, and it's so helpful for for me, as you know, as as an individual, pretty dull-headed, to hear the realizations and the questions that the others bring up. It's absolutely wonderful! If you have facility in your communities to start reading groups, if you don't already have them, I fully support that, because it really helps us to come close to Prabhupāda, to understand Śrīla Prabhupāda, what he has done for us by taking the time. He didn't sleep much, he traveled the world, and still he gave us these purports, translated these books, managed a movement—a fledgling movement of teenagers and twenty-something-year-olds who had come with no Vedic training, no training at all, pretty much, you know, as we heard about the apple or the date. We didn't, we didn't have the basic training. But everything I have, everything I am, it's Śrīla Prabhupāda's mercy. And I know that many, or all of you feel the same way. My whole life, Śrīla Prabhupāda gave me. So I'm grateful. I have so much gratitude, and I'm working to have even more gratitude, because it's unfathomable what Śrīla Prabhupāda has given me. When I was young..

En Exquisita Menorca celebramos la excelente cosecha obtenida este año por los productores de aceite de oliva virgen de la isla, un hito especialmente relevante porque se trata de la primera campaña recogida bajo el distintivo de Indicación Geográfica Protegida (IGP) Aceite de Menorca. Este reconocimiento no solo pone en valor la calidad del producto, sino también su singularidad: es la única IGP de España con producción totalmente ecológica.La cosecha de este año ha sido calificada como muy positiva, tanto por la cantidad como por la calidad del aceite obtenido. Supone un magnífico punto de partida para el desarrollo del sector oleícola menorquín, que se consolida como un nuevo referente de la producción agraria de la isla.El presidente de la Asociación de Productores de Aceite de Menorca, Manuel Martínez, ha compartido algunas cifras y reflexiones sobre el cultivo de la aceituna en la isla. Explica que el próximo año podría ser aún mejor, ya que muchos olivares cuentan todavía con árboles jóvenes que todavía no producen a pleno rendimiento. Martínez subraya que el objetivo a medio plazo es que el aceite de Menorca siga un camino similar al del queso Mahón-Menorca, que consiguió convertirse en una Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) gracias a la unión y esfuerzo del sector.En la actualidad, la isla dispone de tres almazaras para procesar el aceite, aunque se prevé que este número aumente en los próximos años para atender la creciente demanda. Eso sí, el modelo será el de almazaras pequeñas o medianas, adaptadas a la escala de producción local y a los valores de sostenibilidad que definen al producto.Según las estimaciones, este año podrían alcanzarse alrededor de 15.000 litros de aceite virgen extra, un volumen que marca el inicio prometedor de una nueva etapa para el aceite de Menorca con IGP.

There is a section in the Third Canto of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, in which Vidura asked some questions to Uddhava. And Uddhava, before he can answer, has to pull himself away from the spiritual world. He is standing on this earth, but he has to pull himself away consciously from the spiritual world to be able to answer Vidura. This is something that the ācāryas note: that when one becomes perfect in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, although we may be walking on this earthly planet, still, our consciousness is fully engaged in Kṛṣṇa's pastimes in the spiritual world. So this was Uddhava, who is very, very dear to Lord Kṛṣṇa, who carried the message for Kṛṣṇa, who discovered the greatest devotees and commemorated it by his prayers that he wrote glorifying the gopīs of Vṛndāvana. And here we are, Uddhava Kuṇḍa. We can also pray that somehow or other, we can get the dust of the feet of the great devotees. When we were driving in the rickshaw, somehow we took a shortcut. We drove across a dusty road, and I could hear that Sudhīr Mādhava was joking in the front seat about how we were getting a rajo-'bhiṣekam. Do you know what that is? It's a dust bath. And that's my final point: what is most recommended for advancement in devotional service? rahūgaṇaitat tapasā na yāti na cejyayā nirvapaṇād gṛhād vā This comes from the story in Fifth Canto with Mahārāja Rahūgaṇa and Jaḍa Bharata (SB 5.12.12), who says that you can't make advancement in this world by simply performing severe austerities. Some Yogīs, they sit in cold water up to their neck, or they sit around hot fire in the summertime, or they decide not to eat for long periods of time—whatever austerity somebody takes up, he said, "This is not how you make spiritual advancement." He says, "Until you get the rajo-'bhiṣeka, the dust bath from the feet of a pure devotee, that's when you make advancement." On a very practical level, this means to take up some service in the guru-pranāli-paramparā, become the servant of the servant of the servant of the servant. This is the method by which we can go back home, back to Godhead, following the mood of Śrī Uddhava: that let me be insignificant in service, not be insignificant, but to feel insignificant, and then become significant by taking the dust from the feet of the great devotees, meaning that I absorb myself in their mood and method for practicing Kṛṣṇa consciousness and spreading it all over the world. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

The means for making advancement towards the spiritual world are mentioned in the 10th Canto of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (SB 10.2.30): tvayy ambujākṣākhila-sattva-dhāmni samādhināveśita-cetasaike tvat-pāda-potena mahat-kṛtena kurvanti govatsa-padaṁ bhavābdhim Say the demigods, meditating on Lord Kṛṣṇa, praying to Him within the womb that one should have one-pointed attention on Kṛṣṇa (samādhināveśita-cetasaike)." And then they say, "We can achieve that by following Kṛṣṇa's and his representative's instructions: tvat-pāda-potena mahat-kṛtena." The Mahat, those who are great souls, Mahātmanas tu māṁ Pārtha (Kṛṣṇa says), "They are following My process," and that means we should respect the process that's passed down to us. That includes the vows we're taking, and always keep those as your life and soul. You'll be taking vows today, so keep those as your mainstay in life. The way that you are able to maintain your life airs is by following your vows: chanting at least 16 rounds, avoiding the four prohibited activities, and being diligent in chanting your Gāyatrī mantras and so forth. And if we can do that, follow the simple process strictly, says Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākur. He quotes from śāstra in the Bhajana Rahasya: "Take the simple path. You don't have to invent anything else; nothing fancy needed. Just follow the simple path.

Doch aufgrund der brutalen Unterdrückung durch die Kommunistische Partei Chinas (KPCh) und der weit verbreiteten Verleumdung dieser Praxis hatte sie Angst und hörte mit dem Praktizieren auf. Sie lebte wie ein gewöhnlicher Mensch – sie sah fern, spielte Karten und Mah-jongg. So vergingen 26 Jahre wie im Flug. Mutters Sehvermögen und ihr Gehör verschlechterten sich und auch die Beine versagten ihren Dienst. Dass sie dadurch an ihr Zuhause gefesselt war, deprimierte sie sehr. https://de.minghui.org/html/articles/2025/10/11/188051.html

CC Madhya 19.118-154 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/19/advanced-view/ ------------------------------------------------------------ I had long conversations with Rādhikā Ramaṇa Prabhu when we stayed with him the year Sādhu Saṅga was in Utah. Rādhikā was saying it's the glory of a person, and it makes them more glorified when those after them first of all choose to write about the materials following that luminary. He gave the example of Shakespeare. How many thesis papers have there been in the humanities department about any of Shakespeare's works or his life in general? Millions. And did that eclipse Shakespeare's writings? No. On the contrary, it's a light shining on them saying, "Wow, so many people were writing about him and, you know, taking points from his writings that he must be like the super guy," and he is in literary history. So his point was, after every ācārya, there are always thousands of commentaries. We only see a few of them, but there are thousands of writings about any luminary, any of the mahātmās who have written, and so forth, and it glorifies them, because, of course, that person made a stir, they hit a nerve. They actually had something potent to say, and therefore there's a lot more to say about it and a lot more to churn within what they said. Therefore his opinion was and is, that it's the glory of Prabhupāda that more people write about what he said and what he brought to bear—the whole canon of Vedic literatures—and how we can bring it into the modern light so that people can take advantage of it. That shows Prabhupāda's potency. And case in point was the Bṛhad Bhāgavatāmṛta, because Joseph T. O'Connell, who at the time was the preeminent expert on Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavism in the academic world, if you read his foreword to the book, he says that very thing: that nobody in the world up to this point, after hundreds of years, has been able to do what Gopīparāṇadhana Prabhu has done, which is to effectively translate what Sanātana Gosvāmī wrote as prose, as commentary, he wrote in Sanskrit, and nobody had been able to take it and put it into a natural flow of language that people could read and understand. And He said it's perfectly done. He said, "This points to the greatness of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swami Prabhupāda, that he could attract and then train disciples who could do that." What to speak of how the devotees headed by Hṛdayānanda Mahārāja were able to finish the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Cantos of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, which sometimes people say, "Oh, you don't read those. They're not Prabhupāda's books." But my opinion is, they're as much Prabhupāda's books as before that, because who trained them to talk like that and have a perfect grasp of the siddhānta and to be able to present it in the same mood that comes through the disciplic succession? It shines a light on the greatness of Prabhupāda that somebody was able to be there and continue that, as Prabhupāda asked them to do.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 20, 2025 is: etymology • eh-tuh-MAH-luh-jee • noun An etymology is an explanation of a word's history—that is, where the word came from and how it developed. // As a word nerd, I'm always eager to learn a word's etymology and trace it back to its earliest known origins. See the entry > Examples: “A recent Vogue bride, Nicole Amarise, changed her name—as did her husband. ‘Together we opted to create a new one for our new life together,' she says. ‘We gave ChatGPT information about the etymology of our old surnames, and guided it to generate surname options for us that could relate to our heritages and cultures.'” — Shelby Wax, Vogue, 16 Aug. 2025 Did you know? The etymology of etymology itself is relatively straightforward, so we won't bug you with a lengthy explanation. Etymology ultimately comes from the Greek word etymon, meaning “literal meaning of a word according to its origin.” Etymon in turn comes from etymos, which means “true.” Be careful not to confuse etymology with the similar sounding entomology. Entomon means “insect” in Greek, and entomology is a branch of zoology that deals with insects.

Cc Madhya 15.40-127 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/17/advanced-view/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Tapan Miśra was a scholar. He read too many books, and he got confused. And then he met Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was traveling in East Bengal, and he asked him, "What should I do?" He had had a dream that he would meet an effulgent personality. And so, by the Lord's arrangement, he met Caitanya Mahāprabhu as Nimāi Paṇḍit. He had traveled with his students. He amassed wealth. He went and taught everybody, and dominated all the debates, and became famous in East Bengal. And then along the way, he met Tapana Miśra, and Tapana Miśra submitted his sad story: that he was confused. He had just read everything. One should not, Rūpa Gosvāmī says, become a bookworm and read all kinds of books just to have some scriptural advantage over others—to defeat them with your extra special verses that nobody has ever heard of. So Mahāprabhu told him, "You should chant Hare Kṛṣṇa." He took him into his fold. And then, inexplicably, He sent him to Banaras. And everyone said, "What? You got a new bhakta, and you're going to send him to Banaras?" Little did they know that Mahāprabhu was going to circle back there, and He would meet him there and have a big part in his līlā. But that's the way He works. That's the Tapana Miśra story. Audience: I can just imagine Tapana Miśra just there in Banaras, and then Caitanya Mahāprabhu just appears there in this scene. It must have been life-changing. HG Vaisesika Dasa: That's the life-changing nature of surrendering to Mahāprabhu. He takes us on a magical mystery journey, I won't say tour, and it's all His mercy.

Cc Madhya 15.170-277 Once you are facing Māyā, then you feel fear and you're disoriented, Budha. But if you're intelligent, ābhajet taṁ bhaktyaikayeśaṁ guru-devatātmā—you should turn back towards Kṛṣṇa through the medium of the spiritual master, who you should consider to be your worshipful deity and your very life and soul. The verse says so. The implication is that one becomes free from that sense of fear that arises from illusion. Like animals are afraid because they're in this existential state of feeling they could be killed at any minute—because they're in illusion. They think they're their body. Dvitīya means the living being thinks he's his body, there's something separate from Kṛṣṇa. So that fear is allayed by taking shelter of the spiritual master and giving one's full attention to Kṛṣṇa. But we discussed last time about the other kind of fear. In the prayers Prahlāda Mahārāja offers to Lord Narasiṁhadev, he says, "trasto 'smy ahaṁ kṛpaṇa-vatsala duḥsahogra-saṁsāra-cakra-kadanād grasatāṁ praṇītaḥ," that I'm not afraid of You, Lord Narasiṁha, like everybody else, but I am afraid of Your Māyā, and that I could fall back into it. So one should be afraid of that. And there's a lot of commentary about that in the Tenth Canto, Second Chapter, because it's mentioned that Devakī was afraid. And then Viśvanātha Cakravartī said, "Very good. You should be afraid. It destroys the anarthas when you're afraid of the material energy, but not the fear that comes from being an object of ignorance. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #sricaitanyacaritamrita #govardhanreadings #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

Cc Madhya 15.277-302 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/15/ I walk into a temple, sometimes I look around and I'll think, like, why are they doing it like this? Why are they doing like that? Why are they offering flowers with no scent? or whatever thing I can find. And I remember Puṇḍarīka Vidyānidhi. You know, the last story in the Caitanya-bhāgavata, Puṇḍarīka Vidyānidhi, who's a paramahaṁsa, he goes to Odana Ṣaṣṭhī, where the Lord gets new clothes. So the pujārīs had put new clothes on Him, but they're still starched, which means they were off the shelf. They just took them off the shelf and offered them to the Lord directly. And he was watching, and he became disgusted, "How dare these pujārīs dress the Lord with the starched garments that are off the shelf!" That night, Puṇḍarīka Vidyānidhi had a dream that Lord Balarāma and Lord Jagannātha came to him, and they said, "How dare you criticize our pujārīs?" And in the dream, they started slapping his face back and forth. The next day, his face was swollen from being smacked. I remember that sometimes when I think, "Didn't they get the memo? It doesn't go there; it goes here." And I think, like, "Hey, these guys have a million times more devotion than you do. Don't try to second-guess who they are." But the reason I ask also is because if you're in a position to find fault, like if you're a temple president, you're free to find fault with—of course, you have to administer your advice systematically in such a way it doesn't disturb people's minds—but it's your duty to walk around and say, "How come there's a crack there?" Like Śivarāma Mahārāja, if you see him in Hungary, he walks around with a white glove, and he'll sweep his hand across a door top or whatever, and say, "Hey, clean this!" So you have to find fault in those cases, but you have to just fine-pick your battles. Like what you said in the beginning, it was one of the Gauḍīya ācāryas had once said. This is in recent times. He said, when asked by an outsider, "What is your religion?" He said, "My religion is to find fault with myself, find my own faults, and to rectify them." So that's a project.

Dans le cosmos qu'est le monde de la joaillerie, GemGenève a construit un univers que j'ai rassemblé dans la 7e saison du podcast thématique de la joaillerie, il était une fois le bijou. Dans cet épisode de podcast, je vous propose d'explorer une nouvelle nébuleuse, celle de l'Art Déco, particulièrement d'actualité en cette année du centenaire de ce mouvement artistique avec Alexandre Fiette, le conservateur d'art appliqué du Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Genève, et Gaël Bonzon , l'adjointe scientifique spécialisée en Art Nouveau - Art Déco. Né dans les années 1920, l'Art Déco s'inspiration de l'Afrique, l'Asie, l'Égypte ancienne, mais aussi des avant-gardes cubistes et futuristes. L'exposition internationale des Arts Décoratifs de Paris en 1925 propulse ce style à travers le monde, jusqu'aux États-Unis, au Japon, au Canada… Chaque pays s'en empare, le transforme et l'adapte à sa culture. En Suisse, une dualité s'installe : la Suisse romande estinfluencée par la France et Paris tandis que la Suisse alémanique se tourne vers un modernisme fonctionnel proche du Bauhaus.L'Art Déco est avant tout un art total, pensé par des créateurs aux multiples talents. Parmi eux, Jean Dunand, artiste genevois emblématique, formé à l'École des Arts Industriels de Genève. Sculpteur, dinandier, laqueur et bijoutier visionnaire, il collabora avec Jeanne Lanvin, Madeleine Vionnet ou encore Joséphine Baker, à qui il offrit un bracelet manchette . Ses créations mêlent métal, laque et oréum, évoquant à la fois les formes tribales africaines et la modernité des gratte-ciel.Le MAH de Genève conserve un ensemble exceptionnel de pièces Art Déco : bijoux, émaux, ferronneries, textiles, mobilier, sculptures ou encore papiers peints. On y retrouve les œuvres de la famille Vanner, maîtres ferronniers, celles des Grandchamps, spécialistes du papier peint ou Robert Piguet expert du batik, ainsi que des pièces rares de Karl Angst, César Bolle ou Percival Pernet. Symbole d'une ère moderne, l'Art Déco incarne aussi la libération féminine. Les femmes, coupent leur cheveux et fument en public et usent d'objets précieux : minaudières, fume-cigarettes et clips de corsage. Les hommesont leur propre parure : boutons de manchettes, étuis à tabac ou porte-cartes en or.Pour le MAH, Alexandre Fiette rêve de trouver une robe de Robert Piguet, grand couturier vaudois des années 1920, tandis que Gaël Bonzon espère découvrir un chapeau laqué de Jean Dunand — des trésors témoignant du génie créatif de cette période. Je suis Anne Desmarest de Jotemps et je donne une voix aux bijoux dans trois podcasts.

Cc Madhya 14.17-100 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/14/ ------------------------------------------------------------ The greatest achievement for a devotee is to become a servant of the servants of the Lord. Actually, no one should desire to become the direct servant of the Lord. That is not a very good idea. When Prahlāda Mahārāja was offered a benediction by Nṛsiṁhadeva, Prahlāda rejected all kinds of material benedictions, but he prayed to become the servant of the servants of the Lord. When Dhruva Mahārāja was offered a benediction by Kuvera, the treasurer of the demigods, Dhruva could have asked for unlimited material opulence, but he simply asked for the benediction of becoming the servant of the servants of the Lord. Kholāvecā Śrīdhara was a very poor man, but when Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted to give him a benediction, he also prayed to the Lord to be allowed to remain a servant of the servants of the Lord. The conclusion is that being the servant of the servants of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the highest benediction one can desire.

Cc Madhya 15.1-41 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/15/advanced-view/ ------------------------------------------------------------ There's the discussion that takes place when Caitanya Mahāprabhu can understand the mind of Sanātana Goswāmī. Sanātana Goswāmī was thinking of killing himself because he had sores on his body, and he was going to jump in front of the Jagannātha cart in the presence of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He didn't tell anybody, but Mahāprabhu, one day at the house of Haridāsa Ṭhākura, said to Sanātana Goswāmī, 'I don't approve of this.' He said, 'If I could have achieved Kṛṣṇa by dying, I would have done it millions of times already.

Cc Madhya 14.1-18 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/14/advanced-view/ ------------------------------------------------------------ I think it's in contention for the best purport. We should have every year the 'Best Purport Awards.' This is what I'm going to enter. (HG Vaisesika Dasa) Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī wants to point out that nothing could compare to the Lord's mercy toward Mahārāja Pratāparudra; therefore he uses the word dekha (“just see”) and caitanyera kṛpā-mahābala (“how powerful is the mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu”). This is also confirmed by Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī: yat-kāruṇya-kaṭākṣa-vaibhava-vatām (Caitanya-candrāmṛta 5). Even a little of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mercy serves as a great asset for spiritual advancement. Therefore the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement must be spread through the mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. When Rūpa Gosvāmī experienced the mercy and magnanimity of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, he said: namo mahā-vadānyāya kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya te kṛṣṇāya kṛṣṇa-caitanya- nāmne gaura-tviṣe namaḥ “I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, who is more magnanimous than any other avatāra, even Kṛṣṇa Himself, because He is bestowing freely what no one else has ever given — pure love of Kṛṣṇa.” Śrīla Locana dāsa Ṭhākura has also sung, parama karuṇa, pahuṅ dui jana, nitāi-gauracandra: “The two brothers Nitāi and Gaura are so kind that no one can compare to Them.” Similarly, Śrīla Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura has sung: vrajendra-nandana yei, śacī-suta haila sei, balarāma ha-ila nitāi, dīna-hīna yata chila, hari-nāme uddhārila, tā'ra sākṣī jagāi-mādhāi “Just to deliver all the sinful persons of this age by propagating the chanting of the holy name, Lord Kṛṣṇa and Lord Balarāma have advented as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityānanda Prabhu. Jagāi and Mādhāi are evidence of Their success.” Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's special mission is the deliverance of all fallen souls in Kali-yuga. Devotees of Kṛṣṇa must persistently seek the favor and mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to become fit to return home, back to Godhead.

Cc Madhya 14.174-257 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/14/advanced-view/ Dressing himself as a Vaiṣṇava, Mahārāja Pratāparudra entered the garden at Balagaṇḍi alone and began reciting verses from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. He then took the opportunity to massage the lotus feet of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. The Lord, in His ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa, immediately embraced the King and thus bestowed mercy upon him. When there was an offering of prasādam in the garden, Lord Caitanya also partook of it. After this, when Lord Jagannātha's ratha car stopped moving, King Pratāparudra called for many elephants to pull it, but they were unsuccessful. Seeing this, Lord Caitanya began to push the car from behind with His head, and the car began moving. Then the devotees began pulling the car with ropes. Near the Guṇḍicā temple is a place known as Āiṭoṭā. This place was fixed up for Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to rest in. When Lord Jagannātha was seated at Sundarācala, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu saw it as Vṛndāvana. He performed sporting pastimes in the water of the lake known as Indradyumna. For nine continuous days during Ratha-yātrā, the Lord remained at Sundarācala, and on the fifth day He and Svarūpa Dāmodara observed the pastimes of Lakṣmī, the goddess of fortune. During that time, there was much talk about the pastimes of the gopīs. When the ratha was again being drawn and the chanting resumed, two devotees from Kulīna-grāma — Rāmānanda Vasu and Satyarāja Khān — were requested to bring silk ropes every year for the Ratha-yātrā ceremony.

Cc Madhya 13.66-137 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/13/advanced-view/ ------------------------------------------------------------ In his Anubhāṣya, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura describes the ecstasy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu as follows. After giving up the company of the gopīs in Vṛndāvana, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the son of Mahārāja Nanda, engaged in His pastimes at Dvārakā. When Kṛṣṇa went to Kurukṣetra with His brother and sister and others from Dvārakā, He again met the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is rādhā-bhāva-dyuti-suvalita, that is, Kṛṣṇa Himself assuming the part of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī in order to understand Kṛṣṇa. Lord Jagannātha-deva is Kṛṣṇa, and Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. Caitanya Mahāprabhu's leading Lord Jagannātha toward the Guṇḍicā temple corresponded to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī's leading Kṛṣṇa toward Vṛndāvana. Śrī Kṣetra, Jagannātha Purī, was taken as the kingdom of Dvārakā, the place where Kṛṣṇa enjoys supreme opulence. But He was being led by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to Vṛndāvana, the simple village where all the inhabitants are filled with ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa. Śrī Kṣetra is a place of aiśvarya-līlā, just as Vṛndāvana is the place of mādhurya-līlā. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's following at the rear of the ratha indicated that Lord Jagannātha, Kṛṣṇa, was forgetting the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana. Although Kṛṣṇa neglected the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana, He could not forget them. Thus in His opulent Ratha-yātrā, He was returning to Vṛndāvana. In the role of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was examining whether the Lord still remembered the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana.

Cc Madhya 10.10-108 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/10/advanced-view/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Physical proximity isn't necessarily the thing that helps, because you can be in somebody's physical proximity, and your mind can be elsewhere. For instance, who's in a better position? Somebody who lives in Delhi, has to work there, has to stay there, and is always thinking about living in Vṛndāvana and hankering for Vṛndāvana? Or someone who moved to Vṛndāvana, but they're thinking, "I wish I could go to Delhi, because I want to go to Haldirām's, have a snack, and watch a football match"? I mean, who's in a better position? Physical proximity? One's in Vṛndāvana, the other one's in Delhi. So your point about, okay, he (Kālā Kṛṣṇa Dāsa) was close to Caitanya Mahāprabhu—but if your mind isn't engaged, then you could be far away and not taking advantage of Mahāprabhu's mercy. The sun is there, but if you cover yourself from it, then you're not able to take advantage of it. Just like with chanting—you can chant and not even be aware that you're chanting. Then that's one of the offenses. You're chanting, and Kṛṣṇa is directly present before you as the avatāra, but then you are thinking about something else—so you are not really there.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 12, 2025 is: imprimatur • im-pruh-MAH-toor • noun Imprimatur is a formal word that refers to explicit approval or permission. // Though not an official project of the theater, the drama festival has its imprimatur. See the entry > Examples: “It is not overstating to say that [Frederick] Douglass was a baseball man. He attended games, supported his sons' involvement, and even played catch with his grandchildren. Douglass's support gave Black baseball an imprimatur of race approval as an activity that uplifted the race. It was not frivolous for Black men to pursue this sport as an avocation, or even as a vocation.” — Gerald Early, Play Harder: The Triumph of Black Baseball in America, 2025 Did you know? Imprimatur means “let it be printed” in New Latin (the Latin used since the end of the medieval period especially in science). It comes from Latin imprimere, meaning “to imprint or impress.” In the 1600s, the word appeared in the front matter of books, accompanied by the name of an official authorizing the book's printing. In time, English speakers began using imprimatur in the general sense of “official approval.”

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 129 śrī-gopa-kumāra uvāca tac chrutvā tatra gatvā taṁ mahā-puruṣam īkṣitum japaṁ kurvaṁs tapo-loke niviṣṭo 'ntaḥ-samādhinā TRANSLATION Śrī Gopa-kumāra said: Hearing this, I wanted to go to that planet and see the Mahāpuruṣa. Seated on Tapoloka, I chanted my mantra and focused my attention in samādhi.

There is a long passage on that in the Bṛhat Bhagavatamṛta, and there, Sanātana Goswāmī gives ample evidence about how the primary process in Kali Yuga is the chanting of the holy names. Jīva Goswāmī also concludes that there are, other processes that we engage in. For instance, arcanam is there in the nine, but he says there that because in this age, the prime method is chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, even with arcanam, it has to be preceded by chanting of the Mahāmantra and followed by chanting the Mahāmantra in order for it to be successful. And that emphasis is there throughout the teachings of the Goswāmīs: that chanting is the primary process. Caitanya Mahāprabhu said it himself when asked, 'Of all the different processes, which completes them all?' And it's the chanting of the holy name of The Lord. As to why it's because it's especially recommended. Because, as an example, the Bhagavatam itself begins by mentioning chanting the holy names and ends with mentioning chanting of the holy names as the means for success. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

Every knowledge system requires axiomatic statements. Otherwise, you can't go anywhere. Axiomatic means they don't require investigation. They're just accepted. And if you don't have that, as Aristotle said, you get infinite regress. You can't go anywhere. It's like troops keep retreating and retreating and retreating, and they never stand and fight. And H. H. Hridayānanda Mahārāja gave the example of this: that someone says, 'What temperature is water? What, 200 degrees, or whatever it is.' I said, 'Prove it.' So then you get water, and you boil it, put a thermometer in, and then it says 200, and then it starts to boil. And you say, 'There, it's proved.' He says, 'Wait a minute, prove that's a real thermometer.' So then you go get a thermometer testing kit, whatever that is, and you test it. You say, 'Okay, it's real.' And then you go, 'Prove that that's a real thermometer testing kit.' And in that way, you keep going back and back and back. There has to be a point at which you have an axiom where this is the source—this is self-revealing. It proves itself. You don't have to investigate it. So, every system has that. In our system of epistemology, the Vedas are apauruṣeya. They're not from a human source. They come directly from the Divine. In fact, they're co-eternal with Kṛṣṇa, and they prove themselves. And of course, Prabhupāda goes into some detail on this in the beginning of the Śrī Īśopaniṣad in this lecture in Albert Hall. He gave this as a premise to say how to understand this philosophy.

Tentokrát se nám sešly samé nádherné gadgety! Špičkový robotický vysavač Roborock Saros Z70 nám nejen vysál stůl, ale také z něj svou robotickou rukou odklidil nedbale pohozený papír, aby jej způsobně odnesl do připraveného odpadkového koše. Užitečná funkce, nebo zbytečná gimmick? Další na řadě je dron HoverAir X1 Pro Max, kterého jsou plné sociální sítě a snaží se tvářit jako jediná slušná konkurence pro téměř-monopolní DJI. Zatím jsme tuhle kvadrokoptéru s vlastní klíckou kolem vrtulí jen rozbalili a na test se teprve chystáme, ale minimálně ten ovladač à la Transformers vypadá hodně cool. K dronu vám nepřidám widget s aktuální cenou, Heureka tuhle značku zatím ignoruje, ale koupíte ji přímo u výrobce (HoverAir.com), nebo ji má skladem Alza. Třetí atraktivní hračkou je tablet plný extrémů. Jmenuje se Blackview Active 12 Pro, má integrovaný projektor, obří baterii o kapacitě 30 000 mAh, skoro až zbytečný 1 TB paměti (existuje i levnější 256GB verze), na zádech je kempingová svítilna a masivní kovový stojan, celé to váží lehce přes 1,5 kg, nabíjí se to výkonem až 120 W (nabíječku s tímhle údajem dostanete v krabici) a už od pohledu je tahle věc extrémně odolná. Co za to? Za menší paměť chtějí na AliExpressu 12 400 Kč, plnotučný terabajt stojí 13 500 Kč. 00:00 – vysavač Roborock Saros Z70 15:10 – dron HoverAir X1 Pro Max 20:50 – tablet Blackview Active 12 Pro

  God's power is exceeding and abundant!Listen to what the Bible says, from Ephesians.(click for podcast)DaH Daq ghaH 'Iv ghaH laH Daq ta' exceedingly abundantly Dung Hoch vetlh maH tlhob joq think, according Daq the HoS vetlh vum Daq maH,Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,Online BibleListen to the Word, it helps us navigate the stars and beyond.

When devotees are interacting with others, especially those who are not yet Kṛṣṇa conscious, they are very gentle and non-condescending, and that brings people closer. It's an attractive quality. People want to know more and more: who you are, what you know, and where you got to be where you are, because of your character. That's what happened with Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya. He saw this beautiful sannyāsī, all opulent, and then that sannyāsī saying, "Oh no, you, you're my spiritual master. Please teach me." That's the positioning.So it has nothing to do with the formality of dīkṣā. It's more about their spontaneous relationship in Mahāprabhu wanting to bring him t o the point of Sārvabhauma, using his paternal instinct towards Caitanya Mahāprabhu as a young sannyāsī to get the sukṛti in order to open his heart and understand Kṛṣṇa. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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#govardhanreadings #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

It's hard to meet a famous person, but if that famous person writes a book, you get the best of that person, and you get to sit there in the comfort of your own home and that's like, 'How am I with this person that's telling me all their secrets?' They put everything in the book, and so Prabhupāda did the same thing. He said, 'If you want to know me and everything I had to say, read my books.' And he personally told a few of us—I was there with Keśava Bhāratī Mahārāja and myself and a couple of other devotees in San Francisco circa 1974—and our temple president gave the book distribution report, and then Prabhupāda looked at us, and he said, 'You must also read my books. I have not written them just for selling. I have written them for you to become a pure devotee and go back home, back to Godhead.' Thunderbolt! So that's what we're doing, purposefully coming to 'THE' place on the planet, which our authorities say is better than Rādhākuṇḍa, in a way, because from here we're like this (folded hands) 'to Rādhākuṇḍa. We stay here at Rādhākuṇḍa with Śrī Kṛṣṇa Mahārāja and his exalted devotees, and we just hear from Prabhupāda's books, and we discuss- 'smarantaḥ smārayantaś ca, 'and from that sādhana, then comes the emergence of bhāva. It comes naturally, so that's why we are here. At least, that's my idea of it. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

If you go on parikramā of Govardhana Hill, you'll find some sections that are smooth, easygoing. This is more in relationship to hearing sections—for instance, of the Bhāgavatam. Sometimes people get to the Ninth Canto and they say, "Do I have to read the entire lineage going all the way to Kṛṣṇa's appearance?" And it seems tedious. But we should remember that, as Sanātana Gosvāmī says, every word of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam emanates a shower of nectar." It's all completely transcendental. I heard Prabhupāda the other day say that every verse in the Bhāgavatam is as good as the Mahāmantra; He said 'the same thing.' So no, we shouldn't skip it. And finally, this idea of feeling unqualified: How does one become qualified? Well, Kavirāja Gosvāmī told us earlier. He said, "If you can't understand it, then I request you to hear it again and again and again," not to avoid it, but just to hear and be submissive and listen. Because by hearing again and again, one can come to understand. It's not an academic type of hearing; it's a devotional hearing. And Kṛṣṇa responds within the heart and informs us.

The remnants of food left by a pure Vaiṣṇava are called Mahā-mahā-prasādam. This is completely spiritual and is identical with Lord Viṣṇu. Such remnants are not ordinary. Spiritual masters who are to be considered on the stage of Paramahaṁsa and beyond the jurisdiction of the varṇāśrama institution. The remnants of food left by the spiritual master and similar paramahaṁsas, or pure Vaiṣṇavas, are purifying. When an ordinary person touches such prasādam, his mind is purified, and his mind is raised to the status of a pure brāhmaṇa. The behavior and statements of Advaita Ācārya are meant for the understanding of ordinary people who are unaware of the strength of spiritual values, not knowing the potency of food left by the bona fide spiritual master and pure Vaiṣṇavas.

Prabhupāda encouraged everyone to write. The main forum for writing during Prabhupāda's time, since Prabhupāda was writing all the books, was the Back to Godhead magazine. He wanted devotees to make articles for that. He emphasized, and all that's there in the record—that writing is a way of consolidating your realizations. If you write essays or books, then you have to do deep research, and you also become very acquainted with it, and you become more articulate in teaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Because, as you know well, when you write, you have to refine the way you present it, and then it becomes refined in your mind also. What Prabhupāda said about it was that finding ways to present Kṛṣṇa consciousness in a modern context, he said that you have to be expert to do that. That's one thing he said. To give an anecdote, Prabhupāda encouraged Svarūpa Dāmodara Mahārāja to write a science book, which he did. He wrote a book called 'The Scientific Basis of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.' And Prabhupāda appreciated that a lot, and he touted that book, and his disciple who had written it, so he was encouraging about that.

I quoted Prahlāda Mahārāja. We quote him again, but that was his, his mood: that even though Nṛsiṁhadeva was personally present, he said, 'Yeah, but I just serve my guru one-pointedly.' And we see, even in the Kṛṣṇa conscious movement, Jayananda Prabhu was famous for having one-pointed attention on serving Prabhupāda. It's palpable. If you see somebody who is like, 'That's their only interest,' they just want to serve their spiritual master. And Prabhupāda had that, in that he said, 'Everything for Kṛṣṇa and nothing for me.' How did he execute that? It was whatever the order of his spiritual master was. He just took that. That mood evolves from an understanding of our own self-interest, and it's not material, but it's ontologically correct. That's the last statement, because we're over time. But one of the main points made in the Eleventh Canto by Havi-yogendra, where he says: bhayaṁ dvitīyābhiniveśataḥ syād īśād apetasya viparyayo 'smṛtiḥ tan-māyayāto budha ābhajet taṁ bhaktyaikayeśaṁ guru-devatātmā (11.2.37) In which he talks about what is the condition the soul has fallen into in this world. It's fear, which arises when the living entity considers himself or herself to be the material body, because of absorption in the external, illusory energy of the Lord. At that point, hesays, he also forgets his constitutional position as eternal servant of the Lord because he's turned away from the Lord. He says, 'In that bewildered, fearful state, he forgets his constitutional position.' He says, 'Therefore one should'—tan-māyayāto budha ābhajet taṁ—'one should serve Kṛṣṇa with one-pointed attention through the medium of the spiritual master, whom he should consider as worshipable Deity.' He says, bhaktyaikayeśaṁ guru-devatātmā, 'his worshipful Deity and his very life and soul.' That we can see, even in the Kṛṣṇa conscious movement, those who have transferred from being falsely self-interested, or erroneously self-interested because they got the wrong sense of self, to real self-interest, that 'serving Kṛṣṇa is my real self-interest,' and then falling in love with the representative... You know, devotees were in love with Prabhupāda. They just wanted to serve him. You can see that in many of the devotees: that that was their only interest. Just "How would Prabhupāda be pleased with this?' And that's the mood that continues to expand in the spiritual world." ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #govardhanreadings #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

Prabhupāda explains that if you appreciate and render service to those who are dear to Kṛṣṇa, then Kṛṣṇa will be very accepting. Therefore, we follow the footsteps of Prahlāda Mahārāja, who, even in his prayers to Nṛsiṃhadeva—who's present before him—says that, "First I worship my spiritual master, I serve Him." That's the mood of those who are in the disciplic line: they consider themselves dāsa-dās-dāsa-anudāsah. Caitanya Mahāprabhu liked that verse so much he chanted it during the Ratha Yātrā in front of Lord Jagannāth. So Prabhupāda said, "Love me, love my dog." If you meet somebody, like we did the other day in Gurugrām, we met a man whose name was Siddhārth, and he was walking his dog. And I said, "That's a nice dog." And the dog was happy; he licked me. The man was happy because I liked his dog, and then he took the book. So, when we please somebody who's dear to the Lord, or we get the positive glance of somebody who is dear to the Lord, then the Lord considers us. For instance, when Nalakūvara and Maṇigrīva misbehaved, Nārada gave them shelter by cursing them, and then they took birth as twin Arjuna trees. But he said, "When Kṛṣṇa comes for His pastimes"—this was unscripted, because he just uttered it himself—"Kṛṣṇa will liberate you." And so Kṛṣṇa remembers during the pastime of Dāmodara-līlā, when He's dragging the churning apparatus, the grinding mortar. "Oh yeah, My devotee Nārada said that these two will be liberated. So I'm going to go take a little shortcut, or take the long way around, and pull down the trees and liberate them." And His specific thought was, "Because Nārada said it." So we go by that principle: that we try, as Prabhupāda said, "The more you're the servant of the servant of the servant of the servant, a million times removed," he said, "that is perfection." ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

We're all doing something very serious. It's a serious lifetime we're engaged in here. It's very high stakes. Because when you're given something to invest, and you're fully aware of it, then there's some responsibility there. If someone squanders what they're given by a benevolent person, they're known as a miser. They don't spend it properly, or they lose it haphazardly—then they're foolish. So, we've been given the greatest opportunity. We have a life span. We have the knowledge, and we also have the practice. So it's important to help one another, because even though we have all these assets, still we're put upon by our own senses and mind, the internal sense. What to speak of people who have no knowledge and no practice? They're blissfully foolish, and so we can do the greatest good to ourselves by taking as full advantage as possible of the process and the knowledge we've been given, and to be generous, to offer it to other people. So much happiness and generosity, especially when you have unlimited assets to give! Just thinking how Mahāprabhu and his associates gave away the contents of the proverbial storehouse of love of Godhead. The more they gave it, the more it increased. And so the more we have generosity of heart to give to other people, the more it grows in us—that storehouse—and the more our community thrives as well. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

Bhūri-dā janāḥ means the most munificent, the person who is giving the best, the best giver in the world. That's what we're coming to in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, because here we start with Kṛṣṇa saying in the Bhagavad Gītā, "Be fully Kṛṣṇa conscious" (Chapter 12). If you can't do that, practice thinking of Kṛṣṇa through the rules and regulations. If you can't do that, then just try to work for Kṛṣṇa. Give! If you can't give to Kṛṣṇa for some reason—and Prabhupāda gives definition to that, like your family won't let you: "I'm sorry, I can't give a check, but it has ISKCON on it. I'm toast."So then he says, "Well, just volunteer somewhere. Go and volunteer in a national park and try to do good for others. That'll raise your awareness that the more I give, the happier I become, the more fulfilled I am." That's a revelation to all living beings in the material world who are just trying to take for themselves. That's: ahastāni sahastānām apadāni catuṣ-padām phalgūni tatra mahatāṁ jīvo jīvasya jīvanam (SB 1.13.47) This statement early in the Bhāgavatam says that living beings are just trying to eat each other. Everyone's stealing everyone else's property; whatever wealth other people have, they try to siphon it off somehow. And ultimately, you know, "You've got a body, I think I'll just eat your body to stay alive." That's the material world, and it's scary, but it's the reality of the world. So then we have this flip towards the spiritual world. How does it happen? Etāvāj janma sāphalyam: You want perfection in your life? Then learn how to give everything in a way of Śreyas—of doing good for others. That's how you become happy. tava kathāmṛtaṁ tapta-jīvanaṁ kavibhir īḍitaṁ kalmaṣāpaham śravaṇa-maṅgalaṁ śrīmad ātataṁ bhuvi gṛṇanti ye bhūri-dā janāḥ (SB 10.31.9) When Caitanya Mahāprabhu heard this verse, He became so enlivened that He embraced Pratāparudra Mahārāja at this point, when he said this verse, and He said, "You are the most munificent. You are the most munificent," He was saying over and over again to Pratāparudra Mahārāja for reciting that verse and letting that vibration out into the world. Those who are giving Kṛṣṇa-kathā, those who are teaching others about Kṛṣṇa, they are the most munificent in the world. So this principle escalates throughout the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. ----------------------------------------------------------- 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #prabhupadapicks #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

Evny, coming out in my new book, 'Abandon The Envy for a Freer and Better Life.' Abandon envy The elements in the definition of envy are: The elements in the definition of envy are: Envy is a noun—a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck. What you want is Prabhupāda's definition. So, he says here. Prabhupāda, “Envy means the cow has got a right to live. He does not allow the cow to live. That is envy. You cannot understand this. Suppose you are walking. You have got a right to walk. I have got… if I kill you, you cannot walk. That is envious. Everyone's got a right to live, just like the camel. God has given their food. They are accustomed to eat these thorny twigs. So Krishna has given that, 'Let them eat and live.' Why you should interfere with his living condition? Do not interfere with others' right.” The Mahābhārata says, “Non-envy is always desiring the welfare of others.” That's non-envy. Sajjana-Toṣaṇī. What is envy? Are envy and love opposed to each other? “To become happy on seeing others' distress and to become distressed on seeing others' happiness is called envy. Envy and love are contradictory. Wherever there is envy, there is no question of love, and wherever there is love, there is no question of envy.” It goes on and on from there. There's a lot on envy, but I know what you're saying. There's a traditional kind of idea about it, but Prabhupāda gives it in a more existential way, that other people have their food, they have their space, they have their quota. And you think, “Why should you have your quota? I should have everybody's quota.” Like, it bugs them that other people are walking around, so they just stamp on it or kill them, or put a fence up and get rid of them. So that's how Prabhupāda mentions envy.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 6, 2025 is: mollify • MAH-luh-fye • verb To mollify someone is to make them less angry. Mollify can also mean "to reduce in intensity." // The celebrity's statement was intended to mollify critics. // Time mollified her anger. See the entry > Examples: "The philanthropic move is likely meant to mollify angry residents who are protesting against the celebrity-filled spectacle being held in their historic backyard." — Madeleine Marr, The Miami Herald, 25 June 2025 Did you know? Mollify is particularly well-suited for referring to the action of soothing emotional distress or anger and softening hard feelings: the word comes from the Latin adjective mollis, meaning "soft." Mollis is also the root of the English adjective emollient, used to describe something (such as a hand lotion) that softens or soothes, and the noun mollusk, which refers to any one of a large group of animals (such as snails and clams) that have a soft body without a backbone and that usually live in a shell.
