It is limitless and supremely great. In contrast, the happiness of Brahman found in liberation never increases, because it is limited.

We finally had some clarity at both ends of the table in J1 Matchday 36, as the title race is down to just two teams, and at the bottom, Yokohama FC's relegation to J2 was confirmed. In Part 1 of this episode, Kyoto correspondent Jamie Meikle guests to help us celebrate Sanga's remarkable season, even though their title hopes ended on Sunday at home against Yokohama F.Marinos. We ask Jamie about Kyoto's 2025 Player of the Year, the future of Manager Cho Kwi Jae, and where the club can strengthen in the offseason (to 28:27). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben round up the wins for Kashima and Kashiwa that left them as the last two teams standing in title contention, and work their way through the rest of the games, before finishing with a check on the national team squad and a look ahead to the Emperor's Cup semi finals.

Lord Brahmā worshiped the Lord with opulent offerings, and in turn the Lord amply gratified him. Lord Mahāpuruṣa was also attentive to Śrī Nārada's displays of loving devotion.

Seeing this, I would relish extreme pleasure.

So now we're going into 'Live to Give' campaign. For those of you who are moping around, feeling sad, 'What happened to Bhadra? It's over already? So fast! What am I going to do now with my life?' We've got Bhagavad-gītās, and now it seems easy, doesn't it? 'Oh, no problem!' So, what we are going for is a baseline of 5 million. A few years ago, when we talked about going for a million, everyone said, 'How would that be possible?' Now we're just creeping up to the 5 million point. Let's take a look at a few slides. This is how it looks. It's not as choppy as the Bhadra graph that we have; we're making a steady climb.Bhagavad-gītā is easy! We can make great strides. 2025, we want to be poised for 2026 to hit the 5 million, or pass it, smash it! So, our goal for this year worldwide is 4.6 million Bhagavad-gītās. So, let's keep that in mind. You can advertise it to all your local people—everybody's invited! Everybody on the planet can distribute multiple cases of Bhagavad-gītā, and people are welcome to give millions of dollars to help this happen. The Christians do it; they do way more in Bible. So, let's get going. We don't have much time for this planet. We have to get into this very enthusiastically. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #bhadrapurnima #bookdistribution #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

Congratulations to everybody! It's the driving force behind our ISKCON organization when we have something worthy to push for and to challenge ourselves. And this is what's happening through Bhadrā; we're rising to new levels. By fully concentrating on distributing books for Kṛṣṇa, one is fully absorbed in Kṛṣṇa. This is Samādhi. It's a very special kind of Samādhi because it takes courage to present Śrīmad Bhāgavatam to others. It also takes one's own fortification through hearing Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and understanding that it's life-changing. I have noted that devotees who come into this kind of Samādhi improve in all areas of their lives. They become better at their sādhanā because they want to be more absorbed; they want to be more effective. They also become more efficient in using their time. Everything good comes from thinking of Kṛṣṇa and thinking of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and how to distribute, It is not different from thinking of Kṛṣṇa, but it's very special in the sense that Prabhupāda advocates throughout the Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and the Bhagavad Gītā that our main means of pleasing Kṛṣṇa is to preach. So this is the ideal way of thinking of Kṛṣṇa and being in Samādhi. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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

It is an offering of the activity of the mind, the most important of all the senses.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Texts 103-105 aśeṣa-sādhanaiḥ sādhyaḥ samastārthādhikādhikaḥ yo vaśī-karaṇe gāḍho- pāyo bhagavato 'dvayaḥ tat-prasādaika-labhyo yas tad-bhaktaika-mahā-nidhiḥ vicitra-paramānanda- mādhurya-bhara-pūritaḥ mahā-nirvācya-māhātmyaḥ padārthaḥ prema-saṁjñakaḥ pariṇāma-viśeṣe hi ceto-vṛtter udeti saḥ TRANSLATION There is one goal of all disciplines, one highest attainment of all, the one potent means to bring the Supreme Lord under one's control. Only by the mercy of the Lord can it be gained. It is the rare, exclusive treasure of His devotees, a treasure rich with every sort of transcendental ecstasy and sweetness. Its wonderful glories are beyond the power to describe. That attainment is called prema. It arises from special transformations of the functions of the mind.

“Shri Hari, who is the Lord of the demigods, who is worshiped by the people of the world, for benefiting the moving and nonmoving beings of the world took that dreadful form through His own energy and tore apart Hiranyakashipu, who caused suffering to so many, with His nails.” (Narasimha Purana, 44.43)

Yet demons like Madhu and Kaiṭabha, even after seeing the Lord in person, did not lose their evil disposition, distressing to all.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 93 tasya kāruṇya-śaktyā vā dṛśyo 'stv api bahir-dṛśoḥ tathāpi darśanānandaḥ sva-yonau jāyate hṛdi TRANSLATION And even if by the power of His mercy He becomes visible to external eyes, the bliss that arises from seeing Him has its natural source in the heart.

And why are you wandering around just to see the Supreme Lord with your eyes?

After Kyoto moved clear on top of J1 with ten rounds left, Jamie Meikle made a very welcome return to the pod to discuss Sanga's 5-0 romp over Okayama on Saturday, and what's gone so right in his side's remarkable campaign to this point (to 32:07). Then Jonny and Ben round up the rest of the top flight results, beginning with Kashiwa's controversy-tinged home win over Fukuoka, and Kobe edging past Yokohama F.Marinos, before we discuss a couple of game-of-the-season contender goal-fests.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 30 Text 28 anayārādhito nūnaṁ bhagavān harir īśvaraḥ yan no vihāya govindaḥ prīto yām anayad rahaḥ TRANSLATION Certainly this particular gopī has perfectly worshiped the all-powerful Personality of Godhead, Govinda, since He was so pleased with Her that He abandoned the rest of us and brought Her to a secluded place.

Out of respect for my guru's order, and because I had seen how effective my mantra was, I kept on chanting.

BT opened his show by recapping the Mets' mixed weekend in Atlanta, acknowledging the team's "house of horrors" but praising their overall performance. He highlighted the promise shown by young players like Mark Vientos and Brett Baty, and the strong start from rookie pitcher Brandon McLean. While frustrated by the bullpen's collapse in the final game that cost them a sweep, BT argued that the Mets still have more to be optimistic about than the Yankees. He stressed that the team's playoff hopes now hinge on the performance of their next two starters, Senga and Manaea, who need to "step up" and stabilize the rotation.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 74 śrī-gopa-kumāra uvāca tato 'kārṣam ahaṁ citte tatrāho kīdṛśaṁ sukham īdṛśāḥ kati vānye syur eṣāṁ pūjyaś ca kīdṛśaḥ TRANSLATION Śrī Gopa-kumāra said: I then wondered, “Indeed, what kind of happiness do they enjoy on Tapoloka? How many more are there like him? And what kind of Lord do they worship?”

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 67 vihāya yajña-karmāṇi bhaktyotthāya maharṣibhiḥ praṇamya dhyāna-niṣṭho 'sau yajñeśvara-vad arcitaḥ TRANSLATION The great sages put aside their sacrificial rituals, stood up with devotion, bowed down to the boy, who was absorbed in meditation, and worshiped him as if he were the Lord of sacrifice Himself.

His form surrounded by brilliant light, he was dressed by the directions only. He appeared to be a five- or six-year-old boy.

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or part of our church family, we all play a role in shaping young lives. Let's be intentional about passing on our faith and raising up world-changers for Christ! 'One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.' - Psalm 145:4

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 67 tatraikadā mahā-tejaḥ- puñja-rūpo dig-ambaraḥ pāñca-ṣābdika-bālābhaḥ ko 'py āgād ūrdhva-lokataḥ TRANSLATION Once, someone arrived from a higher planet.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 61 catur-yuga-sahasrasya tatratyaika-dinasya hi ante trai-lokya-dāhena jana-loko 'dhigamyate TRANSLATION At the end of one thousand cycles of ages — for that place, one day — the conflagration of the three worlds forced us to take refuge on Janaloka.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 60 kintu yajña-samāptau syād duḥkham antarhite prabhau vṛtte yajñāntare cāsya prādurbhāvāt punaḥ sukham TRANSLATION But at the end of each sacrifice, unhappiness would arise when the Lord disappeared; and when the Lord reappeared at the start of another sacrifice, happiness would begin again.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 58 tatas tān anumānyāham anaṅgī-kṛtya vipratām tatrāvasaṁ svato jāta- prājāpatya-mahā-sukhaiḥ TRANSLATION Therefore, while showing respect to the sages, I declined the status of a brāhmaṇa. But I stayed on Maharloka, enjoying the exalted pleasures that automatically appear in the world of the Prajāpatis.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 56 śrī-gopa-kumāra uvāca tac chrutvācintayaṁ brahman vaiśyatve syāt sukhaṁ mahat prabhor eṣāṁ ca viprāṇāṁ tad-bhaktānām upāsanāt TRANSLATION Śrī Gopa-kumāra said: Hearing this, O brāhmaṇa, I thought I would be much happier staying a vaiśya, for then I could keep worshiping both the Supreme Lord and those brāhmaṇas, His devotees.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 51 apūrva-labdham ānandaṁ paramaṁ prāpnuvaṁs tataḥ kāruṇyātiśayāt tasya saṁsiddhāśeṣa-vāñchitaḥ TRANSLATION By that Lord's abundant mercy, I attained an exceptional bliss I had never known before, and all my desires were fulfilled.

So, wherever you go wearing neck beads, you're sure to find someone in a remote area who unexpectedly says, 'Haribol!' And that's a good thing, because it will remind you that, 'Yes, I'm on a mission here, and I'm representing the Śrī Guru Parmparā. It's a point of high distinction, although we take it very humbly that we're able to display ourselves as Vaiṣṇavas, as the first stage of initiation. It's a process, not an event.' That's tapa, which means you turn away from the material world, realizing that this is not the purpose of my life—to try to settle here or to enjoy—but to serve.
