Barbara debunks common myths around audits, loans, business valuations, and “not making enough to need strategy.” She explains why proactive tax planning (not reactive tax filing) is the real key to building wealth and creating freedom.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 33 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the beautiful beginning of Shree Krishna's Vrindavan leelas after the residents of Gokul shifted to Vrindavan due to the repeated attacks of demons. In this sacred land, Krishna began displaying even sweeter pastimes, especially revealing the bliss of sakhya bhav — loving friendship with His devotees.  At four and a half years of age, Krishna started grazing calves with His dear friends like Shridama, Sudama, Madhumangal, and others. These were no ordinary children but exalted souls who had earned the opportunity to participate in God's divine play. In their innocence, they did not see Krishna as the Supreme Lord — they saw Him as their beloved friend. They shared food, joked with Him, even scolded Him, and sometimes made Him act as a “horse” in their games.  Swamiji explains the astonishing sweetness of this leela: the same God who is worshiped in temples and praised in Vedic hymns happily accepts half-eaten food from His friends and joyfully carries them on His back. Krishna was not hungry for food — He was hungry for love. In Vrindavan, both God and devotee forget formal reverence and drown in pure affection.  This leela teaches us that divine love surpasses awe and ritual. While we must follow proper reverence in our stage of devotion, we can gradually cultivate the inner sentiment that God is our closest friend. Through sincere bhakti, one day we too may experience the sweetness of such intimate love with the Lord.    About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 49 | Swami Mukundananda  In this grand conclusion of the Srimad Bhagavatam, Swamiji shares Shree Krishna's ultimate message through the final narration of Shukadev to King Parikshit and the profound story of Markandeya Rishi. As Parikshit calmly enters samadhi and transcends death, the Bhagavatam reminds us that the soul is eternal and untouched by the destruction of the body.  Markandeya Rishi's vision of Maha Pralaya reveals the mysterious power of God's Maya. In the midst of cosmic dissolution, he beholds Bal Mukund Shree Krishna peacefully resting on a banyan leaf — demonstrating that while universes arise and dissolve, the Supreme Lord alone remains eternal. What we consider permanent is temporary; what we chase as happiness is often illusion. True security lies only in devotion to God.  Swamiji concludes with prayers of gratitude to Guru, Param Guru, and Bhagavan, emphasizing the transformative power of chanting the Lord's holy names. The Srimad Bhagavatam comes to its glorious close with a timeless assurance: by remembering Shree Krishna with faith and love, the soul transcends Maya and attains eternal bliss.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 48 | Swami Mukundananda  In this concluding episode, Swamiji narrates the final earthly pastimes of Shree Krishna and the profound message embedded in the end of His avatar. After meeting the Vrajwasis at Kurukshetra and completing His divine mission, Krishna prepared for His departure. The curse upon the Yadu dynasty unfolded, leading to their destruction — a divine arrangement made by Krishna Himself before leaving the world.  Before withdrawing His pastimes, Krishna imparted the sacred wisdom of the Uddhav Gita, teaching detachment, surrender to the Guru, and the supremacy of bhakti. He reminded us that whatever the mind repeatedly contemplates, it becomes attached to — therefore, it must be fixed upon God. His final instructions emphasize devotion as the highest path in the age of Kaliyuga.  Krishna's departure was not an end but a divine transition. Dwarka was submerged, Kaliyuga began, and yet His eternal message remains. Swamiji explains that while the Lord's visible form may withdraw, His presence lives forever in the hearts of devotees. The avatar concluded, but the path of bhakti continues to guide souls toward eternal truth and bliss.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 47 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the deeply moving story of Sudama, Shree Krishna's childhood friend, whose pure and selfless devotion brought the Supreme Lord to tears. Sudama, a poor Brahmin living in great hardship, journeyed to Dwarka at his wife's request, carrying only a small bundle of flattened rice as a humble offering for his beloved friend.  The moment Krishna heard Sudama's name, He ran to receive him with overflowing love. The Lord of Dwarka personally embraced Sudama, washed his cracked and weary feet, and wept seeing his condition. This divine leela reveals that Krishna is not attracted by wealth, power, or status — He is moved only by the sincerity of the heart. Sudama's gift was simple, but his devotion was immeasurable.  Though Sudama never asked for anything, Krishna silently blessed him beyond imagination, transforming his hut into a palace. Swamiji explains that true bhakti seeks nothing in return — yet receives everything. This episode inspires us to cultivate love that is pure, humble, and free from demand — the kind of love that melts even the heart of God.    About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 41 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the enchanting Mathura Leelas of Shree Krishna after His departure from Vrindavan. These pastimes reveal the miraculous ways in which the Lord transforms lives and demonstrates His supreme divinity.  One such leela is Krishna's encounter with Kubja, the hunchbacked maidservant of Kamsa. With a gentle touch, Krishna straightened her body and blessed her with beauty and grace. This miracle shows that God looks not at external form but at the devotion within the soul, and with His grace, He can uplift anyone instantly.  Swamiji emphasizes that Krishna's Mathura Leelas are not mere stories of wonder but profound spiritual lessons. They teach that when we surrender to God, He removes our inner deformities — pride, selfishness, and ignorance — and fills our hearts with divine love.  These miracles inspire faith that the Lord is always present, ready to transform our lives. Just as He uplifted Kubja and liberated Mathura from tyranny, He uplifts devotees who turn to Him with sincerity and devotion.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 39 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji beautifully explains the Gopi Geet, the heartfelt song sung by the gopis when Krishna disappeared during the Raas Leela. Overwhelmed with longing, the gopis poured out their souls in verses that revealed the depth of their devotion. Their words were not demands for worldly gain or liberation, but pure expressions of love, yearning only for Krishna's presence.  The Gopi Geet demonstrates the pinnacle of bhakti: selfless, unconditional love for God. The gopis did not seek wealth, recognition, or even freedom from suffering. Their only desire was to serve and behold Krishna. This intensity of devotion shows that true bhakti is not about rituals or intellectual knowledge, but about surrendering the heart completely to the Lord.  Swamiji highlights that the gopis' love was so pure that it melted even the Supreme Lord. Krishna, though infinite, was bound by their devotion and returned to them, affirming that God cannot resist the call of selfless love.  This leela teaches that when devotion is free from selfish motives, it becomes irresistible to God. The Gopi Geet is not just poetry — it is the soul's cry for union with the Divine, and it remains one of the most moving expressions of love in the entire Bhagavatam.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 38 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the divine Raas Leela that began on the sacred night of Sharad Purnima, when Shree Krishna played His enchanting flute and called the gopis of Braj. Leaving everything behind, they ran to Him in complete surrender, their hearts absorbed only in Krishna.  Before beginning the Raas, Krishna tested them. He reminded them of their worldly duties and asked them to return home. But the gopis responded with profound wisdom — declaring that He is the Soul of all souls, and by serving Him, all duties are fulfilled. Pleased with their unwavering love, Krishna began the Maharas through His divine Yogmaya power.  Yet when subtle pride entered their hearts — the feeling “God is dancing with me” — Krishna disappeared, teaching a powerful lesson: in the path of divine love, ego and God cannot coexist.  Swamiji highlights two key lessons from this leela:  God tests His devotees to elevate their love to a higher level. • True devotion is egoless, selfless, and centered only on God. The Raas Leela reveals that prem bhakti — pure, unconditional love — is the highest spiritual attainment.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 34 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the astonishing Brahma Vimohan Leela. After Krishna saved His friends from the Aghasur demon — who had disguised himself as a giant python — the creator Brahma himself became bewildered. Seeing Krishna eating the half-eaten food of His cowherd friends, Brahma doubted how the Supreme Lord could behave so intimately.  To test Him, Brahma hid all the cowherd boys and calves. In response, Krishna expanded Himself into identical forms of every child and calf for an entire year. During this time, the mothers and cows experienced an extraordinary increase in love — because it was Krishna Himself they were embracing.  When Brahma returned and realized his mistake, he witnessed Krishna revealing countless divine forms. Overwhelmed, Brahma offered heartfelt prayers, acknowledging the supremacy of Krishna and glorifying the unparalleled devotion of the cowherd boys.  This leela reveals that even the highest cosmic intellect cannot comprehend God through knowledge alone — only love grants true understanding.    About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 37 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the profound Govardhan Leela, where the residents of Braj prepared to worship Indra, the king of heaven, for rainfall. Krishna lovingly intervened, teaching them that true worship must be directed only to the Supreme Lord, not to His servants. He inspired the villagers to instead worship Govardhan Hill, which symbolized God Himself.  Angered by this, Indra unleashed torrential rains to punish the people of Braj. Krishna, only seven years old, effortlessly lifted Govardhan Hill on His little finger, providing shelter to all the villagers and cows. This divine act revealed that the Lord alone is the ultimate protector and that no celestial being can match His power or grace.  Swamiji emphasizes that the lesson of Govardhan Leela is timeless: devotion must be offered to God alone, not to demigods or intermediaries. While divine servants have their roles, they are not the objects of worship. Krishna's act of lifting Govardhan Hill demonstrates His supremacy and His loving protection of devotees who surrender to Him.  This leela also shows the sweetness of Krishna's relationship with the people of Braj. Though He appeared as a child, He revealed His infinite divinity by protecting them, teaching that God accepts the simplest offerings of love and devotion, and in return, provides complete shelter.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 32 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji explains the profound meaning of Damodar Leela, where Mother Yashoda left Krishna momentarily to save boiling milk, and He responded with playful anger by breaking pots and feeding butter to monkeys. When she chased Him and tried to tie Him, every rope fell short by two fingers — symbolizing human effort and divine grace. Only when love and surrender united did Krishna allow Himself to be bound.  This leela reveals how God lovingly tests devotion — not to reject His devotees, but to deepen their love and perseverance. Though infinite and beyond the universe, Krishna becomes Bhakta-Vash — lovingly controlled by His devotees.  Bound to the mortar, He later liberated Nalakuvara and Manigriva, showing that even divine discipline leads to grace. The episode concludes with the residents of Gokul preparing to move to Vrindavan, where even sweeter pastimes await.    About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 31 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the touching Mud-eating leela of Shree Krishna. When the cowherd boys complained that Krishna had eaten mud, Mother Yashoda demanded that He open His mouth. Instead of mud, she beheld infinite universes within Him. Overwhelmed and confused, she momentarily glimpsed His divine majesty — yet by Yogmaya's grace, her motherly affection returned, and she again saw only her beloved child.  Swamiji explains that in Braj, Krishna hides His almightiness to relish pure love. Both devotee and God forget His supremacy so that intimate devotion may flourish.  This episode beautifully introduces Vatsalya Bhav and the five ways to love God — as King, Master, Friend, Beloved, or Child — revealing that love deepens when we truly feel that God is “mine.” The highest sweetness of Krishna lies in becoming lovingly bound by His devotees.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 30 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji explains why Shree Krishna is lovingly called Makhan Chor, the butter thief. The gopis of Braj churned butter with devotion, offering it as the purest symbol of their love. Krishna's stealing of butter was not ordinary mischief — it was a divine leela with a profound purpose.  By stealing butter, Krishna was in fact stealing the hearts of the gopis. Butter represents the essence of milk, just as pure devotion is the essence of the soul. Through these playful acts, Krishna drew the minds of the gopis away from worldly attachments and fixed them on Himself.  Swamiji highlights that the true reason behind Krishna's butter‑stealing is to teach that God accepts only the essence of our love and surrender. The leela shows how the Lord delights in the affection of His devotees and uses sweet, mischievous acts to bind them in divine love.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 28 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji explains why Shree Krishna is considered the most enchanting and special form of God, highlighting the four unique “Madhuris” (sweet attractions) that captivate the mind and heart  Swamiji emphasizes that these four Madhuris make Krishna distinct among all divine forms. They are not merely stories of charm but spiritual lessons that awaken prem bhakti — pure, selfless love for God. By meditating on Krishna's childhood leelas, His beauty, His flute, and His love, devotees experience the bliss of divine connection and the assurance of His grace.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 27 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the suspenseful leela of Putna Vadh, which reveals Shree Krishna's divine protection even as a six‑day‑old infant. Kamsa, fearful of the prophecy, sent the demoness Putna to Gokul. Disguised as a beautiful woman, she entered Nand and Yashoda's home, pretending to shower affection on the newborn Krishna.  Putna attempted to poison Krishna by breastfeeding Him with deadly milk. But Krishna, the Supreme Lord, accepted her as a mother figure and sucked not only the milk but also her very life force. Putna collapsed lifeless, and when her body was cremated, it emanated fragrance instead of foul odor — a sign of Krishna's boundless grace. Swamiji explains that even though Putna came with evil intent, Krishna granted her liberation because she had offered Him the semblance of motherly affection.  The villagers of Vraj were struck with awe and relief. Nand and Yashoda, shaken yet grateful, realized the extraordinary protection surrounding their child. The suspense of the night gave way to reassurance, as the mothers of Vraj instinctively performed protective rituals around Krishna, expressing their love and devotion.  Swamiji emphasizes that this leela teaches us to develop unshakable faith in God's protection. Just as Krishna safeguarded the people of Braj, He continues to protect devotees who surrender to Him with love and trust. Even hostility, when directed toward God, can be transformed into grace — showing the Lord's infinite compassion.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 26 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the divine first leela of Shree Krishna in Gokul. Nand and Yashoda, known for their simplicity and devotion, had longed for a child. The Brahmins blessed them, and by divine arrangement, the Lord Himself was destined to appear in their home.  On the suspenseful night of Krishna's birth, one by one the prison guards fell asleep, the chains broke, and the doors opened. Vasudeva carried the newborn across the Yamuna, which parted to make way, and placed Him safely in Gokul. At that very moment, Yashoda fainted in divine ecstasy, and Krishna's gentle crying awakened everyone to the miracle.  Soon after, the mukh‑dikhai ceremony was performed, where the villagers gathered to behold the divine child. The celebration in Vraj was filled with joy, music, and devotion, as the community rejoiced at the arrival of their beloved Krishna.  Swamiji emphasizes that these leelas are not ordinary events but spiritual lessons. Krishna's first leela reveals how God binds His devotees with love, awakens prem bhakti, and assures that His presence is tender, loving, and accessible in the simplest forms of affection.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 25 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the divine and miraculous circumstances of Shree Krishna's birth. Imprisoned by the cruel King Kamsa, Devaki and Vasudeva awaited the arrival of their eighth child, foretold to be Kamsa's destroyer. At midnight, the Lord manifested in His four-armed divine form, adorned with conch, discus, mace, and lotus, assuring His parents that He had come to protect dharma.  At Devaki's prayer, Krishna concealed His divinity and appeared as a tender infant. By divine arrangement, the prison guards fell asleep, the chains broke, and the doors opened. Vasudeva carried the newborn across the Yamuna, which parted to make way, and safely placed Him in Gokul with Yashoda and Nanda. Meanwhile, Yogmaya ensured the divine exchange, protecting Krishna from Kamsa's wrath.  Swamiji emphasizes that these events reveal the miracles of God's grace: when He descends, nature itself obeys His will. The birth of Krishna assures devotees that faith in God brings protection, guidance, and the triumph of dharma over adharma.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 23 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the divine episode of Shree Ram and Sita's marriage, which conveys the timeless lesson that humility triumphs over pride. King Janak organized the swayamvar, where mighty kings and warriors attempted to lift and string Lord Shiva's bow. Despite their strength and arrogance, none succeeded.  When Shree Ram approached, He did so with complete humility and devotion. Effortlessly, He lifted and strung the bow, breaking it in the process. This act revealed that true strength lies not in pride or worldly power, but in surrender to God.  Swamiji emphasizes that the marriage of Ram and Sita symbolizes the union of dharma and devotion, teaching us that humility is the highest virtue that wins God's grace, while pride distances the soul from divinity.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Swamiji narrates the continuation of King Bharat's journey. After being reborn as a deer due to attachment, God granted him remembrance and spiritual elevation. In his next birth as Jad Bharat, he lived in renunciation, appearing mad to the world but inwardly absorbed in devotion.  Through his encounter with King Rahugan, Jad Bharat revealed profound wisdom: the world is like a dangerous forest, full of suffering, and only by the grace of God and Guru can one cross the ocean of Maya. He emphasized that rituals and worldly roles are secondary; true welfare lies in receiving divine grace that elevates the soul to Shree Krishna.  This part highlights that effort and devotion prepare the soul, but only God's grace assures ultimate spiritual elevation and liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Swamiji explains King Parikshit's question: “If God is impartial, why does He seem to favor the devatas and oppose the daityas?” Shukadev Ji clarifies that the Lord is never biased — He only bestows grace. Even when He destroys demons, they receive liberation by His touch.  To illustrate, Swamiji narrates the story of Shishupal, who harbored deep hatred for Krishna. At the Rajasuya Yagya, when Yudhishthir honored Krishna with Agra Puja, Shishupal hurled abuses repeatedly. Krishna, having promised forgiveness up to 100 offenses, patiently endured. But when Shishupal crossed the limit, Krishna released His Sudarshan Chakra and severed his head. Astonishingly, Shishupal's soul merged into Krishna, attaining liberation.  Swamiji emphasizes the profound truth: however one fixes the mind on God — in love, anger, or even hatred — the soul is purified and uplifted. Just as the philosopher's stone turns iron into gold regardless of how it touches, Krishna's grace transforms all who connect with Him.  This part highlights the untold depth of divine mercy: Shree Krishna's grace is so boundless that even sinners and enemies, when connected to Him, can attain liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Swamiji narrates the divine descent of Lord Vishnu as Shree Ram. King Dasharath of Ayodhya, though prosperous, was childless. On Sage Vashishtha's guidance, he performed the Putrakameshti Yajna. From the sacrificial fire, Agni Dev appeared with the divine offering, which Dasharath distributed among his queens — Kaushalya, Kaikeyi, and Sumitra.  In due time, the Lord manifested. To Kaushalya, He first appeared in His four-armed divine form, reminding her of His promise from a previous life. At her request, He concealed His divinity and became a tender infant — Shree Ram. Soon, Kaikeyi and Sumitra too were blessed with Bharat, Lakshman, and Shatrughna.  The whole of Ayodhya rejoiced at the birth of these divine princes. Swamiji emphasizes that the Ram Avatar was not merely a historical event but a divine descent to establish dharma and shower grace upon humanity. God does not seek wealth, rituals, or status — He is hungry only for the pure love of His devotees.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

In this episode, Swamiji explains Krishna's profound teaching on the dangers of judging others and how true wisdom lies in cultivating humility and compassion. He begins by highlighting how quick judgments often arise from limited perception — we see only a fragment of someone's life and assume we know the whole story.  Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita, Swamiji emphasizes that Krishna urges seekers to look beyond superficial appearances and recognize the divine spark in every soul. He illustrates this with stories and analogies showing how premature judgments can lead to misunderstanding, while patience and empathy reveal deeper truths.  Swamiji explains that judging others stems from ego, whereas spiritual progress requires surrender and humility. By refraining from judgment, seekers purify their minds, develop compassion, and align themselves with Krishna's vision of equality.  This teaching matters because it transforms relationships and inner life: instead of criticism, we cultivate understanding; instead of arrogance, humility; instead of division, unity. By practicing Krishna's timeless wisdom, seekers can rise above judgment, live harmoniously, and progress steadily toward liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

In this nineth episode of the Narad Bhakti Sutra series, Swami Mukundananda compares the paths of rituals, knowledge, and yoga, showing why they are incomplete without devotion. Vedic rituals demand six conditions that are nearly impossible to fulfill in Kali Yuga, and at best they grant temporary celestial pleasures. Knowledge may lead to self‑realization, but even the jnani requires bhakti to cross maya. Ashtanga yoga disciplines the mind, yet Patanjali himself insists on surrender to God.  Swamiji explains that bhakti is amrit swaroopa — the nectar that makes the soul immortal. Just as nectar retains its power whether mixed with milk, juice, or water, bhakti sanctifies every path. Ultimately, only devotion reveals God fully — not just as the distant Brahman or the indwelling Paramatma, but as Bhagavan, the Supreme Divine Personality who descends and performs His leelas.  For seekers, this episode highlights that bhakti is the supreme path, the essence of spiritual life, and the only way to truly experience Shree Krishna's love and presence.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

What if one of the biggest expenses in your family budget could also become one of your most powerful tax strategies?In this episode, Barbara breaks down a little-known (and often misunderstood) tax strategy that can completely change how business owners pay for health, wellness, and family medical care: the Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan (MERP).Most business owners are already spending tens of thousands of dollars each year on things like therapy, orthodontics, hormone testing, supplements, gym memberships, and medical care for their children, but they're paying for all of it with after-tax dollars. This episode explains how, when structured correctly, a MERP allows your business to reimburse you tax-free for qualifying medical expenses, dramatically reducing your tax bill year after year.You'll learn why most CPAs have never heard of MERPs, why many business owners who think they have one are using it incorrectly, and how the tax code actually allows these reimbursements when the plan is properly set up and administered.Tune in to hear:Why health and wellness is the second largest expense in most family budgetsHow MERPs convert personal medical spending into tax-free reimbursementsThe difference between itemized medical deductions and business reimbursementsEntity-specific rules for S-corps, C-corps, and family management companiesWhy letters of medical necessity are critical for many expensesHow to avoid common compliance mistakes that trigger IRS scrutinyHow MERPs support long-term financial planning for families and childrenDownload the free Write Off Your Wellness Guide: https://taxedacademy.com/writeoffyourwellnessHow To Get Involved:Life-Changing Money is a podcast all about money.

In this episode, Swamiji reveals why the highest form of devotion is free from demands and expectations. Through moving examples like Prahlad, Bhishma, and the chatak bird, he explains how asking for material benefits turns prayer into a transaction, whereas true bhakti seeks only to love and serve Shree Krishna.  Listeners will understand the essence of nishkam bhakti—surrendering desires, dissolving ego, and cultivating unwavering love. Swamiji shows how this selfless approach deepens one's relationship with God and invites divine grace, transforming prayer from seeking outcomes to offering the heart.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best-selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

In this episode, Swamiji reveals the profound significance of deity worship in Hinduism. While God is all‑pervading, devotees long for a tangible way to express love—offering garlands, food, and service to the Lord. Through powerful stories of Swami Vivekananda, Madhavendra Puri, and Ramakrishna Paramahansa, Swamiji illustrates how the deity becomes a living presence that accepts and reciprocates devotion.  Listeners will learn why deity worship is not about stone or wood, but about the sentiments of the heart; how Shree Krishna personally responds to the love of his devotees; and why the ultimate practice is to install the Lord in one's heart through meditation.

n this final episode of the series, Swamiji reveals the #1 daily practice that guarantees spiritual progress: consistent remembrance and devotion to Shree Krishna. He explains how karmic bondage keeps the soul trapped in the cycle of birth and death, and why only bhakti — practiced every day with sincerity — can dissolve these karmas and lead to liberation.  Listeners will learn how daily devotion purifies the heart, strengthens faith, and creates a living connection with God. Swamiji emphasizes that this practice is not about ritual alone, but about cultivating love for Krishna in every thought and action. This episode is a powerful reminder that with steady bhakti, seekers can attain Shree Krishna in this very lifetime.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.
