The Bṛhat-bhāgavatāmṛta mentions that devotees don't look for peace. They're not looking for peace of mind; they're looking to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. In the endeavor to satisfy Kṛṣṇa, there are many complex situations, and there are many anxieties. And on record, a devotee asked Prabhupāda, "Devotees sometimes are in great anxiety." For instance he gave the example of distributing books, "they are in so much anxiety about it." And Prabhupāda said, "Tell them that that is spiritual anxiety." Then he gave the example of Yaśodā. And he said, "Yaśodā is always in anxiety. There's never a time when she's Oṁ śānti śānti śānti." She's constantly worried, "Will Kṛṣṇa get into something in Vraj? He's playing with the calves and the cows, and are they getting into trouble somewhere?" For instance, Kṛṣṇa goes and steals from people's houses, and then Yaśodā gets called about it, "Your son's stealing!" And then Kṛṣṇa has this impish look on his face, and so forth. So, constant anxiety for Kṛṣṇa. One takeaway from just the threshold of entering into this cursing pastime is that these kinds of differences of opinion or anxieties or complexities happen in spiritual life because of the uniqueness of the soul and the unfolding Līlā of Kṛṣṇa. And so, we needn't be utopian in interpreting this and saying, "How could this ever happen?" As we will find out tomorrow and onward, from this pastime The Lord appears. And tomorrow, we find that there's more about the nature of the Kumāras and why they became angry and then, subsequently, last point I'll make is that their transformation. This is a pastime of transformation, and it's very important ,because throughout the Srimad Bhagavatam, we find this beacon of pure devotional service, which is directing us towards the highest position of life, which is to attain pure love for Krishna. And in the process, we find different kinds of people from different levels of consciousness.For instance, the Kumaras were at a level of undifferenced monism and they're about to be transformed into Krishna bhaktas. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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
Adam Crowley uses this specific point to argue why MLB is no longer America's pastime.
It's known as America's Pastime. For about eight months each year, from March to November, baseball grips the nation in which fans root for their favorite teams for their chance to play in the World Series, the event that culminates the season. But while the sport is intrinsically linked with America and the Americab identity, it enjoys a fanbase overseas as well, though perhaps none with quite as dedicated and passionate a following as that which hails from the Land of the Rising Sun. Join me this week as we travel to the Far East to explore the history of baseball in Japan!
In the new book “Play Harder: The Triumph of Black Baseball in America,” Washington University professor Gerald Early traces the powerful impact of Black Americans on the game from the post-Civil War era to today. Written in collaboration with the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the book highlights pivotal figures, defining moments, and the lasting influence of Black players.
Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos calls theaters “outdated,” saying audiences prefer movies at home-Netflix is “saving Hollywood” by giving fans what they want. We love going to the theater, but the movies stink and you have to take a mortgage out for a bucket of popcorn. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Replenishing the sock drawer with Priory Socks (project page). My Secret Circles, below. Porthos (project page), below. I moved my decreases to the back of the heel, and the result is similar to Basic Biarritz and the Kite Heel, yet is uniquely mine and oh, is it ever sexy.

We are a week into the 2025 baseball season. We chose this very short-lived series from 1983 about minor league baseball as our tribute to America's Pastime. This series featured an amazing 20 people who appeared on every episode, covering all the bases from the players, the coaches, their partners, and even the mascot. As one might guess with an entry on this podcast, the series got benched after a brief period of time.
This week, Nate and Dusty are both out so Aaron and Brian are joined by friend and fellow comedian Henry Cho. The guys share stories about being on the road with Henry, debate how well they'd do in the Masters, and analyze Aaron's use of the word "dude."

In the 1970s, Steve Prefontaine lit a fire under the bellies of runners that has never gone out through his American distance track records--largely formed by the coaching and spiritual ethos of University of Oregon cross country and track coach and Nike co-founder, Bill Bowerman. The Speech Guys consider Bill's insights through two speeches, as portrayed in the 1998 film, "Without Limits".

With the third leg of fan fest concluded, Buster Posey made an appearance and let everyone i. On his plan as the #SFGiants start to open up camp in a few weeks and yes, you guests it, he's bringing his buddies along. An allstar cast of Posey's teammates will be in attendance as it signals a changing of the guard and getting back to baseball guys making an impact. In addition, the PECOTA projections are out, where do the Giants fall? And Finally, I have an ITCH to MAKE A DEAL, as inspired by recent events in sports and a listener offering me something I can not refuse!
The Giants made a move today in sending their Leftie Taylor Rogers to the Reds. How does this effect the roster construction heading into Spring Training? Are their more moves to come?
The days are counting down until Pitchers and Catchers report to camp on February 12th. Unless there is a big splash in Free Agency, unlikely, or a trade during the Spring, it's possible, this looks to be the #Giants roster heading into 2025. Are they good enough to compete in 2025? Should Giants not use Dodgers as a measuring stick? We will discuss!
The 2025 Inductees were announced and the 3 of the class are Ichiro, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner. The Hall still only has 1 unanimous Inductee as Ichiro, like Jeter was just 1 vote shy if that honor. Is the voting process flawed? And as we get further away from the greatness and into the analytical era of baseball, will the goal posts move? We will also be joined by KNBR's Jack Loder to discuss the Hall of Fame, plus Giants talk as we Inch closer to the start of Spring Training.
The rich get richers as the Dodgers land top international prospects, 23 year old phenom from Japan, Roki Sasaki. But they dint stop there, as they continue to add piece to their already Stacked roster, the latest being Tanner Scott forming the next super team, setting up a strong possibility of a back-to-ack champion for the first time in 25 years. Plus, talk Hall of Fame ballots & BLUE JAYS finally landing a bat in Anthony Santanader.
Willie Adames & Justin Verlander remain the two big signings for the Giants this offseason. Assuming they are finished, how would you grade Buster Posey's first offseason in his new role. PLUS, the latest on Roki Sasaki as the International signing pool is less that 24 hours away from opening.
The #SFGiants may not have gotten Roki Sasaki, but they signed the next best player in Josuar De Jesus Gonzalez, who many scouts have stated that he is the best player in the 2025 class. Is this a signal of change for the Giants, and what is our confidence level in the new regime. We will also discuss with NBC Sports Bay Area host, Carlos Ramirez and break down Buster Posey's first offseason.
AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on high stakes pigeon theft in Belgium.
Welcome back to Passion for the Pastime as we turn to a new week, Hall of Famer Justin Verlander officially introduced as a member of the #SFGiants, whats number will he wear and can he get to 300 wins? PLUS, we now know the finalist in the Roki Sasaki Sweepstakes, what each team can bring the 23 year old superstar and more. We will discuss on this playoff Monday!
Justin Verlander is a member of the Giants, what is next to come? Are their still moves to be had for the Giants or if this is it for the Giants, is it enough to compete in the West?
Reunited and it feels so good! Friend of the program John Lund, host of John Lund Unleashed podcast, stops by the show to talk Giants baseball and discuss the Giants offseason and their moves, or lack thereof, so far. Plus discussion of remaining free agents that need to be had.
Still no moment for the #SFGiants in Free Agency, or for anyone for that matter. Is it a game of chicken between players & ball clubs? More f the latest Rumors and news around MLB and if any there are any signs of life for the #SFGiants to make a much needed move.
With the the recent acquisition of Hye-Seong Kim to the Dodgers, they continue to add depth pieces to build a roster to defend their World Series title. Are they in a tier of their own and who is the biggest threat to the Dodgers hopes in a repeat?
The calendar turns to 2025 but with not much remaining in the Free Agent Market for the #SFGiants, were do they turn. Outside of the Will Adames signing, not much else has happend to improve the roster. Has the front office dropped the ball? Or is all saved if Pete Alonso or Roki Sasaki join the Orange & Black in 2025? Lets discuss PLUS the latest on Alonso & Sasaki markets
As 2024 comes to an end, we will take a look at some of the top moments of 2024, some we LOVE, other we HATED to see. Plus it's a good time for New Years resolutions and what that could look like for the #SFGiants. Lets end this year with a BANG! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/passionforthepastime/support
As we approach the end of 2024, the Giants started the offseason with a Bang! Firing Farhan, Hiring Buster Posey & Co, signing Willy Adames BEFORE the start of the winter meetings but it all came to a halt after Corbin Burnes eventually signed with a division rival. We will be joined by Locked On Network Host, Erik Engle to discuss the Giants offseason. Was Burnes negotiations a miss-step in philosophy? Do the #SFGiants really have that much faith in thier young pitching? Is this pointing to another developmental year at 3rd & King? Or can they reel in another big fish bat as attention seems to have shifted to 1B Pete Alonso? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/passionforthepastime/support

"As I hit the ball, every muscle in my system, every sense I had, told me that I had never hit a better one . . . I didn't have to look. But I did. That ball . . . hit . . . exactly the spot I had pointed to." This is the story of the most American sport: baseball. Americans have been playing ball for a good long while now—even General Washington enjoyed an occasional game of catch—but baseball as we know it only emerged around the 1850s. That's also about the time when people started forming leagues: the National League, the American League, the Federal League, yada yada, you get the picture. There are quite a few, and they're mostly the same, except for the Negro League, headed by Andrew “Rube” Foster (pitcher and president extraordinaire). Professional baseball remains segregated until Jackie Robinson breaks the color line in the late 1940s. But let's not get ahead of ourselves! Baseball evolves from its colonial beginnings to become an entertainment staple by the early twentieth century. In the 1920s, the good name of the game has just been sullied by the 1919 World Series scandal, but baseball's popularity hasn't taken a serious hit. This era boasts a panoply of players, and people can't seem to stay away from the stands. You see, George Herman "Babe" Ruth has just been traded to the New York Yankees, and he's always playing to win. ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.
