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.

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

The Essential Theme of Humility in the High Holidays The Bent Shofar: A Symbol of Humility On Rosh Hashanah , we blow the Shofar . The Halacha emphasizes the importance of a bent Shofar. Even if we have a choice between a bent Shofar from a goat and a straight one from a ram ( Ayil ), we choose the bent one. Furthermore, if the choice is between a straight Shofar with a great sound and a bent one with a lesser sound, the bent Shofar is still preferred. Why? The Mishnah Berurah explains that the essential requirement is for the Shofar to be bent, as the Gemara states. The bent shape symbolizes humility ( Anavah ). Rosh Hashanah is a day for humbling ourselves before God, and this principle of "bending" carries through the entire High Holiday period. Ne'ilah and the Essence of Awe This concept of humility extends directly to Yom Kippur , specifically during the concluding Ne'ilah prayer. The Gemara teaches that the core of the Ne'ilah service lies in the words: "Mah anachnu, mah chayeinu, mah kocheinu, mah gevurateinu" — "What are we? What is our life? What is our strength? What is our power?" We are declaring that we are nothing on our own. Why is this fundamental declaration of powerlessness so central to both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur? The Desire to Be the Boss: The Original Sin The answer goes back to the Original Sin . The Serpent ( Nachash ) told Adam and Eve, "The reason God commanded you not to eat from that tree is because He ate from it and it made Him a boss. He doesn't want you to be a boss, too." We bought into the lie and ate. This event reveals a fundamental human flaw: a person's deep-seated desire to be in charge , to be the boss, and to reject the authority of anyone else. The "Curse" as a Correction ( Tikun ) To fix this innate arrogance, God instituted what is commonly called a "curse," but which the Nefesh HaChaim interprets as a correction ( Tikun ). God told man, "B'zeat apecha tochal lechem"—"By the sweat of your brow you will eat bread." And to the woman, "B'etzev teldi banim"—"In pain you will give birth to children." Why these two specific things? Because when is a person closest to feeling like a creator? When a man plants a seed in the ground and out comes a tree. When a woman conceives a seed in her womb and out comes a baby. In these moments, one is most likely to exclaim, " I'm the boss! Look what I just did! " God's wisdom ensures that precisely in these areas—your business and your family—where you feel most in control, a curveball will appear: a setback in your work or a difficulty in raising your children. The purpose ( Tachlit ) is to force us to cry out to God and declare, "I realize I'm not in charge; You are in charge." This is the meaning of the Tikun —the correction. The entire season of the High Holidays, symbolized by the bent Shofar , is designed to help us internalize this essential truth of humility and dependence on God.

  What kind of spirit does God give?Listen to what the Bible says, from 2 Timothy.a(click for podcast)vaD joH'a' ta'be' nob maH a qa' vo' taHvIp, 'ach vo' HoS, muSHa', je self-control.For God didn`t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.Online BibleListen to the Word, it helps us navigate the stars and beyond.

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

Mahāpanthakatthera merupakan seorang arahat ketika adik laki-lakinya Culapanthaka bergabung menjadi bhikkhu. Culapanthaka terlahir sebagai seorang yang dungu karena ia pernah menertawakan seorang bhikkhu yang sangat dungu pada salah satu kehidupan lampaunya. Culapanthaka tidak dapat bahkan mengingat satu stanza dalam waktu empat bulan. Mahāpanthaka sangat kecewa dengan adiknya dan menyuruhnya untuk meninggalkan wihara karena dia tidak pantas menjadi seorang bhikkhu.Terkait dengan hal tersebut, pada suatu kesempatan para bhikkhu bertanya kepada Buddha mengapa Mahāpanthaka, meskipun adalah seorang arahat, mengusir adik laki-lakinya keluar dari wihara. Mereka juga menambahkan, “Apakah para Arahat masih kehilangan kesabaran mereka? Apakah mereka masih mempunyai kotoran batin seperti niat jahat dalam batin mereka?” Bagaimana jawaban Buddha? Apakah tindakan Mahāpanthaka tersebut didasari oleh kemarahan?Di kelas ini Ashin Kheminda menjelaskan makna kata demi kata stanza 405-407 dari Kelompok Stanza tentang Brahmana (Brahmanavagga) hanya berdasarkan Pāḷi dan kitab komentarnya (Aṭṭhakathā).

We spreken vaak over liefde, maar minder over mededogen – karuṇā. In deze podcast verkennen we wat karuṇā betekent in het boeddhisme, hoe het zich onderscheidt van medelijden, en waarom het een bron van kracht en wijsheid kan zijn. Je hoort hoe Theravāda en Mahāyāna dit begrip uitwerken, en hoe karuṇā verbonden is met upāya (vaardige middelen) en dāna (het juiste geven). We sluiten af met een geleide karuṇā-bhāvanā meditatie die je dagelijks kunt gebruiken. Een oefening die je leven kan veranderen en je hart opent voor anderen.

Suspendu de ses fonctions le 25 août dernier, Chidanand Rughoobar, analyste à la Banque de Maurice et président de la Bank of Mauritius Employees Union (BOMEU), se retrouve au cœur d'une polémique syndicale. L'homme avait été arrêté le 13 juillet à Mahébourg pour « rogue and vagabond » avant d'être inculpé le lendemain. Libéré sous caution, il doit comparaître en cour le 4 décembre prochain. Une réunion s'est tenue le 4 septembre au département de Conciliation et de Médiation du ministère du Travail. Lors de cette rencontre, le représentant de la Banque de Maurice a confirmé le maintien de la suspension de Chidanand Rughoobar. Une décision jugée « inacceptable » par le négociateur syndical Narendranath Gopee. Après avoir sollicité l'intervention du Premier ministre, le Dr Navin Ramgoolam, le président de la National Trade Union Confederation (NTUC) a adressé une correspondance au secrétaire général de l'International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) d'Afrique, dont le NTUC est affilié, afin d'alerter l'organisation sur la situation. « C'est extrêmement grave que le travail d'un syndicaliste soit menacé. Les syndicalistes doivent être protégés en vertu de la Workers' Rights Act », soutient Narendranath Gopee. Parallèlement, une correspondance sera envoyée ce lundi 15 septembre au comité de la liberté syndicale de l'Organisation internationale du travail (OIT). Narendranath Gopee souhaite que l'Organisation internationale du travail intervienne rapidement afin de stopper la menace de licenciement qui plane sur Chidanand Rughoobar.

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.

There's a story about Prabhupāda, whether it's apocryphal or not or enhanced, I'm not sure, but one devotee recounted it, I think it's in a Memories of Prabhupāda. He said that Prabhupāda was praying intensely before the Deity, and later on, his servant asked him, "Do you mind me asking what you were praying for?" Prabhupāda said, "To not fall down to material nature." Then then the devotee allegedly responded, "But a pure devotee never falls down." And Prabhupāda said, "That is why! Because the devotees is always praying like that." There's an example of that in Prahlāda Mahārāja's prayers, where he says, "trasto 'smy ahaṁ kṛpaṇa-vatsala duḥsahogra-" He's talking about how everyone was afraid of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva. That's why they pushed Prahlāda forward and said, "You talk to him." Even Lakṣmī, his wife, thought like, "Who is this person?" And then Prahlāda said, "I'm not afraid of you. I'm afraid of your Viṣṇu Māyā, that's what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid niṣpīḍyamānam upakarṣa vibho prapannam—I'm afraid of getting reabsorbed into the material energy." He said it's like a big wheel. "You are caught in it and he said, "I'll get ground up by the wheel." So devotees should be fearful. I was just writing about that this morning because in the 10th Canto, second chapter, there's a series of purports about fear, and it's in relationship to Devakī's fear of Kaṁsa. She was constantly afraid. Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura says this fear of material association is purifying. He says the ṣaḍ-garbha asuras represent kāma, krodha, lobha, mada, moha, and mātsarya, and that they were killed one after another, which was symbolic. It actually happened, but it's also symbolic of the way in which, when we're afraid of material nature, we burn up our last attachments to 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

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.

To the point of what about giving up one's home, going to the forest, and fasting most of the time? The answer is the process of chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahāmantra doesn't require these. And the answer is in Prabhupāda's letter, where he uses the phrase "forced meditation." Force means power, and "forced" means pushed by a power greater than oneself. The chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa is infused with Kṛṣṇa's unlimited powers. What's more, when chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa with attention, Kṛṣṇa, the all-powerful, pushes us along. Consider how when someone forces us to do something, that person is more powerful than we are. When someone forces us to do something, we are not doing it voluntarily. For example, a mother may force her child to go to school. Consider the phrase, "Clyde's mother forced him to go to his first day of school, as he was at first unwilling." Clyde's mother, in this sense, is more powerful than Clyde, and she makes him go to school for his own good. When we chant the mahāmantra, we invite Kṛṣṇa to push us forward on the spiritual path, even if we are unwilling. Those who chant japa avail themselves of Kṛṣṇa's power. The Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra is a prayer requesting The Lord to engage us in His spiritual service. Getting out of the material world, the world regulated by Māyā Devī, is not easy. We are stuck, not just in her orbit, but we are imprisoned in her world. Devī-dhām—a place of torture—that is impossible to escape. Who will intervene on our behalf? Who will save us? Kṛṣṇa will. But more precisely, Kṛṣṇa's names have appeared as our liberator. Our chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, therefore, is our cry for Kṛṣṇa's help, recognizing that he is not only more powerful than we are but he is also the master of Māyā Devī. What's more, he knows better than we what is good for us. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #makejapagreatagain #mantrameditation #chantharekrishnaandbehappy #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

英語は話せないのに、発音のせいでネイティブに絡まれて困ってます…「大して英語を話せるわけじゃないのに、発音だけはちょっと上手い。そのせいで、ネイティブスピーカーにマシンガンのように話しかけられて、いつも困っています…。」こんにちは！発音ディレクターのDr. Dです。突然ですが、あなたにはこんな経験ありませんか？…って、普通はありませんよね（笑）。でも、意外と同じような経験をされている方がいらっしゃるようで、YouTubeのコメント欄などでたまに見かけることがあります。僕からすると、「なんて贅沢な悩みなんだ！」と、思わずにはいられません。なぜ、こんなことが起こるのでしょうか？おそらく、これは日本での出来事でしょう。日本に住んでいるネイティブスピーカーが普段接するのは、いわゆる「日本語訛り」の英語がほとんど。だから、コミュニケーションがギクシャクしてしまい、フラストレーションが溜まっていることが多いんです。そんな中に、あなたのような発音が綺麗な人が現れたら…？彼らは「お！この人は英語が話せる人だ！」と、水を得た魚のように、堰を切ったように話し始めるのです。だって、挨拶でいきなり “Hey, how're you doing, man!” なんて、めちゃくちゃ滑らかに言われたら、誰だって「この人、デキる…！」って思いますよね。もう、全身からそんなオーラが出ちゃってるんです。でも、実際はボキャブラリーが追いつかず、相手が何を言っているのかさっぱり…。仕方なく “Oh yeah…” なんて適当に相槌を打ちながら、そーっとフェードアウトする…。きっと、こんな感じではないでしょうか？その悩み、実は「最強のアドバンテージ」ですでも、諦めないでください！そんなあなたは、普通の人の何倍ものポテンシャルを秘めているんです。なぜなら、それだけ発音が上手になったということは、あなたがきっと英語が好きで、無意識のうちにたくさん英語の音に触れてきた証拠だから。好きな洋楽を口ずさんだり、海外ドラマのセリフを真似したりしているうちに、理屈じゃなく「ノリ」で発音できるようになったんですよね？だとしたら、あとはボキャブラリーを増やすだけ。すでに発音の基礎ができているので、聞いた英語をどんどん真似して、スポンジのように言葉を吸収していけるんです。普通の学習者が1時間かけて習得するフレーズを、あなたならわずか10分で自分のものにできるかもしれません。通常、新しいフレーズを覚えるときは、意味を理解してから、スムーズに言えるようになるまで何度も音読練習が必要です。でも、あなたはこの「スムーズに発音する」という一番時間がかかる部分を、一瞬でクリアできてしまう。これは、英語習得においてとてつもないアドバンテージなんです。だから、必要に迫られれば、あなたの英語力は一気に開花します。仕事の面接で英語が必要？→ 面接関連の動画を観まくって真似すればOK！プレゼンで使いたい？→ 自分の分野のプレゼン動画をコピーしまくればOK！日常会話を楽しみたい？→ 海外ドラマ『フレンズ』を毎日2時間、数ヶ月も真似すれば、かなり流暢になっていますよ。発音力は、そのまま英語力に直結する逆に言えば、多くの人が英語学習に苦労するのは、この**「発音」でつまずいている**からです。発音がスムーズにできないから、お手本の音声を真似できない。真似できないから、シャドーイングなどの練習が成り立たない。結果、いつまで経っても「話せる」ようにならない。言語の習得は、どの言語であれ**「発音」が基礎中の基礎**。まず音を理解し、真似できるようになってから、単語やフレーズを覚えていくのが自然な流れです。それを無視して、ローマ字読みのような感覚で単語を覚えても、残念ながら「使える英語」にはなりません。だから皆さん、まずは発音をしっかりやりましょう！英語の「声」を作る！喉を開く基本フォームせっかくなので今日は、英語を発音するための「フォーム作り」をやってみましょう。英語と日本語では、そもそも声の出し方が違います。英語は口の中の空間を広く保ち、喉の奥から声を出すイメージです。さらに、英語のリズムは**ストレス（強弱）**によって生まれます。この2つを意識するだけで、あなたの英語は一気にネイティブらしくなります。喉を開く！3ステップ・エクササイズ① あくびをするまずは、思いっきりあくびをしてみてください。喉の奥がグッと開く感覚、わかりますか？これが「喉を開いた」状態の基本です。② 軟口蓋（ソフトパレット）に息を当てる次に、口の上あごの奥の柔らかい部分（軟口蓋）に息を当てるように、「Hah, Hah, Hah」と発音してみましょう。息が抜けるような、深い声質に変わるはずです。③ 喉を脱力させ、音程を下げる②の状態のまま、喉の力を抜き、音程を少しずつ下げるように「Hah↘︎, Hah↘︎, Hah↘︎」と言ってみましょう。このフォームが英語の基本です。この声で、アクセントをつけてみましょう。Hah ha↘︎, Hah ha↘︎, Hah ha↘︎Mah ma↘︎, Mah ma↘︎, Mah ma↘︎Higher, Higher, HigherIt's higher than the mountains.息をたっぷり吐きながら発音するのがポイントです！【実践】海外ドラマ『フレンズ』で応用練習このフォームを使って、実際のセリフを練習してみましょう！発音のコツもカタカナで書いておくので、参考にしてください。Hey Monica, the knob was broken, so I just turn it off from underneath. I hope that's all right.Hey Monica,/hei mah ni ka/the knob was broken,/the nahb wuz brou kun/so I just turn it off/so-ai jus(t) tern di dahf/ (tとd、tとoが繋がって「ターニドッフ」のように聞こえます)from underneath./frum-un der neeth/I hope that's all right./ai houp thats-ahl rai(t)/（ここに動画の切り抜きなどを埋め込み、細切れに再生しながら読者が練習できるようにすると、さらに効果的です）さいごにいかがでしたか？このチャンネルでは、ほとんどの動画で今日のような**コピーイング（お手本の音声をそっくり真似する練習）**を取り入れています。ぜひ、過去の動画もさかのぼって、たくさん練習してみてくださいね。もし、「一人での練習は難しい…」「自分の発音が合っているか不安…」という方は、僕が運営する発音スクールでトレーナーと一緒に学ぶのが一番の近道です。3ヶ月で発音の基礎を固めることができます。ネイティブのような発音を手に入れたい！英語をスムーズに聞き取り、話せるようになりたい！そう思う方は、ぜひチャンネル登録をして、このチャンネルの動画をとことん活用してください。それでは、また来週お会いしましょう！

Śukadeva Gosvāmī says in the 14th Chapter of the 10th Canto that when people have a home, if it doesn't have Kṛṣṇa Consciousness inside, then it becomes like a prison. They're locked in, can't get out. Every realm is defined by the sound vibration. So you can have a fancy house, but once you are locked in there, you're stuck with the sound vibration that's inside. If the sound vibration is mundane, then it doesn't matter how fancy the house is, you'll be in hellish consciousness. And by the same principle, if you're even in the simplest environment, if the vibration is pure, then you're not in the material world. You're in the transcendental realm, as the realm is defined by the transcendental sound vibration. I once lived in Bhuvaneśvara in a little hut, went to my god-brother, and HH Gaura Govinda Mahārāja was staying there too. We had no facility, except for we would cook on a little fire, and Mahārāja would give class in the morning sitting on just a little wooden platform. There was nothing around at that time. But we were just completely happy, just a little khichḍī. We would sleep on the dirt floor in that hut and then listen to Bhāgavatam and chant, and then go to Jagannāth Purī. And it's a blissful life. So this grandiose society, everyone's trying to find happiness by developing materially, but they don't know the principle, which is sound vibration. So it's our job to introduce the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness so people can transform their lives by upgrading their soundtrack and making sure that they include The Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahāmantra. They could even put Gaura Nitāi in their house. What a difference that would make! You could spend $5 million on a house on the street that's on the low side. We looked it up. One house is for sale down here. It's 4.2; it's the crappiest house on the block. But if there's no Gaura Nitāi inside any of these places, then what is the use? Soft pillows and a bed? It's just the exact same thing. That's what Śukadeva Gosvāmī says in the beginning of the Second Canto of Bhāgavatam you know, just live simply and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and be happy. Or if you live in a nice place so more people can come, it doesn't disturb us either because the main thing is the vibration—keeping the transcendental little vibration going. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

How would you feel if you were cursed to die in seven days? Not very good. But Parīkṣit Mahārāj said, ‘Let the snake-bird, or whatever magical creature this boy has conjured, bite me at once. All I want is to go on hearing the transcendental vibration about Kṛṣṇa.' He wasn't disturbed by it. In fact, there's a list of symptoms given in the Madhya-līlā of the Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta, which is the teachings and pastimes of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. That's another book besides the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. It's a must-have, by the way. And within that, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu teaches Sanātana Gosvāmī the tenets of bhakti-yoga. In one section, he describes what symptoms one would have when one becomes spiritually advanced. He gives Parīkṣit Mahārāj as an example of a highly advanced person. The first symptom of the heart being spiritually enlivened, otherwise known as bhāva, is that he didn't mind being cursed. It was called kṣāntir, a kind of immediate forgiveness of the situation. He said, ‘You're cursed.' A little boy cursed you, and it's effective. So it's coming. There's a snake-bird coming for you. And he said, ‘Let it come. It's the arrangement of the Lord.' In fact, his opinion was that this is Kṛṣṇa's arrangement for me. He said, "I was a king. I was so attached to all my things. How else would I have given them up? But now I have an excuse. A perfect excuse." Who else got an excuse in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam to walk out on his family? Vidura. Vidura was not cursed, but he was insulted severely by Duryodhana. You remember this? Vidura was trying to stand up for the Pāṇḍavas, and Duryodhana said, ‘Who is this guy, anyway? He's not even full-blooded, part of our family. He's a mutt. Get him out of here! I'll beat him up! I'll beat him out of here!' In that very moment, Vidura felt, ‘This is Kṛṣṇa's opening for me to go out and just be absorbed and go on pilgrimage.' This is what you do when nothing else works out. You just go to the Dhām. He went on pilgrimage for many years. He walked outside that palace, laid down his bow and arrow right on the doorstep, and then he was unrecognizable after that. No one could tell where he was, or they couldn't see him anymore. So, the times in which we're tested most deeply in this world are the times when we can understand, 'How spiritually advanced am I?' One of the first symptoms is called kṣāntir. It means the heart is forgiving. It's like, 'Okay, it's Kṛṣṇa's arrangement.' This is embodied in one of the most famous verses that we're going to visit today, in the 14th chapter of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. “Prabhupada Picks” refers to a selection of verses from the 10th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam that Srila Prabhupada memorized himself and quoted very frequently in his teachings.

FROM LAB SUCCESS TO MARKET-READY PRODUCTHPQ Silicon $HPQ / $HPQFF has moved from prototype to production in record time, delivering its first commercial-scale silicon-anode battery cells — a milestone that positions the company at the forefront of a ~$16B market for mobility, electronics, and energy storage.The company began manufacturing HPQ ENDURA+ 18650 and 21700 cells, delivering 4,000 mAh and 6,000 mAh capacity with lifespans approaching 1,000 cycles — performance that CEO Bernard Tourillon says is “unheard of” in commercially sized batteries. Independent third-party validation confirmed the results first achieved at the lab scale are now replicable in industrial production.GLOBAL INTEREST AND STRATEGIC POSITIONINGInquiries from Asia, Europe, and North America including power tool, e-bike, drone, and military suppliersPartnership discussions underway with industry leaders, including graphite producers seeking to enhance their products with HPQ's silicon-anode materialAbility to integrate into existing battery manufacturing lines without costly retooling“We continue to receive inquiries from global potential customers and are engaging in technical discussions with leading industry players… With production now underway, we anticipate an acceleration of partnership opportunities as soon as we start delivering.” — Bernard Tourillon, CEO, HPQ SiliconSCALABLE GROWTH POTENTIALThe company estimates that a 50-ton annual production facility for its proprietary silicon-anode material — an investment of $5–$7 million — could supply up to 25–30 million batteries.

Who or What is Kali?According to Abhinava Gupta , Kālī is: क्षेपो ज्ञानं च संख्यां गतिनाद इति क्रमात्। कल्लनां कुर्वती काली कर्षिणीत्यभिधीयते। She who projects, She who knows, She who delimits, She who vibrates, She who is resonance and She who is process She who imagines, She who acts, She who devours (i.e reabsorbs)....this is verily Kālī In other words, Kālī is that resonant, dynamic One from Whom the world is projected outward, articulated and known and into Whom it is reabsorbed in a constant simultaneity of unfolding! But what does that mean? And what does Kālī have to do with Śakti and what is Śakti to Śiva? Is there such a thing as a Śākta (worshipper of Devī) distinct from Śaivism? In trying to approach some of these questions, we discuss one of my favorite topics: yoginīs, mātrikās & cremation ground deities! As our śrāvana festivities and practices intensify with the passing weeks, there is a rising fervor and I am feeling rather inspired to explore the cremation ground roots of our Śaiva heritage, to make a few historical points about Ati Margins and about Kāpālikās and about what they discovered, understanding it all within the wider philosophical context of Somānanda's presentation of Śiva as primordial dynamic Consciousness, inseparable from Śakti, the pentadof powers! (cit, ānanda, icchā, jñāna, kriyā etc.) This union of Śiva + Powers (i.e puissance or latency or agency or dyanmism) is what we call Kālī and this is what I hope to explore with you a little bit today in class!According to Shiti Kanttha in Mahānāya Prakāśa: एवं आधौ एव शक्तिः स्पन्दनशीला बहिर्विषयोन्मुखी व्यापिनीभावेन सृष्ट्युपदेशभाजनम्...। एकैव चिन्नीलाधवाभासरूपा अस्थिरहठगवती कुलैव पश्चात्प्रतिसंहतस्वभावा अग्राग्रागमिप्रसरत्सहजरूपा लक्ष्यते, सोऽयं निरुपाधौ चित्स्फायादुपाधिकृतो भेदः। Verily is She is the Primordial Pulsation, inclined towards externality, the all-pervasive receptacle of emission and wisdom. She alone is the Pure Awareness in which shines experiences like the colour blue etc. Dyanmic and forcefully flowing into externality, She is verily "Kula" (the embodied universe) and yet afterwards, she withdraws it back into her nature. Her spotaneous nature is found at the very edge of arising experience. Duality arises in Her when there are limiting adjuncts but in truth She shines non-differently!Shiva = Kali, as in Shiti Kanttha:शिवस्वभावैव शक्तिः न वस्त्वन्तरम्,इत्येकम् एव शिवव्यपदेश्यं शक्तिव्यपदेश्यं च वस्तुतत्त्वं नापूर्वं किञ्चित्। The essential nature of Shiva is Shakti; they are is no seperate reality! That which is called "Shiva" and that which is called "Shakti" is the same thing! And this essential reality is wholly ordinary and not something bizzare! Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

"I respect the principle that I am fully responsible for where I direct my attention at any given moment." Just on that, being aware of the fact that it's up to us—we can't blame it on someone else, we can't blame it on our mind. We have to take full responsibility for where our attention is going, and that's our free will. Our free will is where we're directing our attention. So, if we let our mind run off in a different direction and it bites somebody, then we are the one that the police come to and say, "Hey, your dog got loose and bit somebody." You can't say, "Oh, I know nothing about it." No, he's your dog; you are the one who's going to be held responsible. So, if your attention, if you take it off a leash and let it go and it bites somebody somewhere, then that's on you. So, take full responsibility for your own attention, and don't claim that it's not possible. Don't claim that "somebody else made me do it," or whatever. And then it (the 11th principle of respect written by HG Vaisesika Dasa) goes on to say "Giving my full attention to the Mahāmantra while I'm chanting my rounds is essential to improving my chanting and eventually coming to the pure stage of chanting." ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #japajolt #makejapagreatagain #mantrameditation #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

Everybody, keep going and remember, Vṛṣākapi—it's a name of Kṛṣṇa. It means when the devotees choose to think of Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa becomes inclined towards such a devotee. He showers his benedictions, satisfies his or her desires, and removes all miseries. If the atheistic mind tells you there's somewhere better to be, or "this is boring," don't believe him. Just believe the śāstra that everything comes from our relationship with Kṛṣṇa. We're part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. And just take full shelter of the Mahāmantra and keep going.Pay close attention to the syllables and be aware if you're chanting or not. If you're not aware that you're chanting, your mind's not on the mantra. So be aware that you're chanting and listen to the syllables. Kṛṣṇa is all good. His name's perfect. He's non-different from His name. Just stay focused. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #makejapagreatagain #mantrameditation #chantharekrishnaandbehappy #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

Circa 1973, there was a precipitous rise in book distribution. Just the conditions were all coming together where it was ready to take off. One of the leaders of book distribution, who was the head of the BBT in Los Angeles at that time, was giving very pointed classes related to Caitanya-caritāmṛta and these sections about the ways in which devotees want to bring others closer as Prabhupāda had done. Prabhupāda commissioned paintings where there was the Rāsa-līlā and the Harīnāma saṅkīrtana (Caitanya Mahāprabhu) in one picture. Of course, we know from the outset of the Caitanya-caritāmṛta: "anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ kalau samarpayitum unnatojjvala-rasāṁ sva-bhakti-śriyam" (CC Adi 1.4). Caitanya Mahāprabhu's innermost desire was Kṛṣṇa's innermost desire, which is just thinking, "I want to give this to everybody." A lot of people later, after Mahāprabhu's appearance, said, "You're going to give this now in Kali-yuga? It's just an odd juxtaposition when people in Kali-yuga are satisfied with a little fast food, a little screen to look at, no philosophy to speak of, no logic to speak of, and then you're going to give the Ujjvala-rasa ? The highest thing?" You know others—Prabhupāda Sarasvatī, for instance—are saying, "This is unheard of, even amongst the greatest scholars": 'tathā paramahaṁsānāṁ munīnām amalātmanām bhakti-yoga-vidhānārthaṁ' (SB 1.18.20). Kuntī Devī says this is for the paramahaṁsas—what Kṛṣṇa is giving—and now it's being given in Kali-yuga to everybody. And this person was then bringing all these points to bear and saying book distribution—going out into public and meeting people for the purpose of bringing them to Kṛṣṇa—that's related to not just Caitanya Mahāprabhu's pastimes, but because Caitanya Mahāprabhu's pastimes are like a reversible jacket. You know a reversible jacket? You can wear it either way. Caitanya Mahāprabhu, you reverse it, then you have Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa-līlā. As we hear in the song "Gaurāṅgera duṭi pāda," Narottama Dāsa Ṭhākura says, you dive into the ocean of the saṅkīrtana movement, and you come out on the shore of the Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa-līlā. So he was preaching with this very enthusiastic devotee that book distribution is in the mood of the gopīs. You see how you could get there. You'd have to show your work on paper, like they say in a math class, "I'm going to see your work." You'd show it in the margins. Do they still do that? You don't just give the answer because you could have looked it up on ChatGPT. You have to show that you did the work. So devotees wanted to know, "Is this accurate?" And Prabhupāda confirmed. He said, "Yes, this is an accurate understanding." This is the mood of the gopīs; the mood of all the great devotees is to distribute the mercy of Kṛṣṇa, and Caitanya Mahāprabhu has come specifically for the distribution of the Ujjvala-rasa to everybody in the Kali-yuga. 'Māyā-mṛgaṁ dayitayepsitam anvadhāvad,' it is mentioned by Karabhājana Muni that he ran after people to give them this process, even if they were not that interested. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------

The most obvious and pervasive realities are often the hardest to see. Like fish who don't realize they're swimming in water, we move through samsara — the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth — unaware of the forces shaping us. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack the illusion that my experience is the most real, vivid, and important, and explore how yoga wisdom teaches us to zoom out, recognize our connection to the whole, and break free from self-centered existence. Drawing on David Foster Wallace's “default setting,” the story of the fish and the water, and King Yudhiṣṭhira's profound greeting in the Mahābhārata, they reveal how to stop reacting to immediate causes — and start seeing the supreme cause behind everything. Highlights: •⁠  ⁠Why samsara — and its lessons — often go unseen •⁠  ⁠The illusion of separateness and self-importance •⁠  ⁠How to greet others in the spirit of liberation •⁠  ⁠How a rock star's madness reveals the trap of ego •⁠  ⁠Why we stay busy counteracting symptoms while ignoring the cause Subscribe and join thousands on the path from illusion to liberation.
