Scripture class by Rev. Dr. Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati on Devi Gita, chapter 2, verses 27-34, given to students of the Ramakrishna Seminary at Kali Mandir via Zoom on 18 June 2025. The Goddess said: तस्मादाकाश उत्पन्नः शब्दतन्मात्ररूपकः | भवेत् स्पर्शात्मको वायुस्तेजोरूपात्मकं पुनः || २७ || tasmādākāśa utpannaḥ śabda-tanmātra-rūpakaḥ | bhavet sparśātmako vāyus-tejo-rūpātmakaṃ punaḥ || 27 || 27. "Out of that primal substance arose ether,  endowed with the subtle quality of sound. Then arose air, characterized by the quality of touch, followed by fire, characterized by visible form." जलं रसात्मकं पशात् ततो गन्धात्मिका धरा | शब्दैकगुण आकासो वायुः स्पर्शरवानितः || २८ || jalaṃ rasātmakaṃ paśāt tato gandhātmikā dharā | śabdaika-guṇa ākāso vāyuḥ sparśa-ravānitaḥ || 28 || 28. "Next arose water, characterized by taste; then earth, characterized by smell. Ether has the single quality of sound; air is endowed with touch and sound." शब्दस्पर्शरूपगुणं तेज ईत्युच्यते बुधैः | शब्दस्पर्शरूपरसैरापो वेदगुणाः स्मृताः || २९ || śabda-sparśa-rūpa-guṇaṃ teja ītyucyate budhaiḥ | śabda-sparśa-rūpa-rasairāpo veda-guṇāḥ smṛtāḥ || 29 || 29. "Fire has the qualities of sound, touch, and visible form, according to the wise; water has the four qualities of sound, touch, visible form, and taste, so they say." शब्दस्पर्शरूपरसगन्धैः पञ्चगुणा धरा | तेभ्योऽभवन् महत्सूत्रं यल्लिण्गं परिचक्षते || ३० || śabda-sparśa-rūpa-rasa-gandhaiḥ pañca-guṇā dharā | tebhyo'bhavan mahat-sūtraṃ yal-liṇgaṃ paricakṣate || 30 || 30. "Earth has the five qualities of sound, touch, visible form, taste, and smell. From those subtle elements came into being the great cosmic thread which is called the Subtle Body." सर्वात्मकं तत्सम्प्रोक्तं सूक्ष्मदेहोऽयमात्मनः | अव्यत्क्तं कारणो देहः स चोक्तः पूर्वमेव हि || ३१ || sarvātmakaṃ tat-samproktaṃ sūkṣma-deho'yamātmanaḥ | avyatktaṃ kāraṇo dehaḥ sa coktaḥ pūrvameva hi || 31 || 31.

From that, by the process of fivefold generation, the gross elements," पञ्चसङ्ख्यानि जायन्ते तत्प्रकारस्त्वथोच्यते | पूर्वोक्तानि च भूतानि प्रत्यकं विभजेद् द्विधा || ३३ || pañca-saṅkhyāni jāyante tat-prakāra-stvathocyate | pūrvoktāni ca bhūtāni pratyakaṃ vibhajed dvidhā || 33 || 33. "Five in number, arise. I shall now describe this process. Each of those elements previously mentioned shall be divided in half." एकैकं भागमेकस्य चतुर्धा विभजेद् गिरे | स्वस्वतरद्वितीयांशे योजनात् पञ्च ते || ३४ || ekaikaṃ bhāgamekasya caturdhā vibhajed gire | svasvataradvitīyāṃśe yojanāt pañca te || 34 || 34. "One half-part of each element shall be divided into four, O Mountain. By joining the undivided half of each element with one of the quartered fractions from each of the other four, each element becomes five-fold." तत्कार्यं च विराड्देहः स्थूलदेहोऽयमात्मनः |  tat-kāryaṃ ca virāḍ-dehaḥ sthūla-deho'yamātmanaḥ | 34.

Job vs Career: The Mindset Shift That Changes EverythingIn this episode, Swami and Aswin explore the fundamental difference between approaching professional life through a "job lens" versus a "career lens." While a job focuses on immediate tasks and short-term objectives for monetary compensation, a career requires having a larger vision, imagination, and aspiration for where you want to be in 15-30 years. The discussion reveals how extraordinary professionals distinguish themselves through three key elements: they develop a portfolio of skills beyond their current role requirements, maintain a lifelong learning mindset with heroes and mentors to emulate, and have the courage to "disrupt themselves" every few years rather than becoming complacent. Using examples from Ilaiyaraja's musical journey and Nitin Paranjpe's rise at Unilever, the episode demonstrates how career-minded individuals prepare for future opportunities by building capabilities they don't yet need, while job-focused individuals risk losing relevance over time. The conversation concludes with practical resources for making this mindset shift, including the My TRUE Compass diagnostic tool that helps professionals align their purpose, mindset, and practice for extraordinary success.5-point SummaryJob vs Career Mindset: A job is what you do today for money with short-term focus, while a career is a life journey requiring 15-30 year vision and imagination of where you want to be professionally.Portfolio of Skills: Extraordinary professionals build capabilities beyond their current job requirements by studying what skills they'll need for their dream role (like a CFO learning about board management, fundraising, and industry trends even as an entry-level finance executive).Lifelong Learning with Heroes: Career-minded individuals identify heroes in their field, study their biographies, and continuously learn from the best practitioners, while job-focused people stop learning and eventually lose relevance in their 30s and 40s.Courage to Disrupt Yourself: Every 5 years, extraordinary professionals deliberately make themselves "comfortable with being uncomfortable" by taking on new challenges, saying no to attractive but misaligned opportunities, and pivoting to stay ahead of industry trends.Purpose-Driven Career Diagnostic: Use tools like My TRUE Compass to regularly assess if your purpose, mindset, and practice are aligned, treating your career development like a systematic process rather than hoping for the best outcome.Timestamps00:00:27 - 00:07:41 The Core Difference00:07:41 - 00:16:36 Self-Limiting Beliefs00:16:36 - 00:23:16 Building Vision00:23:16 - 00:31:09 Making the Transition00:31:09 - 00:39:40 Focused Learning00:39:41 - 00:40:58 Personal Disruption#JobVsCareer, #CareerMindset, #ProfessionalGrowth, #LifelongLearning, #CareerDevelopment, #BeExtraordinary, #DisruptYourself, #CareerVision, #ProfessionalSuccess, #CareerPlanning, #SkillBuilding, #CareerGoals, #ProfessionalMindset, #CareerTransformation, #MyTRUECompass⁠Selected Links and Show Notes⁠: https://www.contraminds.com⁠Subscribe to our Weekly Newsletter⁠: https://blog.contraminds.comFollow UsTwitter: https://twitter.com/contramindsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/contraminds/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/contramindsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/contraminds

One Movement Unified By The Higher Principle of Pleasing Kṛṣṇa | HH Radhanatha Swami | 18 May 2025

Kṛṣṇa declares that he is subordinate to the love of his devotee. Bhakti is so powerful that the supreme controller of all controllers finds the greatest pleasure in being controlled by the love of his devotee. But to realize that love requires Kṛṣṇa's grace. Śrīla Prabhupāda gives an example: when we talk of the oneness of a nation, it doesn't mean everybody merges into a nation. There may be millions of individuals, but the oneness of a nation is that we are united on the higher principle of the nation, the interests of the nation. When we speak about one family, it's not that everybody in the family becomes, you know, like the filling in a samosa—we all get smashed together. The oneness of a family is when the interest of the family is the higher principle that we are all united on, and that's actually oneness. Śrīla Prabhupāda describes that this is the idea of Kṛṣṇa consciousness: that we are all conscious of Kṛṣṇa. We all have our diversity, we all have our natures, we all have our experiences, we all have our individual, unique struggles in life. But there's a higher principle that we unite on: saṁsiddhir hari-toṣaṇam—what will please Kṛṣṇa. And in our life, we know what will please Kṛṣṇa is what will please Śrīla Prabhupāda. Variegatedness, or diversity, without appreciating the higher principle that we've been brought together to represent, could create envy and division. But in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, variegatedness actually creates deeper appreciation for each other with our differences, and that is a test of actually if we're Kṛṣṇa conscious. When we see the wonderful associates of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, there's so much variegatedness. In ordinary society of that time, these people would probably have nothing to do with each other. But they were so loving and so gentle; they actually loved each other, not just the austerity of not fighting, because they were seeing each other according to the higher principle. Mahārāja Pratāparudra was a king, an undisputed king called Gajapati of the empire of Orissa. He had palaces, incredible treasuries, armies. And then there was Kolavecā Śrīdhara. He was so simple and poor; he would sell the leaves of bananas just sitting on the side of the road. And he was so simple; he dressed in rags because that's the only clothes he had. He had a simple little straw house that was one room with a dirt floor, and when it would rain, the rain would come in because it was just a little straw roof. He was so thin because he hardly had money. But whatever he earned, before spending anything, he would donate half for the worship of Mother Gaṅgā, because she was the energy of the Lord, purifying and giving mercy and blessings to all beings without discrimination of who was fit or unfit. Whether you're rich or poor, whether you're of one caste or one color or one sex or one community, still, Mother Gaṅgā is flowing and purifying you, even if you're a buffalo, or an elephant, or a snake, or a lizard. Mother Gaṅgā is flowing for everyone. So Kolavecā Śrīdhara was living so simply, but yet, when he would come to Purī, he didn't think of the king as a gross materialist living in his palace, "King, you are in māyā. Look, you have all of this!" He had the highest regard and appreciation for King Pratāparudra, because he was using what he had in God's service. And King Pratāparudra would sometimes think of giving everything away and becoming like Kolavecā Śrīdhara, a beggar, because whatever little he had, he was giving in God's service. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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/ ------------------------------------------------------------

When Advaita Ācārya started his prayers to Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, he held open class and prayed that Lord Caitanya would come and help spread the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement all over the world. So, however insignificant it may seem, the way one starts—one person—can change the whole world; one person with a sincere desire. And we feel it in you, Mahārāj, that wherever you go, you set this example of utter humility, at the same time complete seriousness, about this strategy to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world. I remember years ago when we talked about New York, and it seemed to be a complicated situation, but I remember you'd always say, "But Prabhupāda started there. He wanted us to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness in New York." And even in the most difficult situations, you've always adhered yourself to Śrīla Prabhupāda's desire. So all the initiates today are fortunate to be able to see you, to observe how you live and how you interact with others, and to be able to adhere themselves to your instructions. And I'm personally grateful to all the devotees here who are following in Śrīla Prabhupāda's footsteps by accepting His Holiness Radhanath Swami Mahārāja as the representative of the Guru-paramparā, who's showing how to use one's entire life to not only expand Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world, but to attain the ultimate perfection of life, which is to constantly remember Kṛṣṇa, talk about Kṛṣṇa, and chant Harē Kṛṣṇa. (HG Vaisesika Dasa) Thank you so much, Mahārāj, for keeping us in your orbit, for inspiring not only your disciples, but all of us here at ISV and around the world. And I'm very happy for these initiates to be connected to our glorious Paramparā. Under your shelter, we're so fortunate to be connected to the most glorious Paramparā. It's a big step you're all taking, and the whole community is here to support you and help you in any way you can. And I already see so many of you who do so much here, do so much service, do so much preaching. So however we can continue to serve each other, serve your Guru Mahārāj and serve Śrīla Prabhupāda. Personally, I want to offer my help, my support, and I'm just so happy for you all to be under the shelter of Radhanath Mahārāj and Śrīla Prabhupāda. Thank you. Harē Kṛṣṇa! (HG Nirākulā Dāsī) I am so happy to see that you are under the shelter of Vaiśeṣika Mahārāja and Nirākulā Devī because, from the core of my heart, I appreciate how Śrīla Prabhupāda is so pleased with their surrender, their example, and their spiritual leadership for this community, and actually for inspiring the whole world of our movement.And I'm just a little creature that's crawling around trying to serve, but Vaiśeṣika Prabhu and Nirākulā Devī are really great Vaiṣṇavas, and how they are pleasing Śrīla Prabhupāda is so meaningful to me and so many other devotees. There is nothing more pleasing to me than you trying to assist them and please them.In my own heart, I'm just assisting them by trying to inspire all of you in this connection to Śrīla Prabhupāda and our Guru-paramparā (HH Rādhānātha Maharaja) Link to the complete ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3tMBBPxMt4 ------------------------------------------------------------ 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
