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

Śukadeva Gosvāmī says in the 14th Chapter of the 10th Canto that when people have a home, if it doesn't have Kṛṣṇa Consciousness inside, then it becomes like a prison. They're locked in, can't get out. Every realm is defined by the sound vibration. So you can have a fancy house, but once you are locked in there, you're stuck with the sound vibration that's inside. If the sound vibration is mundane, then it doesn't matter how fancy the house is, you'll be in hellish consciousness. And by the same principle, if you're even in the simplest environment, if the vibration is pure, then you're not in the material world. You're in the transcendental realm, as the realm is defined by the transcendental sound vibration. I once lived in Bhuvaneśvara in a little hut, went to my god-brother, and HH Gaura Govinda Mahārāja was staying there too. We had no facility, except for we would cook on a little fire, and Mahārāja would give class in the morning sitting on just a little wooden platform. There was nothing around at that time. But we were just completely happy, just a little khichḍī. We would sleep on the dirt floor in that hut and then listen to Bhāgavatam and chant, and then go to Jagannāth Purī. And it's a blissful life. So this grandiose society, everyone's trying to find happiness by developing materially, but they don't know the principle, which is sound vibration. So it's our job to introduce the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness so people can transform their lives by upgrading their soundtrack and making sure that they include The Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahāmantra. They could even put Gaura Nitāi in their house. What a difference that would make! You could spend $5 million on a house on the street that's on the low side. We looked it up. One house is for sale down here. It's 4.2; it's the crappiest house on the block. But if there's no Gaura Nitāi inside any of these places, then what is the use? Soft pillows and a bed? It's just the exact same thing. That's what Śukadeva Gosvāmī says in the beginning of the Second Canto of Bhāgavatam you know, just live simply and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and be happy. Or if you live in a nice place so more people can come, it doesn't disturb us either because the main thing is the vibration—keeping the transcendental little vibration going. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

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

FROM LAB SUCCESS TO MARKET-READY PRODUCTHPQ Silicon $HPQ / $HPQFF has moved from prototype to production in record time, delivering its first commercial-scale silicon-anode battery cells — a milestone that positions the company at the forefront of a ~$16B market for mobility, electronics, and energy storage.The company began manufacturing HPQ ENDURA+ 18650 and 21700 cells, delivering 4,000 mAh and 6,000 mAh capacity with lifespans approaching 1,000 cycles — performance that CEO Bernard Tourillon says is “unheard of” in commercially sized batteries. Independent third-party validation confirmed the results first achieved at the lab scale are now replicable in industrial production.GLOBAL INTEREST AND STRATEGIC POSITIONINGInquiries from Asia, Europe, and North America including power tool, e-bike, drone, and military suppliersPartnership discussions underway with industry leaders, including graphite producers seeking to enhance their products with HPQ's silicon-anode materialAbility to integrate into existing battery manufacturing lines without costly retooling“We continue to receive inquiries from global potential customers and are engaging in technical discussions with leading industry players… With production now underway, we anticipate an acceleration of partnership opportunities as soon as we start delivering.” — Bernard Tourillon, CEO, HPQ SiliconSCALABLE GROWTH POTENTIALThe company estimates that a 50-ton annual production facility for its proprietary silicon-anode material — an investment of $5–$7 million — could supply up to 25–30 million batteries. With North American exclusivity via its partnership with Novacium, HPQ is positioned to scale quickly as orders come in.HPQ has compressed the typical multi-year commercialization cycle into under 18 months, leapfrogging the pilot phase and moving directly to commercial manufacturing. By demonstrating its technology in market-ready cells, HPQ aims to convert competitors into customers, accelerate adoption, and secure a foothold in high-value battery segments.Bottom line: HPQ Silicon is no longer just developing — it's delivering. With global attention, validated performance, and a clear path to scale, the company is poised to become a key supplier in the next generation of high-performance batteries.WHY INVESTORS ARE WATCHING

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

« 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 ». 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.

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 ».

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?!

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/ ------------------------------------------------------------

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."

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

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.

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.
