When I sang this song at the very place where Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura had performed his worship of Śrī Śrī Gaura-Gadādhara, the devotees were dancing and spinning, and my very close friend and worldwide-famous kīrtaniyā Havi Prabhu came up to me privately and said, “Vaiś, this is such a somber song by Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura. He's talking about the jīva soul and its sojourn in the material world from a time before anyone can trace—except for Kṛṣṇa. The soul has been in the material world and transmigrates from one body to the next. We know from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, from Kapila-deva to Devahūti, and also Caitanya Mahāprabhu speaking to Śacī-mātā, that the soul within the womb, at a particular time of the development of its material body, becomes aware: "I'm again enclosed in a womb." As Kapila-deva explains to his mother, the soul within the womb who is very fortunate becomes aware of his circumstance begins to pray: "Please, let me stay here, because as soon as I come out of the womb, I'll be captured again by Māyā." In the Eleventh Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the Haṃsa-avatāra of Kṛṣṇa tells the four Kumāras that this is inevitable, because the senses of the living being in the material body are embedded within the sense objects, and the sense objects of the material world are embedded within the mind of every conditioned soul. Therefore, it's inevitable. Then, when the soul comes out of the womb, he is again captured and goes on as if in a dream, thinking, ‘This is my life,' and wanders like this endlessly from one body to the next. How will the soul be extricated from this endless suffering in the material world? So, he told me, ‘You should use another tune to indicate the sobriety of this moment of the soul calling out.' This is a tune that Prabhupāda used to sing beseechingly, as you can tell from his voice, calling out to Kṛṣṇa. And after this morning's class by Saccidānanda Mahārāja, we can remember the importance of the time we have. We all have an āyu (lifespan), only we don't know when it's going to end. We have to take advantage now and remember our time in the womb, promising Kṛṣṇa, "If You get me out of this one, I'll definitely worship You." So now's the time.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, in a practical way, when the residents of Kulina-grāma asked him about offending devotees, he said, "Offending devotees is poison; the antidote to the poison is to glorify the devotees." So, if you have to do something with your tongue, then just try to find something good to say about them. Somebody says "blah, blah, blah," and you say, "Well, they have nice kids." I've heard that before, and it ruins the whole conversation. Because of envy in the heart, there is a hankering like "Can't we just grind somebody else for a while and pile it on?" But then, when you throw that in, it's an antivirus software and it wrecks the whole thing. The other overarching point is: we should pray to Kṛṣṇa to become completely 100% non-envious, because envy ruins everything in our lives and everybody else's lives. Just meditate on what it would feel like to become 100% non-envious. I asked Nirakula the other day—because I've been asking a lot of people—"What would it feel like to be 100% non-envious?" She said, "Well, we'd be living in the spiritual world. So why not start living there now?" It's not even a religion, you know; you don't have to join a church. In fact, the Bhāgavatam even says it. There's a verse in the Bhāgavatam that I can't find, so I have to ask Śāstra-sāra where it is. It says the main process is to become free from envy. I know it's there in the beginning of the Bhāgavatam, but it's very specifically stated elsewhere. You should meditate on that—how to become completely non-envious. And if you get the opportunity to associate with somebody who is non-envious, it's startling. Because you just notice that they're either non-envious or they're so focused on becoming non-envious that they're reticent about touching topics that will stimulate that sense of envy and nourish it like a little fire that you're pouring ghee into. They have already understood—they're so high-minded—they understand that Kṛṣṇa is aware of everything. We want to please Kṛṣṇa; like Mahārāja's class this morning, the whole premise of that is to be utterly humble and very, very careful in the way we deal with people. Kṛṣṇa deals with everything else in our lives. We don't have to jump in and try to use a monkey wrench to fix everything, because it won't work. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------

The concept of Avatāra is definitely prevalent in this verse and in this section, because Kapila is making His avatāra. If we think of it in terms of holes, the avatāra is the one who enters into the holes that we can't get out of. Otherwise, what's the use? Avatāra has the implication of one who's outside the hole and comes in just to deliver us, because we can't get out ourselves. That's why, when people realize they're in a hole and that they can't get out, and then they realize the presence of the Avatāra—they meet devotees, or they read Bhagavad-gītā—they have a conversion experience and tears come to their eyes. Because they think, "Someone's come to save me, even though I'm stuck in this hole, someone has come to take me out." So, Kapila's mission is to enter. He enters into the semen of Kardama, comes out from the womb of Devahūti, specifically to speak about Kṛṣṇa consciousness—to save not only Devahūti but the whole world. Now, what is our mission? You think about it: the people are all in some hole. If you interview people anywhere, you'll find that they're stuck in some hole. Otherwise, why is there the saying, "If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging"? Practically everybody's in a hole somewhere, and it's very difficult to come out. Therefore, our mission is to represent the avatāra. Who's the avatāra in Kali-yuga? For 20 points, it's the holy name, right? Nāmāvatāra, comes as the holy name, and our mission then is to bring the holy name and put it in various holes. Where can you think of various holes that we can put the holy name? The ear holes come up right away, right? Because that's a hole—two holes, in fact. And Prabhupāda mentions in one of his purports that although they appear very small, inside there's a lot of space; there's a lot that can go in there. If the holy name, for instance, enters the ear, then it can transform the heart of the soul, smash any of the unwanted desires within the heart, and so forth. Another hole I thought of was doors, because Prabhupāda specifically says in a couple places in his purports that it's the mission of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement to go door to door. Has anybody ever gone door to door to distribute books? Anybody here gone trick-or-treating and gone door to door? According to Vijay Prabhu, who knows these things, he says 90 times. Now, what happens when you knock on somebody's door? You open up and see which hole they fell into, or fell through the doors is the hole; but inside there is saṁsṛtiṁ ghorāṁ, a miserable life! It's a revelation, knocking on people's doors. You knock-knock, open up, there's a bunch of birds flying around inside, or there's a stench, or maybe in the mode of goodness, still there's a sense of doom, because "I'm stuck in here." Gṛham andha-kūpaṁ —Prahlāda Mahārāja says it's a hole that's hard to get out of. So, imagine if you take a transcendental literature—nāmāny anantasya yaśo 'ṅkitāni yat—it's written kīrtana, and you put it in the hole. Knock-knock-knock, door opens, throw it in, boom!! It's satisfying. Because people are in the hole, they can't get out, they can't even pay the mortgage. You got to go... ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025

"The living entity, because he is transcendental, has nothing to do with this material nature. Still, because he has become conditioned by the material world, he is acting under the spell of the three modes of material nature. Because living entities have different kinds of bodies in terms of the different aspects of nature, they are induced to act according to that nature. This is the cause of the varieties of happiness and distress." (BG 14.5, purport https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/14/5/) We are under a spell of the material nature, but that spell can easily be broken by hearing the holy name of the Lord. That's why Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, giving us the voice of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who says, "jīv jāgo"—come out of the spell and come under the spell of the holy name. "Mahātmānas tu māṁ pārtha daivīṁ prakṛtim āśritāḥ"—take shelter of that transcendental realm, the holy name, and the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That's what we're doing. It's a very high-minded purpose. So, feel free to give your full attention to the chanting. Just listen to the mantra and practice being present for the mantra, having your mind hold on to that vibration for a long time—as long as possible. When it goes away, bring it back again. That's the practice. Keep doing it again and again and again. Soon you'll catch the holy name, or the holy name will catch you, and you'll be wise and happy. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #japajolt #makejapagreatagain #mantrameditation #chantharekrishnaandbehapy #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

Isabel limpia en el Museo desde hace 20 años. Su función no es baladí. Nos explica el día a día de tener 5.000 metros cuadrados presentables para la siguiente visita. Su fuerte son las vitrinas. Nadie las deja mejor que ella. La celebración del Día Internacional de los Museos es año tras año una oportunidad para reivindicar el papel de los museos como espacios vivos, abiertos y conectados con la sociedad. En 2026, el Museo de Menorca se suma con una propuesta que combina patrimonio, experiencia cultural y participación ciudadana, alineándose con el espíritu global de esta jornada impulsada por el ICOM bajo el lema Museos uniendo un mundo dividido, que pone el foco en el diálogo, la inclusión y la construcción de comunidad a través de la cultura.Más que una simple efeméride, el Día Internacional de los Museos se ha convertido en una invitación a redescubrir estos equipamientos como espacios de encuentro y reflexión. En Menorca, esta celebración toma una dimensión especialmente significativa, puesto que el museo actúa como puente entre el pasado y el presente de la isla.Una celebración cultural arraigada en el territorioEl Museu de Menorca entiende esta jornada como una oportunidad para reforzar el vínculo con el público local y visitante. Situado en el corazón de Mahón e instalado en un antiguo convento franciscano, el museo se convierte en un escenario privilegiado para reivindicar la memoria histórica menorquina y su riqueza patrimonial.En el marco del Día Internacional de los Museos 2026, la institución apuesta por una experiencia cultural singular: el maridaje musical en el museo, una actividad pensada para público adulto que combina música, patrimonio y degustación en un entorno patrimonial único. Esta propuesta tendrá lugar en el claustro del museo y ofrece una experiencia sensorial que trasciende la visita tradicional, convirtiendo el patrimonio en una vivencia compartida.Este tipo de actividades responde a una nueva forma de entender los museos: no sólo como espacios de exposición, sino como escenarios de experiencias culturales capaces de activar emociones y generar conexiones con el público.El museo como espacio de experiencia y participaciónEl Día Internacional de los Museos invita a replantear la relación entre las instituciones culturales y la ciudadanía. El Museo de Menorca participa en esta filosofía apostando por formatos que fomentan la proximidad y la participación activa.El maridaje musical no es sólo una actividad lúdica; es también una forma de interpretar el patrimonio desde una mirada contemporánea. La música y el vino dialogan con la arquitectura histórica del claustro y con el relato museográfico del centro, creando un ambiente que favorece la conversación, el intercambio y el descubrimiento cultural.Este planteamiento conecta plenamente con el espíritu internacional de la celebración, que defiende a los museos como agentes sociales capaces de unir a personas de procedencias diversas y generar espacios de convivencia cultural.En este sentido, el Museu de Menorca refuerza su función como institución abierta, adaptable y comprometida con la comunidad, apostando por iniciativas que hacen accesible la cultura a nuevos públicos.Una cita en el calendario cultural de MenorcaLa conmemoración del Día Internacional de los Museos se inscribe también en un movimiento global que cada mes de mayo moviliza museos de todo el mundo con actividades especiales, horarios ampliados y propuestas gratuitas o participativas pensadas para acercar la cultura a todos.En Menorca, esta jornada refuerza el papel del museo como motor cultural de la isla. La actividad programada no sólo celebra el patrimonio histórico, sino que contribuye a dinamizar la vida cultural local y consolidar el museo como un espacio contemporáneo, capaz de dialogar con las inquietudes actuales.El claustro se convierte así en un punto de encuentro donde historia, música y experiencia compartida confluyen, generando una nueva forma de acercarse al patrimonio menorquín.Celebrar el pasado pensando en el futuroEl Día Internacional de los Museos 2026 en el Museo de Menorca es, en definitiva, una invitación a mirar el patrimonio desde una perspectiva viva y participativa. Lejos de la idea de museo estático, la propuesta pone en valor la capacidad de los equipamientos culturales para evolucionar y conectar con la sociedad contemporánea.A través de una actividad que combina cultura, emoción y convivencia, el museo reafirma su compromiso con la divulgación del patrimonio y la creación de experiencias significativas para el público. Celebrar el Día Internacional

I went to Vṛndāvana for Puruṣottama-māsa. It was right after 9/11 and the plane was empty; there were only a couple of people on there. When we landed in Delhi, it was really hot because it was 2001—imagine that. It was very hot because it was still September when I got there. Everybody wanted to know about what was going to happen to America, what was going to happen to the world, because of that attack. But once I got into Vṛndāvana, there were so many millions of people coming there. I've never seen Vṛndāvana more crowded. I was staying at Govardhana, and people were coming for Govardhana-parikramā 24 hours a day. There was not a lull. In fact, on at least one night, I waited to see if the crowd abated at any time. I was with Mādhava Mahārāja, my godbrother; we stayed at Rādhā-kuṇḍa that night at Bhakti Svarūpa Dāmodara Mahārāja's ashram, and we'd wake up—each of us, every hour—to look out of the bars on the ashram window to see if the crowds going around had slowed down. And they never did for the whole month. People came from all over India to come to Vṛndāvana during that time. I completely forgot about the world and what was happening in America. It was a time in which people were just so absorbed in taking advantage of the mercy of the Lord that they had no other care in the world. So, all of us can take advantage at any time, but this is the great excuse we have: that we're offered a time in which we can fully absorb ourselves. We have to keep taking advantage of every opportunity to go deeper, because it's the ultimate goal of life. When we have these time periods in which the śāstras say there's extra, then we should use it as an excuse to go deeper into our own practice and see what it feels like to have no other concern in the world except for remembering Kṛṣṇa, chanting Kṛṣṇa's names, and distributing them to other people.

I was thinking about Prahlāda Mahārāj. kaumāra ācaret prājño dharmān bhāgavatān iha durlabhaṁ mānuṣaṁ janma tad apy adhruvam arthadam (SB 7.6.1) He talked about how one should start the process of education very early. He got direct knowledge from Nārada Muni. But most people don't get that benefit, so it's very difficult to be on track. In fact, it is impossible without some knowledge intervention. anarthopaśamaṁ sākṣād bhakti-yogam adhokṣaje lokasyājānato vidvāṁś cakre sātvata-saṁhitām (SB 1.7.6) The Bhāgavatam says most people are in ignorance: lokasyājānato vidvāṁś. Cakre sātvata-saṁhitām— Śrīla Vyāsadeva's anxiety was that everyone should have the Bhāgavatam, or I should say, his anxiety is that everyone doesn't have the Bhāgavatam, and they should have it. Our whole bent in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is towards education. Those who come can hear, and those who can't come, they should be able to hear also. We should reach out to them and give them an opportunity. Humans can self-educate also, in the sense that if they're smart enough to learn how to read—or even if they can't read, if they just hear from another person who's giving parampara knowledge—then they can come out of ignorance. But it doesn't happen automatically, and it definitely doesn't happen if there's an inculcation of ignorance. anyad evāhur vidyayā- nyad āhur avidyayā iti śuśruma dhīrāṇāṁ ye nas tad vicacakṣire (Śrī Īśopaniṣad Mantra 10) There's a big difference, what kind of knowledge you get, or if you're given ignorance as so-called "knowledge." ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

“Mother Matters” is a Dharma talk offered at Two Hands Sangha exploring the many dimensions of motherhood, care, grief, gratitude, and the maternal heart. Mother's Day is not always simple. For some, it is joyful. For others, it carries loss, longing, regret, complicated relationships, or deep tenderness. In this talk we'll explore the Buddha's own experience with maternal loss, the story of Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī who raised him, and how the Dharma invites us to hold love and suffering together with compassion and honesty. May it be of use to you!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

If you wish to support our podcast, please visit this link. Thank you! Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. The fifth in a series of six episodes recorded during the In the Footsteps of the Buddha pilgrimage, this instalment was made in Kushinagar, India, in February 2026. In it, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach Jo Confino are joined by Zen Buddhist nun Sister Tam Muoi and Dharma teacher Shantum Seth to reflect on the Buddha's final days and the legacy and continuation of his teachings. They also discuss Thich Nhat Hanh's passing and how Plum Village responded to his transition; the responsibility of current and future generations to continue his work and teachings; and the importance of the multi-fold community in preserving and spreading the Buddha’s teachings in a way that is relevant and accessible to the modern world. Furthermore, Shantum Seth provides historical context about the Buddha’s final journey and the events after his passing, including the first Buddhist council and the spread of Buddhism; Brother Phap Huu draws parallels between the Buddha’s and Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings and legacies; and Sister Tam Muoi discusses the importance of the monastic order in continuing the Buddha’s teachings – as well as Thich Nhat Hanh’s vision for the Plum Village tradition to evolve and adapt while staying true to its core principles. About the pilgrimage: In 1988, Shantum Seth was invited by Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay) to organize a pilgrimage to the sacred sites associated with the Buddha's life across India. Subsequently, Thay encouraged Shantum to continue guiding such journeys each year, offering pilgrimage itself as a mindfulness practice – one that the Buddha had suggested. Shantum has been leading these transformative journeys ever since, offering people from around the world the opportunity to follow In the Footsteps of the Buddha with awareness and insight. After 15 years at the United Nations, Shantum left to volunteer with the Ahimsa Trust, which represents Thay's work in India and promotes the practice of “peace in oneself and peace in the world”. Through Buddhapath, his expression of Right Livelihood, Shantum continues to guide pilgrimages and share the wisdom and culture of the places he visits in India and across Buddhist Asia, cultivating community through these deeply meaningful journeys.To learn more about upcoming pilgrimages, visit www.buddhapath.com, or follow Shantum on Facebook and Instagram at @eleven_directions. Shantum Seth, an ordained Dharmacharya (Dharma teacher) in the Buddhist Mindfulness lineage of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, teaches in India and across the world. A co-founder of Ahimsa Trust, he has been a student of Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings for the past 35 years, and, since 1988, has led pilgrimages and other multi-faith, educational, cultural, spiritual, and transformative journeys across diverse regions of India and Asia.

There’s only one moment to live and to touch life, and that is the very here and now.”“All conditioned reality is subject to decay. Strive on diligently – essentially meaning, Everything is impermanent; keep up the practice.” “Dwelling happily in the present moment is the insight of meditation. But dwelling happily in the present moment doesn’t mean that suffering doesn’t exist; doesn’t mean that our anger and our frustration is not there. But, no matter what the situation is – whether it is loss, grief, frustration, chaos – as a practitioner, we have to have the ability to dwell in the very here and now, and allow ourselves to see that wonder, because that wonder is the light that shines through the darkness, the fog, the chaos.” “When we’re reaching the end of our lives, we want to declutter. We want to put our affairs in order. We want to make sure, to the best of our abilities, that we leave life clean, that we don’t leave arguments, resentments, and suffering behind for the next generation to have to deal with.” “I have never met an individual. I meet the entire lineage of that person stretching back to the beginning of time – because, if there’d been an interruption, then you wouldn’t exist.” “The Buddha said, ‘I’ve never taught with a clenched fist, I have offered all the teachings for you to be calm, peaceful, transform your emotions, and be liberated. And so keep the Dharma as your island and be a light unto yourself, and keep the Dharma as your island.' So he’s very clear that the Dharma is his continuation; the teachings and practice are his continuation.” “In a country like India, the Buddha exists at a very ambient level, in the way we live our lives and feel the interconnectedness of everything, with nature, with other people.” “If we know how to suffer, we’re going to suffer a whole lot less.” “Thay would always include our lay friends. Whenever he was teaching in any ceremony he would always add, ‘And our lay friends, our sisters and our brothers from the lay community, the multi-fold community.' He would always correct the language as he went along, even if it wasn’t written down, to include everybody. And this was such a teaching for us that we want to continue it. We do not want to be a monastic community where the monastics are the privileged ones. Instead, we are all practicing together and all have different capacities and different things that we can offer.” “Thay once shared that his vision is that, one day, we’re all walking in the marketplace and see a monk walking by with peace and grace. And that monk is a bell of mindfulness. You see that monk and you stop and just breathe, connecting back to your spiritual dimension. And then you go on.” “Thay empowered us, each of us, and now we can empower so many other people. And I think it’s a reminder that we don’t need to look for the teachers and what impact they had; instead, we can look at the impact we are having every day, in all the interactions we have, in all the people we meet, in all of the thoughts we have and all the words we speak, in all the actions. We, each of us, are a continuation. And we’re not a continuation to one other person; we’re a continuation to all of life. The way we are present in nature is the way that nature can be present for us. The way that we are available to other people then gives people the opportunity to be available to others.” “Everything Thay did, he always reflected back to the Buddha. The Buddha’s whole way of teaching was also to empower everyone he met, to water the seeds of mindfulness and awakening in every person.”

Over the years, we've done quite a few lectures on Mā Chinnamastakā, one of the most mysterious and often among the most feared from of Mā with a very complex rasa-profile, at least as far as Her iconography is concerned. In 2024, in Goddess Worship in Tantrik Buddhism | The Buddhist Chinnamastā we looked at a Tibetan Buddhist tantra for Vajrayoginī & compared it to a "Hindu" tantra for Chinnamastakā to demonstrate that the Goddess tradition is the same across sectarian lines! Then, in 2025 we did How To Decapitate Yourself | Chinnamastā Jayanti a thrilling inquiry in the motif of decapitation that is pretty ubiquitous with Mā in many of Her representations. This lecture was like a hand grenade to destroy all vikalpas, differentiating thought constructs (the head) that obscure the mad joy of non-dual experience (headlessness) to allow the blood (bliss and power) to flow and imbue all aspects of life, now understood correctly in the light on non-duality. Going off the previous year's lecture, we engage a lot of Buddhist void and mind-only philosophers like Nagarjuna and Vasubandha alongside Gaudapada and more extreme non-dual masters like that. Now, I want to consider the two streams of blood to the left and right and by comparing them to the Idā, moon-channel and Pingalā, sun-channel and by comparing that in turn to the image of Kāmadeva and Rati making love on the horizontal plane, the seat of the rising Kundalinīin the Sushumnā nādi, I think we can say a few exciting things about why its important to still hold your head (maintain rational, grounded, controlled thinking, i.e jñāna) after decapitation, the mad ecstasy of devotion, i.,e bhakti!

If you want to do your best, you'd better get your rest.The quality of your sleep fundamentally affects the quality of your communication. Communicating well, Dr. Cheri Mah says, starts with being well-rested.“Sleep impacts nearly every aspect of how you function,” says Mah, a sleep physician, adjunct lecturer at Stanford Sleep Medicine Center, and internationally recognized expert on sleep and human performance. In her research and work, particularly with elite athletes and professional sports teams, she explores the link between getting rest and doing our best. “If you are getting quality sleep, you can think more clearly, react under pressure, make good judgment calls, have more patience, be more empathetic,” she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Mah and host Matt Abrahams explore strategies for better sleep, from bedtime routines to paying off “sleep debt” to the “nappuccino” — a caffeine-fueled power nap. Whether you struggle to sleep or can nod off at any time or place, Mah's insights reveal why doing our best requires getting our rest.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Cheri MahEp.183 Rethinks: How Anxiety Can Fuel Better Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:57) - Sleep & Performance (04:11) - Better Sleep Habits (06:16) - Quieting a Racing Mind (07:49) - Dr. Mah's Night Routine (09:19) - Sleep Extension (10:52) - Preparing for Big Events (11:44) - The Nappuccino (13:21) - Managing Jet Lag (15:56) - Chronotypes Explained (18:00) - Starting the Day with Sleep (19:40) - The Final Three Question (23:57) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

A devotee is not vitally concerned with the ups and downs of the material world, but is concerned with going on with his or her service without deviation. Of course, Lord Nṛsiṃhadeva recaptured Hiraṇyakaśipu, and this resembles the tussle between a cat and a mouse. On the lawn of the Denver temple. I saw the cat—who was a temple cat, doing its service—and it caught a mouse. The cat was sitting casually on the lawn, and the mouse was hopping along, and the cat pretended that, "Yeah, it's cool," but then it would pounce again and catch the mouse. Prabhupāda points out in this section that Lord Nṛsiṃhadeva is part cat, and therefore He played with Hiraṇyakaśipu. He bifurcated him—you know what that means. He eviscerated him? It means He pulled out his entrails; He pulled out his heart as well. We have it from Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura that when pulling out his heart, the Lord marveled at how a living being, especially an elevated one, could carry such burdenous, material desires within the heart to want to conquer the worlds. He thought, "Why would you keep these things in your heart?" This is also an invitation for everyone to unburden him or herself from carrying around material desires. We find from the contrast between Hiraṇyakaśipu—vilulitanin—in his prayers, Prahlāda Mahārāja says: "Why would I want any stake in the material world, since my father had the biggest stake of anyone in history, and he lost it within a moment?" He was in such a powerful position that when he moved his eyebrows, he forced people to do things; they would cower. And by his mystical potencies, he would be able to dictate to them whatever he wanted, and they would have to do it, he said. But he lost all that within a moment.

Na hora de comprar um celular, um notebook ou até um smartwatch, você está escolhendo apenas um produto ou entrando em um ecossistema? Esse é o tema do novo episódio do Podcast Canaltech, que discute como a integração entre dispositivos se tornou um dos principais fatores na decisão de compra de tecnologia. Hoje, mais do que especificações técnicas, muitos consumidores já consideram como celular, computador, TV e outros aparelhos funcionam juntos no dia a dia. Para explicar esse movimento, conversamos com Reinaldo Sakis, diretor de pesquisa da IDC para a América Latina. Ele mostra como o conceito de ecossistema evoluiu nos últimos anos, por que empresas como Apple, Samsung e Lenovo apostam tanto nessa estratégia e como isso impacta diretamente o comportamento do consumidor. Na prática, o ecossistema promete mais praticidade e produtividade, com recursos como compartilhamento rápido de arquivos, integração entre dispositivos e continuidade de tarefas. Por outro lado, também pode limitar a liberdade de escolha e pesar no bolso. No episódio, você entende como esse modelo funciona, quais são os benefícios reais e o que considerar antes de decidir se vale a pena investir em um único ecossistema ou buscar o melhor custo-benefício. Você também vai conferir: Xiaomi pode lançar celular com bateria gigante de 8.000 mAh, Dona do ChatGPT é processada após falha em caso de massacre e eSIM já é realidade no Brasil, veja como aposentar o chip físico.

In deze aflevering van De Schaal van Hebben test Stijn Goossens twee smartphones in het middensegment: de Samsung Galaxy A57 en de Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, beiden rond de 500 euro en beiden de afgelopen maand gelanceerd. Maar wat hebben deze middenklasse-smartphones te bieden voor dat geld? De Samsung Galaxy A57 is de opvolger van de populaire A56. De A-serie is razend populair in het middensegment: degelijk, all-round en zonder poespas. De A57 heeft een 6,7 inch AMOLED-scherm met 120Hz, een Exynos 1680-processor, een driecamerasysteem met 50 megapixel hoofdlens en een batterij van 5.000 mAh. Het toestel is IP68-gecertificeerd, slechts 6,9 mm dun en krijgt zes jaar Android-updates. Toch is Stijn dit jaar voor het eerst kritisch. Ten opzichte van de A56 is er vrijwel niets veranderd: nieuwe chip, iets dunner, nieuw kleurtje. Camera, batterij en scherm zijn nagenoeg identiek aan vorig jaar. Tegelijkertijd is de adviesprijs met zo'n 10 procent gestegen naar 529 euro voor 128 GB. De A56 is inmiddels te koop voor rond de 320 euro, wat de A57 op dit moment moeilijk te verdedigen maakt. De Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is een Britse smartphone met een uitgesproken identiteit. Normaal staat het merk bekend om transparante achterkanten en lichtgevende strips, de zogeheten glyphs, die oplichten bij notificaties. De (4a) Pro doet het anders: voor het eerst een aluminium achterkant, strak en premium. Naast de drie camera's zit een opvallend rond scherm, iets kleiner dan een horloge, waarop de tijd staat, animaties verschijnen bij notificaties en dat zelfs als camerapreview kan dienen. De telefoon heeft een 6,83 inch AMOLED-scherm met 144Hz, een Snapdragon 7 Gen 4-processor en een telelens met 3,5 keer optische zoom. De adviesprijs begint bij 499 euro voor 128 GB. Concurrentie in dit segment is groot, van Chinese merken tot Google en Apple met oudere modellen.

Here at Govardhan Hill, many people come to ask your Girirāj for anything. In fact, in this Śrī Īśopaniṣad (Mantra 8), it is said: sa paryagāc chukram akāyam avraṇam asnāviraḿ śuddham apāpa-viddham kavir manīṣī paribhūḥ svayambhūr yāthātathyato 'rthān vyadadhāch śāśvatībhyaḥ samābhyaḥ Kṛṣṇa is the one who has been fulfilling everyone's desires since time immemorial. So, whatever we have now is a result of our previous requests and our various desires. Now is the lifetime when we can be completely on track and only ask Kṛṣṇa for pure devotional service: na dhanaṁ na janaṁ na sundarīṁ kavitāṁ vā jagad-īśa kāmaye mama janmani janmanīśvare bhavatād bhaktir ahaitukī tvayi When Lord Narasiṁhadeva was tearing out the heart of Hiraṇyakaśipu, he commented, "How is it that you've allowed so many unwanted things to accumulate in your heart?" He was asking His devotee, so we can ask ourselves the same thing: How have these things come into our hearts? One way or the other is the answer. The solution is to ask Lord Narasiṁhadeva now: "Please tear them out and let me get on with my real life of pure devotional service." Lord Narasiṁhadeva kī jaya! Śrī Prahlāda Mahārāja kī jaya!

Você sabia que um sistema pode ser invadido em apenas 27 segundos? No episódio desta quarta-feira (29), mergulhamos nos dados alarmantes do Relatório Global de Ameaças 2026 da CrowdStrike. O convidado é o vice-presidente de engenharia de vendas da CrowdStrike para a América Latina, Marcos Ferreira. Discutimos como o cibercrime evoluiu para operar de forma assustadoramente rápida, abandonando em grande parte os tradicionais vírus e malwares para invadir redes diretamente pela "porta da frente", usando senhas vazadas e credenciais válidas. Além disso, exploramos a nova era das ameaças digitais, onde grupos cibercriminosos apoiados por governos — como o da Coréia do Norte — utilizam inteligência artificial para forjar perfis, passar em entrevistas de emprego e se infiltrar silenciosamente no RH de grandes corporações.

Medicine is something that everyone's vitally interested in. I have anecdotal proof every time I get something. For instance, when I was just in the UK, I was supposed to speak at an event called Rise. It was on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I didn't speak on Saturday or Sunday; only a little bit on Monday. The last sound that came from my mouth was on Friday night, and the next morning, I couldn't say a word. My voice was locked up. For over two days due to the very kind-hearted nature of devotees, I had a little shelf in my hotel room with no less than twelve different kinds of medicine that were run up. Everybody said, "You take this; it'll knock it out in an hour." Of course, I'm never ever sure—if I take all of them—if it was a combination, or one of the other combinations or permutations, or if it was none at all and I just would have got better myself anyway. But the idea of medicine—auṣadhi or rasāyana—is very appealing. The root word of medicine, med, is Latin; it means "to take appropriate measures." Everyone feels that if I can just adjust a little bit, if I just have the right kind of "goop," then maybe I'll feel better about myself. Some people take analgesics to the extreme because they feel it's really hard to feel good in this world, so they take chemical substances to feel better all the time. But then that doesn't work out because there's a limit to how much you can take; and then you don't get the same effect, and after a while, you just become addicted to it. So, this is a conundrum. In the 1980s, there was a famous musician from San Francisco—so I could talk about him—his name was Huey Lewis. Huey wrote some famous songs. We met Huey once while we were waiting in line for an airplane. Unfortunately, he got a disease where he couldn't hear properly, so he can't sing anymore. But in his day, he wrote many hit songs, and one of them was entitled, "I Need a New Drug." In the song, the lyrics bemoan the fact that there are all these different kinds of cures and drugs—mostly drugs that have severe side effects. The kinds of advertisements we see for pharmaceuticals these days, even though there are billions of dollars put into the research, always have a disclaimer and a warning at the end. In fact, if it's a 60-second advertisement, 10 seconds talks about how good you're going to look after you take this, and the next 50 seconds is about how you might have bleeding ulcers from it and it could cause death. This is a problem. 'Duḥkhauṣadham tad api duḥkham atad-dhiyāham.' Prahlāda Mahārāja says the medicine you get here in the material world is often worse than the disease itself. But in taking the rasāyana-kathā—the topics about Kṛṣṇa—into the ear, it very gently enters the heart. satāṁ prasaṅgām mama vīrya-saṁvido bhavanti hṛt-karṇa-rasāyanāḥ kathāḥ Hṛt means the heart and karṇa means the ear. So you take the medicine here (the ear) and it ends up here (the heart). Taj-joṣaṇād āśv apavarga-vartmani—this means that very quickly, you're going to be on a different path in life. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------

Smartphones sind längst noch nicht am Zenit ihrer Entwicklung angekommen. Raum für Verbesserungen gibt es etwa beim Laden und der Akkutechnik. Doch die drei etablierten Hersteller Apple, Google und Samsung setzen eher auf Evolution statt auf Revolution. Dass es auch anders geht, zeigen die chinesischen Hersteller Honor, Oppo und Xiaomi. So bringen deren neue Smartphones Akkukapazitäten von 6.000 bis 7.500 mAh und damit ungeahnte Laufzeiten -- etwa mit über 30 Stunden Videowiedergabe. Wenn ihnen dann doch der Saft ausgeht, laden manche Modelle schneller drahtlos als andere am Kabel. Steffen Herget erklärt in der aktuellen Ausgabe von c't uplink diese und andere technische Neuerungen. Außer beim Akku machen High-End-Smartphones aus China auch bei der Fotoqualität gehörige Fortschritte. Wir sprechen darüber, mit welchen Techniken Xiaomi mittlerweile genauso gute Fotos bei Dunkelheit macht, wie der bislang hervorragende Nachtmodus von Googles Pixel-Smartphones und was die Hardware-Partnerschaften mit Hasselblad und Leica bringen. Untätig sind andere Hersteller aber auch nicht: Google integriert in seine Pixel-Telefone mehr KI als jeder andere, während Samsung mit dem Privacy Display ein Highlight auf den Markt bringt.

When a company moves from lab validation to a paid commercial order, something fundamental has shifted. HPQ Silicon $HPQ / $HPQFF and its partner Novacium have secured their first commercial battery order from a European drone manufacturer, marking a clear transition from development to revenue. This is not a test or pilot. It is a paid order using next-generation silicon-based batteries that recently delivered over 7,000 mAh in testing, offering higher capacity than traditional graphite batteries.The order signals a move from promising technology to real-world use. Backed by up to $3 million in Canadian federal funding, HPQ is advancing toward commercial scale with batteries designed to deliver higher energy capacity and longer flight times, while supporting deployment in standardized battery pack formats. The batteries are certified for global transport and have demonstrated strong durability through repeated charge cycles, reinforcing readiness for real-world deployment.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWCommercial Milestone: First paid commercial battery order secured, marking the shift from R&D to revenue generationHigh Performance: Batteries delivered over 7,000 mAh in April 2026 testing, placing them among top performers in their categoryDrop-In Solution: Designed to work within existing drone systems, allowing immediate performance improvements without redesignProven Durability: Maintains strong performance through repeated use, addressing a key challenge for silicon battery adoptionGlobal Ready: Certified for international shipping, enabling deployment across multiple marketsGovernment Backing: Up to $3 million federal funding supports production scale-up and highlights strategic importanceSTRATEGIC IMPLICATIONSFor years, silicon-based batteries have promised higher performance but struggled to translate into real-world products. Many technologies achieved strong lab results but failed under repeated use or required costly redesigns. That is why graphite batteries have remained dominant despite lower performance.HPQ's approach changes that. By integrating silicon-based materials into formats that work with existing manufacturing and systems, the company removes a major barrier to adoption. Customers do not need to redesign their products. They can upgrade performance immediately.Demand for longer flight time is increasing across commercial, industrial, and defense drone markets, while traditional battery solutions are approaching their limits. Technologies that can deliver better performance without added complexity are well positioned to capture that demand.Government support reinforces this direction. Federal funding for production scale-up signals growing strategic importance, while also supporting the path toward larger-scale manufacturing.“Projects like HPQ Silicon's strengthen Canada's ability to manufacture components for high-performance batteries, and are creating a world-class battery ecosystem.” – The Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural ResourcesWORDS FROM THE CEO“We went from discussions to delivering next-generation batteries in about a month. That's what happens when the product fits into existing systems. We're not asking customers to redesign anything—we're giving them more energy in the same format. And this order is commercial. It's paid. We've moved from ‘will it work' to ‘we have delivered.'” – Bernard TourillonINVESTOR TAKEAWAYHPQ Silicon has reached a key inflection point. The company now has global shipping certification, government support for scaling production, and its first commercial battery order, all within a short timeframe.Its battery solutions are designed for immediate use across multiple markets, including Europe and North America, without requiring major system changes. As production expands, the company is positioning itself to meet increasing demand for higher-performance energy storage.

Small Cap Daily Wire — April 22, 2026: Gold, Silver, Copper and Battery Tech Deliver a Heavy News MorningWednesday's Canadian small cap tape is anchored by resource-expansion and discovery-grade announcements, a strategic financing and a commercial milestone in advanced battery materials — one of the denser news mornings of the month for junior mining and deep-tech catalyst hunters.Leading the board, LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR | OTCQB: LFLRF | FSE: 3WK0) reported drilling from the Swanson Gold Project in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt near Val-d'Or, Québec that the Company characterized as confirming a large-scale gold discovery. Hole SW-25-080 returned 1.18 g/t Au over 255.04m, SW-25-081 hit 1.65 g/t Au over 136.1m and SW-25-079 cut 2.29 g/t Au over 68.30m, with an isolated 86.8 g/t Au over 1.0m outside defined envelopes. CEO Paul Ténière said the holes extend the deposit beyond the current resource envelope and highlight higher-grade zones. Chairman Kal Malhi called Swanson, at 190+ sq km, one of the largest gold projects in the Val-d'Or region. Mineralization now traces 275m+ along strike with 150m average widths and extends past 300m depth.The morning's second headline is HPQ Silicon Inc. (TSX-V: HPQ | OTCQB: HPQFF | FRA: O08), whose R&D partner Novacium received an initial battery pack order from a European drone manufacturer in professional, industrial and defense markets. The order uses GEN4 21700 cells in an 8S2P configuration delivering ~10,000–13,400 mAh, with an 8S3P quote for 15,000–20,100 mAh. Follows GEN4 cells hitting 7,030 mAh, 330.9 Wh/kg and 937.5 Wh/L with 96%+ capacity retention after 100 cycles. CEO Bernard Tourillon framed the deal as a foundational step toward standardized battery packs for European and North American markets.Base and precious metals exploration delivered its own headline as Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX-V: EMO | OTCQX: EMOTF | FSE: LLJA) reported drill results from El Cura on its wholly owned Iberian Belt West project in Spain. Hole EC097 returned 4.9m at 3.5% Cu, 1.95 g/t Au and 95.63 g/t Ag (incl. 1.6m at 7.5% Cu, 4.43 g/t Au). EC096 hit 5.9m of 0.8% Cu, 2.7% Zn and 46.47 g/t Ag. EC097 is now El Cura's westernmost intercept, creating a 958m span from EC002 with a copper-gold rich trend emerging. Emerita also passed on the previously contemplated Nueva Celti acquisition to focus on IBW, San Antonio and Nuevo Tintillo.On the financing side, Element 29 Resources Inc. (TSXV: ECU | OTCQB: EMTRF | BVL: ECU) closed a non-brokered private placement issuing 32,245,269 shares at $1.10 for gross proceeds of C$35,469,796. Alpayana S.A.C., led by Chair Alejandro Gubbins, entered as a new strategic investor with 9.9%, and Wheaton Precious Metals CEO Randy Smallwood also participated. Proceeds fund the 2026 drill program at the Elida porphyry Cu-Mo-Ag deposit in Perú.Rounding out the day, Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX: ELO | OTCQX: ELRRF | FSE: P2QM) released an expanded updated MRE for its Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic project in Potosi, Bolivia. 2026 MRE outlines Indicated 85.17 Mt at 40 g/t Ag, 1.21% Zn, 0.71% Pb (109.53 Moz Ag, 1.03 Mt Zn, 0.60 Mt Pb), plus Inferred 945.43 Mt containing 248.60 Moz Ag, 4.72 Mt Zn, 1.50 Mt Pb, 290,000 t Sn and 1.21 Moz Au. Indicated silver grade is +65% vs. 2023; tin recovery into a 5% Sn concentrate improved from 50.7% to 58.9%.For retail small cap investors, April 22 reinforces a theme: Canadian-listed juniors continue to expand resource scale and grade across gold, silver, tin and copper, while critical-materials names are translating lab results into commercial orders.

Chanting is one of the most widespread Buddhist practices, yet often one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, we explore what chanting really is, how sound plays an important role in Buddhist practice, and how chanting developed from the early oral tradition.You'll learn how chanting is used in both Theravāda and Mahāyāna Buddhism, what dhāraṇīs are (and why you've probably heard them before), and why traditional languages like Pāli and Sanskrit matter—even if you don't understand every word. We'll also look at popular chants across traditions and offer simple ways to start chanting, especially if you're hesitant or unsure.Contact Alan: alanpeto.com/contactPodcast Homepage: alanpeto.com/podcastPodcast Disclaimer: alanpeto.com/legal/podcast-disclaimer

This is the initial session of our 1 Day Meditation Retreat at Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage with Ajahn Medhino. Ajahn explains the program and provides instructions for meditation, including a guided meditation. He also leads the community in taking the Triple Refuge and the five or eight precepts. Venerable Ajahn Medhino has been ordained as a bhikkhu for 33 years. Originally from the Netherlands, he received his ordination as a Buddhist monk at Wat Pah Nanachat in Thailand. However, for the last 12 years he has lived in Sri Lanka, where he has established a hermitage in Badulla district, at Udakiruwa Forest, located roughly between Bibile and Monaragala.

Thus although the subject matter is durvijñeyam, extremely difficult to understand, it becomes easy if one follows the prescribed method. Coming in touch with the Supreme Personality of Godhead is possible through pure devotional service, which begins with śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ. In this regard, Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura quotes a verse from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (2.8.5): praviṣṭaḥ karṇa-randhreṇa svānāṁ bhāva-saroruham. The process of hearing and chanting enters the core of the heart, and in this way one becomes a pure devotee. By continuing this process, one comes to the stage of transcendental love, and then he appreciates the transcendental name, form, qualities and pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In other words, a pure devotee, by devotional service, is able to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead despite many material impediments, which are all various energies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Easily making his way through these impediments, a devotee comes directly in contact with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. After all, the material impediments described in these verses are but various energies of the Lord. When a devotee is eager to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he prays to the Lord: ayi nanda-tanuja kiṅkaraṁ patitaṁ māṁ viṣame bhavāmbudhau kṛpayā tava pāda-paṅkaja- sthita-dhūlī-sadṛśaṁ vicintaya “O son of Mahārāja Nanda [Kṛṣṇa], I am Your eternal servitor, yet somehow or other I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death. Please pick me up from this ocean of death and place me as one of the atoms at Your lotus feet.” Being pleased with the devotee, the Lord turns all his material impediments into spiritual service. In this connection Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura quotes a verse from the Viṣṇu Purāṇa: hlādinī sandhinī samvit tvayy ekā sarva-saṁsthitau hlāda-tāpa-karī miśrā tvayi no guṇa-varjite In the material world, the spiritual energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is manifested as tāpa-karī, which means “causing miseries.” Everyone hankers for happiness, but although happiness originally comes from the pleasure potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, in the material world, because of material activities, the pleasure potency of the Lord becomes a source of miseries (hlāda-tāpa-karī). False happiness in the material world is the source of distress, but when one's endeavors for happiness are redirected toward the satisfaction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, this tāpa-karī element of misery is vanquished. An example given in this connection is that extracting fire from wood is certainly difficult, but when the fire comes out it burns the wood to ashes. In other words, experiencing the Supreme Personality of Godhead is extremely difficult for those devoid of devotional service, but everything becomes easier for a devotee, and thus he can very easily meet the Supreme Lord.

I would like to offer this class to my very dear friend and Godbrother, Caru Dāsa Prabhu, who is one of the great pioneers of the saṅkīrtana movement. I always told him that if he wasn't doing what he was doing—spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness in such innovative ways—he should have been the president of the country. He always reminded me of a president or a very highly placed senator; he was astoundingly articulate. Just listening to him was always a feast for the ears. He started a radio station way before social media or mass communication was available. When people were still sending snail mail, he had a bustling radio station where he was regularly putting out Kṛṣṇa Conscious information. He went off to Utah—it's a Mormon state—and made friends with all the Mormons. They love him there; everybody likes him wherever he goes. He started beautiful temples that his wife, Vaibhavī, designed herself. Both of them are highly skilled. Anyway, I've been really conflicted because, hearing that he passed—I guess we heard about it on Tuesday night. On one side, I can just see the momentum he had in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Externally, I didn't lament at all because I thought, "Well, of course, he was about 80 years old, and he just stepped out, moved on and obviously, he had a completely successful life from my perspective and the way I saw Prabhupāda talk about Jayānanda Prabhu, who passed away just before Prabhupāda." So, we had some vision about how Prabhupāda would observe devotees leaving the world, and he wrote about it. On the other side, I noticed I've been mourning very deeply. There is psychological adjustment for me happened after Badrīnārāyaṇa Mahārāja left, and after Caru Prabhu left. I've been having really intense dreams. I realized that after Badrīnārāyaṇa Mahārāja left, I was imagining what it would be like to have died. I actually put myself in the position of: 'Okay, I already passed away and I came back into the life I'm in now, and I'm watching myself.' I could just feel that it was a mourning process. It's one of the hardest things to cope with, and that is the loss of God siblings. We lose mothers, fathers, and so forth, but many of us—at least for me—I have known my Godbrothers and Godsisters longer than I knew my parents for. It is the hardest thing, but it's also part of the maturing process in Krishna consciousness to lose parents and loved ones, and then cope, tolerate, and be observant of how Krishna tells us to process such things, and watch how Prabhupāda did it also. Then, of course, when you start losing beloved Godbrothers, reality shifts. Once again, there's another way of processing everything; taking shelter of the Holy Name and the śāstra becomes more urgent. It's always urgent, but it seems more urgent in those cases.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through everything the iPhone 18 Pro will feature, according to the latest rumors. Following last year's major redesign, the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models are expected to feature a very similar design to their predecessors. There is expected to be a smaller Dynamic Island, with Face ID's flood illuminator component moved under the screen to reduce the cutout's size. It is rumored to be approximately 35% narrower than the iPhone 17 Pro's, shrinking from around 20.7mm to 13.5mm. The Pro Max will be slightly thicker than its predecessor, rising to around 8.8mm and over 240 grams to accommodate a larger battery of 5,100 to 5,200 mAh, up from the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max's 5,088 mAh.The rear will see a slight design shift as well. Apple is reportedly dropping the two-tone look found on ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ models in favor of a more seamless aesthetic, with improved alignment between the Ceramic Shield back glass and the aluminum frame. The devices are also expected to come in a special red color.The camera system will undergo more substantial changes. Both Pro models' main 48-megapixel Fusion camera are rumored to feature variable aperture, which would allow users to control the lens opening to manage light intake and depth of field. The aperture would function similarly to a DSLR camera, giving photographers greater control over focus sharpness and background blur in different lighting conditions. Additionally, Samsung is developing a new three-layer sensor for the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌, designed to reduce noise, improve dynamic range, and enhance camera responsiveness compared to Sony's current sensors.The Camera Control button is also getting a simplification. Rather than supporting both capacitive touch gestures and pressure sensing as on the iPhone 17, the iPhone 18 will rely on pressure sensing alone, reducing manufacturing complexity and the cost of repairs, while improving ease of use. The A20 Pro chip will mark Apple's debut of a 2-nanometer processor, with a reportedly 15% speed increase and about 30% better power efficiency compared to the A19 Pro. The chip will use TSMC's Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Moduletechnology, integrating RAM directly onto the same wafer as the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine rather than mounting it separately, which should improve performance and battery life while reducing the physical footprint of the chip.The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models will also feature Apple's C2 modem, which is expected to bring faster speeds, improved power efficiency, and support for mmWave 5G in the United States, a capability absent from the C1 and C1X modems used in earlier iPhones. Other upgrades include Apple's N2 wireless chip and 5G satellite internet.The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max are expected to launch in September 2026, with the standard ‌iPhone 18‌ and the lower-end iPhone 18e following in spring 2027. A foldable iPhone is also expected to debut alongside the Pro models in the fall.

The Buddha's Last Teaching: Impermanence & ParinirvāṇaIn this episode, we explore one of the most meaningful and human moments in all of Buddhism: the Buddha's final days, his final teachings, and what his parinirvāṇa (his final passing or 'final Nirvana') really means for us today.We'll walk through the Buddha's last journey to Kuśinagara, the touching conversations he had with Ānanda, and the Saṅgha, and the powerful guidance he offered even while facing the end of his life. His final message, which is that all conditioned things are impermanent, and that we must strive with diligence, becomes a living reminder of how to practice right now, in our everyday lives.You'll also learn how Theravada and Mahayana understand parinirvāṇa.For example, Theravāda emphasizes the historical Buddha's final passing and the importance of the Dharma as our guide. In contrast, Mahāyāna adds the perspective of the Buddha's three bodies (trikāya) and explains why awakened bodhisattvas attain nirvāṇa but choose not to enter parinirvāṇa, remaining in the world out of compassion for all beings.This episode is both a teaching and a reflection. It's an invitation to look closely at impermanence, to appreciate the preciousness of this moment, and to carry the Buddha's final encouragement into your own practice.Contact Alan: ⁠alanpeto.com/contact⁠Podcast Homepage: ⁠alanpeto.com/podcast⁠Podcast Disclaimer: ⁠alanpeto.com/legal/podcast-disclaimer⁠

Don't call it a comeback, coelacanth's been here for years. We discuss life on Earth 400 million years ago, a military escort mission, our own fish ancestors, five year pregnancies, underwater handstands, an unnecessarily complicated puzzle in the third generation Pokémon games, and so much more.

Chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa is a transcendental activity meant to revive our original consciousness. Our original consciousness is Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and we're in a sleeping state. We've forgotten our identity, and we've forgotten our relationship with Kṛṣṇa. The sound of the Mahā-mantra is non-different from Kṛṣṇa's flute. It descends from the spiritual world; it is not a sound of this world. It requires practice and chanting because the mind is fickle and has a tendency to divert to other subject matters. Therefore, it's essential for one who wants to have a stable life—what to speak of becoming spiritually advanced—to practice on a daily basis: chanting and paying attention to the sound vibration of the Mahā-mantra. We're lucky because we haven't been given many mantras; we've been given one mantra. The fatigue of trying to make too many choices is a strain on the brain. But Lord Caitanya gave us one mantra. Śrīla Prabhupāda gave us a number: 16. There are 16 words and 32 syllables in the mantra; therefore, we can practice and count the number of syllables that we're chanting, count the number of rounds that we're chanting, and stay in the training process. The other day, I was talking to a professor from Carnegie Mellon University, he is a neuroscientist and a psychologist. He teaches mindfulness. I told him about Rūpa Gosvāmī's directive that, in the beginning, chanting tastes like poison. I gave him Rūpa Gosvāmī's analogy: when you have jaundice and you drink sugarcane juice (which is the sweetest of the sweet), it tastes terrible. But as you get cured, you taste the nectar of the juice. It is perfectly analogous to chanting. Well, he's just learning about chanting, but he had a "eureka" moment. He demonstratively said, "Oh, this is the best of analogies!" and he wrote it down. He said, "Where are there more of these?" because his point to many people who try to train their brains is that it's very difficult, and it can even be torturous for some. He said: "You shouldn't think you're just going to start practicing meditation and then 'bliss out.' It takes a lot of practice, and you have to struggle through what I've mentioned before: benign discomfort." So, all those who take the time to try to train their brains understand this—or not all, but many. We should also understand and remember Rūpa Gosvāmī's analogy: that it is medicine. However, it's not just training the brain; it's connecting to Kṛṣṇa, and this is the main means that we have. So, it's worth the trouble. I'm preaching to the choir because you're here. But the point is: we need constant coaching to remember that this is the main process, that it is highly effective, and that we should do it every day. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------

My point is: you should assimilate what you have first. We already have so much, and it's highly assimilatable—but not many people have assimilated it. Who has fully assimilated the Śrī Īśopaniṣad? What is assimilation? What does it look like? Assimilation means you spend some time going deeply within the book: researching it, learning all the verses, and knowing the purports backwards and forwards—learning the verses backwards and forwards. We did that with 'Divinity and Divine Service.' In order to get full credit, you had to be able to recite the chapter forwards and backwards. That's the very beginning of assimilation. Hanumat Presaka Swami, one of the great thinkers and scholars in our movement—I just remember when he was frequenting ISV. He always kept a little pouch around his neck. What was in that pouch? The Upadeśāmṛta. But not just the Upadeśāmṛta; it was in Spanish. He wanted to challenge himself doubly, because that's how his brain works. He speaks Spanish, and he wanted to practice reading in Spanish. But everywhere he went, he would have that around his neck, and he'd read it and read it. When you assimilate a book, you'll find out how—or at least, when you attempt to assimilate one book, you start to realize—how deep it is and how much is really there. Generally, people get involved in things because they want to 'strike it rich quick.' That's why so many people live in California. In 1849, the world changed because there was a discovery of gold in the mountains of California. And actually, the world wealth situation dramatically increased at that time because so much natural gold was discovered. People came from all over the world, and they wanted to strike it rich. There's still the impulse in each person in the world that they want some way to get rich quick. In a business I once had, I was training people how to do business, and I noticed that people would come in, and then as soon as they had to make a few phone calls—which is actually work—they would quit and say, "I'm going to find another business that's easier." There's a tendency to do that in spiritual life also. Instead of reading the whole Bhagavad-gītā 108 times, or as Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta said, "You should read Prahlāda Mahārāja a hundred times and Dhruva Mahārāja a hundred times." Did you know it's mentioned in one of the commentaries that the gopīs used to read Dhruva Mahārāja and Prahlāda Mahārāja? They would weep reading those accounts of those little boys doing such austerities and so forth. Assimilate the Bhagavad-gītā. I know very few people who have actually gone deeply within the Bhagavad-gītā who can sit and discourse. I mean, Caitanya Caraṇa—he comments on it every day. He reads it deeply and thinks about it when he's sleeping at night; he's thinking about what he's going to present the next day, how to bring out topical points in the world and connect them to the Bhagavad-gītā. Ask him if he's assimilated the Bhagavad-gītā. What will he tell you? The more he's going into it, the more he's seeing how deep it is. What about the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam? Have you ever in your school days, or even now when you're in school, ever noticed the phenomenon where you finish a course and then realize you absorbed about 2% of what was in the textbook? I used to save all my textbooks. My garage was full of....
