Exploring the Connection Between Matthew 17 and the Book of Esther For BibleInTen.com – By DH – 14th March 2026 Welcome back to Bible in Ten. Today we come to Matthew 17, and in this series that leads us naturally to Book 17 of the Old Testament: Esther. And with an explanation of the overall pictorial contents of Matthew 17 provided in the previous episode, Matthew chapter 17 becomes much clearer and in this supplementary episode, we will see how Esther strengthens it as a supporting witness. Esther is not just a story about Jewish survival in Persia.  Esther is a book about the Lord hidden from open view, but still directing all things toward redemption. The book exists not mainly to magnify the Jews, but to show the unseen faithfulness of God in preserving them for the sake of His promises and ultimately for the sake of the Redeemer, the true subject of Scripture. The Esther Bible Study available on the Superior Word develops the following pictures: Ahasuerus pictures God, the ruler over the world. Vashti pictures disobedience and loss of access to the throne. Esther pictures the Gospel, especially in her mediating role before the king. Haman pictures Law, even law bringing wrath and death. Mordecai pictures Christ: hidden at first, then honored, then exalted, then clothed with authority, then writing with full power, then sending letters of peace and truth, and finally having his greatness recorded through all the realm. That makes Esther a strong support for what Matthew 17 is picturing. 1) “After six days” — the approach to kingdom rest Matthew 17 begins, “after six days.”  As was said this points toward the six-thousand-year course of man's time before the seventh-day rest, the millennial kingdom. Esther supports this by opening in a royal setting already marked by splendor, order, and throne-rule. Shushan is treated almost like a paradise-throne setting, and Ahasuerus is taken as picturing the divine throne-rule itself. So both chapters begin not with chaos, but with the king and the court already in view. 2) Christ revealed in glory before a select company On the mountain, Jesus is transfigured before Peter, James, and John. That is the hidden unveiling of the King before His glory is openly seen by all. Esther supports this pattern through hiddenness before manifestation. The whole book works by concealed identity, concealed movements, and God working in the background long before the reversal appears.  The Lord is not named openly in Esther, yet He is there, hidden, moving everything toward the appointed outcome. So Matthew 17's select-company glory scene sits very comfortably beside Esther's hidden-providence structure. 3) Moses and Elijah testify that all prior revelation converges on Christ Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus, but not as equals. They are witnesses. That fits Esther's Christ structure too. The whole book drives toward one central exalted figure: not Vashti, not Haman, not even Esther by herself, but finally Mordecai in exaltation. And Mordecai is clearly picturing Christ Jesus, the one advanced to authority by the king. So just as Matthew 17 narrows the law and prophets toward Christ, Esther narrows all of its movements toward the greatness of Mordecai, a picture of the greatness of Christ. 4) “Hear Him” and “Jesus only” This is the heart of Matthew 17. The Father says, “Hear Him,” and the disciples then see “Jesus only.” That fits Esther, because Esther repeatedly moves the reader away from outward structures and toward the one through whom life and deliverance actually come. Esther is a picture of the beautiful Gospel message, but Mordecai is the Christ figure who ends up invested with the king's authority and acting with the signet.  The signet granted to Mordecai pictures the authority of Christ. So if Matthew 17 says, in effect, “Hear Him”, Esther says in its own symbolic way: the decisive authority now rests with the Christ-figure who bears the king's signet. 5) Hidden glory must wait for resurrection-grounded disclosure Jesus tells them not to publicise the vision until after resurrection. Again, Esther supports this because Esther is a book of timed disclosure. Esther conceals her identity, Mordecai watches from outside, and the hidden plan only comes into the open at the appointed hour. The Lord is working behind the scenes and the book's whole structure depends on that hiddenness. So Matthew 17 and Esther both teach: that public revelation comes only when the right moment arrives. 6) Elijah / restoration and Israel's future turning Matthew 17 speaks of Elijah in two ways at once: John the Baptist has already fulfilled an Elijah-like role, but Jesus' wording also leaves a still-future restoration role in view. Esther also supports a future restoration by showing that the covenant people are threatened but not discarded. Esther is treated as a book of redemptive history in which the Jews are preserved because God's promises to them stand, and because the Messiah must come and return in connection with them. Esther strengthens the Matthew 17 reading that Israel is not finally cast off. God is not finished with Israel chiefly through Jesus' future-tense words about Elijah restoring all things, and then reinforced through the picture of Israel's healing and restored sonship later in the chapter.” Though threatened and with God's face hidden from open view, they are brought through to preservation, mourning, reversal, and future blessing 7) The afflicted boy and Israel's incurable condition The Matthew 17 explanation treats the afflicted boy as picturing Israel in its historical condition: wounded, unstable, and untreatable by human means. Esther strongly confirms that pattern. The Jews stand under a decree of destruction that has to be properly and purposefully dealt with. Haman, picturing Law, has issued a death-word, and the people are trapped unless royal intervention occurs. In Matthew 17 the boy is incurable by the disciples. IN Esther the Jews are doomed under an irreversible decree. In both: the people cannot heal or save themselves. 8) Christ alone intervenes to heal and deliver In Matthew 17, Jesus heals what the disciples could not. In Esther, the same pattern appears through the Mordecai-Christ picture and the Esther-Gospel mediation. Matthew 17 pictures Israel's future restoration, healing, and restored sonship through Christ. The book of Esther supports that pattern by showing that although the first decree of death cannot be revoked, a new decree can be issued through Mordecai's royal authority that brings life to the threatened people. The old word of death cannot simply be revoked, but another word can be issued which grants life. That second word comes through Esther and Mordecai, and the edict issued by Mordecai is explicitly treated as a picture of the New Covenant. Mordecai, picturing Christ, receives the signet, acts with royal authority, and sends out the saving word. Thus Esther is supportive of Matthew 17's portrayal of Messiah Himself being the one who intervenes. 9) The cross remains central IN Matthew 17 Jesus speaks of betrayal, death, and resurrection. A portion of the notes by CG on this from Esther chapter 10 bear repeating:   Haman pictures Law, but Christ actually died. It was Christ who was nailed to the cross, and so in type and picture, Christ became our Haman, our Man under Law, if you will. It is no different at all than Christ equating Himself with the serpent on the pole in John 3:14, or Paul saying that God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us.    In the death of His body, the law died with Him for all who believe. For all who don't, Law, and thus the enmity, remains. This is where the marvelous symbolism of a very misunderstood passage in the book of John is explained. It says in John 20, “Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself.” Many fanciful explanations have been made up about this, but the truth is revealed in what happened to Haman, when he was taken to be executed... they covered his face. The Law was to die. Christ died in fulfillment of the law. When He arose, the face covering was removed, and carefully folded. It was an intentional act of the Lord showing that the shame of death through Law had been removed for those who trust in Him. The people of Israel, the Jews, even to this day, celebrate Purim, and yet they are celebrating the exact opposite of what they think they are celebrating. They curse Haman, stamp their feet, and howl wildly as his name is read, and yet, he simply pictures Law that they are still under. Until they come to Christ, Haman will continue to come after them to destroy, to be killed, and to be annihilated because of the ministry of death, meaning Law (2 Corinthians 3:7). Why do the Jews celebrate Purim? It is because of what pur signifies. It is a lot, a broken piece, and thus Purim, the plural of pur, signifies broken pieces. Pur means “to break,” “frustrate,” “make ineffectual,” “annul,” “bring to naught.” This is what Christ has done concerning our covenant with death according to Paul – For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.   19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 The Jews cling to the law, but it is Christ who has defeated that enemy. The law is annulled in Christ. This is the message of Purim.   Life Application  There is also a striking present-day echo. In 2026, Purim began on the evening of March 2nd just 2 days after Israel was again in direct conflict with Iran. Just as Haman was also not himself Persian (he was Amalekite who gained influence at the heart of the palace and used imperial power against God's people).  In a similar way,  The Islamic Republic of Iran's rulers are militant usurpers who seized control of the land of Persia in 1979 and have held the nation in bondage ever since. Even the recent reports and speculation about Israeli intelligence using covert medical cover—dentists, hidden tracking, to coordinate a sudden destruction on the Supreme Leader —carry an Esther-like atmosphere.    Just for fun check out the link to a stop motion lego video about this by “Stop Motion Sam”! The deeper parallel is the same: the enemy appears secure, the plot seems advanced, yet unseen movements are already in motion, and when the appointed moment comes, the reversal is sudden.

I really want to thank Divyanāma Prabhu and Śraddhā Devī Dāsī for threading the needle, because it's not so easy to land in all these places and have a stretch of time that we've had to sit here and do bhajan. I keep resonating with the cleaning ladies who asked Ānanda Vrindāvana if we all live in one āśrama back in California, and she said, "No, we're from all over the world," but these yātrās are like living in one āśrama and having the opportunity to see what it's like. See how you like it—just hearing and chanting and going to holy places. And if you do like it, then you're really lucky, because this is life. The other part of the life is to take whatever drop we get and give it to as many people as possible. The spiritual mathematics given in the Caitanya-caritāmṛt is: the more you give it out, the more it swells in our own lives. Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda, dear Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, dear Śrīla Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya, Śrīla Rāmānanda Rāya, Śrīla Svarūpa Dāmodara, and all the residents of Jagannātha Purī who are followers of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu: If You so desire, please instill in our hearts a drop of the mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu—for You are His great devotees—so that we can follow in the footsteps of Lord Caitanya by following the footsteps of Śrīla Prabhupāda and his followers, and bring millions and millions of people back here to Jagannātha Purī to chant, dance, and live in one huge āśrama. Make the whole world one āśrama with everyone chanting and hearing. Thank you for considering our request. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #pilgrimageoftheheart #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

The Supreme Refuge: Durgā's Transformation Into the Hindu Great Goddess (SUNY Press, 2025) provides the first comprehensive examination of the Hindu Great Goddess Durgā, one of the most significant deities in the Hindu pantheon, who is celebrated annually during the Navarātra festival, a widely observed event across the Hindu world. Drawing on textual, inscriptional, and iconographic evidence, the study traces Durgā's evolution from a minor goddess to her identification as the Mahādevī, or Great Goddess. It presents an alternative chronology for hymnic materials, aligning them more closely with early iconographic depictions and offering new insights into misidentified attributes of the goddess. The work incorporates evidence from beyond South Asia to contextualize external influences on Durgā's persona and her central myths, particularly her defeat of the buffalo demon Mahiṣa. A detailed analysis of the myths in the influential Devī Māhātmya against earlier Purāṇic accounts highlights the text's sophisticated theological approach. Its strategy places Durgā in a transcendent role while asserting her as the supreme deity and ultimate refuge, accessible to both kings and commoners in dire need of her support.

Ieri, economistul șef al Confederației patronale „Concordia” a spus clar: „mai vorbim peste o lună”. Contextul a fost cel în care economistul prezenta o prognoză referitoare la evoluția indicatorilor macroeconomici în anul 2026. Este cea mai înțeleaptă abordare a unui macroeconomist: stă o lună de zile și se uită la ce se întâmplă în conflictul din Orientul Mijlociu, privește cum se mișcă indicatorii piețelor financiare și apoi, dacă lucrurile s-au clarificat în linii mari, poate face o analiză realistă. Dar, câți dintre economiști și câți dintre experți pot proceda în felul acesta, adică, să aștepte? Cu siguranță, foarte puțini, pentru că evoluțiile de la oră la oră, de la o zi la alta sunt provocatoare și te îndeamnă la comentarii. Deocamdată, vedem cum reapare spectrul creșterii inflației la nivel global și în Uniunea Europeană. Este un sentiment logic, dacă ne uităm la creșterile de prețuri ale țițeiului și gazelor naturale. De exemplu, ieri, Eurostat a publicat rata inflației în zona euro, iar rezultatul a fost mai ridicat decât așteptările, respectiv, în luna februarie a.c., rata anuală a inflației a fost de 1,9%, față de 1,7% în luna ianuarie a.c. și mai ridicată în comparație cu previziunile analiștilor care erau tot de 1,7%. Desigur, inflația din februarie a.c. din zona euro nu a avut nicio legătură cu conflictul din Orientul Mijlociu, dar mass-media europeană marchează un moment foarte complicat și constată că inflația din zona euro vine pe fondul războiului din Orientul Mijlociu. În condiții normale, o rată a inflației de 1,9% nu ar trebui să transmită niciun semnal de alarmă, mai ales că nivelul este sub borna de 2% țintită de Banca Centrală Europeană. Dar, economiștii sunt acum atenți la toate amănuntele și văd că în februarie a.c. creșterile de tarife la capitolul servicii au crescut cu 3,4%, iar inflația, fără alimente și energie, a ajuns la o rată de 2,4%. Culmea este că atât rata generală a inflației, cât și tarifele serviciilor au fost influențate de un eveniment conjunctural, care nu are legătură nici cu prețul țițeiului, nici cu tariful gazelor naturale, nici cu războaiele. Pur și simplu, Olimpiada de iarnă de la Milano a crescut tarifele serviciilor hoteliere și ale restaurantelor cu aproximativ 6%. Deocamdată, o competiție sportivă majoră desfășurată în Italia, a contribuit semnificativ la inflația zonei euro. Dar, îngrijorările rămân. Prețul gazului natural cotat la bursa europeană de profil a crescut cu 70% în primele două zile ale acestei săptămâni, ceea ce pentru o Europă care importă gaze naturale poate fi un adevărat șoc. Așadar, riscurile inflaționiste revin în zona euro și în Uniunea Europeană, iar economiștii își aduc aminte de anul 2022, anul declanșării războiului din Ucraina, atunci când rata inflației a atins nivelul record de 10,6%. Mai complicat este că fantoma reapariției inflației va bloca băncile centrale din zona euro și din Uniunea Europeană să reducă dobânzile. Sunt economiști care văd pericolul stagflației, adică inflație mare și de durată și creștere economică redusă. Este, totuși, prea devreme ca experții să se pronunțe răspicat pe acest subiect, dar toată lumea este de acord că dacă războiul din Orientul Mijlociu se prelungește riscul ca inflația să revină este foarte mare. Întrebarea este: se vor întoarce economia mondială și cea europeană la situația din anul 2022, adică la o rată înaltă a inflației? Nu există un răspuns sigur la această întrebare. Cel mai bine este să procedăm precum spunea economistul șef al Concordia: „mai vorbim peste o lună”.

Seeing the assembly of devotees eagerly waiting to purchase the Name, Lord Nityānanda first examines each of them to test their qualification; then, He sells them the Name by bargaining for His price accordingly. Sometimes when we go out—just as we were recently, as recently as yesterday, to people in the dhāma where we just were, (first Māyāpur, then Jagannātha Purī, then Vṛndāvana) we offer people a little prasādam, a picture of Kṛṣṇa, and transcendental literature. And we give them the opportunity; we bargain with them. We say, “Please give something.” They say, “I don't have anything.” “Nothing? Give something.” Some people will give some small donation, whatever they can afford. Some people are ready to immediately give something in return, recognizing the value, and they say, “I could hardly give enough.” Other people are hesitant, but we find, especially in India, everybody has something. We met a man digging a ditch, and all he was wearing was a gamchā. And we suggested that, on behalf of Lord Nityānanda, we would accept a donation. Some of the devotees who were watching thought, “Where is he going to find a rupee?” Well, it's in the roll! When you put on a gamchā, you have to roll it. It's in there. Similarly, everyone's got something rolled up somewhere that they can offer. Lord Nityānanda goes around. He finds what can somebody give that gets them started in giving. Because, as Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā (BG 3.9): yajñārthāt karmaṇo 'nyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanaḥ tad-arthaṁ karma kaunteya mukta-saṅgaḥ samācara Human life is made successful by giving. When we give, we grow and we notice that not only do we survive giving away what we're so attached to, we feel complete when we give. Paradoxically, we give away and we grow. We feel fuller, because the soul is a servant of Kṛṣṇa—and any way we can serve fills us up immediately. It is natural for the soul to feel happy and full. So Lord Nityānanda quizzes each person to see what level they can start their giving, and then He adjusts the price accordingly. Oh, my dear friends, if you really want to buy this pure Holy Name, then just come along with me, for I am now going to meet with this Nityānanda Mahājana. (Translation, verse 4) That line always gets me, because just think, if someone's going there and they say, “Hey, why don't you come along?” What a life-changing event to meet Nityānanda Prabhu, just like Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, He wanted to join Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.,, ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 #

Pur di compiere il mio corso e il ministerio che ho ricevuto dal Signore Gesù.Atti 20:24

Histoire de l'art et lutte des sexes est publié en 1978 par Françoise d'Eaubonne. Dans cet ouvrage, la pionnière de l'écoféminisme prend appui sur de nombreuses œuvres reconnues, canonisées, pour développer une lecture nourrie de ses convictions féministes. Son ton passionné, érudit et iconoclaste s'appuie sur les débats de son époque, en lien à une histoire sociale et marxiste de l'art et à de nombreuses disciplines, pour décrypter la position des femmes dans les représentations. Elle s'intéresse précisément à la position des artistes dans le champ de l'art, vis-à-vis de leurs commanditaires, de la morale sexuelle de leur époque (elle appartenait aussi au Front Homosexuel d'Action Révolutionnaire), etc. Nous reprendrons quelques exemples de cette autrice prolifique pour saisir ce plaisir à regarder et à analyser de manière différente, tout en précisant le parcours de Françoise d'Eaubonne. Rencontre modérée par Fabrice Bourlez et Madeleine Planeix-Crocker dans le cadre de la chaire Troubles, alliances et esthétiques.Fabienne Dumont est professeure d'histoire de l'art contemporain à l'université Jean-Monnet-Saint-Étienne et critique d'art, spécialiste des questions féministes, de genre et queer articulées à une perspective culturelle, sociale et politique.Parmi ses ouvrages : Des sorcières comme les autres – Artistes et féministes dans la France des années 1970 (PUR, 2014), l'anthologie La rébellion du Deuxième Sexe – L'histoire de l'art au crible des théories féministes anglo-américaines (1970-2000) (Les presses du réel, 2011), deux ouvrages collectifs au sujet de la postcolonialité en France et des travailleuses de Bretagne et d'ailleurs, deux ouvrages au sujet de Nil Yalter en 2019 (une monographie éditée par le MAC VAL et un livre d'entretien chez Manuella Éditions/Aware), un livre de regards d'artistes sur Alice Neel (ER Publishing) et la réédition augmentée de Françoise d'Eaubonne, Histoire de l'art et lutte des sexes [1978] aux Presses du réel en 2025.Jeudi 19 février 2026Amphithéâtre des LogesCrédits photo : © Droits réservés

What happens when God transforms a death sentence into a joyous celebration?In these last two chapters of Esther, we witness the final unfolding of "The Great Reversal" as the Jewish people move from fasting in terror to feasting in victory.  Esther 9-10 reveals how God's divine providence arranged one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the Old Testament. Episode highlights:Historic Rematch: How Mordecai and Esther (descendants of the House of Kish) finished the mission that King Saul failed centuries earlier.A Bold Request: Why Queen Esther asked for one more day of fighting in the citadel of Susa and the impaling of Haman's ten sons.Origins of the Feast of Purim: Why the holiday is named after the "Pur" (the lot) and how it is celebrated today with gifts, food, and the reading of the Megillah.Mordecai's Legacy: How Mordecai's mourning turned into a day of celebration as he rose to become second-in-command to King Xerxes of the Persian Empire and worked for the good of his people.Lessons for our lives today: The Book of Esther concludes with powerful truths about God's faithfulness and our calling:God Specializes in Reversals: What "impossible" situation in your life might God be transforming from mourning into joy?The Power of Divine Providence: Even when God's name isn't mentioned, His hand is never hidden. He orchestrates your story through what may seem like coincidences.Faithfulness Positions You for Purpose: Like Mordecai, your commitment to the welfare of others opens doors for God to work in unexpected ways.Join the Bible Book Club as we wrap up the story of Esther and prepare for our next season in the Book of Job!We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

Before Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura departed for the spiritual world, he stayed in this place where he was engaged in bhajana. Nearby here is the area where Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu chased after the sand dune, considering it to be Govardhana Hill—a very sacred place here in Jagannātha Purī. Two weeks before he left, his disciple, A.C. Bhaktivedanta, had written him a letter as a householder and asked, "What can I do for your mission?" Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura asked him to preach in English. He had also told him previously, and reconfirmed: "You should print books." In fact, he said at Rādhā-kuṇḍa, "If you ever get money, print books." Our Founder-Ācārya of ISKCON, Śrīla A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, followed those instructions with his heart, mind, and soul. To that end, he published hundreds of books that were distributed in the millions; and even today, we are increasing that number all over the world. For Bhādra Pūrṇimā 2026—the great festival that is now taken up by devotees on every continent of the world—we, in the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, have the solemn goal to distribute at least 108,000 Śrīmad-Bhāgavatams in the next several months leading up to the day of Bhādra. The full moon day, during which the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam itself says that the giving away of a Bhāgavatam on that lunar celebration qualifies one to go back home, back to Godhead. We pray to Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, who instructed his dear disciple to spread this all over the world, that we may help by following the footsteps of Śrīla Prabhupāda. May we smash this goal together all over the world, uniting around the principle of spreading Krishna consciousness to all the poor people of the world who have no idea that the goal of life is to go back home, back to Godhead. Please, let us help them. Let us distribute the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam: 108,000 sets. Please go out and do as many as you can! ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #pilgrimageoftheheart #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

La programación de la "Cuaresma Cultural" en Yecla arranca con la presentación del cartel anunciador, obra de Antonio Jesús Villa Cizano, y el nombramiento de Joaquín Requena como Nazareno del Año. A pesar de ser una edición que se prevé atípica debido al cierre de la Basílica de la Purísima por el riesgo de desprendimientos en su cúpula, el calendario incluye cerca de 50 actividades que, de momento, se trasladarán a sedes alternativas como la Iglesia del Hospitalico o la Capilla de las Angustias. Entre las novedades de este año destaca un certamen de bandas que se celebrará al aire libre en la plaza de San Cayetano, sumándose a conciertos solidarios, viacrucis y el pregón de Francisco Muñoz Ortega, mientras técnicos y autoridades trabajan para asegurar el templo de cara a la próxima Semana Santa.

In this session, we continue our deep dive into Megillat Esther, exploring the darker realities behind the “beauty pageant,” the introduction of Mordechai and Esther, and the political events that set the stage for the Purim miracle. Along the way, we bring key Talmud insights and classic commentaries to uncover the deeper meaning behind the story.What we coverThe “pageant” in Chapter 2—and how some commentaries portray it as coercive (including an Ibn Ezra approach)Why Mordechai's location in Shushan mattersEsther's dual name: Hadassah vs. Esther, and what Chazal highlight about her character and presenceEsther's modesty and strategy: hiding her identity and refusing extravaganceThe assassination plot of Bigthan and Teresh—and how Mordechai uncovers itThe rise of Haman and Mordechai's refusal to bowThe king's signet ring as a turning point—and a powerful Chazal teaching about wake-up calls and teshuvahA broader Torah frame: the Amalek/Agag thread and the legacy of Saul, Agag, and Samuel (see 1 Samuel, ch. 15)Why Adar isn't “bad luck”: reframing Adar through the life of MosesTimestamps (approx.)00:00 – Recap of Part 1 (Vashti, the feast, the search for a queen)02:10 – The “pageant” through classic commentary03:30 – Introducing Mordechai in Shushan07:40 – Esther/Hadassah: identity, background, and Chazal13:45 – Why Esther hides her identity + her modest approach18:10 – Esther becomes queen + royal celebration19:15 – Bigthan & Teresh plot and its significance24:00 – Haman's promotion and the bowing decree28:10 – The genocide plot: lots (Pur) from Nisan to Adar36:30 – The signet ring moment and a major rabbinic insight42:25 – Amalek, Agag, and Saul: “misplaced mercy” as a Torah theme57:30 – Adar, Moshe's life, and closing preview

This is quite a long talk, on a very fascinating topic, delivered by Acharya das in the Philippines. It is a comprehensive look into the question of spiritual identity, God-realization, and the resultant experience of the awakening of transcendental and ecstatic love for God which naturally arises from that.Acharya das outlines three essential questions for self-realization: What is my essence? (spiritual being), What is my position? (subservient part and parcel of God, not the center of everything), and What is my natural function? (to love and serve). He described how material consciousness leads people to try becoming "mini-gods," placing themselves at the center of “their” universe, which ultimately results in emptiness and unhappiness. Regarding God-realization, he explained three aspects of God's manifestation: Brahman (impersonal spiritual energy), Paramatma (the expansion of God within the heart of all beings), and Bhagavan (the personal form of God in a spiritual realm). The speaker emphasized that love is an exchange between persons and that every soul has an eternal and intimate connection with God who is their true soulmate. He next explains that pure love for God already exists within everyone's heart and doesn't need to be acquired from external sources. Through the process of bhakti-yoga (devotional practice), particularly chanting God's holy names, this dormant love naturally awakens as the heart becomes purified.Some of the verses he quoted or which support this topic:God - He 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 & Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13The same jīva (spirit-soul) is eternal and is for eternity and without a beginning joined to the Supreme Lord by the tie of an eternal kinship. He is transcendental spiritual potency. - Śrī Brahma-saṁhitā 5.21Learned transcendentalists who know the Absolute Truth call this nondual substance Brahman, Paramātmā or Bhagavān. ‐ Bhāgavata Purāṇa 1.2.11“Pure love for Kṛṣṇa is eternally established in the hearts of the living entities. It is not something to be gained from another source. When the heart is purified by hearing and chanting, this love naturally awakens. — Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya-līlā 22.107“By chanting the holy name of the Lord, one dissolves his entanglement in material activities. After this, one becomes very attracted to Krishna, and thus dormant love for Krishna is awakened.” — Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya-līlā 15.109CHAPTERS00:01:13 Introduction to Soul vs. Body Identity ‎ 00:05:47The Reality of Death and Eternal Nature of the Soul ‎ 00:09:33 The Vedic Teaching on Individual Soul and Supreme Soul ‎ 00:14:07 Self-Realization: Understanding Essence, Position, and Function ‎ 00:21:34 The Problem of Material Consciousness and Mini-God Mentality ‎ 00:27:40 Natural Function: The Joy of Service and Giving ‎ ‎00:34:18 Three Aspects of God: Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan 00:41:22 The Eternal Relationship and Two Birds Analogy ‎ 00:51:39 The Supreme Teaching of Love and Common Misconceptions ‎ 00:55:05 The Nature of Love and Three Aspects of God Continued ‎ 00:56:52 The Process of Awakening Dormant Love ‎ 01:01:10 Sadhana Bhakti: The Practice of Devotional Service ‎ 01:05:12 Meditation as Spiritual Immersion, Not Mental Activity ‎ 01:23:29 Kirtan

When Caitanya Mahāprabhu was teaching about devotional service, he presented 64 items. One of them is chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa; another is associating with devotees; and others are living in a holy Dhāma, reading Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, and worshiping the Deity. He said that of all the 64, these five are so potent that even if you have a little connection with them, you'll make advancement in devotional service. And so, this "coming to the Dhāma" is noticeably prominent in his Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's teachings, of course, he said you should always live in the Dhāma—but if you can't be there physically, you should be there in your mind and heart. But how will you develop such a connection unless you come here? That's why we're here. So, in great humility, we enter this holy place. I offer my respectful obeisances to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, who introduced this Dhāma to us, as well as all the other aspects of devotional service. Not only did he introduce it, but he keeps introducing it to us through his books and through all his lectures, teachings—and also by the example he set by inviting his whole international society to come every year. Of course, there were fewer devotees at that time, but I think the invitation still holds. He relished seeing all of his fledgling disciples from various parts of the world—some of them freezing cold, others from places where no one had ever heard "Hare Kṛṣṇa"—coming into the Dhāma together: Māyāpur, Vṛndāvana, and sometimes Purī. So, we offer our respectful obeisances to Śrīla Prabhupāda and beg his permission to be in this Dhāma for a week, and to hear and chant together. While we are here as travelers—because you've already noticed—"travel" comes from the word travail. If you follow the etymology, everyone knows travail means an extreme of discomfort, but it also traces back to an instrument of torture. But it's not torture when we know we are coming to the Dhāma. Just going through security is kind of like a preparation for leaving this world: "And what do you still have on you, buddy? We'll go through it and look." We can't hide anything in this world. It all goes through an X-ray machine and a pat-down somewhere. It is best if we dispense of the useless things that we're carrying around with us before we get to the final security checkpoint. This is a good place to do it. Not that we come here just to leave our troubles or sins, but naturally, when we come here in a mood of service, we'll find that whatever material aspirations we have can be transformed into aspirations for serving Kṛṣṇa. After all, that's what's permanent. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 #spiritu

Os Sorteios de Haman – Quando o “Acaso” Desafia o DestinoNa Meguilá, Haman lança o Pur — um sorteio para determinar o dia ideal para exterminar o povo judeu.Ele acredita no poder do acaso, da astrologia e das forças naturais.Mas Purim revela algo muito mais profundo:

Et l'homme en grande forme de ce début de saison est Sarthois ! Et pour ses toutes premières courses de 2026, le Manceau de 22 ans a décidé de survoler le Challenge de Majorque. Pur grimpeur de la formation Tudor Pro Cycling, il a tout simplement été le dernier homme capable de tenir la roue d'un certain… Remco Evenepoel, champion olympique, rappelons-le.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu got the real thing directly from the Kūrma Purāṇa. He took that and He had it copied; and then He came all the way back here to Madurai, specifically to assuage the anxiety of Rāmadāsa Vipra—his anxiety that Sītā had been stolen—and He showed him the original passage of the Kūrma Purāṇa, which definitively states what Mahāprabhu had concluded and had presented to Rāmadāsa Vipra. We can learn much from this. First of all, when there is genuine, spontaneous devotion in the heart of a devotee, Mahāprabhu is greatly appreciative; and in this case, He moved heaven and earth in order to assuage the spiritual anxiety of this pure devotee. What is also apparent from this pastime is that śāstra is of paramount importance; because Caitanya Mahāprabhu presented the truth of the situation, but He wasn't satisfied until He got the original manuscript, had it copied, and brought it back to Rāmadāsa Vipra from the Kūrma Purāṇa to show him the proof. So, every system of knowledge has to have an ultimate proof, and it has to be knowledge that proves itself. It has to be self-luminous, self-evident. That is the śāstra. So, our movement, although it's based on spontaneous devotional service—and you see that in this pastime—it's also foundationally situated in śāstra at the same time. Otherwise, Caitanya Mahāprabhu could have just appreciated the sentiment of the brāhmaṇa and left it at that, but He walked hundreds of miles to and from, found the śāstra, and found it so important to bring the original leaf back. So, think how important it is for us that we have availability to the Bhagavad-gītā, to the entire Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, to the Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu, and Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta. I was berating the so-called "glory" of technology this morning, but the upside in yukta-vairāgya is that because of modern digital capabilities, we're able to have all these śāstras at our fingertips. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #globalyouthretreat #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

Dario Disegni"Seeing Auschwitz"Uno sguardo su Auschwitzhttps://seeing-auschwitz.com/Cento scatti rilevano le atrocità inflitte a più di un milione di persone nel più grande centro di sterminio della storiafino al 31 marzo 2026Archivio di Stato di TorinoSezione Corte – piazzetta Mollino, 1La mostra fotografica Seeing Auschwitz presenta oltre cento scatti realizzati tra il 1941 e il 1944 all'interno del campo di sterminio nazista. Le immagini compongono un reportage di straordinaria forza documentaria sulla vita e sulla morte di oltre un milione di prigionieri.L'esposizione offre un triplice sguardo sul più grande centro di sterminio della storia. Da un lato vi sono le fotografie scattate in gran parte dei carnefici nazisti, che documentano le diverse fasi del processo di eliminazione dei deportati, dall'arrivo nel campo fino alle camere a gas. A queste si affiancano alcuni rari scatti realizzati clandestinamente dai prigionieri, che restituiscono il punto di vista delle vittime. Completa il percorso lo sguardo degli Alleati, che sorvolando l'area riprendono dall'alto ciò che accade.Commissionata nel 2020 da ONU e UNESCO e realizzata dall'ente culturale spagnolo Musealia in collaborazione con il Museo Statale di Auschwitz-Birkenau, la mostra è già stata ospitata in importanti sedi internazionali tra cui Madrid, Londra, Parigi e diverse città degli Stati Uniti. L'arrivo a Torino è reso possibile grazie alla Comunità Ebraica di Torino, alla Fondazione di Studi Storici Gaetano Salvemini, all'Ambasciata di Polonia in Italia e all'ospitalità dell'Archivio di Stato.L'esposizione si articola in nove aree tematiche distribuite in quattro spazi. Pur nella durezza del tema e nella forza delle immagini originali, Seeing Auschwitz è concepita come una mostra divulgativa, pensata anche per essere proposta alle scuole.Fortemente voluta e organizzata dalla Comunità Ebraica di Torino con la Fondazione di studi storici Gaetano Salvemini, l'Ambasciata di Polonia in Italia e l'Archivio di Stato, che ha dato anche la disponibilità ad accoglierla, questa mostra racconta per la prima volta, attraverso un triplice punto di vista, lo sterminio perpetuato con meccanica sistematicità dai nazisti durante la Seconda guerra mondiale. Infatti, la selezione di circa cento scatti realizzati tra il 1941 e il 1944 e ritrovata fortunosamente dalla deportata ad Auschwitz Lilly Jacob nel 1945 quando fu liberata a Dora, è in gran parte stata riprodotta dalle SS, ma anche dagli stessi prigionieri e dagli alleati che sorvolavano l'area. Una triplice ottica che sottolinea piani emotivi moltodiversi.La storia raccontata per immagini: scatti crudi, autentici e forti che trascinano il visitatore nel qui e ora del campo di concentramento e sterminio nazista di Auschwitz. La foto come strumento che attesta e documenta il protocollo operativo dello sterminio degli ebrei dall'ingresso al campo, alla schedatura, all'avvio alla morte, realizzate dalle SS sono parte dell'“Auschwitz Album”. Questo nucleo fotografico si contrappone alle cinque rare immagini scattate clandestinamente dai prigionieri stessi dall'interno delle baracche, a cui si affiancano un paio di dettagliati schizzi, in presa diretta, dall'interno delle camere a gas. L'introduzione dell'apparecchio fotografico che ha consentito questo prezioso reportage è stata opera della resistenza polacca.A completare la lettura di una pagina storica drammatica, le foto scattate durante le ricognizioni aeree degli alleati.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

In this episode of the series 8 Self‑Care Practices for Times of Injustice and Rising Fascism— I dive into ancestral resilience — the deep strength, wisdom, and instincts passed down through generations that can support us as we navigate through these moments. I share real examples from my own life — my dad's example of dignity and power, the medicine of cacao, and the legacy of my Purépecha ancestors defending their sovereignty — to show how Ancestral Resilience and Generational Power can be tapped into as a real, living source of strength and resilience in times of hardship or injustice. *And if you're not wanting to reach for the sweets/snacks when your life or the world are feeling overwhelming, I want you to know it's essential to diversify our sources of comfort and strength. We get to claim and walk in the wisdom, resilience, and power already coursing through our veins. This isn't self‑care fluff. It's needed support and medicine. Press play. xo Brenda ps.

After having compiled the voluminous Vedic literature—the four Vedas, the Mahābhārata, the eighteen Purāṇas, and the Vedānta-sūtra—Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the literary incarnation of God, felt profoundly unhappy and restless. He had performed a colossal service to humanity by making all this knowledge accessible. He had written extensively on: Dharma/Artha/Kāma/Mokṣa These four are considered the aims of […] The post Lasting Change appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

Come si costruisce l'indipendenza quando nasci nelle crepe della dipendenza economica? Anna Romanin è diventata adulta a Latisana, in Friuli Venezia Giulia, dentro una famiglia monoreddito, con una madre senza voce sulle scelte familiari e un padre capace di negare persino un sogno semplice, come rifare una cucina. La sua vita adulta è un lungo tentativo di non ripetere quella storia, anche se le circostanze la mettono continuamente alla prova.Nei primi anni di università - dopo la morte della madre - si trova a sostituirla nelle faccende domestiche, mentre il padre – pur presente – resta emotivamente e finanziariamente distante. Dopo la Magistrale, Anna inizia subito a lavorare nel settore della comunicazione e poco dopo, si sposa. Pur potendo, non cede mai alla lusinga di farsi mantenere dal marito, odontotecnico e proprietario di uno studio dentistico. Ma, come spesso accade a molte donne, Anna concentra la sua battaglia per l'autonomia fuori casa, nel lavoro, lasciando che le dinamiche domestiche seguano ruoli e aspettative interiorizzate: «All'interno della coppia, i sacrifici li ho sempre fatti io, perché lui era quello che guadagnava di più». Lo stesso accade quando nasce loro figlia: «Era quasi scontato che una mamma dovesse fare part time, lavorare poco e occuparsi del figlio. Certo che volevo stare con mia figlia, ma a livello di carriera è stato un intoppo».Quando sua figlia ha cinque anni, Anna e suo marito si separano e quattro mesi dopo, improvvisamente, lei viene licenziata e può contare solo sulla partita Iva. Impara a negoziare compensi, a chiedere il giusto valore del suo lavoro, a tenere insieme le entrate.Intanto, una nuova sfida si prospetta all'orizzonte. Come a sua madre 20 anni prima, le viene diagnosticato un tumore. E quella malattia le mostra, brutalmente, quanto poco siano tutelati i liberi professionisti. «Avrei dovuto avere come un dipendente la libertà di occuparmi di me stessa. Invece ricordo mail da mandare, richieste da gestire…».A questo punto, Anna si pone una domanda fondamentale: come può una donna separata, mamma e libera professionista, gestire da sola tutta la crescita pratica di una figlia? In una società dove il carico mentale e di cura resta fortemente sbilanciato sulle donne, il rischio è che, come dice Anna, potranno separarsi solo le donne economicamente solide o con famiglie solide alle spalle, mentre le altre non potranno permetterselo, perché i costi, in tutti i sensi, sono troppo elevati.

Il surplus commerciale cinese nei primi undici mesi dell'anno ha superato per la prima volta la soglia dei mille miliardi di dollari, in aumento del 22,1 per cento rispetto al 2024. Un risultato che arriva nonostante il crollo dell'export verso gli Stati Uniti, in calo del 28,6 per cento a causa dei dazi, e nonostante gli sforzi del governo cinese di puntare sui consumi interni come nuovo motore di crescita. Le esportazioni complessive sono comunque cresciute del 5,9 per cento su base annua.Xi Jinping e Donald Trump, per motivi opposti, vorrebbero una riduzione di questo surplus, ma i dati diffusi dall'amministrazione doganale cinese mostrano un quadro molto diverso: gli USA non hanno piegato la Cina con le tariffe e Pechino non riesce a sganciarsi dal modello basato su export e import. A novembre il surplus ha toccato 112 miliardi di dollari, con esportazioni in crescita verso Africa, America Latina, ASEAN ed Europa, dove l'export cinese è salito del 14,8 per cento. Le importazioni crescono poco, solo dell'1,9 per cento. Intanto l'export verso gli Stati Uniti continua a scendere, segnando l'ottavo mese consecutivo di cali a doppia cifra. Ne abbiamo parlato con Giuliano Noci, professore di Strategia e Marketing al Politecnico di Milano e prorettore del Polo territoriale cinese del Politecnico.Nel disordine globale per l'America di Trump il nemico è l'EuropaLa nuova Strategia di Sicurezza Nazionale degli Stati Uniti, 33 pagine pubblicate la scorsa settimana, rappresenta la summa della visione di politica estera del presidente Trump per i prossimi anni. Un documento che sembra confermare le parole di Ursula von der Leyen, secondo cui "l'Occidente come lo conosciamo non esiste più". Trump individua nell'Unione Europea un bersaglio privilegiato, accusandola di avviarsi verso una "cancellazione della civiltà" a causa di migrazioni, bassa natalità, pacifismo, energie rinnovabili e difesa dei valori liberali.Nelle ultime ore Trump è tornato all'attacco, definendo i leader europei "deboli" in un'intervista a Politico e sostenendo che "l'Europa non sa cosa fare". Sulla guerra in Ucraina, ha ribadito che "non sarebbe mai dovuta accadere" e che la Russia oggi si trova in una posizione negoziale più forte. Le sue parole hanno provocato reazioni dure, in particolare dal cancelliere tedesco Merz. Quale scenario si apre ora nei rapporti transatlantici? Ne abbiamo parlato con Adriana Cerretelli, editorialista del Sole 24 Ore a Bruxelles.Strategia sicurezza nazionale di Trump, America First nero su biancoLa nuova Strategia di Sicurezza Nazionale, pubblicata venerdì, mette nero su bianco l'America First del secondo mandato Trump. Il documento mira a "ripristinare la preminenza americana nell'emisfero occidentale", riprendendo la logica della dottrina Monroe, storicamente utilizzata per respingere ingerenze europee e giustificare interventi americani in America Latina. Per l'Europa il giudizio è duro: viene descritta come una realtà minacciata da declino economico, crisi demografica, migrazioni e restrizioni alla libertà di espressione. Pur definita "strategicamente e culturalmente vitale", la relazione con il Vecchio Continente appare più critica che in passato.Il documento sposta le priorità strategiche su altre aree: l'emisfero occidentale, l'immigrazione, la competizione con la Cina. Trump promette di riequilibrare i rapporti economici con Pechino, mettendo al centro reciprocità e tutela dell'indipendenza economica americana. Riafferma inoltre l'impegno a far rispettare la dottrina Monroe, con effetti diretti anche sulla crisi in Venezuela. Ne abbiamo parlato con Alessandro Plateroti, direttore editoriale di UCapital.com.

In this final lecture of the "Wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita" series, Acharya das explores the concept of "the yoga of love" or bhakti yoga. He explains that bhakti yoga represents both a spiritual practice and the ultimate goal of all yoga practices. In considering this subject it is important to distinguish between material conceptions of love, which are often self-centered, and true spiritual love, which is characterized by selflessness and devotion to the Supreme Soul. Acharya das emphasizes that bhakti is not merely a supplementary practice but the culmination of all spiritual paths, representing the natural function of the spirit soul in its pure state. The talk highlights the intimate, reciprocal relationship between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul, describing it as a bond of "eternal kinship."Links to two other talks mentioned in this talk:Is it Love or Lust - https://open.spotify.com/episode/4XVCggkxHZtkbQCJjlYN36?si=LRmjvduRQsqaV0iiDsQVugYoga of the Bhagavad-gita - https://open.spotify.com/episode/2Q2YFvbXyh1eHyDqio6P9o?si=ckdKNW38RSCPrEaZ8Qe5CAVerses quoted in this talk:The same jīva is eternal and is for eternity and without a beginning joined to the Supreme Lord by the tie of an eternal kinship. - Śrī Brahma-saṁhitā 5.21And of all yogīs, he who always abides in Me with great faith, worshiping Me in transcendental loving service[bhakti-yoga], is most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all. - Bhagavad-gītā 6.47My dear Arjuna, only by undivided devotional service can I be understood as I am, standing before you, and can thus be seen directly. Only in this way can you enter into the mysteries of My understanding. - Bhagavad-gītā 11.54The pure devotee is always within the core of My heart, and I am always in the heart of the pure devotee.

I promise you this because you are My very dear friend. - Bhagavad-gītā 18.65He who follows this imperishable path of devotional service and who completely engages himself with faith, making Me the supreme goal, is very, very dear to Me. - Bhagavad-gītā 12.20

Gli disse: "Verrò e lo guarirò".Ma il centurione rispose: "Signore, io non sono degno che tu entri sotto il mio tetto, ma di' soltanto una parola e il mio servo sarà guarito. Pur essendo anch'io un subalterno, ho dei soldati sotto di me e dico a uno: "Va'!", ed egli va; e a un altro: "Vieni!", ed egli viene; e al mio servo: "Fa' questo!", ed egli lo fa".Ascoltandolo, Gesù si meravigliò e disse a quelli che lo seguivano: "In verità io vi dico, in Israele non ho trovato nessuno con una fede così grande! Ora io vi dico che molti verranno dall'oriente e dall'occidente e siederanno a mensa con Abramo, Isacco e Giacobbe nel regno dei cieli".Parola del Signore.

I ministri dell'Ambiente dell'Ue hanno raggiunto a Bruxelles un accordo sul clima che fissa l'obiettivo di ridurre del 90% le emissioni rispetto ai livelli del 1990 entro il 2040. Dopo 24 ore di trattative, solo Slovacchia, Ungheria e Polonia si sono opposte, mentre Belgio e Bulgaria si sono astenuti. L'Italia, inizialmente contraria, ha sostenuto il compromesso finale. La proposta della Commissione europea rappresenta una tappa intermedia verso la neutralità climatica del 2050. È stata introdotta la possibilità per gli Stati membri di utilizzare crediti internazionali fino al 5% per compensare le emissioni, una misura fortemente voluta dall'Italia, mentre Germania, Spagna e Paesi nordici spingevano per il limite al 3%. Questi crediti, legati a progetti ambientali come riforestazione o investimenti in rinnovabili, dovranno essere di alta qualità. È inoltre previsto che dal 2030 si possa valutare l'uso di un ulteriore 5% di crediti domestici. Rinviata infine al 2028 l'estensione del sistema Ets 2 al trasporto stradale e al riscaldamento degli edifici. Su richiesta italiana, il testo riconosce il ruolo dei biocarburanti e dei carburanti a basse emissioni nella decarbonizzazione dei trasporti, come confermato dal commissario europeo al Clima, Wopke Hoekstra. Ne parliamo con Adriana Cerretelli, editorialista Il Sole 24 Ore Bruxelles.La manifattura resiste ai dazi, in calo ma verso ripresaIl 2025 sarà un anno di transizione per la manifattura italiana, con un calo del fatturato deflazionato dell'1%, meno marcato rispetto al -2,6% medio del biennio precedente. Il fatturato nominale resterà elevato, a 1.120 miliardi di euro. La debolezza dell'industria è comune anche ad altri Paesi europei, in particolare la Germania. Nel biennio 2026-2027 è attesa una ripresa moderata (+1% medio annuo) grazie al miglioramento della domanda europea, al rientro dell'inflazione e alla ripartenza tedesca. I settori più dinamici nel 2025 saranno la farmaceutica (+3%), l'elettrotecnica (+1,7%) e alimentare e bevande (+1,1%), mentre moda (-3,5%) e autoveicoli e moto (-9%) resteranno in difficoltà. Dal 2026, la crescita sarà trainata dai comparti legati alla doppia transizione digitale ed ecologica: elettronica e meccanica (+2,2%), autoveicoli (+2%), elettrotecnica (+1,9%), largo consumo (+1,7%), farmaceutica (+1,5%) e alimentare (+0,7%). Anche il sistema moda tornerà lievemente positivo (+0,4%). Secondo De Felice, il sistema manifatturiero italiano mostra capacità di adattamento e potenziale di ripresa in un contesto di forte cambiamento. Interviene Gregorio De Felice, capo economista e responsabile Studi e Ricerche di Intesa Sanpaolo.Cerved, Made in Italy vale quasi metà dell'export nazionaleLe imprese del made in Italy, circa 76 mila, hanno generato nel 2023 ricavi per 637 miliardi di euro e occupato quasi 2 milioni di persone, con una crescita del 4,3% rispetto al 2014, superiore al +3,7% dell'intera manifattura. Secondo il Monitor Cerved, che analizza i settori chiave come agroalimentare, moda, arredo, meccanica, trasporti e farmaceutica, queste aziende mostrano solidità patrimoniale e finanziaria e una forte vocazione all'export. Pur rappresentando solo il 7,8% delle società di capitali italiane, generano il 47,2% dell'export nazionale, pari a 200 miliardi di euro nel 2023. La crescita dovrebbe proseguire con un leggero aumento dei ricavi (+0,2%) nel 2025 e un +1,7% nel 2026. Tuttavia, la sfida principale sarà mantenere la competitività in un contesto segnato da dazi americani e tensioni geopolitiche. Lo studio evidenzia l'importanza di investimenti in innovazione, sostenibilità e diversificazione dei mercati, puntando su India, Sud-Est asiatico e Africa. «La capacità innovativa delle imprese sarà decisiva per restare competitive», sottolinea il ceo di Cerved, Luca Peyrano. Passa nei nostri studi Regina Corradini D'Arienzo, amministratore delegato e direttore generale di SIMEST.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 166 tato mahā-purāṇānāṁ mahopaniṣadāṁ tathā mādhya-sthyād āgamānāṁ tu jayo jāto mama priyaḥ TRANSLATION Then the major Purāṇas and Upaniṣads became arbitrators, and so victory went to the Āgamas. That pleased me very much.

Doesn't matter how much yoga you practice. Doesn't matter how detached you are, how mindful you are of the world; you may even achieve the point of equanimity. Has anybody here achieved complete equanimity, even when the monkey jumps on your head? No problem! So, even if you've achieved that state, it won't help you unless you have Acyuta-bhāva; you have to have that awakening that comes from Madana-Mohan. It stimulates the heart. It could come from the scent of the Tulasī leaf mixed with saffron. It could come from that one last Kīrtan, and we've seen it before. One young devotee came to the New York Ratha-yātrā. Complete equilibrium in life, because he grew up in a devotee family, and in one Kīrtan, the devotees were jumping up off the ground, and then he started jumping off the ground. After that, he said, "I'm in all the way." Changed. His heart changed. We know another devotee who came to Jagannāth Purī, and he saw the lotus eyes of Toṭā Gopināth, and he said, "That's it. I'm convinced. I'm in." Kṛṣṇa touches our heart. naiṣkarmyam apy acyuta-bhāva-varjitaṁ na śobhate jñānam (SB 1.5.12) Nothing else is enough in this world, through any process, except for bhakti, represented by Madana-Mohan. And that's what this temple is. It's what we should build in our heart. A monument in the heart that says nothing else but Kṛṣṇa only: the worshiping of Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. No other demigod, no other movie star, no other sports guy—unless you see them in relationship to Kṛṣṇa. When we have that experience of "I'm attracted to Kṛṣṇa, and all I want is Kṛṣṇa," it doesn't matter externally how entangled we are. Once that decision is there within the heart, due to this transformation from Madana-Mohan, then we're going back to Godhead. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

Ștefan Dărăbuș ii dezvăluie lui Mihai Morar cum a schimbat imaginea unei țări.Anii '90 au însemnat deschiderea României către Occident. Din păcate, una în care vestul a fost pus în fața unor realități care nu ne făceau cinste. Imaginile cu orfanii neglijați, profund traumatizați, murdari, copii cu adevărat ai nimănui, au făcut înconjurul lumii și au constituit o reală palmă dată societății noastre. Și mai grav, au adus în prim plan drama reală prin care treceau 100.000 de orfani. De copii, majoritatea născuți perfect sănătosi, pe care însă sistemul disfuncțional i-a condamnat pe viață, catalogându-i bolnavi irecuperabili, handicapați, violenți. Realitatea era însă cu totul alta.Descoperă povestea omului care, prin emoție și empatie a reușit să închidă orfelinatele groazei, să relocheze acești copii și să le ofere nici mai mult, nici mai puțin, decât o nouă viață, printr-o inițiativă cum puține sunt: Hope and Homes for Children. Fundatța care pentru copiii abandonați înseamnă speranță, iar pentru o tară întreaga înseamnă o lecție de umanitate.Pur și simplu Fain & Simplu.Cu omul care a inițiat acest demers - Ștefan Dărăbuș – și unul dintre ambasadorii săi:  Mihai Morar.

Deities are known for their intimate connection with their devotees, and the secret in life was given by one of my godbrothers, who used to live in Govardhan. He lived and passed in Govardhana. His name is Gopīparāṇdhana Prabhu. He had stayed where we were, right next to where we were this morning for breakfast. He lived just down the road from there, in a little house with his wife and child and a couple of cows. He was a great scholar, a linguistic scholar. He helped to translate many of Prabhupāda's books, including the 10th, 11th, and 12th Cantos. Also, he was the great expert who was able to bring the Bṛhat Bhāgavatamṛta to light in a perfect way, praised by the greatest scholar of Gaudiya Vaishnavism at the time in the academic world Joseph T. O'Connell who said, "Nobody else in the world could have done that." That was the great Gopīparāṇdhana Prabhu. And he said once, something that I've always kept with me and that anyone can live by for great success in life, and I would like to tell you.He said, "It's not what you know that counts, it's who you know and what you are." So we learned this lesson from Śrīla Kavirāja Gosvāmī, from Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, to find the pure devotees and follow in their footsteps. Even if we feel unqualified, even if we are unqualified, we become qualified. Kalpante ye 'nu tān iha—in this world, from whatever position we're in now, even Sūta Gosvāmī says in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (SB 1.2.25): bhejire munayo 'thāgre bhagavantam adhokṣajam sattvaṁ viśuddhaṁ kṣemāya kalpante ye 'nu tān iha Which means that previously, all the great saints worshipped the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is beyond the three modes of material nature. Anyone who follows in their footsteps and tries to emulate what they have done according to their capacity becomes eligible for the same result that they attained. So we come here begging for the mercy of Śrīla Mādhavendra Purī, thinking of how he carried wood in his hands for the Lord. And we can remember that he's considered the most celebrated of all Vaiṣṇavas in our sampradāya, as he set the stage for Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to come and teach the emotional love for Kṛṣṇa, which had not been taught ever before. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #kartikimmersionretreat #pilgrimage #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

Cc Madhya 16.1-64 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/16/advanced-view/ Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura gives the following summary of this chapter in his Amṛta-pravāha-bhāṣya. When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted to go to Vṛndāvana, Rāmānanda Rāya and Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya indirectly presented many obstructions. In due course of time, all the devotees of Bengal visited Jagannātha Purī for the third year. This time, all the wives of the Vaiṣṇavas brought many types of food, intending to extend invitations to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu at Jagannātha Purī. When the devotees arrived, Caitanya Mahāprabhu sent His blessings in the form of garlands. In that year also, the Guṇḍicā temple was cleansed, and when the Cāturmāsya period was over, all the devotees returned to their homes in Bengal. Caitanya Mahāprabhu forbade Nityānanda to visit Nīlācala every year. Questioned by the inhabitants of Kulīna-grāma, Caitanya Mahāprabhu again repeated the symptoms of a Vaiṣṇava. Vidyānidhi also came to Jagannātha Purī and saw the festival of Oḍana-ṣaṣṭhī. When the devotees bade farewell to the Lord, the Lord was determined to go to Vṛndāvana, and on the day of Vijaya-daśamī, He departed. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

Cc Madhya 13.66-137 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/13/advanced-view/ ------------------------------------------------------------ In his Anubhāṣya, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura describes the ecstasy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu as follows. After giving up the company of the gopīs in Vṛndāvana, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the son of Mahārāja Nanda, engaged in His pastimes at Dvārakā. When Kṛṣṇa went to Kurukṣetra with His brother and sister and others from Dvārakā, He again met the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is rādhā-bhāva-dyuti-suvalita, that is, Kṛṣṇa Himself assuming the part of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī in order to understand Kṛṣṇa. Lord Jagannātha-deva is Kṛṣṇa, and Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. Caitanya Mahāprabhu's leading Lord Jagannātha toward the Guṇḍicā temple corresponded to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī's leading Kṛṣṇa toward Vṛndāvana. Śrī Kṣetra, Jagannātha Purī, was taken as the kingdom of Dvārakā, the place where Kṛṣṇa enjoys supreme opulence. But He was being led by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to Vṛndāvana, the simple village where all the inhabitants are filled with ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa. Śrī Kṣetra is a place of aiśvarya-līlā, just as Vṛndāvana is the place of mādhurya-līlā. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's following at the rear of the ratha indicated that Lord Jagannātha, Kṛṣṇa, was forgetting the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana. Although Kṛṣṇa neglected the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana, He could not forget them. Thus in His opulent Ratha-yātrā, He was returning to Vṛndāvana. In the role of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was examining whether the Lord still remembered the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana.

Cc Madhya 124-243 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/11/advanced-view/ ------------------------------------------------------------ At the present moment we see that some of the members of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness are tending to leave their preaching activities in order to sit in a solitary place. This is not a very good sign. It is a fact that Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura has condemned this process for neophytes. He has even stated in a song, pratiṣṭhāra tare, nirjanera ghare, tava hari-nāma kevala kaitava: “Sitting in a solitary place intending to chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra is considered a cheating process.” This practice is not possible for neophytes at all. The neophyte devotee must act and work very laboriously under the direction of the spiritual master, and he must thus preach the cult of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Only after maturing in devotion can he sit down in a solitary place to chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself did. Although Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, to teach us a lesson He traveled all over India continuously for six years and only then retired at Jagannātha Purī. Even at Jagannātha Purī the Lord chanted the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra in great meetings at the Jagannātha temple. The point is that one should not try to imitate Haridāsa Ṭhākura at the beginning of one's transcendental life. One must first become very mature in devotion and thus receive the approval of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Only at such a time may one actually sit down peacefully in a solitary place to chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra and remember the lotus feet of the Lord. The senses are very strong, and if a neophyte devotee imitates Haridāsa Ṭhākura, his enemies (kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, mada and mātsarya) will disturb and fatigue him. Instead of chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, the neophyte will simply sleep soundly.

Verses discussed: Cc Madhya 259-279 Prabhupāda explains that in one of his purports. He quotes from Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, and he said, there are three kinds of sukṛti. There's jñāna-sukṛti, which qualifies one for impersonal liberation. That's why some people—they already have that sukṛti—and they are attracted to that. Another is karma-sukṛti. It's called something else, but it means the same thing. They have sukṛti for getting really wealthy, really fast. It's just in them. And then there's bhakti-unmukhī-sukṛti, which means that somehow or other one comes in contact with pure devotees, as we know from another verse in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta: sādhu-saṅga, sādhu-saṅga—sarva-śāstre kaya lava-mātra sādhu-saṅge sarva-siddhi haya Just a little bit of connection with pure devotees can give one this bhakti-unmukhī-sukṛti. In the Jaiva Dharma, you'll find near the beginning—in the Bṛhad-Nāradīya Purāṇa—there's a verse that describes how, when one gets this kind of bhakti-unmukhī-sukṛti and it accumulates within the heart, when it comes to a certain level, then śraddhā is born. And there is a sense of appreciation for devotees and devotional service. So there are three categories of sukṛti.

Verses discussed:Cc Madhya 9.146-258 Text 210: Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu returned to southern Mathurā [Madurai] and delivered the original manuscript of the Kūrma Purāṇa to Rāmadāsa Vipra. Texts 211-212: “When he was petitioned by mother Sītā, the fire-god, Agni, brought forth an illusory form of Sītā, and Rāvaṇa, who had ten heads, kidnapped the false Sītā. The original Sītā then went to the abode of the fire-god. When Lord Rāmacandra tested the body of Sītā, it was the false, illusory Sītā that entered the fire. At that time the fire-god brought the original Sītā from his abode and delivered her to Lord Rāmacandra.” Text 213: Rāmadāsa Vipra was very pleased to receive the original leaf manuscript of the Kūrma Purāṇa, and he immediately fell down before the lotus feet of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and began to cry. Text 214: After receiving the manuscript, the brāhmaṇa, being very pleased, said, “Sir, You are Lord Rāmacandra Himself and have come in the dress of a sannyāsī to give me audience. Text 215: “My dear Sir, You have delivered me from a very unhappy condition. I request that You take Your lunch at my place. Please accept this invitation. Text 216: “Due to my mental distress I could not give You a very nice lunch the other day. Now, by good fortune, You have come again to my home.” Text 217: Saying this, the brāhmaṇa very happily cooked food, and a first-class dinner was offered to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Text 218: Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu passed that night in the house of the brāhmaṇa. Then, after showing him mercy, the Lord started toward the Tāmraparṇī River in Pāṇḍya-deśa. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

On this very auspicious Laxmī Pūrnimā (Autumn full moon) I want to discuss the topic we've been meaning to discuss for sometime now: “Kundalinī emergency” or “spiritual crisis" & how to say safe.First, we distinguish between three different kinds of “lunacy”with an emphasis on the destabilizing, “not so fun” kind that can sometimes induced by intense spiritual practice! I argue that the kind of divine madness we see in great realized souls like Sri Ramakrishna is fundamentally different in nature and flavor than the kinds of mental illness that we sometimes fetishize in the name of spirituality but is really a destabilizing and painful experience for ourselves and others. Although outwardly, the "spiritual" kind of madness might resemble the "not so fun" kind, they are not the same and in this lecture we carefully explain why. We also make a reference to a politicized use of "madness" to disenfranchise groups or ideologies that don't fit into the norm as defined by the powers that be, just so that we can be nuanced in our use of the word "madness" or "lunacy" or "craziness", which are all themes that are very central not just to mysticism and spiritual as a whole but specifically to Mother Kālī & her cremation ground retinue! You'll notice much of this talk is expanding on ideas that you might have first encountered here in the Why is Kālī Crazy? talk. And since it was Laxmī Pūrnimā we made sure to have plenty of asides on Mā Laxmī as the embodiment of abundance in every sense of the word. We tell a few Purānic stories to show the secrets of calling in abundance & also, I make a case against understanding "money" (which we point out as a rather superficial conceptual structure) to be the only symbol for wealth! Naturally, this took us into a discussion of the Goddess in all her aspects as Kālī, Laxmī & Sarasvatī (as encountered in the Devī Māhātmyam) and as per the next three big moon celebrations (Laxmī Pūrnimā followed by Śyāma Kālī Pūjā followed by Sarasvatī Pūjā) that come after Navarātri, the 9 Nights of the Goddess. We make a few arguments as to why the cremation ground/cemetery is so important for spiritual life as representing that realm beyond the conscious, "civilized" mind of concepts which we are attempting to venture into as part of spiritual quest, in our journey from the finite to the Infinite! It was a rather rich talk, if I may so myself.May it be an offering to the Divine Mother! Jai Mā!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

A summary of the sixth chapter is given by Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura in his Amṛta-pravāha-bhāṣya as follows. When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu entered the temple of Jagannātha, He immediately fainted. Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya then took Him to his home. Meanwhile, Gopīnātha Ācārya, the brother-in-law of Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya, met Mukunda Datta and talked to him about Caitanya Mahāprabhu's acceptance of sannyāsa and His journey to Jagannātha Purī. After hearing about Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's fainting and His being carried to the house of Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya, people crowded there to see the Lord. Śrīla Nityānanda Prabhu and other devotees then visited the Jagannātha temple, and when they came back to the house of Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu returned to external consciousness. Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya received everyone and distributed mahā-prasādam with great care. The Bhaṭṭācārya then became acquainted with Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and arranged accommodations at his aunt's house. His brother-in-law, Gopīnātha Ācārya, established that Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu was Kṛṣṇa Himself, but Sārvabhauma and his many disciples could not accept this. However, Gopīnātha Ācārya convinced Sārvabhauma that no one can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead without being favored by Him. He proved by śāstric quotation, quotations from the revealed scriptures, that Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was Kṛṣṇa Himself in person. Still, Sārvabhauma did not take these statements very seriously. Hearing all these arguments, Caitanya Mahāprabhu told His devotees that Sārvabhauma was His spiritual master and that whatever he said out of affection was for everyone's benefit. https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/6/ ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #govardhanreadings #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

Mādhavendra Purī had no hesitation to go all the way back, just to be noted, whatever trouble he was taking. He took it as a burden of love, of course, but it did mention there that Gopāla wanted to spare His devotee any extra inconvenience, so he had him offer the sandwich locally. But your observation about "ye yathā māṁ prapadyante—that as one surrenders unto Me, I reward them accordingly"—is also apt and important. It's important that we notice Kṛṣṇa's reciprocation and how kind He is. That's the quintessential attitude of a devotee, as expressed in: tat te 'nukampāṁ su-samīkṣamāṇo bhuñjāna evātma-kṛtaṁ vipākam hṛd-vāg-vapurbhir vidadhan namas te jīveta yo mukti-pade sa dāya-bhāk (SB 10.14.8) ..that the devotee sees that whatever comes is Kṛṣṇa's mercy. He's doing it purposefully in order to benedict me more and bring me closer to Him. That was a really nice observation. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #govardhanreadings #sricaitanyacaritamrita #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
