“The greatest value of this kind of talk is that you have the right to choose that kind of company and be uplifted.” In today's episode of Good Company on a Curious Yogi, Hirdaya and I explore the significance of good company in spiritual growth, emphasizing the importance of Shravan (hearing), Manan (reflection), and Nidhidhyasan (application) in deepening one's practice. We discuss the challenges of modern life, the power of pause, and the necessity of authentic conversations for inner transformation. The dialogue highlights the need to choose uplifting thoughts and ultimately, Hirdaya reminds us of our true nature and the essence of sadhana as a journey of remembering and resting in beingness. Takeaways from this enlightening conversation: ➖ Good company is essential for spiritual growth.➖ The practice of Shravan, Manan, and Nidhi Dhyasan is vital.➖ Choosing uplifting thoughts can transform your experience.➖ Authentic conversations lead to inner transformation.➖ The mind often forgets our true nature.➖ Pausing in moments of discomfort is powerful.➖ Sadhana is about remembering who you truly are.➖ Inner work is the real advanced practice.Find Hirdaya at: hirdayameditation.com I hope you take as much inspiration and delight from this satsang company as I did. Stay tuned for more episodes like this! In Oneness, Bobbi Thanks for listening!

 Prem KV has been a seeker since childhood. After studying agriculture in India, he worked as a plant scientist in Melbourne. Drawn back to his roots, he embraced the life of a Brahmachari, or monk, in Sadhguru's ashram for 15 years, exploring the inner dimensions of life. Since then, he has dedicated himself to sharing the essence of Indian culture.He has been traveling across the country, visiting and filming powerful temples and sacred spaces for the last six years. His YouTube videos, garnering over 4 million views, have showcased powerful temples and sacred spaces across the country. Notable works include the Sadhguru ShriBrahma series, which explores the life of a great yogi from a century ago, and the Himalayan series offering Rare Insights into Uttarakhand's revered Temples.Prem's work inspires individuals to reconnect with their roots and contribute to preserving India's rich culture and spiritual heritage. In today's episode, we journey into the realm of sacred architecture, embodied temples, and the role of Sadhana and modern life. Ancient temples in India weren't just places of worship. They were spiritual technologies designed with precision, purpose, and chronic intelligence. Built at energy vortexes aligned with celestial rhythms and vibrating with mantras and sacred geometry. These temples were constructed not just to honor the divine, but to transform the human. But what happens when we no longer live near ancient temples? What happens when we live in cities of noise, speed, and distraction? Today's conversation invites us to remember that the temple is not lost. It simply waits to be awakened within us. We'll explore how the body itself is a sacred temple, how to design meaningful temple spaces at home, and how daily sadana our devotional practice can serve as an offering that aligns us with our inner Sri Brahma, the still point of divine intelligence at the core of all things.Whether you're a seeker, a householder, or someone simply yearning to reconnect with the sacred in a modern world, this episode will guide you back to the inner sanctum through sound, breath, ritual, and remembrance that temples are not merely relics of the past. They are living technologies meant to awaken the temple within each of us.Send us a textFor 20% off Kerala Ayurveda products, use code OjasOasis at checkoutFor 20% off GarryNSun products, use code OJASOASIS20 at checkout Book a 1:1 with Sasha at https://www.ojasoasis.com/book For 50% off your initial intake consultation, mention you're a subscriber of the podcast.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, which operates a Global Delivery Centre in Ireland, has been featured in a report that advocates for and puts emphasis on marketing as a function to lead the charge on achieving sustainability goals. 'CMO Blueprint for Sustainable Growth' interviewed Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) across sectors and identified 10 case studies that demonstrate the various ways in which brand custodians have furthered the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals of companies. The study spotlights ReScore, a cloud-based app that helps sporting event organisers measure and reduce their impact on the environment year on year. Commissioned by the Council for Responsible Sport, ReScore was developed by TCS as part of its broader commitment to advancing sustainable practices and climate-conscious innovation as part of the company's CSR initiative 'Sadhana SamarpaN'. Sadhana's vision of 'Only One Liveable Pl'A'net - with No Plan B: Live Sustainably, Leave No One Behind' calls for both individual and collective action across the eight Sustainable Development Goals. ReScore is among the ten interventions by large corporates in driving the adoption of responsible practices in terms of climate change and undertaking green initiatives. The report draws attention to the efforts of the TCS team in building the framework for ReScore, collaborating with cross-functional internal and external stakeholders and championing the integration of the app in other partner events and the wider sports ecosystem. The study says that TCS demonstrates how responsible marketing, and technology can drive meaningful and measurable change. Abhinav Kumar, Chief Marketing Officer, Tata Consultancy Services, said, "We are immensely proud to be featured in this report that highlights the pivotal role of marketing, communications, media, brand strategy, and innovation in achieving sustainable growth. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to driving positive change through innovative solutions like ReScore. It is true that CMOs are uniquely positioned in helping drive societal change. Marketing leaders can change perceptions, reshape behaviour and prioritise creating long-term value for the community without losing focus on business goals. At TCS, we believe that marketing is a powerful force for good, and we are dedicated to continuing our journey towards a more sustainable future." The report reveals that while 91 per cent of CEOs believe their role includes protecting the communities in which they operate, and 70 per cent see it as their responsibility to speak out on pressing societal issues, they are stretched thin and need their executive teams - especially their CMOs - to meet these rising expectations. This calls for the marketing function to move from intention to action - from storytelling to 'storydoing'. The company, which supports 14 major running events globally, believes that sponsorships are not just about visibility - they are an opportunity to support and become responsible members of these local communities. Developing ReScore is part of TCS' commitment to bringing rigorous measurement and accountability to this multi-billion-dollar sector. Anupam Singhal, President - Manufacturing, TCS, said, "The ReScore app being featured in the UN Global Compact's CMO Blueprint for Sustainable Growth is a meaningful recognition of our commitment to sustainability through purposeful innovation. ReScore represents more than just a digital solution - it reflects TCS's belief in marketing and technology as forces for societal good. It is our way of contributing to more accountable, transparent, and future-ready communities, in the true spirit of Sadhana SamarpaN (dedication and devotion)." Highlighting the role ReScore has had on sporting events holding themselves to higher sustainability standards, the study noted that in just two years, ReScore helped 53 events and org...

I'm going to relay to you the advice given in the Bhagavad Gītā in the next slide. It may sound commonplace, but one of the main ways to deal with the modalities is to tolerate them because they come and go. If you don't like the mode that you're being assailed by at a particular moment, then if you persevere and you keep going—of course, that would require a little bit of sattva—the modes will eventually change. Tolerate means to be capable of continued subjugation to an environmental condition without averse reaction. So, a person who anticipates the modes, knows what they look like when they come, and is able to recognize that this will pass, doesn't overreact to them. It's not an adverse reaction; adverse reactions entangle one more. But if you're able to tolerate it and let it pass like a storm.. When a storm comes, or when there's a particular geopolitical event that's happening, we can become so absorbed in it that our whole body and mind become affected. Or we can learn to tolerate because it's going to move on. That's why the mantra, 'This too will pass,' is very helpful. In fact, at the very beginning of this show, when we started on Zoom, it was the beginning point of the pandemic. And we talked a lot about this mantra, 'This too shall pass.' That's how the material world works; things come and go constantly. The thing that doesn't come and go is us, because we're the constant; we're the consciousness observing the things coming and going. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Remember, Valmiki, one of the tricks of the mind is to say, "I'm too fallen. I can't chant." So Valmiki said that, "I can't chant. I'm too fallen. I might as well just wallow in Maya." And Nārada Muni invented a way. "Okay, you chant 'death, Mara, Mara, Mara, Mara,' and just keep chanting." And the śāstra says: "Nāmcparādha-yuktānāṁ nāmāny eva haranty agham aviśrānti-prayuktāni tāny evārtha-karāṇi ca." You're too fallen? You have too many offenses? Keep chanting. Don't stop. Just keep, keep doing it, no matter what. Find the spaces to do it. Keep doing it, even though your mind says, "You know this, it won't work for you, it works for everybody else," but you keep going. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #makejapagreatagain #mantrameditation #chantharekrishnaandbehappy #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

From the Bhagavad Gītā again on the chapter that describes the modalities, Kṛṣṇa says the following: "When the embodied beings transcend these three modes associated with the material body, they become free from birth, death, old age, and their distresses, and enjoy nectar even in this life." So, it's not inconsequential to rise above the three modes of material nature. When we are still conditioned by the modes of material nature, it's as if we are in a prison. We can look out, we can see the free light outside and see what it looks like, but that doesn't mean we can go out there. We still have to stay in the prison. And when we're in this body, we may get theoretical knowledge of the self. We may even have a vision of "I'm not my body." But as long as we're conditioned by the modes of material nature, we're still restricted by the habits dictated to us by the modes of material nature, and just like bars, we can't get free from them, unless we do. And that brings us to the last slide, advice for those in the modes. One of the most prevalent descriptions of a way to not just detach, but a symptom of one who's risen above the modes, and also one of the ways in which one does rise above the modes of material nature, is to remain neutral in ups and downs. In other words, don't become more entangled in them by reacting to the modes. You can become indifferent to the modes and aware of the fact that you are not part of them. They're just a part of the material world from which you are separate, and you practice being neutral in happiness, distress, loss or gain, victory or defeat, doesn't mean not to do your due diligence; you have to do that. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #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

Colette explores how summer, a season of heat, light, and intensity can support sadhana, your conscious spiritual practice. Sadhana refers to any intentional, disciplined effort we make to align with our higher Self, whether that's through meditation, mantra, prayer, mindful movement, self-inquiry, or acts of devotion. She explains how we can harness our inner fire (tapas) and creative light (tejas) to align more deeply with purpose. It's an opportunity to live in alignment with our unique path (dharma). Colette covers the following: Avoiding summer stress and burnout. Understanding tapas - the sacred inner fire. Summer as a season for sadhana. Tejas - the light of creative insight.

"Start with ‘I am free'. Then you can still work on yourself as you need to."Today, I'm happy to be sharing this delightful conversation with one of my favourite people, my dear friend Zach, a lifelong practitioner of sadhana who grew up in the Indian Himalayas at a meditation institute, in the company of an enlightened Guru. I waited a while to finally get Zach onto the show, as he is a true yogi, but one who spends his time privately. In this episode, we explore the profound journey of self-discovery and sadhana with insights from Zach's lifetime in the Himalayas.Here's what we discuss:➖ The impact of growing up in a spiritual community➖ The challenges and choices in a life dedicated to sadhana➖ Insights from Swamiji's teachings on freedom and self-realization ➖The balance between worldly duties and spiritual practiceI really loved hearing Zach's reflections on the value of continuously choosing to live in truth and the importance of surrounding oneself with good company. You know, living our sadhana? I promise you'll enjoy Zach as much I do, and also take some points to get curious about when delving into the essence of living a life of freedom and authenticity.In oneness, BobbiThanks for listening!

In some ways, we give names to consciousness as a unit of consciousness, like Ātmā means "a spark of consciousness." It's eternal, it's non-reducible, it's always there, it always exists, and it always will exist. And it's flame-like in that it illuminates. For instance, right now we're sitting here, and all our bodies are illuminated by that flame. You can feel your feet; you can feel your hands, and that's because you're conscious. Consciousness is like a flame, but we forget about it. One of the ways we forget about it is we come into what's called the bodily concept of life, and I start thinking, "I am my body." So the forgotten flame is that we've forgotten who we are, which is part of that. And then, under the pull of nature's modes, lies your purest self waiting to be remembered. This is a simple explanation of what spiritual practice is: it's an awakening to what we already are. You don't have to become something else; you don't have to change who you are. You just have to remember who you actually are. And it's in diverting our attention to a false sense of self we call ahaṅkāra, which means "a false ego." There is a real ego; that's the real thing, who we are. But the false ego means I misidentify myself with the body, and when I do that, I suffer. And what's that suffering feels like? It feels kind of like a forest fire, like being in the middle of a forest fire; things are burning. So that's the other forgotten flame: we forget we're in the middle of a forest fire. And if you are planning a picnic, let's say, in the middle of a forest fire, it's going to be interrupted one way or the other. There's an ancient text written by a really powerful sage, scholar, a saintly commentator on the ancient Vedas named Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura. And he wrote this song in Sanskrit that starts: 'saṁsāra-dāvānala-līḍha-loka- trāṇāya kāruṇya-ghanāghanatvam prāptasya kalyāṇa-guṇārṇavasya, vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam.' In this first stanza of his poem, he says it's from Sanskrit that actually the world is burning. Our bodies are burning; they're 98.6 degrees—that's hot—and they eventually burn out. And the world is sort of like a forest fire. Whatever we are used to now, whatever paradigm we think is our paradigm, somehow or other, it will be burned. So he says we're in this forest fire. We can't soothe that burning sensation from the massive fire that we're in the middle of with a few buckets of water. You need a rainstorm; you need a heavy rainstorm, and that would quell the intense heat and the flames of destruction. So this is one of the ideas of spiritual practice also: that we invoke a rainstorm of what's called kāruṇya, a kind of soothing of this burning sensation from the material world. And it's altogether possible because we're not actually burning; we're burning because of our false identification with the world. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #successsadhana #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant

Which is the path to perfection Kripa Siddhi or Sadhana Siddhi, in the Gaudiya tradition by Exploring mindfulness, yoga and spirituality

The general theme of all these literatures is that anyone can rise in due course of time. And if you do it step by step, first by getting knowledge and then having practice, these are the two things you have to have. First, you have to have knowledge; then, you have to practice. Ignorance doesn't help. Ignorance could also mean "ignore- ance." This is the story of a famous musician. His name was Warren Zevon, and from the time he was a child, he was always afraid that he might die of cancer. He did die of cancer, but the fear caused him to ignore any symptoms he had when he was an adult. Because he was so afraid of going to the doctor and hearing that he had cancer, he didn't go. And he missed the timeframe when it was at stage one and two, when he could've cured it. But he let it go, and then it was too late. So, yeah, it's a little scary to hear the "C word." But if you're proactive, and you go in early and say, "Yeah, I understand I have some of these symptoms. So what can I do about it? How can I start now?" Little bit at a time one can catch it in the beginning and make progress.

The episode weaves together reflections on states of consciousness, metaphysics, emotional transformation, and the pitfalls of spiritual bypassing, drawing deeply from Indian philosophical and Tantric traditions.Jacob begins by exploring the concept of Turiya, the “fourth state” of consciousness beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep, and its Tantric extension in Turiyatita—a state where meditative awareness permeates ordinary perception. He connects these insights to śānta-rasa, the rasa of peace or equanimity, positioning it as the rasa that can suffuse all other experiences when integrated through practice. The episode offers a critique of materialist metaphysics, highlighting how modern scientism struggles to account for consciousness. Jacob contrasts this with Indian philosophical frameworks—including dualism, monism, and non-dualism—that offer richer ontologies for understanding consciousness and its relation to the world.Finally, the episode delves into spiritual bypassing: the tendency to use spiritual ideals to avoid emotional challenges. Jacob presents rasa theory as an antidote, showing how emotions—whether grief, fear, anger, or joy—are not obstacles but sacred expressions of consciousness. Through aesthetic contemplation (bhāvanā), these emotions can be transmuted into rasa, universalized flavors of awareness that guide the practitioner toward deeper Self-realization and the peace of śānta-rasa.

There's a fairy tale called "The Princess and the Pea." The princess, the true princess, was born into a kingly family and then somehow or other was estranged from her family. There was a mix-up, and when the royal family came to know of it, they wanted to reclaim their daughter, the princess. So they put out a royal edict that anyone could come to their home, because they were in search of the real princess. Thousands signed up for it, and there was a lineup, because everyone thought, "Well, maybe they'll just claim me." And they had a device to determine who was the princess. Does anybody remember what it was? It's in the title: the pea. So, for the sake of this story, it was a garbanzo bean, or a chickpea, that was dried up. If you've ever seen those, if you step on one, you'll know it's like a little stone. So what they did is they put the pea on the floor, and then they put seven mattresses on it, and made the bed for the visiting candidates for princess-hood. They would give a royal feast and then invite the candidate, "Here, here's your room, royal bedstead. Please go to sleep, enjoy yourself." And in the morning, they would interview, "How did you rest last night?" All the candidates, one after another, would say, "Oh, the best sleep I ever had! Thank you very much for your hospitality." And they'd say, "Next." And finally, after hundreds and hundreds, they came to one, and the royal feast, invited her to her room, "Please have a nice rest tonight." And in the morning, the person said, "I couldn't get any rest at all!" And they said, "Why not?" "There was something hard underneath." And they said, "Aha! Here's the princess!" The idea is, her body was so delicate as a princess that she couldn't tolerate even the protrusion of one little pea underneath seven mattresses. That's the idea. In a similar way, no matter what kind of situation we arrange for ourselves in this world, as conscious beings who are used to subtlety, aesthetic beauty that's beyond anything we can see in this world—because this world is a reflection of the spiritual world—we just can't get comfortable. You can never get comfortable in any body, and no matter how much money you have, no matter how fit you feel, still there's a pea under those seven mattresses. And you go, "Ugh, it's not right!" So, this spiritual practice is something that brings us back to a real comfort. When we know who we really are and we don't have to struggle with a false identity and keep up appearances, then we feel naturally enlivened in life and happy, not the least of which is because we don't die. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

This week on A Really Good Cry, I’m sharing what I learned from spending time with Radhanath Swami—a monk, teacher, and someone whose presence teaches more than words ever could. I first met Radhanath Swami over a decade ago, and in that time, simply observing how he lives—how he speaks, how he treats others, and how he holds presence in every moment—has quietly answered so many of the questions I’ve wrestled with on my spiritual path. This episode is about alignment—how our daily actions reflect our values, and how small, consistent practices shape our sense of purpose. We’ll explore what integrity really looks like in daily life, how rituals help create emotional stability, and why love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a choice we make again and again. Whether you’re deep in your own journey or just beginning to ask the bigger questions, I truly believe these reflections will offer something meaningful to your heart, too. What We Discuss: 00:00 Introduction 01:24 Who is Radhanath Swami? 04:27 The moment I first heard the meaning of true integrity 05:31 Why embodiment inspires more than advice ever could 06:19 The truth about religion 09:58 What is Sadhana? 11:27 Prayer is not a routine 12:17 Being conscious of God’s presence all the time 14:56 Why we all need role models in life 17:52 The power of silence and soul-to-soul connection 20:32 How can to be a vessel of grace and compassion Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukiaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If somebody unjustly takes your property, rendering selfless service doesn't mean, 'Oh, yeah, let everyone violate me, and I'll just sit by passively.' That's not what it means. That's why I say it's not mutually exclusive. One must do one's duty dutifully. If you're in the corporate environment, however, I know for sure that there's a sense even from the top of the big corporations—that's why they invite people like us to come there and speak all the time. I'm going there on Tuesday to give a presentation, and there's an open invitation from so many of these corporations to come and hear wisdom that talks about higher values, like gratitude, like selflessness, Because what corporations have come to realize is that people cannot survive just by the rough and tumble of competition—that 'let us compete, and then the best person wins,' and then there's a kind of social Darwinism. People come fatigued by that, and they also don't do as well. The research, social research, is showing that people who have high-minded values can be more productive. If you do your due diligence, and you also have this sense of selflessness, like some of the corporations do, like even Marc Benioff has this way of giving away a lot of what he earns from the corporation. How's that working out? Fine. And what about other corporations like Tata? They give away, just by their bylaws, half of what they earn. I know a person very well who's a very successful entrepreneur. Lives in Singapore, but he commutes to Silicon Valley. He gives seminars on this, and the last one I attended just to observe, he was advocating for this idea that when you work for service, not only do you feel more satisfied, but he actually produced evidence, statistical evidence, that people do better financially, which is counterintuitive. And it also goes to the idea of, even within the realm of fundraising, people who give tend to be able to give more because they realize more capacity. By giving you do grow, and you can prove it on paper. And it's not just an amorphous idea, a sentimental idea, or something like that. So that's not mutually exclusive. You can protect your interests, which you should do, because you have to be able to work and earn a living, and you should do the best you can. And if there's some sense of somebody violating your space, you have to protect yourself. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

In this enriching episode, Swiss sitarist and cultural traveler Hans Wettstein shares the story of his decades-long connection with India. Drawn by the sounds of the sitar, Hans immersed himself in Indian classical music as his Sadhana, navigating the challenges of learning a new musical language and cultural differences. Beyond music, Hans recounts his journey into cultural tourism. Hans's belief in the transformative power of travel led him to design immersive tours to offer visitors a more meaningful experience of India far beyond the surface-level impressions. He shares the impact of these tours, misconceptions about India that travelers often carry, and the evolving nature of Indian tourism.With vivid personal stories and thoughtful reflections, this episode is a unique window into music, spirituality, and cross-cultural exploration.Key Topics:Indian Music As A SadhanaTravelling Across IndiaMisconceptions of Travelling In IndiaAyurveda, Panchakarma & TravelTimestamps:00:00 - 05:30: Hans' Introduction05:30 - 09:30: Pursuing Music as a Sadhana 09:30 - 12:30: Studying Indian Music In India : 12:30 - 29:30: Travelling Across India29:30 - 39:00: Ayurveda, Panchakarma & Travel39:00 - 42:19: Sitaram Experience & Concluding NotesAbout Mr. Hans Ulrich Wettstein Hans Ulrich Wettstein is a renowned sitar player with a deep love for Indian culture, Ayurveda, and mindful travel.

That's why we're always so confounded, because we're always trying to create a self. What is my relationship now, when I go to kindergarten with all these other kids that I never met before? What about in fifth grade? How do I adapt? Should I wear jeans or corduroys, or should I wear shorts? Who should I be like? Which identity should I take on now? And throughout our lives, trying to create a persona based on the material body and mind is extremely troublesome, and what to speak of the fact that it's untenable. You can't hold it. Whatever identity you have now will be diminished. It will change. It will be lost completely at a certain point. So, this is one of the tenets of the teachings of Jung—Jung and the Bhagavad-gītā. And finally, we have this statement: modern psychology and ancient wisdom both address this with beautiful parallels and profound differences. So, let's go into a few more of them. The problem: losing the self. This is a problem. We've lost ourselves. In the ancient Upaniṣads, this is called ātma-hā—death of the self. There is no death of the self, but we conceive that ourself has died, and we lose sense of our real self. And when we do that, we get into this trap. So, Jung says we get trapped in personas—masks. He calls them living for society's expectations. This is a sociological fact. Everyone is working very hard to put on the right mask in order to fit in. It's one of the deep needs of the human psyche: I have to fit in with everybody else. Therefore, I'll wear the appropriate mask at the appropriate time, whether it's in relationship to the family or to the greater society. One has to play a certain role and assume a certain sort of mask. He also says, "The unconscious gets repressed, leading to alienation and neurosis." I'll read that again. Maybe it resonates: "The unconscious gets repressed, leading to alienation and neurosis." And here's some from the Bhagavad-gītā. I'll give some summary comparison between what Jung said and what Bhagavad-gītā Kṛṣṇa says. In Bhagavad-gītā, the soul (ātmā) identifies with the temporary body and mind. This phenomenon is called māyā, which means it's a mistake, and it forgets its eternal divine nature. If you remember your eternal divine nature and you're aware of it, you don't have a problem. The problem comes when you forget it. Next, this leads to suffering and endless rebirth—this is called saṁsāra. One thing leads to another. The world is accommodating our desires, and our misguided sense of self leads us to misguided desires, which are then accommodated by this material nature, which is very mechanical, and we end up moving from one temporary situation to another. And in each one of them, we're striving for something that cannot be achieved. We cannot find permanence in a temporary world. That's our problem. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

In this unique talk from 1970, Ram Dass explores the confluence of dualism and nondualism, how the One and the many exist simultaneously, and why all of life is about tuning up.This episode of Here and Now is the first half of a talk Ram Dass gave at the Arlington Street Church in Boston on March 24, 1970. In this talk:Ram Dass begins by talking about why all of life is about tuning up. “We're tuning out of dualism into nondualism,” he says. “Tuning into being here and now.”Guided by wisdom from the likes of John the Baptist and Lao Tzu, Ram Dass digs deeper into his exploration of how dualism and nondualism come together. The One and the many can exist simultaneously.Ram Dass talks about Shiva's dance, the mind-trip of holiness, and taking a night off from his Sadhana to go bowling. He ends with a classic story about not being able to keep his consciousness at the right level during a Q&A session.The Ram Dass community gathers regularly to engage in meaningful discussions about the podcast.
