Revival is a transformative move of God, marked by a distinct spiritual awakening led by the Holy Spirit. It calls believers to rely on the Spirit rather than just natural abilities, reprioritize spiritual disciplines, and reignite their passion for God's purposes. True revival fosters extravagant generosity, a renewed heart for the lost, and a refusal to grow complacent in faith. Just as the early Church experienced a powerful outpouring on Pentecost, revival today brings freedom, unity, and a fresh season of spiritual renewal for those who surrender fully to God's presence.

In today's sanga, Śrīla Dhanurdhara Swami shares his realizations from his recent studies.

I was thinking about how today, in the world because people don't know this. This means they don't know that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Everything emanates from Him. They try to solve the problems of life through their own devices. They make adjustments—politically, economically, physically, socially—and all of them create more complications. That is, when we try to solve our problems through our own intellects, we always create more problems. This is something Prahlād Mahārāj mentions in his prayers to Lord Nṛsiṁhadev, that the so-called remedies of this world are often times worse than the disease itself. And so, while I was reading the Puruṣa Sūkta, I was thinking how the ultimate solution to life always traces back to what Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā: "man-manā bhava mad-bhakto (18.65) – Just remember Me." In the Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Kavirāja Gosvāmī mentions that if you remember Lord Caitanya, then difficult things become easy. And if you forget Him, then what should become simple becomes very complicated (CC Adi 14.1).Near the end of the Puruṣa Sūkta, it is mentioned in a benedictory verse that anyone who becomes aware of The Supreme Puruṣa, who is the source of this manifested world, becomes liberated. It's something that Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā also, everything's there in the Gītā, right?
