And even if the most perfect of scriptures, those dedicated to promoting devotional service, were to describe it in detail, the effect on ignorant people would be contrary.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 227 manye mahā-preṣṭha-janānuvaśyatā na duḥkha-doṣau vidadhīta kaucana kintu pramodaṁ nija-bhakta-vatsala- tvādīn mahā-kīrti-guṇāṁs tanoti sā TRANSLATION In my opinion, the Lord's coming under the control of His dearmost servants creates no unhappiness or fault of any kind. Rather, it creates great joy and broadcasts such glorious qualities of the Lord as His affectionate concern for His devotees.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Texts 221-222 yathā sakāma-bhaktā hi bhuktvā tat kāmitaṁ phalam kāle bhakti-prabhāveṇa yogyaṁ vindanti tat phalam yathā ca tatra tat-kālaṁ bhakter yogyaṁ na sat phalam sañjātam iti tac chuddha- bhaktimadbhir vinindyate TRANSLATION Devotees who have material desires first enjoy the material results for which they hanker, and later, on the strength of devotional service, they enjoy the true fruit of devotion.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 185 evaṁ bhagavatā tena śrī-kṛṣṇenāvatāriṇāna bhidyante 'vatārās te nityāḥ satyāś ca tādṛśāḥ TRANSLATION The incarnations of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the original Personality of Godhead, are likewise not different from Him, their source. Just as He is eternal and real, so are they.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 148 pūrva-vad bhajanānandaṁ prāpnuvanti navaṁ navam sarvadāpy aparicchinnaṁ vaikuṇṭhe 'tra viśeṣataḥ TRANSLATION The same kind of ecstasy these devotees previously enjoyed in worshiping the Lord they continue to relish here in Vaikuṇṭha. They obtain it as a unique, uninterrupted, unceasing bliss, newer and newer at every moment.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 147 te ca sarve 'tra vaikuṇṭhe śrī-nārāyaṇam īśvaram tat-tad-varṇādi-yuktātma- deva-rūpaṁ vicakṣate TRANSLATION In Vaikuṇṭha each devotee sees the Supreme Lord Śrī Nārāyaṇa in the form of the particular Lord he worships, with suitable complexion and other qualities.

Yet from signs like the paleness of your face you appear depressed, like someone suffering misfortune.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 107 kṛṣṇasya bhakta-vātsalyād yasya kasyāpi karmaṇaḥ saṅkīrtanaṁ mahān eva guṇaḥ śrī-prabhu-toṣaṇaḥ TRANSLATION “Kṛṣṇa is so kind to His devotees that saṅkīrtana of any of His activities is glorious and beneficial, and satisfying to our divine master.”

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 91 yathā-kālaṁ tataḥ sarve niḥsaranto mahā-śriyaḥ ājñayā nirgamānicchuṁ yuktyā māṁ bahir ānayan TRANSLATION When the time came to stop, everyone, on the request of Lakṣmīdevī, started to leave, but I didn't want to go. The devotees had to persuade me to let them escort me outside.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 78 utthāpya tair eva balāc cireṇa saṁjñāṁ praṇīto 'śru-nipāta-vighnam sammārjanenābhibhavan karābhyāṁ netre prayatnād udamīlayaṁ dve TRANSLATION With some effort, those attendants lifted me up, and after some time I regained consciousness. I wiped away with my hands the flood of tears that blocked my sight, and with difficulty I finally opened my eyes.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 79 tāvad dayālu-pravareṇa tena snehena gambhīra-mṛdu-svareṇa svastho bhavāgaccha javena vatsety- ādy ucyamānaṁ śrutavān vaco 'ham TRANSLATION Then I heard the Lord, that best of merciful persons, tell me in a deep, gentle voice, “Please come back to your senses. Dear boy, come here quickly!”

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Texts 62-63 mahā-mahā-citra-vicitra-geha- dvāra-pradeśān atigamya vegāt śrīman-mahalla-pravarasya madhye prāsāda-vargaiḥ pariṣevitāṅghrim prāsādam ekaṁ vividhair mahattā- pūrair viśiṣṭaṁ para-sīma-yātaiḥ prāpto 'ham āditya-sudhāṁśu-koṭi- kāntiṁ mano-locana-vṛtti-coram TRANSLATION I passed rapidly through many districts, wonderfully splendid, with all kinds of houses and gates, and then I entered the most excellent transcendental neighborhood. There I came to one palace at whose feet many others stood in attendance, a palace distinct, overflowing in greatness, where excellence seemed to reach its highest limit. Radiant like millions of suns and moons, it captured my mind and my eyes.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Texts 56-57 itthaṁ harṣa-prakarṣeṇot- tiṣṭhann upaviśan bhṛśam gopure vartamāno 'haṁ tair javenaitya pārṣadaiḥ antaḥ praveśyamāno yad dṛṣṭavān adbhutādbhutam vaktuṁ tad dvi-parārdhena sahasrāsyo 'pi na kṣamaḥ TRANSLATION Thus I thrilled with delight as I waited in the gateway to Vaikuṇṭha. I excitedly stood up and sat down, stood up and sat down, till the associates of the Lord returned, rushing back, and escorted me inside. The amazing things I then saw, more wonderful than wonderful, even the thousand-headed Ananta Śeṣa would be unable to describe, even in a lifetime of Brahmā.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Texts 42-43 tathāpi bhavato brahman prapañcāntar-gatasya hi prapañca-parivārāntar- dṛṣṭi-garbhita-cetasaḥ tad-dṛṣṭāntākulenaiva tat tat syād bodhitaṁ sukham tathety ucyeta yat kiñcit tad āgaḥ kṣamatāṁ hariḥ TRANSLATION Nonetheless, my dear brāhmaṇa, you are a resident of the material world, and your intelligence is confined because you can see only matter. Therefore I say “It is like this” so that by material examples you might understand various things more easily. May Lord Hari forgive this offense.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 28 ke 'py ekaśo dvandvaśo 'nye yugapad bahuśo 'pare pūrva-pūrvādhika-śrīkāḥ praviśanti purīṁ prabhoḥ TRANSLATION Many others came — some alone, others in pairs, and yet others together in larger groups — and all of them, each more splendid than the last, entered the city of the Lord.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 14 tad asvī-kṛtya tu svīyaṁ govardhana-bhuvaṁ vapuḥ teṣāṁ prabhāvatas tādṛg- guṇa-rūpādy alambhayam TRANSLATION But I refused their offer, and instead, by their influence, my own body born in Govardhana assumed qualities and beauty like theirs.

I have noticed that in the Kali Yuga, although the last pillar supposedly is truthfulness, that seems to have been eroding quite quickly. I have noticed, however, that oftentimes people make public statements in a political setting, but then, when they're under deposition, they completely change their story because they know that in deposition under oath, you're liable for telling the truth and can be held accountable for it. Well, those brave souls who are accepting initiation are putting themselves under scrutiny. Freedom requires responsibility. rāga-dveṣa-vimuktais tu viṣayān indriyaiś caran ātma-vaśyair vidheyātmā prasādam adhigacchati Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad Gītā (BG 2.64), "If you want to be free, you have to take responsibility. You have to be vigilant to maintain freedom." Supposedly, one of our statesmen—although it may be apocryphal—said this about maintaining freedom in democracy: It requires vigilance. So today, as you take your vows, you're making a stand against the eons of living in darkness and prevaricating in speech, and taking the path of the saints. mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimuktes tamo-dvāraṁ yoṣitāṁ saṅgi-saṅgam mahāntas te sama-cittāḥ praśāntā vimanyavaḥ suhṛdaḥ sādhavo ye Those who follow the saints, Ṛṣabhadeva (SB 5.5.2) says can enter into the door of liberation by following the footsteps of the great souls. So the chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa is what the great liberated souls do and what they advocate for. And today, when you take vows in front of the devotees, in front of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta, in front of your guru-varga, then you're taking responsibility for your advancement. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

When I sang this song at the very place where Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura had performed his worship of Śrī Śrī Gaura-Gadādhara, the devotees were dancing and spinning, and my very close friend and worldwide-famous kīrtaniyā Havi Prabhu came up to me privately and said, “Vaiś, this is such a somber song by Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura. He's talking about the jīva soul and its sojourn in the material world from a time before anyone can trace—except for Kṛṣṇa. The soul has been in the material world and transmigrates from one body to the next. We know from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, from Kapila-deva to Devahūti, and also Caitanya Mahāprabhu speaking to Śacī-mātā, that the soul within the womb, at a particular time of the development of its material body, becomes aware: "I'm again enclosed in a womb." As Kapila-deva explains to his mother, the soul within the womb who is very fortunate becomes aware of his circumstance begins to pray: "Please, let me stay here, because as soon as I come out of the womb, I'll be captured again by Māyā." In the Eleventh Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the Haṃsa-avatāra of Kṛṣṇa tells the four Kumāras that this is inevitable, because the senses of the living being in the material body are embedded within the sense objects, and the sense objects of the material world are embedded within the mind of every conditioned soul. Therefore, it's inevitable. Then, when the soul comes out of the womb, he is again captured and goes on as if in a dream, thinking, ‘This is my life,' and wanders like this endlessly from one body to the next. How will the soul be extricated from this endless suffering in the material world? So, he told me, ‘You should use another tune to indicate the sobriety of this moment of the soul calling out.' This is a tune that Prabhupāda used to sing beseechingly, as you can tell from his voice, calling out to Kṛṣṇa. And after this morning's class by Saccidānanda Mahārāja, we can remember the importance of the time we have. We all have an āyu (lifespan), only we don't know when it's going to end. We have to take advantage now and remember our time in the womb, promising Kṛṣṇa, "If You get me out of this one, I'll definitely worship You." So now's the time.

As Akrūra in his prayers to Kṛṣṇa on the way to Vṛndāvan said, "We're like logs floating endlessly in the river, but there will be a time that we come to the shore." For those who have met a Vaiṣṇav, Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākur says, "Just as when you see the light on the horizon heralding the sunrise, then you know you're about to see the sun." And for anyone in this world, he says, who has taken sādhu-saṅga—has met a true sādhu, one who has no other interest in life except to serve Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Lord Nityānanda and spread the Saṅkīrtan movement all over the world—then it is absolutely 100% certain that you will see Kṛṣṇa face to face. When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu would leave His domicile and go out into the world, He would always take shelter of Kṛṣṇa on His way, and we can too. Many of us are leaving today, going back to our homes, so let us together sing the song that Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself sang when He went back on the road to go out to save more conditioned souls by spreading the holy name. And that's what we're all going to do when we walk out this door, right? Everybody say "yes!" And when I get to zero, you're going to raise your hands in the air and do the only thing that the soul really wants to do, which is to say "Kṛṣṇa". From the bottom of your heart. Reach up towards Goloka Vṛndāvan and call out to Kṛṣṇa with all your heart, so that the vibration runs through the steel beams of this entire building, out onto the street, and covers not just New Orleans but Louisiana, and starts to migrate down into the other states in the South, and then bounces off the ocean and goes back to the North, and then all the way to California, and then across the ocean into Europe and Russia, all the way to Antarctica, all over China and Asia—3, 2, 1!

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Texts 10-11 tāvat taiḥ pārṣadair etya vaikuṇṭhaṁ netum ātmanaḥ yānam āropitaḥ sadyo vyutthāyācālayaṁ dṛśau sarvam anyādṛśaṁ dṛṣṭvā vismitaḥ svasthatāṁ gataḥ pārśve 'paśyaṁ purā dṛṣṭāṁs tān evātma-priyaṁ-karān TRANSLATION At that moment the associates of the Lord arrived in an airplane to take me to Vaikuṇṭha. They at once put me on that plane and carried me away, and when I opened my eyes I saw that everything was different. Shocked, I returned to full consciousness and saw them beside me, the same benefactors I had met before.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, in a practical way, when the residents of Kulina-grāma asked him about offending devotees, he said, "Offending devotees is poison; the antidote to the poison is to glorify the devotees." So, if you have to do something with your tongue, then just try to find something good to say about them. Somebody says "blah, blah, blah," and you say, "Well, they have nice kids." I've heard that before, and it ruins the whole conversation. Because of envy in the heart, there is a hankering like "Can't we just grind somebody else for a while and pile it on?" But then, when you throw that in, it's an antivirus software and it wrecks the whole thing. The other overarching point is: we should pray to Kṛṣṇa to become completely 100% non-envious, because envy ruins everything in our lives and everybody else's lives. Just meditate on what it would feel like to become 100% non-envious. I asked Nirakula the other day—because I've been asking a lot of people—"What would it feel like to be 100% non-envious?" She said, "Well, we'd be living in the spiritual world. So why not start living there now?" It's not even a religion, you know; you don't have to join a church. In fact, the Bhāgavatam even says it. There's a verse in the Bhāgavatam that I can't find, so I have to ask Śāstra-sāra where it is. It says the main process is to become free from envy. I know it's there in the beginning of the Bhāgavatam, but it's very specifically stated elsewhere. You should meditate on that—how to become completely non-envious. And if you get the opportunity to associate with somebody who is non-envious, it's startling. Because you just notice that they're either non-envious or they're so focused on becoming non-envious that they're reticent about touching topics that will stimulate that sense of envy and nourish it like a little fire that you're pouring ghee into. They have already understood—they're so high-minded—they understand that Kṛṣṇa is aware of everything. We want to please Kṛṣṇa; like Mahārāja's class this morning, the whole premise of that is to be utterly humble and very, very careful in the way we deal with people. Kṛṣṇa deals with everything else in our lives. We don't have to jump in and try to use a monkey wrench to fix everything, because it won't work. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed, nothing is as full of nectar as the holy name of the Lord.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 3 Text 168 vicitra-līlā-rasa-sāgarasya prabhor vicitrāt sphuritāt prasādāt vicitra-saṅkīrtana-mādhurī sā na tu sva-yatnād iti sādhu sidhyet TRANSLATION The wonderfully varied sweetness of saṅkīrtana emerges only by the mercy shown in various wonderful ways by the Lord, the wonderful ocean of the varied rasas of pastimes. This sweetness one can never truly achieve by one's own endeavor.
