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

iPhone 17 Air - การออกแบบที่บางเฉียบและการประนีประนอมกับแบตเตอรี่เอกสารสรุปนี้รวบรวมประเด็นหลักและข้อเท็จจริงที่สำคัญเกี่ยวกับ iPhone 17 Air โดยเน้นที่การออกแบบที่บางเฉียบและผลกระทบต่อแบตเตอรี่ อ้างอิงจากข้อมูลในแหล่งที่มาiPhone 17 Air ถูกวางตำแหน่งให้เป็นรุ่นใหม่ที่จะมาแทนที่ iPhone 16 Plus โดยมีจุดเด่นอยู่ที่ "ความบางเฉียบที่สุดเท่าที่ Apple เคยมีมา" แต่การประนีประนอมที่สำคัญคือ "ขนาดแบตเตอรี่ที่เล็กลงอย่างชัดเจน"ดีไซน์ที่บางที่สุดในประวัติศาสตร์ iPhone:iPhone 17 Air จะมีความบางเพียง 5.5 มม. เท่านั้น ทำให้เป็น iPhone ที่บางที่สุดเท่าที่เคยมีมาคาดว่าจะเปิดตัวพร้อมกับ iPhone รุ่นอื่นๆ ในเดือนกันยายน 2025แบตเตอรี่ที่บางเป็นพิเศษ:ภาพหลุดจากบล็อกในเกาหลี (Naver) เผยให้เห็นแบตเตอรี่ทรง L ที่บางเพียง 2.49 มม.มีการเปรียบเทียบความบางของแบตเตอรี่ว่า "เทียบเท่ากับการวางบัตรเครดิต 3 ใบซ้อนกัน!"แม้จะยังคงใช้แผ่นเหล็กหุ้มคล้ายกับ iPhone 17 Pro แต่เมื่อวางคู่กัน แบตเตอรี่ของ iPhone 17 Air แทบจะมองไม่เห็นเลยความจุแบตเตอรี่ที่ลดลงอย่างมีนัยสำคัญ:เพื่อแลกกับความบาง Apple ได้ลด "ความจุแบตเตอรี่ลงเหลือเพียง 2,900 mAh เท่านั้น"นี่คือการลดลง "อย่างมีนัยสำคัญ" จาก 4,674 mAh ใน iPhone 16 Plus ซึ่งหมายความว่าความจุลดลงมากกว่าครึ่งแม้จะยังดีกว่าข่าวลือก่อนหน้าที่คาดว่าจะต่ำถึง 2,500 mAh แต่ก็ยังถือว่าเป็น "ก้าวถอยหลังในแง่ของแบตเตอรี่เมื่อเทียบกับรุ่นก่อน"การเปลี่ยนลำดับความสำคัญ: ความบางเหนือความอึด:แหล่งข้อมูลระบุว่า "Apple เคยพัฒนาเรื่องแบตเตอรี่มากขึ้นในรุ่น Pro Max และ Plus แต่สำหรับ iPhone 17 Air ดูเหมือนว่า 'ความบาง' จะมาก่อน 'ความอึด'"คาดการณ์ว่า "ผู้ใช้งานหนักอาจต้องชาร์จระหว่างวันแน่นอน"อย่างไรก็ตาม ผู้ที่ชื่นชอบดีไซน์บางเฉียบอาจยอมรับการแลกเปลี่ยนนี้ได้ข้อคิดเห็นเพิ่มเติมและการตั้งคำถาม:iPhone 17 Air "คือการท้าทายแนวคิดดั้งเดิมของ iPhone โดยมุ่งไปที่ความบางเป็นหลัก"เกิดคำถามว่า "ในยุคที่ผู้ใช้ต้องการแบตเตอรี่อึดขึ้นเรื่อยๆ นี่อาจไม่ใช่สิ่งที่ทุกคนรอคอย"มีการทิ้งท้ายด้วยคำถามสำคัญว่า "Apple จะทำให้ iPhone 17 Air คุ้มค่าได้หรือไม่ในยุคที่การชาร์จรวดเร็วและพลังงานคือหัวใจหลักของการใช้งานสมาร์ทโฟน?"สรุป:iPhone 17 Air เป็นการเดิมพันครั้งสำคัญของ Apple ที่มุ่งเน้นไปที่การออกแบบที่บางเฉียบเป็นพิเศษ ซึ่งส่งผลให้แบตเตอรี่มีความจุลดลงอย่างมากเมื่อเทียบกับรุ่นก่อนหน้า การตัดสินใจนี้สะท้อนถึงการเปลี่ยนแปลงลำดับความสำคัญจาก "ความอึด" ของแบตเตอรี่ไปสู่ "ความบาง" ของอุปกรณ์ ซึ่งอาจเป็นที่น่าพอใจสำหรับผู้ที่ให้ความสำคัญกับสุนทรียศาสตร์และการพกพา แต่ก็อาจสร้างความท้าทายให้กับผู้ใช้งานที่ต้องการแบตเตอรี่ที่ใช้งานได้ยาวนานตลอดวัน โดยเฉพาะในยุคที่ความเร็วในการชาร์จและพลังงานเป็นสิ่งสำคัญในการใช้งานสมาร์ทโฟน#iPhone17Air #iPhone17 #Apple

De BioLite FirePit+ is een barbecue met powerbank, ventilatorsysteem én app. Met de app en een bluetooth-verbinding stuur je de kracht van de ventilator aan, die niet alleen het vuur in de barbecue aanwakkert, maar ook de rook tot een minimum beperkt. Maar is dat ook het geld waard? En kan je er ook een beetje op grillen? De FirePit+ is multi-functioneel, het werkt niet alleen als barbecue maar kan ook als vuurkorf dienen. Zoals de naam doet vermoeden. Zowel houtskool als brandhout passen in de korf, die met een mesh omhult is. Van buitenaf is het vuur dus goed te zien. Het slimme systeem zit in een oranje kastje dat aan de zijkant vast te klikken is. Dat kastje huist de powerbank van 12.800 mAh en de ventilator, die in vier standen kan blazen. Met een losse USB-A-poort kun je accessoires opladen, of lampjes aankoppelen. De accu gaat op de laagste stand zo'n 30 uur mee. Het eindoordeel hoor je in deze podcast.

"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

Cultisti. Ci sono degli episodi che richiamano schemi ben precisi. Ogni tanto però ci sono anche episodi dove ognuno fa un po' come gli pare. Questo è uno di questi episodi. Si può dire questo di questi? Mah. Pare un po' inception. Lo lasciamo così, via. La provocazione dell'artista, il seme del dubbio, il tarlo che scava e che fa perdere le certezze sintattiche. Chi lo sa. Comunque sia, il testo di questa settimana è difficile, perché gli argomenti sono stati tanti e trattati con libertà. Non c'era il Duca, quindi niente pugni forti sul tavolo, e alla fine anche pochi litigi. Per il resto, il conduttore ha espresso in modo contorto alcuni concetti semplici e Ale ha messo ordine facendo casino, solito TRAM TRAM, insomma. E non è ancora arrivato Bomb Busters. Buon ascolto e come sempre… Ci vediamo dall'altra parte!Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dunwich-buyers-club--2814177/support.

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.

And of course, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu taught us a couple of principles to make the experiment in our lives and the transformation effective. As all of you have, I'm sure, done labs in the past, the conditions have to be right. So one of the conditions is that one has to have a humble heart, a humble heart and mind, in approaching The Holy Name. And that means in body, mind, and words, and not just at the time of chanting. It has to be integrated into one's lifestyle and the way that one approach others, the way that one looks at the world. "I am insignificant. I am an instrument. I give respect to all others." How can that be done? Well, Mahāprabhu says, "See at each person has a spiritual spark and the potential within them, and their connection to the Supreme Personality of Godhead and practice it. That's why he says one should be ready to offer all respects. So get ready for that. That's the lifestyle which prepares us to approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead through His Holy Name and actually vibrate the mantra in such a way that it becomes fully effective in our lives. So Mahāprabhu gave this scenario: "Okay, I've realized that The Holy Name is Kṛṣṇa—nāma nāmākāri bahudhā nija sarva śaktis—all of His personal presence is there. However, I can't do it. I'm so unfortunate, I still can't do it, even though I know it." So he said, "Here is how to rearrange the clinical setting so that you can do it: tṛṇād api sunīcena taror api sahiṣṇunā, amāninā mānadena kīrtanīya sadā hari." Work on your attitude towards the world, towards other people. And if you develop a humble heart—it just sounds good, doesn't it? "Have a humble heart"—if you develop a humble heart, and if you've ever met anybody with a truly humble heart, there's a way in which you just gravitate towards that person. So Kṛṣṇa gravitates towards those who have a humble heart also, and who respect others, and try this: be ready to not accept any respect in return for anything. What if you lived in that space? Well, Caitanya Mahāprabhu said," then you could go kīrtanīya sadā hari—you can go on singing the name, effectively." He'll appear on your tongue, in your heart, in your mind, and everything becomes self-evident from that point. So we have to perform the experiment on ourselves. And every day, the Japa is an opportunity to do that. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

Al jaren dragen Japanners bij warme dagen een speciale jas, namelijk met ventilatoren erin. Een oud-engineer van het Japanse Sony bedacht de fan-jacket begin 2000 en inmiddels is het een heuze trend. Je vindt online honderden merken die een jas met ventilatoren aanbiedt, varierend in prijs tussen de 20 en 200 euro. Maar wordt dit ook een trend in Nederland? Techredacteur Stijn Goossens testte de grijze jas uit tijdens de techupdate in de Ochtendspits op BNR. De jas heeft korte mouwen en is gemaakt van een dunne lichte stof. Achterop zitten vier ventilators die de lucht de jas in blazen. Met een powerbank van 10.000 mAh kun je op de hardste stand tot 6 uur door, op de lichtste stand houdt de batterij het zo'n 24 uur vol volgens de maker. De jas is van het merk Fernida, een Duits merk dat meerdere verschillende koelvesten aanbiedt. Dit model is beschikbaar voor een prijs van 90 euro. De ventilators doen hun werk goed, het voelt echt koeler, maar de jas blaast wel op. Het uiterlijk is niet om over naar huis te schrijven en daarom rijst de vraag of je dit product wel echt wil dragen? Je hoort het eindoordeel in de podcast!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't MissHere's a quick rundown of standout small-cap companies making major moves today — from battery breakthroughs to gold strikes and clean-tech milestones.HPQ Silicon (TSXV: HPQ) HPQ and its French partner Novacium have officially launched industrial production of high-performance lithium-ion battery cells using their proprietary GEN3 silicon-based anode. These next-generation cells boast capacities of 4,000 to 6,000 mAh and can achieve over 1,000 charge cycles, all while being fully compatible with existing lithium-ion manufacturing lines. The first commercial samples are scheduled to ship by Q3 2025. With exclusive rights to the technology in North America, HPQ is poised to generate revenue and localize production, marking a significant leap from lab-scale R&D to industrial commercialization in under 12 months.Zefiro Methane (Cboe: ZEFI) Zefiro's wholly owned subsidiary, Plants & Goodwin, has secured a $19.6 million contract from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to manage the plugging and abandonment of 200 marginal oil and gas wells over a three-year period. This federally funded initiative is aimed at reducing methane emissions and supports Zefiro's carbon credit generation model. The contract strengthens the company's position as North America's leading well-plugging operator and reinforces its dual mission of environmental remediation and profitable carbon offset creation.Maritime Resources (TSXV: MAE) Maritime Resources has reported high-grade gold intercepts at its Hammerdown Gold Project in Newfoundland, including 24.5 grams per tonne over 13.9 meters and 42.2 grams per tonne over 8.0 meters. These results are near surface and fall within a fully permitted open-pit zone, enhancing the potential for near-term gold production. With ownership of key infrastructure like the Pine Cove mill, Maritime is strategically positioned to transition from exploration to production rapidly.Red Pine Exploration (TSXV: RPX) Red Pine Exploration has announced significant drill results at its Wawa Gold Project in Ontario, including 45.38 grams per tonne of gold over 3.13 meters, with a bonanza-grade interval of 141 grams per tonne over 0.88 meters. These near-surface results support the company's strategy for open-pit development and will feed into an updated mineral resource estimate, anticipated later this year. With its 25,000-meter drill program nearly complete, Red Pine is laying the groundwork for a 2026 Preliminary Economic Assessment.Great Pacific Gold (TSXV: GPAC) Great Pacific Gold continues to deliver strong drill results at its Wild Dog Project in Papua New Guinea. The latest assay from hole WDG-04 returned 6 meters grading 8.6 grams per tonne gold equivalent, following an earlier hit of 7 meters at 10.3 grams per tonne in hole WDG-02. These results confirm the presence of a high-grade gold-copper vein system extending over 200 meters of strike length. As the company advances its Phase 1 drilling campaign and prepares for a maiden resource estimate, Great Pacific Gold is positioning itself as a rising exploration story in one of the world's most mineral-rich regions.Follow AGORACOM on our podcast and social channels for more breaking small-cap news, CEO interviews, and investor insights.

Kṛṣṇa does admit in the Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta when He meets Gopā Kumāra, He says, "I made special arrangements for you, although I'm neutral with everybody. I made you take birth in Govardhan, and I came personally. That spiritual master that you met, that was Me. I came personally because I've been waiting too long." So there are ways that Kṛṣṇa tries to bring us back to Godhead, and especially when we take a step towards Him, then He takes license to pull us further. I love this whole section. There's a story I heard from H.H. Girirāja Mahārāja about how in Bombay (Mumbai), when he was the temple president, there was a young man who was helping with the translation for the Marāṭhī Gītā. And he would come to see Prabhupāda regularly to check the translation and ask him philosophical questions. I don't know if Prabhupāda spoke Marāṭhī, but his father would come with him because he his father wanted to get some darśana with Prabhupāda. And the father had a habit of smoking, and he was ashamed of it. So Prabhupāda knew that, and after a few times visiting and knowing that the man was ashamed of it, and Prabhupāda asked, 'Are you still smoking?'" And he said, "Yes," very ashamed. He said, "I need your special mercy to give this up." And Prabhupāda said, "Yes, you can get Kṛṣṇa's special mercy, but it means that you become so miserable that you'll be forced to give it up." Then he said, "Would you like special mercy?" And the man said, "No, no, no, no, I'll do it myself. I'll volunteer." So there's a little push-pull going on. You can do this—they used to say—you can do this the easy way or the hard way. If you want to do the easy way, just make up your mind: sarva-dharmān parityajya, "that's it, I surrender." ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

Patanjali, an ancient Indian sage, is credited with authoring foundational texts in Sanskrit grammar (Mahābhāṣya), yoga philosophy (Yoga Sutras), and possibly medicine (Patanjalatantra). Revered as a mystic and philosopher, his works laid the groundwork for classical yoga and linguistics, profoundly influencing Indian philosophical traditions. Though scholarly debates persist about his identity, Patanjali remains a significant figure in Hinduism, particularly in yoga and linguistic studies.

Il y a des océans dont la pollution est mieux documentée qu'ailleurs. Le Pacifique et son fameux continent de plastique ont bénéficié, ces dernières années, de beaucoup d'études. L'océan Indien, particulièrement le sud-ouest de l'océan Indien, a été jusqu'à présent assez peu observé. Cette année, plusieurs recherches ont été lancées dans la zone grâce au programme ExPLOI. L'une de ces études consiste à produire un inventaire inédit sur la quantité et le type de plastiques que l'on retrouve dans les eaux côtières. De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Mahé, Nous sommes dans le lagon de Baie Lazare, sur l'île de Mahé, à bord du Zodiac, aux côtés des matelots, Chettun Bhonul, doctorant à l'Université de Maurice. Ce matin, comme tant d'autres, il procède à ce que l'on appelle la collecte de microplastiques : « Prêt pour les mettre à l'eau ? ».  Le capitaine du Zodiac répond : « Filet manta à l'eau ! » Ce que le chercheur vient de lancer, ce sont en fait des petits filets harnachés à des flotteurs qui vont capter toutes les particules en suspension, à la surface de l'eau. Durant deux heures, le bateau va tracter ces filets en lignes droites pour collecter un maximum d'échantillons. Une expérience répliquée dans 15 lagons de l'Océan Indien, à Madagascar, à Maurice et bientôt aux Comores. « L'objectif, c'est déjà pour avoir un aperçu sur le nombre de microplastiques qu'on a sur les lagons, mais aussi en dehors du lagon, pour les quantifier. Du coup, quand je prends les microplastiques, je vais les classifier en taille, en type et aussi en couleur pour savoir quel est le plus commun des microplastiques ? Mon étude est inédite parce qu'on a très peu de données sur la pollution plastique dans le sud-ouest de l'Océan Indien, surtout sur les micro plastiques. Dans le Pacifique, dans les autres océans, on a plus de données sur le plastique, sur la situation. Mais ici, dans cette zone comme Maurice, Seychelles et Madagascar, c'est vraiment novateur. » De retour au laboratoire, Chettun Bhonul passe les résidus dans trois tamis différents : un de deux millimètres, un autre d'un millimètre et un troisième de 315 micromètres, pour compter les micro-plastiques et les identifier. Des résultats attendus  Pour le comptage des particules les plus fines, le chercheur a besoin du microscope. « Ça, c'est un microplastique. Ça, c'est une fibre, qu'on ne peut pas voir à l'œil nu, mais au microscope, on peut voir. Et ça, c'est un fragment de couleur bleue. On peut voir qu'il y a beaucoup de micro-plastiques qui ne sont pas visibles à l'œil nu. » Le chercheur se met à compter : « Un, deux, trois, neuf… douze. Vous voyez ça, ce sont des fibres. » « Notre première observation, ça dit que "oui, il y a des microplastiques dans les lagons" et l'objectif de ma thèse est de savoir si le lagon joue un rôle de concentrateur de microplastiques ou au contraire, si les eaux calmes du lagon favorisent la sédimentation, c'est-à-dire la chute des microplastiques vers le fond du lagon. » Autrement dit, une fois dans la mer, jamais, les micro-plastiques ne disparaissent tout à fait. Les premiers résultats de cette grande étude sont attendus pour septembre 2025. À lire aussiOcéans: état des lieux autour du continent africain [1/3]

À ses débuts, Nathacha Appanah croyait que « l'écriture est une île ». Elle prendra vite conscience des « bourrasques extérieures » d'une existence dédiée à « travailler sur la langue, sans étouffer sa géopolitique ». Pour elle, « l'inspiration, c'est comme l'amour, ça se nourrit, ça s'assèche, ça prend des tournures auxquelles on ne s'attendait pas. » Or, après quatre premiers romans publiés entre 2003 à 2007, l'autrice d'« En attendant demain » traverse huit ans de doutes, sans ajouter une ligne à sa bibliographie. Nathacha, hôtesse de son art, s'est formée seule, en interrogeant parfois consœurs et confrères, pour comprendre comment « construire un texte qui serait visible de loin : de la complexité à l'envers, de la simplicité à l'endroit ».Sa simplicité subtile s'exprime pleinement dans « Rien ne t'appartient » (Gallimard, 2021), plongée dans l'enfer moral d'une pension pour « filles gâchées », qu'elle mit seize ans à écrire, après des frissons dans la jungle d'un reportage au Sri Lanka. Focalisées sur la trajectoire d'une jeune femme à qui la société veut interdire de danser, de rire ou d'aimer à gorge déployée, ces 173 pages, écoulées à 30 000 exemplaires, ont de quoi faire pousser des frangipaniers dans l'œil des autorités religieuses de toute obédience. Avec cette certitude : les mots « ont le pouvoir du pied de biche ou du marteau : celui d'ouvrir les narrations closes ». Dans ce troisième et dernier épisode, Nathacha Appanah lève aussi une part du voile sur ce mystérieux conclave de Saint-Germain-des-Prés : le comité de lecture de Gallimard.L'autrice du mois : Nathacha AppanahNée en 1973 à Mahébourg (île Maurice), Nathacha Appanah est une romancière, journaliste et traductrice dont l'œuvre reflète depuis 2003 « la vie des non-puissants, des outsiders, la vie qui passe parfois comme un ruban gris, sans aspérités, sans saveur ». Traduite en dix-sept langues, récompensée par vingt-trois prix littéraires dont treize pour « Tropique de la violence » (Gallimard, 2016), cette grande admiratrice de Virginia Woolf et d'Annie Ernaux a confié, à propos de son art de l'incarnation : « J'aspire à déployer une trame aussi délicate et complexe qu'une toile d'araignée, où je serais un vieux, un ado en taule, une mère célibataire, une meurtrière ou une taiseuse et que ce soit tellement bien écrit que l'on m'oublie, moi. » Elle vit à Paris et publiera fin août « La nuit au cœur », un roman sur trois femmes « qui courent, qui luttent », victimes de la violence de leur compagnon.

« La littérature ressemble à un labyrinthe rempli des bruits que font les histoires qui n'ont pas été racontées », clame Nathacha Appanah dont le premier roman, « Les rochers de Poudre d'Or », sort l'année de ses 30 ans (Gallimard, 2003). Un premier tour de piste qui résonne comme un tour de force, pour évoquer les malheurs méconnus de centaines de milliers d'Indiens et d'Indiennes venu(e)s chercher fortune dans les Antilles ou sur l'île Maurice, et n'y récoltant qu'un travail forcé dans les champs des colons. L'ouvrage reçoit le prix RFO et se vendra, au fil des années, à vingt mille exemplaires.Prolifique et, dit-elle, « sentimentale », celle dont les ouvrages dépassent rarement deux cents pages veut « prendre des risques de livre en livre », dans le fond comme dans la forme. Ce deuxième épisode aborde la tragédie passionnelle de « Blue Bay Palace » (2004), l'amitié initiatique du « Dernier frère » (2007, L'Olivier) ou le brutal récit choral de « Tropique de la violence », sur l'extrême précarité des mineurs isolés de Mayotte, 101e département français où l'autrice vécut deux ans. Vendu à 130 000 exemplaires, adapté au cinéma, au théâtre et en bande dessinée, ce roman reste la référence littéraire pour comprendre ce territoire malmené de notre République. « J'ai toujours peur que les mots m'échappent », dit pourtant celle dont le patronyme contient trois h, comme autant de haches aptes à trancher les clichés.L'autrice du mois : Nathacha AppanahNée en 1973 à Mahébourg (île Maurice), Nathacha Appanah est une romancière, journaliste et traductrice dont l'œuvre reflète depuis 2003 « la vie des non-puissants, des outsiders, la vie qui passe parfois comme un ruban gris, sans aspérités, sans saveur ».

Last year, on this auspicious occasion of Dhūmāvatī Devī Jayanti (which is the 8th day after the New Moon of Vaiśakh) we gave a series on talks on this very mysterious and often feared phase of Mā's personality (Who is Mā Dhūmāvatī? & Worshipping Mā Dhūmāvatī) where we explored Her origin story, Her symbology and Her significance in theory and practice. This year, we decided to go further and ask: "given that Dhūmāvatī Devī is associated to alaxmī, inauspiciousness and given that she favors widows, widowers, the lonely, outcastes, mendicants and those who live in cremation grounds, why would a householder in a happy marriage or a person interested in success and auspicious (which is arguably most of us) ever want to approach her?! Wouldn't doing so only invite calamity?! In response to this important question, we present about 4 reasons why everyone should consider worshipping this often misunderstood and under-represented form of Mā! You'll find a playlist of all our videos on the Mahāvidyās here. Here is the dhyāna-śloka (meditation mantra) we used in the talk: vivarṇā cañcalā ruṣṭā dirghā ca malināmbarā ।vivarṇakuntalā rūkṣā vidhavā viraladvijā ॥kākadhvajarathārūḍhā vilambitapayodharā।śūrpahastātirūkṣākṣī dhṛtahastā varānvitā॥pravṛddhaghoṇā tu bhṛśaṃ kuṭilā kuṭilekṣaṇā ।kṣutpipāsārditā nityaṃ bhayadā kalahapriyā ॥Pale and restless, irritable and oldClad in soiled garmentsPale-haired, dry-skinnedA widow with few teeth|Mounted atop a chariot whose flag is a crowWith drooping breasts and surpassingly cruel eyesWho holds a winnowing basketWho shows the boon bestowing gestureA crone with crooked nose and crooked eyesWho is always hungry and thirsty, quarrelsome and fearsome.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 heard Prabhupāda speaking this morning. Tāmal Kṛṣṇa Mahārāja, as a very young devotee, was telling Prabhupāda, as he was listening to him in awe, he was saying, "Prabhupāda, I always want to remember you speaking. I always want to be able to remember what you're saying and then to be able to recall it and say it myself." And Prabhupāda said, "This takes cultivation." He said, "Everything takes cultivation." So our "right as rain" process, where we sit down and chant every day and just do it—do the activity—because it's following in the footsteps of the ācārya - 'ācāryavān puruṣo veda', means that you know everything, you're properly situated. If you can cultivate that, then you've got a perfect life as a human being. And that's why it feels so good to every day finish your rounds and do the chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa. I know after last week's session, I just felt great because I was thinking, "Wow, there's something in this Hare Kṛṣṇa chanting!" If we can stick together and keep doing this and get more people involved, then it's the only way to make the world a better place—to start from that level and then work outwardly. So it's a worthy cause. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

Kṛṣṇa declares that he is subordinate to the love of his devotee. Bhakti is so powerful that the supreme controller of all controllers finds the greatest pleasure in being controlled by the love of his devotee. But to realize that love requires Kṛṣṇa's grace. Śrīla Prabhupāda gives an example: when we talk of the oneness of a nation, it doesn't mean everybody merges into a nation. There may be millions of individuals, but the oneness of a nation is that we are united on the higher principle of the nation, the interests of the nation. When we speak about one family, it's not that everybody in the family becomes, you know, like the filling in a samosa—we all get smashed together. The oneness of a family is when the interest of the family is the higher principle that we are all united on, and that's actually oneness. Śrīla Prabhupāda describes that this is the idea of Kṛṣṇa consciousness: that we are all conscious of Kṛṣṇa. We all have our diversity, we all have our natures, we all have our experiences, we all have our individual, unique struggles in life. But there's a higher principle that we unite on: saṁsiddhir hari-toṣaṇam—what will please Kṛṣṇa. And in our life, we know what will please Kṛṣṇa is what will please Śrīla Prabhupāda. Variegatedness, or diversity, without appreciating the higher principle that we've been brought together to represent, could create envy and division. But in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, variegatedness actually creates deeper appreciation for each other with our differences, and that is a test of actually if we're Kṛṣṇa conscious. When we see the wonderful associates of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, there's so much variegatedness. In ordinary society of that time, these people would probably have nothing to do with each other. But they were so loving and so gentle; they actually loved each other, not just the austerity of not fighting, because they were seeing each other according to the higher principle. Mahārāja Pratāparudra was a king, an undisputed king called Gajapati of the empire of Orissa. He had palaces, incredible treasuries, armies. And then there was Kolavecā Śrīdhara. He was so simple and poor; he would sell the leaves of bananas just sitting on the side of the road. And he was so simple; he dressed in rags because that's the only clothes he had. He had a simple little straw house that was one room with a dirt floor, and when it would rain, the rain would come in because it was just a little straw roof. He was so thin because he hardly had money. But whatever he earned, before spending anything, he would donate half for the worship of Mother Gaṅgā, because she was the energy of the Lord, purifying and giving mercy and blessings to all beings without discrimination of who was fit or unfit. Whether you're rich or poor, whether you're of one caste or one color or one sex or one community, still, Mother Gaṅgā is flowing and purifying you, even if you're a buffalo, or an elephant, or a snake, or a lizard. Mother Gaṅgā is flowing for everyone. So Kolavecā Śrīdhara was living so simply, but yet, when he would come to Purī, he didn't think of the king as a gross materialist living in his palace, "King, you are in māyā. Look, you have all of this!" He had the highest regard and appreciation for King Pratāparudra, because he was using what he had in God's service. And King Pratāparudra would sometimes think of giving everything away and becoming like Kolavecā Śrīdhara, a beggar, because whatever little he had, he was giving in God's service. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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/ ------------------------------------------------------------

Nāgārjuna (c. 150 – c. 250 CE) was an Indian Buddhist monk and philosopher, regarded as the founder of the Madhyamaka (Middle Way) school of Mahāyāna Buddhism. His most famous work, Mūlamadhyamakakārikā (Root Verses on the Middle Way), presents the concept of śūnyatā (emptiness) and the two truths doctrine, emphasizing dependent origination and rejecting inherent existence. Nāgārjuna's philosophy has profoundly influenced Mahāyāna thought and continues to shape Buddhist studies and practice today.

One of the most sacred dynamics in all of yoga culture - the relationship between teacher and student—has become both feared and misunderstood as it's been transferred from India to the West. In this potent episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how spiritual truth flows not from information alone, but from affection, humility, and mutual sincerity. What unfolds is a spirited, honest, and occasionally hilarious exploration of how and why the guru-disciple model endures—even in an age where trust is hard to come by and everyone's got an “enlightenment moment” in their Instagram bio. Key Highlights: •⁠  ⁠“Victim mentality kills growth.” •⁠  ⁠A lesson from Mahābhārata: If you can't find someone better than you, you're probably not looking hard enough •⁠  ⁠Understanding the friendliness and familiarity with a teacher •⁠  ⁠Transmission of truth is never just intellectual—it's relational This episode is a call to seek wisdom where it's real, not just where it's trending.

When Advaita Ācārya started his prayers to Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, he held open class and prayed that Lord Caitanya would come and help spread the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement all over the world. So, however insignificant it may seem, the way one starts—one person—can change the whole world; one person with a sincere desire. And we feel it in you, Mahārāj, that wherever you go, you set this example of utter humility, at the same time complete seriousness, about this strategy to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world. I remember years ago when we talked about New York, and it seemed to be a complicated situation, but I remember you'd always say, "But Prabhupāda started there. He wanted us to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness in New York." And even in the most difficult situations, you've always adhered yourself to Śrīla Prabhupāda's desire. So all the initiates today are fortunate to be able to see you, to observe how you live and how you interact with others, and to be able to adhere themselves to your instructions. And I'm personally grateful to all the devotees here who are following in Śrīla Prabhupāda's footsteps by accepting His Holiness Radhanath Swami Mahārāja as the representative of the Guru-paramparā, who's showing how to use one's entire life to not only expand Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world, but to attain the ultimate perfection of life, which is to constantly remember Kṛṣṇa, talk about Kṛṣṇa, and chant Harē Kṛṣṇa. (HG Vaisesika Dasa) Thank you so much, Mahārāj, for keeping us in your orbit, for inspiring not only your disciples, but all of us here at ISV and around the world. And I'm very happy for these initiates to be connected to our glorious Paramparā. Under your shelter, we're so fortunate to be connected to the most glorious Paramparā. It's a big step you're all taking, and the whole community is here to support you and help you in any way you can. And I already see so many of you who do so much here, do so much service, do so much preaching. So however we can continue to serve each other, serve your Guru Mahārāj and serve Śrīla Prabhupāda. Personally, I want to offer my help, my support, and I'm just so happy for you all to be under the shelter of Radhanath Mahārāj and Śrīla Prabhupāda. Thank you. Harē Kṛṣṇa! (HG Nirākulā Dāsī) I am so happy to see that you are under the shelter of Vaiśeṣika Mahārāja and Nirākulā Devī because, from the core of my heart, I appreciate how Śrīla Prabhupāda is so pleased with their surrender, their example, and their spiritual leadership for this community, and actually for inspiring the whole world of our movement.And I'm just a little creature that's crawling around trying to serve, but Vaiśeṣika Prabhu and Nirākulā Devī are really great Vaiṣṇavas, and how they are pleasing Śrīla Prabhupāda is so meaningful to me and so many other devotees. There is nothing more pleasing to me than you trying to assist them and please them.In my own heart, I'm just assisting them by trying to inspire all of you in this connection to Śrīla Prabhupāda and our Guru-paramparā (HH Rādhānātha Maharaja) Link to the complete ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3tMBBPxMt4 ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

When the devotees first went to India, Prabhupāda was there, and he invited devotees to come over because he wanted to show what happened. You know, he went alone to America, and he comes back with all these Americans. In India, at the time, people were looking to Americans and go, like, 'How are we going to catch up to these guys? We want what they have.' And then Prabhupāda plays this trick on them, where he comes to America, he gets all these Westerners, and he comes back with a big airplane full of Westerners. 'Here you go. They want what you are supposed to want, which is pure love for God.' In Surat, devotees went there, and they were having kīrtana, and people came out of their houses, and they were grabbing the dust after the devotees walked there, so much so that there were holes in the road! And devotees were surprised and taken aback, and they asked Prabhupāda later, 'Why were they doing that?' And he said, 'Because you follow the four regulative principles and you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, anywhere you go in the world, you'll be honored because of them.' The greatest desire one can have is what Prahlāda Mahārāja showed us: 'Oh my Lord, if I have any desire within my heart, let it be no material desire, only the desire to serve You.' So we have the stark examples: Hiraṇyakaśipu—boo! And then you have Prahlāda Mahārāja, he's worshipable to us. In fact, Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, when He would sit with Gadādhara Paṇḍita to hear Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, He wanted to hear that story over and over again. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta told all his disciples to read Prahlāda 108 times. Hear that story over and over and over and over again, and he's famous, Prahlada Maharaja. He's famous all over the world because of that. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

The Lord's devotees have a special qualification in that, as Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā (6.32): "ātmaupamyena sarvatra samaṁ paśyati yo 'rjuna sukhaṁ vā yadi vā duḥkhaṁ sa yogī paramo mataḥ." They're the parama yogīs because, He says, they have compassion. Atmaupamyena means they feel empathy towards others because they've been through it themselves, and they know what the material world's like. Although Kṛṣṇa oversees the material world and there's a sense of the suffering of the living entities, the ones who feel it most intensely are those who've been in it and then have been saved by the Supreme Personality of Godhead and are given the opportunity, then, as a lifetime occupation, to go out and give mercy to others. And He describes, as everyone knows, several ways in which this potency of Kṛṣṇa appears through the devotees in this world, through the seemingly incidental way in which someone may introduce somebody to Kṛṣṇa consciousness—the vartmana pradakṣaka guru, somebody who shows you the path. Kṛṣṇa works through that person. There's serendipity there. Interestingly, that person who introduces one to the path may not even be fully aware that he or she is doing it. For instance, Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura is mentioned in the first chapter of the Caitanya-caritāmṛta, and his girlfriend is the one he accredits for introducing him to the path of pure bhakti. He was just going to hang out, and she said, "What are you doing with your life? Couldn't you, like, get it together? You'd actually be a great devotee if you just use some of this energy for God." And it woke him up. So he eternally gives her credit as Kṛṣṇa is speaking to him through an agent called the vartmana pradakṣaka guru—guru, one who opens one's eyes from darkness into light. Then he describes how there are many instructors who speak on behalf of Kṛṣṇa, and then there's one who gives the mantra. And all of these, Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī describes as manifestations of Kṛṣṇa. It's the way that He appears in this world. Uddhava mentions at the end of the Uddhava-gītā: "naivopayanty apacitiṁ kavayas taveśa brahmāyuṣāpi kṛtam ṛddha-mudaḥ smarantaḥ yo 'ntar bahis tanu-bhṛtām aśubhaṁ vidhunvann ācārya-caittya-vapuṣā sva-gatiṁ vyanakti (SB 11.29.6)." He says to Lord Kṛṣṇa, 'That I cannot offer enough gratitude. I cannot express enough gratitude to You, because You appear in this world as the ācārya to sva-gatiṁ vyanakti, to show the path to You. And You also appear as the antaryāmī, the Supersoul within the heart.' As we know, and Kavirāja Gosvāmī quotes this in the first chapter of the Ādi-līlā: "teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ yena mām upayānti te" He uses the metaphor that 'I'm there ready to light a lamp and show you the direction if you become interested in Me.' He said, 'So You're there as the antarayāmī to show the path.' And then he said, 'You manifest externally as the different gurus who will show me the path. Externally walk me by the hand along the path of devotional service,' called anugraha. As graha means a grabber, and anu means follow. So somebody who makes you follow, like, 'No, no, come here. Hold on there, little fella, come over here for a second. We have a little something for you,' and that the devotees who are representing the Lord in the material world, although The Lord doesn't get involved; the devotees do that. They're little grabbers. People feel a little bit roughed up for a minute or two, and then they realize later on, "Oh, saved me from falling on the railway track, pulled me up, grabbed me from falling off the roof." As Prahlāda Mahārāja says..

So, this is one of the very important lessons that Prahlād Mahārāj teaches us, is to become trained in the spiritual science. Don't neglect the Bhagavad-gītā. Or should I say it in the positive? It's better, isn't it, because that might go and you may think, 'Neglect the Bhagavad-gītā.' No. Read Bhagavad-gītā every day. How's that for a challenge? If one reads Bhagavad-gītā every day, then you won't have to make excuses for why you make mistakes, or why you made mistakes, or why you feel morose, or why you feel confused, and so forth, because those who read the Bhagavad-gītā every day don't get confused. They see things as they are, and they see the difference between matter and spirit. And that's fairly simple. Let me just check, do we have any Bhagavad-gītās? Just checking to see if we have them on site. Do we have any here? I heard that we've distributed over approximately 500 million books since Prabhupāda started book distribution, and we have a few of them here. Bhagavad-gītā is available. Do any of you have it at home? Just checking. It sounds simplistic, but sometimes the simple things are the true answer. It's called Occam's razor. So if you take this challenge that Prahlād Mahārāj is putting out—educate yourself the way a geologist becomes educated to see the way the world's actually working and to find out where the gold is—then you'll never be bewildered. So if you read at least a chapter of Bhagavad-gītā every day, hear the verses, and go deeply within the purports as much as possible, then you'll see the world and find the great treasures in life and avoid the difficulties. Now, speaking of difficulties, Prahlād Mahārāj also talks about that. He says..

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 8, 2025 is: modicum • MAH-dih-kum • noun Modicum is a formal word that means “a small amount.” It is almost always used with of. // The band enjoyed a modicum of success in the early 2010s before becoming an international sensation. See the entry > Examples: “Imagine, for example, that the gods decided to bestow upon Sisyphus a modicum of mercy. The rock, the hill, the never-ending, pointless labor all remained nonnegotiable as far as the gods were concerned, but the mercy of the gods was to change Sisyphus's attitude to these things. … He is never happier than when rolling large boulders up steep hills, and the gods have offered him the eternal fulfillment of this strange desire.” — Mark Rowlands, The Word of Dog: What Our Canine Companions Can Teach Us About Living a Good Life, 2024 Did you know? It wouldn't be wrong to say that the English language has more than a modicum of words referring to a small amount of something—it has oodles, from smidgen to soupçon. But while modicum can be applied to countable or physical things (like words or salt) it is almost always applied instead to abstract concepts like respect, success, control, hope, dignity, or privacy. Modicum traces back to the Latin noun modus, meaning “measure,” which just so happens to be the ancestor of more than a modicum of English words, from moderate and modify to mold and commode.

Prahlāda Mahārāja is the subject of the Seventh Canto. If you measure which topics are there in the entire lengthy seven cantos of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva makes a very short appearance. He just comes in, tears apart Hiraṇyakaśipu, and that's it. But Prahlāda is featured throughout as a tender child, offering instructions to his classmates and also praying to Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva. These are memorable prayers which have been repeated over millennia, people remembering what is the basic entry-level standard for the process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, or bhakti, or what we call devotional service, and that is, "I don't want anything except to serve. I just want to serve Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's devotees, and whatever I have for myself, it's only so that I can go on serving." And Prahlāda is the emblem of that. Interestingly, in the Bṛhat-Bhāgavatāmṛta, when Nārada Muni is trying to find the devotee who's received the most mercy from Kṛṣṇa and is interviewing different people, observing them, when he comes to Prahlāda Mahārāja, Prahlāda said, "I didn't get much mercy actually." He said, "Because I didn't get any service; He just came to save me, but He didn't give me specific service to do." And that actually is very telling, because when you get service, then you can go on doing that eternally. If you are granted some service, like, SKP, he just walked in with the list. Hare Kṛṣṇa, we're fortunate because we've been given some service to do, and that's the greatest benediction that we can have. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

What do we owe to the dead? What responsibilities do we inherit from the past, and how do they intersect with the crises of the present? In an era of ecological collapse and cultural dislocation, how can we meaningfully honour ancestral memory when the material sites of remembrance - tombs, villages, traditions - are themselves vanishing? In this episode, sociologist and author Alice Mah joins us to discuss her new book, Red Pockets, a deeply personal yet globally resonant exploration of ancestry, ecological anxiety, and cultural memory. Mah is a writer and Professor of Urban and Environmental Studies at the University of Glasgow. Originally from a small town in northern British Columbia, she has a long-standing interest in ecology and place. Drawing on her experiences tracing her family's lineage from the rice-growing villages of South China, through the Chinatowns of Western Canada where she was raised, to the post-industrial landscapes of Scotland and England where she now lives, Mah reflects on what it means to reckon with a legacy of silence, displacement, and environmental degradation. As Qingming Festival tomb-sweeping traditions fade and wildfires rage across ancestral lands, Mah's meditation on the “hungry ghosts” of forgotten obligations is both an intimate memoir and a cultural history of rupture.  Joining Mah to discuss environmental sociology, intergenerational responsibility, and the often overlooked spiritual dimensions of ecological grief, is journalist and book critic Mythili Rao.

Dr. Cheri Mah returns to the podcast today to explore a few different topics including how circadian rhythms shape athletic performance. She notes that these 24-hour cycles regulate sleep, hormones, and core temperature, with peak physical capacity often occurring between 4-8 pm—when many world records are set. Dr. Mah also discusses chronotypes, showing how tailoring training to one's natural rhythm can enhance results. She reveals research on circadian disruption in sports, notably how West Coast NFL teams outperform East Coast teams in night games due to a three-hour body clock advantage. The episode also covers jet lag strategies, sleep loading, and managing fatigue, making it a must-listen not just for athletes and high performers, but truly for us all. Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Matt is only too happy to share the fact that launching his sleep-related merchandise sales was incredibly smooth, thanks to show sponsor Shopify and their integrated sales and inventory system.
