Podcasts about paramatma

This morning, I was listening to Prabhupada, and he was talking about how there are different kinds of liberated souls: "muktānām api siddhānāṁ nārāyaṇa-parāyaṇaḥ su-durlabhaḥ praśāntātmā koṭiṣv api mahā-mune (SB 6.14.5).' There are millions and millions of sages and different kinds of people who have achieved liberation through knowledge. They've seen the impersonal Brahman and Paramatma. But it's the most rare that someone can understand Bhagavan -Kṛṣṇa. And it's only by association with pure devotees, He said, that only by understanding Bhagavan is there Ananda. When you have that relationship, you know you have a relationship. And then Prabhupada named the different relationships you could have: as a parent, as a lover, as a friend, as a servitor. Then he started saying, you could be the water in Vrindavan. And he was talking about how, once you have that relationship, then that ānanda is unlimited. It's not like, he said, in the material world, we think ānanda comes from some temporary pleasure, but that, he said, only lasts for a few minutes. So intelligent people, 'ye hi saṁsparśajā bhogā' they don't appreciate it at all. The sages, he said: 'ramante yogino 'nante satyānande cid-ātmani iti rāma-padenāsau paraṁ brahmābhidhīyate (CC Madhya 9.29).' That those who understand that real pleasure comes from Rama, association with Kṛṣṇa, that's the real happiness, and they don't need anything else. Once they taste that ānanda of Kṛṣṇa, then every other kind of pleasure is insignificant for them. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

In this continuation of the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita series, we address the question “Is it all one?” examining whether various spiritual paths all lead to the same destination, and whether the goal of a spiritual undertaking is a singular experience or realization.We need to distinguish between practices that are truly spiritual versus those focused on seeking material benefits and appreciate that real spirituality involves self-realization and God-realization.Regarding whether God is ultimately an impersonal ocean of light or spiritual energy, with which I can merge and ‘become one,' the Vedic understanding is that the Absolute Truth manifests in three aspects: Brahman (impersonal spiritual energy), Paramatma (localized presence of God in all beings), and Bhagavan (a Supreme Personality). In relation to the ideal of ‘oneness,' the philosophical framework for understanding oneness is explained by the aphorism acintya-bhedābheda-tattva - the inconceivable simultaneous oneness and yet difference. While there is a spiritual oneness, individual distinction also exists eternally, and we need to be cautioned against the misinterpretation that one is God, which then leads to unfortunate consequences.Some texts I quoted in this talk:Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods; those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings; those who worship ancestors go to the ancestors; and those who worship Me will live with Me. - Bhagavad-gītā 9.25The supreme occupation [dharma] for all humanity is that by which men can attain to loving devotional service unto the transcendent Lord. Such devotional service must be unmotivated and uninterrupted to completely satisfy the self. - Bhāgavata Purāṇa 1.2.6 Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear. - Bhagavad-gītā 18.66 Learned transcendentalists who know the Absolute Truth call this nondual substance Brahman, Paramātmā or Bhagavān. - Bhāgavata Purāṇa 1.2.11And I am the basis of the impersonal Brahman, which is the constitutional position of ultimate happiness, and which is immortal, imperishable and eternal. - Bhagavad-gītā 14.27O my Lord, sustainer of all that lives, Your real face is covered by Your dazzling effulgence. Kindly remove that covering and exhibit Yourself to Your pure devotee. - Śrī Īśopaniṣad mantra 15He is the eternal among all eternal entities, and the chief conscious being among all conscious beings. Among the many living entities, He is the chief, who fulfills their desires. - Śvetāsvatara Upaniṣad 6.13 and Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13Īśvara is a special Puruṣa, unlike other puruṣas, being untouched by afflictions, actions (material activity) and the fruit of actions, and latent impressions or material desires. In Him the seed of omniscience is unsurpassed (infinite). He is also the Teacher of all ancient teachers (sages), being not limited by time. The transcendental sound personifying Him is AUṀ. - Yoga Sūtra 1.24-27Arjuna inquired: Which is considered to be more perfect: those who are properly engaged in Your loving devotional service, or those who worship the impersonal Brahman, the unmanifested? - Bhagavad-gītā 12.1The Blessed Lord said: He whose mind is fixed on My personal form, always engaged in worshiping Me with great and transcendental faith, is considered by Me to be most perfect. - Bhagavad-gītā 12.2For those whose minds are attached to the unmanifested, impersonal feature of the Supreme, advancement is very troublesome. To make progress in that discipline is always difficult for those who are embodied. - Bhagavad-gītā 12.5One can understand the Supreme Personality as He is only by devotional service. And when one is in full consciousness of the Supreme Lord by such devotion, he can enter into the realm of God. - Bhagavad-gītā 18.55

Creation and destruction, cosmic order and divine justice—these may seem like the primary reasons God engages with the world, but the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam reveals something much deeper. Krishna's true purpose in manifesting within the material realm isn't merely to uphold dharma or to punish the wicked—it's to reciprocate the love of His devotees. And within that love, a happiness is found that far surpasses the impersonal peace of liberation. In this episode, Kaustubha, along with guest hosts Jiva and Chapu, explores these profound truths as Wisdom of the Sages enters the Ninth Canto. Through the story of King Ambarish and the powerful mystic Durvasa Muni, we witness how devotion (bhakti) eclipses all other forms of spiritual attainment. The episode also unpacks a crucial philosophical hierarchy: how Brahman realization—the understanding that one is beyond the material world—is contained within Paramatma realization, which not only perceives the Divine within the heart but also recognizes the Supreme Intelligence orchestrating the workings of the entire material realm. Yet both are ultimately encompassed within Bhagavan realization, where God is understood not merely as an impersonal force or an all-pervading presence, but as the Supreme Person—Krishna—who loves, reciprocates, and reveals Himself fully to His devotees. Key Highlights: ✨ Why Krishna's primary concern isn't universal order—it's love. ✨ The joy of bhakti vs. the impersonal peace of liberation. ✨ How Brahman and Paramatma realizations are included within Bhagavan realization. ✨ Paramatma realization as the recognition of divine intelligence behind the cosmos. ✨ King Ambarish vs. Durvasa Muni: The power of devotion over mystic perfection. ✨ The Ninth Canto as the gateway to Krishna's most intimate pastimes. Join us as we explore the heart of divine love, the supreme happiness of bhakti, and the full spectrum of spiritual realization.

పాదుకా స్పర్శనం - పరమాత్మ దర్శనం | Padukaa Sparsanam - Paramatma Darsanam || Telugu Story

Krishna mentioned 'Om Tat Sat' as a threefold representation of the Supreme Absolute Truth -Brahma. He explains 'sat' and says, "The word 'sat' means eternal reality and goodness. O Arjun, it is also used to describe an auspicious action. Being established in the performance of yagna (sacrifice), tapah (penance), and daan (charity) is also described as sat. And so, any act for such purposes is named sat (17.26-27). Whatever is done or practiced like yagna, daan or tapah, when done without shraddha is termed as 'asat'. It is not for here or hereafter" (17.28). Krishna described sat and asat at the beginning of the Bhagavad Gita. He said sat (reality) never ceases to be while asat (unreal) has no existence and only a gyani can distinguish between them (2.16). Firstly, asat is that ‘which didn't exist in the past and wouldn't be there in the future'. If we take the example of sensual pleasures, feelings or physical entities, they weren't there before and wouldn't be there after some time. Secondly, the rope-snake analogy is used to explain that asat derives its existence from sat, just as the snake doesn't exist without the rope. Krishna gives another path here when he says that whatever is done or practiced like yagna, daan or tapah, when done without shraddha is termed as 'asat'. Shraddha is the essential ingredient to perform 'sat' karmas. This path opens up another interpretation. Shraddha is unflinching devotion where any outcome of an action is taken as the blessings of Paramatma. In other words, it is performing karma without expecting karmaphal (fruits of action) (2.47). This is also achieved by dropping the sense of doer-ship (kartapan) for any karma we perform. Any karma becomes auspicious when both a sense of doer-ship and the desire for karmaphal is dropped and hence, Krishna calls it performing auspicious karmas.

The seventeenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita is titled Shraddha Traya Vibhaga Yoga where Krishna explains about the three sides of each aspect of life and existence. Krishna says, "'Om Tat Sat' is considered the threefold representation of the Supreme Absolute Truth -Brahma.  From them came the knowers of truth (Brahmins), scriptures (Vedas), and sacrificial rites (yagna)" (17.23). 'Om Tat Sat' is the most commonly used phrase in the context of Vedanta. Om is a fundamental sound or vibration but not a word and hence, no meaning is assigned. It is believed that the world was created out of these vibrations and science confirms that every matter is in the state of vibration which is called frequency. This vibration of Om consists of three syllables of A-U-M. 'Tat' is translated as 'that'. It looks natural to call Paramatma as you -either in singular or plural form. Accepting paramatma as 'you' implies that 'I' in us will remain and hence, Krishna mentions 'tat'. 'Tat' is what remains when both you and I unite like the melting of a salt doll to be the ocean. Essentially, it is being one with existence. 'Tatva masi' -you are that, is often used to describe the relationship between man and Paramatma. Krishna further says, "Therefore, acts of daan (charity), tapah (austerity) and yagna (sacrifice), as prescribed in scriptures, are begun always uttering Om (17.24). The seekers of liberation without desiring results perform various daan, tapah and yagna while concentrating on 'tat' "(17.25). While seeking or desiring is bondage, this verse talks about the desire for liberation (moksha) which looks paradoxical. The first stage is the desire for material things, the next one is the desire for moksha and the final stage is dropping the desire to attain moksha. Basically, it is moving from Kindergarten to post graduation and Krishna guides us through this gradual transition.

What is the difference between a jeevAtma and paramAtmA? What does jeevAtmA move from one body to another mean? After death, what does jeevAtmA take along with it and how does it do it? Where is nourishment for our body coming from? Who is giving that nourishment? These are some of the questions for which BhagavAn is giving answers in this episode.

Nothing you're doing has been wasted. Every time you show love, you are sowing these seeds.

The tiny bit of Krishna that resides inside all of us is called Paramatma, or the Supersoul. The fun part is that a modern yogi realizes that the Supersoul and Krishna are both the same. Krishna explains this and Arjuna finally speaks — all in this riveting episode!

here is one formless aspect of God who is all-pervading. This aspect of God is known as 'Brahm' in the Vedic Scriptures. In this audio, Swami Mukundananda is now explaining the second aspect of God who resides in the heart of all living beings. He is known as 'Paramatma' or Supreme Soul in the Vedic Scriptures. What is 'Paramatma' like? What is His purpose? Swamiji also provides answers to the following questions: 1. Is Paramatma (Supreme Soul) formless or has personal form? 2. What are the Characteristics of the Supreme Soul? 3. How is Paramatma different from Shri Krishna? 4. What is the relation between Vishnu and Shri Krishna? 5. Why is Shri Krishna known as Avatari?

The biggest cause of suffering is our forgetfulness of and our distancing from the Paramatma, the Super Soul living in our hearts. Instead of being bahu-sakhah, having many-branched intelligence, we can focus one pointedly on the “capital S'' Self by developing unflinching trust in our Supreme Well Wisher. By watering the roots of the tree of Krsna Consciousness, we start charity at home and can render the highest service to everyone.
