In the heart of Vraja, where every stone is sacred and every step a meditation, Govardhan Parikrama is more than just a ritual—it's a transformational experience. In this Wisdom of the Sages Q & A episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the profound meaning of circumambulating sacred places and why yogis across generations have honored Govardhan Hill as Krishna Himself. Why do Bhakti yogis walk barefoot around Govardhan? What happens when we physically express our devotion? And how does this practice align with the deepest truths of the yoga tradition? Raghunath & Kaustubha take on these and other interesting questions.

In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha challenge conventional ideas about success, wealth, and legacy, revealing why material privilege often creates division, stress, and emptiness. Instead, they uncover the ultimate privilege—to be able to serve with a pure heart.  Broadcasting from India, they reflect on their travels through sacred places like Mayapur and the awe-inspiring Temple of the Vedic Planetarium. They also share firsthand stories from spiritual seekers who left behind conventional paths in search of something deeper—and found it.

And today, I just want to mention a principle that's very helpful in staying in the moment and continuing chanting despite the phenomena that the mind will drag us in various ways, as Kṛṣṇa mentions in the Bhagavad Gitā. So, that's a principle called applied procrastination. Procrastination—everybody knows how to procrastinate because all you do is just put things off until the next time. And the same principle can be applied in staying fixed in Japa. When the mind comes with some other idea besides chanting, like, could you name three things the mind might suggest to say, "Rather than doing this, let's go do that"? Sleep. Sleep. Now, it's a "sleep now" movement, so there could be sleep. That's definitely one of the ones that's like, "I'm tired. I want to go sleep." That can also be overcome by going to bed earlier. It is important to manage sleep in order to have good Japa. What's another one? You want to go talk prajalpa instead. Somebody's out on the balcony talking about some juicy gossip, and you don't want to miss it. What's the third one? Planning. Yeah, there might be some plans you have to make, something like that, and it could be a correspondence that you forgot. And then it comes into your mind that, "Oh, if I don't do it now, this person's going to hate me, and I can't tolerate it," so I give up chanting, and I go away. So, that's four, but there could be 1,000 that we could name possibly. So, the principle of applied procrastination was showed to us by Haridāsa Thākura, or the Nāmācharya. When a prostitute came, he didn't say never. He just said later. And the word "later" is really helpful because there's always some later. And instead of saying no, and whatever you resist persists, you just say, "Sure, no problem, but not right now. I'll just wait till later on," and just put it off so that can be really helpful. That works for many different kinds of discipline. Like if you don't want to eat too much, and the mind says to eat, you just say, "Well, you know, there's going to be another meal later. I'll make up for it next time, and I'll eat less. I'll eat half as much this time, and next time I'll eat twice as much." But later never comes. You just keep putting it off. It's the same with taxes. You're supposed to defer taxes till later, when you're in a lower tax bracket. And also, there's a saying that "justice delayed is justice denied." So, it's a tactic in the legal circles. It's like, "Okay, not right now, we'll just deal with it later," and you keep putting obstacles so it's further away. And then there's another principle that helps, which is something they teach in accounting, which is especially for accounts receivable. It's called the law of diminishing intent because the longer you wait to collect on a bill, the less people are willing to pay it because the time factor makes their will less strong. So, just delay and staying in the process of chanting.

So coming to the Yogapīṭha and recognizing, through understanding the philosophy of Bhagavad Gītā and Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, that a perfect relationship is available with the perfect person. It makes the heart jump to think that this could be possible. In fact, we've been disappointed so many times. Krishna says, "Vita Raghava, you have to give up this disappointment and recognize that you do have the possibility of having a relationship with me." So here at Yogapīṭha, you can make a sankalpa, "Krishna, I'm going to bring my attention to you," and that can be done. "Yāḥ śrutvā tat-paro bhavet (SB 10.33.36)," by hearing about Krishna, if you hear Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, you become inoculated from all of the foolish ways of interacting with the world, like Purūravā and Urvaśī. If you read those two chapters, then you see what you look like when you become enamored by a temporary relationship in this world where you're writing poetry that goes like this: "I love you. I love you so." And Purūravā looks foolish to us, and so as I've said over consistently during the Yatra, don't fool around. What's the name of the artist? As Elvin Bishop wrote in his song, "I Fooled Around and Fell in Love." Don't fool around. This coming to Yogapīṭha means no more fooling around. I'm going to fall in love with Lord Caitanya. I'm not going to fool around and fall in love here in this material world yet again and take rebirth, because I'm enamored of a temporary form. Get enamored of the eternal form. Carry a picture of Krishna around with you. Go to the temple, see Krishna. Take brahminical initiation. Worship Krishna on the altar. Dress him, bathe him, chant His name, take caraṇāmṛta, and think of His lotus feet. Go out and teach Krishna consciousness to others and see that everyone's just fooling around.

There's this tendency to diminish anything anyone else is doing comes from the envy within the heart. But Rūpa Gosvāmī says, a miracle happens by the association of pure devotees, and that is gradually one's heart changes, and there's no more envy within the heart. And therefore 'nindādi-śūnya-hṛdam īpsita-saṅga-labdhyā,' the person then becomes free from nindā. Do you know somebody who is a professional at criticizing what they're called? A nindaka, or, you know, nindanīyā, like a kīrtanīyā. The kīrtanīyā is they're always singing Haribol! But a nindanīyā is somebody who's always singing other people's faults, and they criticize everyone, but that idea or impulse doesn't enter within the heart of a sādhu. So tolerance, steadiness, and mukhyā prasādāt and they're long, long lists of qualities of the sādhu. In this verse 'satāṁprasaṅgān mama vīrya-saṁvido bhavanti hṛt-karṇa-rasāyanāḥ kathāḥ (SB 3.25.25),' there's the most important quality mentioned of all, and that is that the sādhus are always speaking about Kṛṣṇa's glories. Vīrya means that the Lord's activities are glorious. And such a person is not interested in the mundane news of the world. Prabhupāda mentions that the devotees are not so interested in following the news because he says "Things will go the way they're going to go, and what can you do?" But we're on a different track, and those who follow Sādhus are on a different track. They're interested in discussing in more and more detail the activities of the Lord and His pastimes.

pWotD Episode 2766: International Society for Krishna Consciousness Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 459,935 views on Wednesday, 27 November 2024 our article of the day is International Society for Krishna Consciousness.International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), commonly referred to as the Hare Krishna movement, is a Gaudiya Vaishnava Hindu religious organization. It was founded by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. on July 13, 1966, in New York City. ISKCON's main headquarters is in Mayapur, West Bengal, India and it claims approximately 1 million members globally.ISKCON members practice a distinct form of monotheistic Hinduism, grounded in Hindu scriptures and especially guided by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's commentary and translation of the Bhagavad Gita and Bhagavata Purana. Described as “the largest and arguably most important branch” of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition, ISKCON traces its roots in India to the early 16th century and expanded to gain followers in America, Europe, and Africa from the mid-to-late 20th century. The Hare Krishna movement advocates for lacto-vegetarianism and was initially founded to promote bhakti yoga. Followers, known as bhaktas, dedicate their thoughts and actions to devotion toward Krishna, whom they honor as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The movement has experienced its fastest growth in India and, following the Soviet Union's collapse, in Russia and other formerly Soviet-aligned countries in Eastern Europe.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:04 UTC on Thursday, 28 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see International Society for Krishna Consciousness on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kendra.

We can't see ourselves. We can't see Kṛṣṇa either. But, if we—just like with sonar or with sonogram, that word 'son/sony'- through the sound vibration, it resonates with our higher self, with our actual self, with our spiritual self. And not only can we see ourselves, but we can also see Kṛṣṇa through the process of transcendental sound vibration. This is 'anāvṛtti śabdād'; everything becomes revealed through the sound vibration.

..just after Kṛṣṇa left the world for His own abode, then to fill the darkness again, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam then appeared, and it's non-different from Kṛṣṇa. So, when the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam appeared in the world, then we have the life of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu who personifies the Bhāgavatam. We know that Śrīla Prabhupāda, when he was in Vṛndāvana and he was considering how to carry out his mission to spread Krishna Consciousness all over the world, embarked on the translation and commentation on the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam before he would leave Vṛndāvana. There's a picture of Śrīla Prabhupāda holding one of his volumes of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. He's holding it up like this. I have it somewhere in one of our slide decks, but it reminds me of him leading the charge into the battlefield, and that's exactly what he did. He spent the time in Vṛndāvana typing, typing, typing. In Chippiwada, the very pious brahmana who gave Prabhupāda a flat where he could do his work, Prabhupāda had a typewriter, probably typed with two fingers like this, and he said, did the owner of the flat that Prabhupāda was in there and what was he doing? typing, typing, typing, he said all day typing. Another account of Śrīla Prabhupāda in Vṛndāvana was that he was also typing, typing, typing. And there was one person that used to sometimes bring Prabhupāda prasādam to his room. But Prabhupāda was so absorbed in writing the Bhāgavatam in his commentary for the first canto that sometimes you just had to leave the prasādam outside the door. Because Prabhupāda didn't even answer the door because he was in samadhi - typing, typing, typing, the commentaries to the Bhāgavatam. When he had it in hand, then he brought it out. But what did he write in the beginning of the Bhāgavatam? He wrote the biography of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu because the life of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu follows the Bhāgavatam. He exemplifies the Bhāgavatam. Prabhupāda then came to America, and he brought with him only Bhāgavatam. You can hear on the Jaladuta, because he wrote down the words and we have them now, what his thoughts were, and that was that "let people hear this transcendental message of the Bhāgavatam, only by that will'...

Speaker: Indradyumna Swami Where: Sri Mayapur Dham,  December 6 2023 The post Mayapur, Coming Home appeared first on Lectures by Indradyumna Swami.

Brhat Mrdanga das shares about his journey through life with ADHD, Tourettes syndrome, depression, addiction, and any other challenges he experienced while growing up in South Africa. He was put on medications from the age of 8 and did lots of drugs later on, all while living a life seeking meaning. He now lives in Mayapur, India, with his wife and children. In this episode we talk, laugh and reflect on what we learn on our journey through this videogame-like world.  LISTEN UP, YA HEARD IT HERE!

Madhuri and Praneswara Das are Krishna devotees from Mayapur, Kolkata. Madhuri was always scared of needles. When she learnt she is pregnant which she was expecting , she was terrified on how to go about it. Initially, they did go to the doctor for checkups but there was a point when after an ultrasound they decided to do, the doctor said the liver of the baby is not functioning. This was a huge blow but they were not held or emotionally supported at the hospital.Their faith and birth education, support from midwives and birth community kept them going. All along their faith in God led them , their baby was absolutely fine at birth with no issues. This podcast was recorded when the baby was over 6 months old.It is interesting that after 3 days of labor, the placenta was not born for 9 hours, how did they cope up with this situation and what do they say about their inclination towards home birth if they have another baby.Tune in now !Prepare for Birth, explore Prenatal and Postnatal Preparation Classes, visit www.birthagni.comSupport the show: If you like what you hear, leave us a rating on Spotify app and answer the question at each episode! a review on Apple podcasts.

Mayapur is buzzing with devotional energy / Radha embodies the ecstatic energy of love / through cultivating a relationship with the Deities you can incur magic / Krishna Lila - Its not a Warner brothers cartoon! / immerse yourself in Vrindavan with proper focus & perspective and never have downtime / Krishna Lila draws you in, purifies and refines you / Bhakti is trickling down from great souls - immerse yourself in the flow / May auspiciousness reign!
