Earlier this week, we celebrated the Spring Goddess Festival, Chaitra Navarātri or the 9 nights of the Mā Durgā! Naturally, we had a conversation about the very profound and very elaborate Durgā Pūjā which is performed on the last five days of the festival. We discussed how the Durgā Pūjā is the modern equivalent of the Vedic sacrifice par excellence, the Aśvamedha Yajña (horse sacrifice) and how performing Durgā pūjā can create the same amount of spiritual and secular merit! We discussed the communal aspects of Durgā Pūjā, mainly to explain why it is only open to householders. After our inquiry into why householders tend to be favored in the Vedic and Tantrik ritual traditions, we then offer a Durgā Pūjā substitute as per the teaching in the Kulārnava Tantra chapter on mantra-japa. We close with offering a simple durgā pūjā, a five-item offering that anyone can do to connect to the energy that is Durgā, who is none other than Kālī, who is your very own essence nature!To worship, Durgā, first chant this mantra while visualizing her form in your heart: oṁ hrīṁ kālābhrābhāṁ kaṭākṣair arikulabhayadāṁ maulibaddhendurekhām śaṅkhaṁ cakraṁ kṛpāṇaṁ triśikham api karair udvahantīṁ trinetrām। siṁhaskandhādhirūḍhāṁ tribhuvanam akhilaṁ tejasā pūrayantīṁ dhyāyed durgāṁ jayākhyāṁ tridaśaparivṛtāṁ sevitāṁ siddhikāmaiḥ॥"one should meditation on Durgā who is called the Victorious One who is radiant like a dark storm cloud, who casts a sidelong glance at the group of foes, thus terrifying them, with a crescent moon tucked into her crown while holding a conch, discus, sword and trident in her hands, three eyed, riding on the shoulders on a lion, filling the three worlds with her radiance, surrounded by the 30 (33) gods* and who is worshipped by those desiring perfection and pleasure!"Then, imagine she is present in the candle/lamp/picture or statue and offer the following items with the following mantras:Offer flower with perfume or fragrant oil:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā eṣa gandhaḥ jayadurgāyai namaḥOffer flower with sandalwood paste or just any fragrant flower:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā idaṁ sacandanapuṣpaṁ jayadurgāyai namaḥOffer a vilva leaf (or alternatively, any other three-petalled leaf) w/ sandalwood paste:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā idaṁ sacandanavilvapatraṁ / vilvapatrārthatripatraṁ jayadurgāyai namaḥ Offer incense:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā eṣa dhūpaḥ jayadurgāyai namaḥ Offer a light / candle:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā eṣa dīpaḥ jayadurgāyai namaḥPS: while you wave the incense and light clockwise around your deity (thrice around the feet, thrice around the heart, four times around the face and thrice around the whole statue/picture), you can chant the Durgā Gayatrī Mantra or the following: oṁ jayantī maṅgalā kālī bhadrakālī kapālinīdurgā śivā kṣamā dhātrī svāhā svadhā namo'stuteThen, Offer some sweets or fruits:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā idaṁ naivedyaṁ jayadurgāyai namaḥOffer wine and/or water:oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā idaṁ karanodakaṁ jayadurgāyai namaḥ (for wine)oṁ hrīṁ durge durge rakṣiṇi svāhā idaṁ pāniyōdakaṁ jayadurgāyai namaḥ (for water)(you can consume the fruits, sweets, water and wine afterwards if you like or distribute them to friends/family) I ran out of words!

We find in the case of Śiśupāla, a couple of things happen as he took birth. He was also extremely opulent. You may have noticed in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Śiśupāla was materially no slouch. He was practically described as more opulent than Kṛṣṇa. He had so much opulence he was killed by Rāmacandra in his next life. He had all these assets, and we all know that when he was a little child, he began saying the Lord's Names, and it's a chanting, but he was blaspheming Kṛṣṇa. He still had this hatred towards the Lord, and in his last act at the Rājasūya Yajña, where he tried to ruin the whole yajña, he waited till the perfect time to stand up and say, "Kṛṣṇa is not qualified," because previously, they could have taken back the yajña, but after it was already finished, and he said, if they had followed him and said Kṛṣṇa wasn't qualified to be the first one worshiped in this yajña, it would have nullified the whole rājasūya. So he was diabolical in his calculation, because he hated Kṛṣṇa so much, and he stood up in the assembly and began blaspheming Kṛṣṇa. So what happened there? Kṛṣṇa artfully cut off his head—artfully, I say because it was a yajña, he didn't want to spill any blood. So He's so precise in the way He chopped off his head. Sorry, I know it's a family show that no blood hit the ground. What's deeper and what's related to this conversation is that Śiśupāla, in the last moment before his head was severed, drank the beauty of the face of Lord Kṛṣṇa. What's more, he had been chanting Kṛṣṇa's names, and this I brought up at the Japa circle this morning, as mentioned by Rūpa Gosvāmī, there are two main ways that one becomes perfect in this life: one is by saying the names of the Lord, and the other is by seeing His beauty, because it's unparalleled. Rūpa Gosvāmī uses this as proof because Hiraṇyakaśipu saw Lord Nṛsiṁhadev, Rāvaṇa saw Lord Rāmacandra—no liberation. But when Śiśupāla saw Kṛṣṇa and chanted His names, he was liberated at that point. So there's a way in which Kṛṣṇa is Bhagavān Svayam. We have the description of Lord Rāmacandra within the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, but it's by way of comparison to take us through the rasas and bring us to the ultimate conclusion that Kṛṣṇa is the reservoir of all rasas. What's more, His beauty is incomparable even to His other forms. Let's not get it wrong. They're all Kṛṣṇa, but only Kṛṣṇa is Kṛṣṇa, and only those killed by Kṛṣṇa are completely liberated.

Neste episódio do PFC, Fred e Alexandre recebem o cinéfilo e podcaster Marcos Damiani  (Podcast Cinemaventura) para conversarem sobre um tema pouco explorado entre os cinéfilos, o filme criminal japonês. Batizado pela distribuidora Criterion como Nikkatsu Noir, deste conjunto de filmes destacamos "A Juventude da Besta" (Yajû no seishun, 1963) e "Tóquio Violenta" (Tôkyô nagaremono, 1966), ambas produções dirigidas por Seijun Suzuki, um dos expoentes do gênero. Para completar o episódio, trazemos o excelente "Um Colt é Meu Passaporte" (Koruto wa ore no pasupôto, 1967) de Takashi Nomura. Ao longo deste áudio, traçamos também um panorama deste pedaço do cinema japonês da década de 60, a chamada era de ouro do Cinema Yakuza.Crédito da Foto: Nikkatsu Corp.----------------------Acesse nosso site: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.filmesclassicos.com.br⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Acesse nossa página no Facebook : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/podcastfilmesclassicos/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Discovering Tapas & DanaWelcome to a heartfelt exploration of Tapas & Dana, two vital concepts from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 17 that promise to transform your daily life. Tapas & Dana define how we refine ourselves while lifting others, offering a roadmap to authentic spiritual growth. From bodily discipline and thoughtful speech to pure-hearted generosity, Tapas & Dana show how every action can bring you closer to your higher purpose.Picture the simple power of Tapas & Dana in daily routines. By rising just 15 minutes earlier for meditation or stretching (a reflection of Tapas), you can ignite a sense of vitality and mental clarity. By choosing to share a portion of your breakfast with someone in need (a small but sincere act of Dana), you plant the seeds of compassion and empathy. Tapas & Dana merge the practical with the profound, proving that a single moment of self-restraint or selflessness can shift the trajectory of your entire day.The Bhagavad Gita divides Tapas (austerity) and Dana (charity) into three categories: Sattvic, Rajasic, and Tamasic. Sattvic Tapas & Dana flow from a spirit of purity, sincerity, and service. Rajasic Tapas & Dana, however, often seek praise or material benefit, making them less stable. Tamasic Tapas & Dana can arise from misguided actions or even harmful motivations. By discovering where your personal acts of discipline and charity fit within these modes, you can consciously move toward a life shaped by Sattvic qualities.One of the most captivating tales linked to Tapas & Dana features King Yudhisthira's grand Rājasūya Yajña, followed by a startling encounter with a half-golden mongoose. Despite the grandeur of the king's ceremony, the mongoose declared that a humble family's meager yet selfless gift surpassed all lavish donations. This story from the Mahābhārata highlights how true Tapas & Dana reside in the purity of one's heart rather than the scale of external performance.Anyone can integrate Tapas & Dana into modern life. Set a goal for gentle communication that avoids harmful words (verbal austerity) or commit to mindful eating (bodily austerity). Offer a helping hand or resources to someone who cannot repay you (selfless Dana) and experience how this giving uplifts your perspective. With each step, you will notice a deepening connection to the wisdom of Bhagavad Gita, and you will see just how Tapas & Dana provide a blueprint for moral strength, emotional well-being, and heightened spiritual awareness.Learn more about Tapas & Dana through real-life success stories and detailed breakdowns in this podcast. By the end, you will feel inspired to apply these principles wholeheartedly, empowering your personal growth and nurturing a more compassionate world.krsnadaasa (Servant of Krishna)

If one wants to perfect his life, he should discharge his prescribed duties for the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa. One must act in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, for such action will never produce any reaction (animitta-nimittena). This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā. Yajñārthāt karmaṇo 'nyatra: all activities should be performed simply for Yajña, or the satisfaction of Viṣṇu. Anything done otherwise, without the satisfaction of Viṣṇu, or Yajña, produces bondage, so here it is also prescribed by Kapila Muni that one can transcend material entanglement by acting in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, which means seriously engaging in devotional service. This serious devotional service can develop by hearing for long periods of time. Chanting and hearing is the beginning of the process of devotional service. One should associate with devotees and hear from them about the Lord's transcendental appearance, activities, disappearance, instructions, etc. There are two kinds of śruti, or scripture. One is spoken by the Lord, and the other is spoken about the Lord and His devotees. Bhagavad-gītā is the former and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam the latter. One must hear these scriptures repeatedly from reliable sources in order to become fixed in serious devotional service. Through engagement in such devotional service, one becomes freed from the contamination of māyā. It is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam that hearing about the Supreme Personality of Godhead cleanses the heart of all contamination caused by the influence of the three modes of material nature. By continuous, regular hearing, the effects of the contamination of lust and greed to enjoy or lord it over material nature diminish, and when lust and greed diminish, one then becomes situated in the mode of goodness. This is the stage of Brahman realization, or spiritual realization. In this way one becomes fixed on the transcendental platform. Remaining fixed on the transcendental platform is liberation from material entanglement.

What is self-harm? Possibly not something you associate with yourself. And not a behaviour that you attribute to your colleagues, friends or family members. But the reality could be very different and that is why this episode of the podcast and the free resource is so important. Self-harm is not uncommon and therefore you need to know about it.Yaj Buljeean is a trainer and clinician at Harmless, the national leader in this field. She joins me to explore what we mean by self-harm, the stigma around it, and the prevalence and risk factors. Crucially, Yaj provides practical advice for companies to support their employees who are using this behaviour to cope with underlying distress.If you're reading this thinking this topic isn't relevant. Think again. According to the WHO, 16 million people worldwide are reported to self-harm. We know that is likely to be an underestimate. My experience alone is that clients hide their behaviour... from their partner, their friends, their employers. Shame and embarrassment keeps mouths shut.Convenient for companies? That's no longer okay. No idea how to think about it or where to start? That's understandable. And that's why the free, downloadable resource that covers a breadth of mental health disorders, as well as self-harm, has been created. It is a must for anyone looking to demonstrate care towards their workforce. You can get hold of your copy here: itstimeforchange.co.uk/the-resilience-collectiveStop passing the buck.

The importance of gratefulness We discussed the importance of thankfulness and gratefulness for everything that we consume on this planet.  Vedas prescribe a vegetarian diet for humans and this is important for spiritual progress.  However, even plants, vegetables, grains, fruits, etc contain life, and if we eat it for our own enjoyment, we get bound in the karmic reactions of destroying life because violence is caused unknowingly to living entities in the process of cooking.  In 3.13, Krishna uses the word Yajña-śhiṣhṭa, meaning whatever remains after the sacrifice. The concept of Yajña-śhiṣhṭa is strongly interconnected with the philosophy of karma, Ahimsa (non-violence ), and Vairagya (detachment from material enjoyments). The idea is that by offering food (and other things we consume) first to Bhagavan, we are not only expressing gratitude but also acknowledging our role as caretakers of our bodies. This is a very important concept, that we are not our bodies but just caretakers of our bodies, which has been gifted to us by Prakriti, to be used for spiritual evolution leading to God-Realization. Shree Krishna says that, if we eat food as remnants of yajña offered to God then our consciousness rises. We then acknowledge that this body also belongs to God and we are eating this food to nourish this body which we want to use for serving God. And we consume the consecrated food with thanks and gratefulness.  A point to be noted is that pure devotees and saints will never consume or accept anything which is not Yajna-shista. This applies not just to food but to everything that is consumed in some manner. For example, the clothes we wear, the house we live in, the car we drive, etc. should all be offered to God before we consume or enjoy them. Even in modern society, income for which we have not paid taxes is called ‘black money' and income for which we have paid taxes is called ‘white money'. So the money is the same, however the act of paying or not paying taxes makes it either black of white. Similarly, anything we consume without offering to God becomes impure. Let us always remember this and cultivate the habit of saying a quick thanks to God and mentally offering the food to God before we start eating. Once we offer to God, the food becomes ‘prasadam' which means ‘mercy of God'.  In many parts of India, in the Hindu families, as soon as the food is cooked, the lady of the house will offer a small part of it to the crows. In some families there is a tradition of feeding a small part of the food to the cows and in some families there is a tradition of giving a small part of the food to some beggar. All of these practices are in alignment with Krishna's message from verse 3.13. These days many modern families have forgotten this teaching and it would be good for us to help keep this tradition alive. And in 3.14, Krishna reiterates the importance of maintaining this tradition in order to sustain the cycle of nature. Rain is required for grains. Grains are required for humans. And when humans perform yajna (sacrifices), the Gods provide rain. And the cycle continues. If humans stop performing yajnas, it will disrupt the cycle and it will be very harmful for the sustenance of life on this planet.  "अन्नाद्भवन्ति भूतानि" (Annad Bhavanti Bhutani): This part of the verse implies that all beings come into existence from food. Food here is representative of nourishment or sustenance. The idea is that all life forms depend on some form of sustenance for their existence and growth.

Brahmā said, “In the kalpa called Pādma, I created my mental son Pulastya, whose son Viśravas begot the son Vaiśravaṇa. He propitiated the three-eyed God Śiva with a very severe penance and enjoyed the city of Alakā built by Viśvakṛt. When that kalpa was over and the Meghavāhana-kalpa had started, the son of Yajñadatta, Śrīda, performed a severe penance. Realising the efficacy of devotion to Śiva accruing from the mere illumination of His temple with lamps, he reached Kāśī for the illumination of his thought. Under the lustre of the gems of the mind, he repeated the mantras of eleven Rudras with loyal devotion and unswerving concentration of the mind. He could realise his identity with Śiva. He then performed very severe penance for two hundred thousand years—a penance which was enhanced by the fire of austerity, was free from interference from lust and anger, was windless, inasmuch as the breath was curbed, and was pure in form with pure vision. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shivadyuti/message

Guṇanidhi the son of brāhmaṇa Yajñadatta, spoiled by his indulgent mother, became a sinful rascal. When his father found out, he disowned Guṇanidhi and put away his wife. Guṇanidhi became an indigent wanderer. Yet he was saved by ŚIva's grace, by way of just a little pious activity. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shivadyuti/message

Brahmā said, “Guṇanidhi, the son of the Dīkṣita Yajñadatta, came to know of this. Regretfully he cursed himself and set off from that place. After wandering aimlessly for a long time, he, the wicked fellow, felt the abandonment keenly; losing all hope, he halted at a place. He thought to himself: ‘Where am I to go? What shall I do? I have not studied much, nor am I rich enough. Only a wealthy man can be happy in a foreign land, although he has to face the fear of thieves there. Of course, this fear is present everywhere. I am born in the family of priests officiating in sacrifices. Why am I reduced to this wretched plight? Fate is powerful indeed, controlling all our future actions. I cannot even beg as I have no acquaintance, no money. Where shall I seek refuge? Everyday, even before sunrise, my mother used to feed me with sweet pudding. From whom shall I beg today? My mother too is away from me.' --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shivadyuti/message

Sūta said, “O great sages, after hearing these words of Brahmā, Nārada once again bowed to him and asked humbly:” Nārada said, “When did Śiva, favourably disposed to His devotees, go to Kailāśa? Where did he have the intimate acquaintance with Kubera of great and noble soul? What did Śiva of auspicious form do there? Please narrate all these things to me. I am deeply interested in it.” Brahmā said, “O Nārada, listen. I shall tell you the story of the moon-crested Lord, how he went to Kailāśan and how he contracted friendship of Kubera. In the city of Kāmpilya there was a sacrificer named Yajñadatta. Born of a Somayāji family, he was adept in the performance of sacrifice. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shivadyuti/message

Hablamos con Pablo Hidalgo sobre la medicina del Yajé, las precauciones que debemos tener cuando nos acercamos a esta medicina y sus beneficios para nuestro cuerpo. Según el International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research, and Service “El interés por la ayahuasca y sus prácticas asociadas dista mucho de perseguir una «experiencia con drogas», sino que forma parte de un camino de iniciación y búsqueda espiritual que tiene como principal característica la preocupación por el autocuidado, la profundidad espiritual y la preservación de las culturas indígenas y sus ecosistemas” además “Se ha propuesto la ayahuasca como tratamiento para el trastorno de estrés postraumático,para la regulación emocional en personas con trastornos de personalidad,en el tratamiento del duelo y para toda una serie de enfermedades médicas¨ Bienvenidxs a este viaje.

In this excerpt from the Bhagavad Gita in the Light of Kashmir Shaivism, chapter 16, Swami Lakshmanjoo explains that there are two kinds of glories in Kashmir Shaivism, one is divine glory, one is not divine glory. Divine glory is godly behavior that is sentencing you in mokṣha, liberation. And not divine glory is demonic behavior that is entangling you in the wheel of repeated births and deaths. "Now, Lord Śiva (Lord Kṛṣṇa) says that there are two kinds of glories: one is divine glory, one is not divine glory. Divine glory shines in those who are blessed and the symptoms of divine glory are what He says now." or listen to the audio below...

Dānaṁ, he has got the tendency to give alms to the poor who [are in] need. Damaśca–damaśca means, he has got the power to keep his organs controlled1. Yajñaśca, he performs yajñas (yajñas means, offerings). He offers to the gods and to the poor and to those who [are in] need. Svādhyāya, he is always absorbed in singing the glory of Lord Śiva in books, in Shaivite books. Tapa, he has got penance. Tapa means, he who has got penance in mind, in body, and in soul (tapasya, tolerance). Ārjavam, he has got . . . ārjavam means, rujita, he is simple, simple behavior. Simple behavior does not mean that he is dull, [that] he is a duffer. No. “Simple” means, he is alert in [being] concentrated upon God consciousness. But he is not a duffer, he is not that simple. But he has got all behaviors [that] are simple, without crookedness. Āhimsā (verse 2), he does not want to hurt anybody. Satyam, and he speaks the truth. Akrodha, he is not given to wrath. Tyāga, he has the power of detachment.  Asaktir, he is not a slave to, he has not become slave to, this [attachment]. Asakti means, he has not become a slave to his desires. He controls his desires, which [means that] he understands [what] is a good desire [and] he possesses that. [That] which is a bad [desire], he does not allow that [to enter] in his mind. Apaiśunam–apaiśunam means, chugalkhor, he is not a chugalkhor. Chugalkhor means he [who] says absolute falsehoods [about] others to [their] nearly-attached persons. For instance, if I have got āsurī saṁpat (demonic behavior), I will tell you a falsehood, a falsehood about your wife, a falsehood about your kith and kin. [I will tell you], “They are not behaving [with] good character with you.” Afterwards, face-to-face [with you], they behave with good actions. But when you are out [of the chugalkhor’s presence],

Śrīla Prabhupāda. How have they created anything? They take the sand and mix it with some chemicals and make glass. They have not created the sand or the chemicals; they have taken them from the earth. How have they created anything? Dr. Singh. They say, "We have taken the materials from nature." Śrīla Prabhupāda. "From nature" means from a person. They have taken from nature, but they are thieves because everything in nature belongs to Kṛṣṇa. Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam: "Everything is God's creation." (ISO 1) In Bhagavad-gītā Kṛṣṇa states that if one does not perform yajña (sacrifice), he is a thief. Yajña means acknowledging that things have been taken from Kṛṣṇa. We should think, "Kṛṣṇa, You have given us many, many things for our maintenance." This much acknowledgement Kṛṣṇa wants; that's all. Otherwise, what can He expect from you? What are you in His presence? We should acknowledge Kṛṣṇa's kindness. Therefore, before we eat we offer the food to Kṛṣṇa and say, "Kṛṣṇa, You have given us this nice food, so first You taste it." Then we eat it. Kṛṣṇa is not hungry, yet He can eat the whole world and then again produce it exactly as it was. Pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate (Īśo Invocation). Kṛṣṇa is so perfect that if you take from Kṛṣṇa all of Kṛṣṇa's energy, all the original energy is still with Him. That is perfect conservation of energy. | Read along with us: biglink.to/lifecomesfromlife

In this Age of Kali, the Supreme Lord in His incarnation of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu should be worshiped with His associates by performance of saṅkīrtana-yajña, the congregational chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. This process is accepted by intelligent men. Yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ. The word sumedhasaḥ refers to intelligent men who possess very good brain substance.

Yajña (Sacrifice) is so important that Lord Krishna mentions “without sacrifice one can never live happily on this planet or in this life: what then of the next?” [Bhagavad Gita 4.31] Do learn how to practice it at home, without igniting fire or calling Vedic priests. Don't miss, as there is no question of happiness without YAJÑA.

Every civilized person in Vedic culture is supposed to perform Yajña. Especially householders need to do *5 types of Yajña everyday.* What is the need? Is there a scientific basis? Do you know it can be performed even without igniting fire.

The Q&A: Humboldt Episode 32: Yaj aka Amy Jay who is an Imago Relationship Coach and Non-Violent Communication Practitioner. Speaking on her path and love for her work.

The devotees, the jñānīs, who are known as mokṣa-kāma, and the karmīs, who are known as sarva-kāma, are all aspiring to worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu. Even when one performs yajñas, as stated here (kriyā-kalāpaiḥ), he should always remember that the demigods are but agents of the Supreme Lord. Actually the worshipful Lord is Viṣṇu, Yajñeśvara.

This week Yaj-1337 is reunited with a long lost friend.

All creatures within the earth fulfill the necessities required for human beings, and all living entities can be taken out of the earth by the proper means. As suggested by the planet earth, and accepted and initiated by King Pṛthu, whatever is taken from the earth — either from the mines, from the surface of the globe or from the atmosphere — should always be considered the property of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and should be used for Yajña, Lord Viṣṇu.

A cow eats green grasses in the pasture and fills her milk bag with sufficient milk so that the cowherdsmen can milk her. Yajñas (sacrifices) are performed to produce sufficient clouds that will pour water over the earth. The word payaḥ can refer both to milk and to water.

Connection Does Not Require a Password Hello everyone!  To connect:  it is something we do all the time.  We measure speed of connection. We measure speed of bytes and bits. We enter, and change, and re enter passwords.  If we are so connected, why do we feel so torn apart?   Authentic connection:  it does not require a password.  I'm Adela, and this is Just Breathe....You Are Enough™. Together we will deepen our connection with our ourselves, strengthen our relations with others, and re-think together how we connect with our world. To friend people; to unfriend people:  thank you for joining us as we explore what it is “to connect”. Students in my class on “how to cope with hard things” recently said, “Social media, and the access to information that we have through the Internet, mean that we can access so much information that it is difficult to be able to hear anything with any kind of depth or any kind of substance. It comes in tweets and sound bites. What people say is taken out of context.” If we explore reality by means of the screen - however big that screen measures for you - it can become quite noisy. If my email inbox is empty, I can respond immediately to a message. When it comes, I can be attending to the person I am writing to. I can enjoy the interaction and appreciate the exchange. I think my maximum e-mail inbox experience to date was some 3000 unanswered messages in the inbox. If there are unanswered messages in the inbox, it is as though each of those voices speaks to me simultaneously, and it is difficult to hear any individual voice above the noise. It becomes hard to answer anyone. What is it that we are able to hear above the noise? What is it that we filter out? My students felt this quality, that social media has so many voices simultaneously. They also felt that the internet gives so much access to information, but it is such very surface information that it is impossible to really know anything. They felt they are receiving access through the Internet to a great deal of nothing. I have felt the same way about TV channels:  a hundred times nothing is still nothing…. My students asked how to work with this situation when the attention is drawn in so many directions, by so many voices, and yet, often, there seems to be so little being said. With all this on-line talking, so many people feel that they can never really be heard. The on-line talking:  it does seem, often, to be a great deal of noise. I have the sense that, in some way, the noise is itself a kind of scream, a collective human scream trying to be heard in advertisements for black Friday sales and news stories of the most recent way we cause each other harm. Sometimes, the interacting with life through a screen of some kind serves, in some ways, to mask one's own scream. How is it possible to have such high speed connection and yet feel so unheard, disconnected, and alone? I offer for our consideration that connection – of a kind that feeds us deeply - does not require a password. True connection happens by means of the stillness, by means of the silence, and not through the sound. Hindu tradition knows the word “bhakti”.  It is often rendered in English as “love”. Most commonly, it is used to name a relationship between a Hindu practitioner and one of the Hindu deities - such as Krishna, for example - where there is a love relationship between the two. So this idea of “love” is also closely associated with respect, honour and devotion, and a deep spiritual connection which describes a form of “worship”, in the literal sense of treating something – or someone - in a way which acknowledges its “worthiness”, or worth. The Hindu idea of “bhakti”, or love, understood as this kind of deep spiritual connection, grows out of a thousand year older idea of worship named by the Sanskrit verb “YAJ-“, to offer, to show worthiness by giving. The noun “yajna” names the ancient Indian fire offering. Food was placed on the fire in order that the smoke would carry it up to the realm of the gods. It is connecting in a deep spiritual way by means of offering, by means of giving. We honour, respect and love by giving offerings that represent the offering of the self. All offerings given to the one we love are offerings of the self. The word “bhakti”, or love in this deep spiritual way, is derived from the Sanskrit verbal root BHAJ-:  it means “to participate”.  What is the defining quality of this deep spiritual connection? It is to participate.  The Hindu deity, such as Krishna, for example, is experienced as participating in the life of the devotee. The devotee connects by making the offering, the gift, to the god. The quality of the connection we have with ourselves - the quality of the connection we have with others - depends on our capacity “to participate”. It depends on our ability for offering, with this attitude of showing worthiness and respect. How do we participate? Can we witness ourselves? Can we witness those we love as we engage the journey of being alive? Can we see…can we feel…can we hear the shifting, changing textures inside one another as we engage a journey, with life, together? There are relationships that I continue with the help of text messaging or the help of email. The means of connection, I would say, is less important than how deeply we are able to witness and perceive the experience of life itself as it unfolds inside of ourselves, inside of the one that we love, and in the dynamic of this shifting and changing relationship between these three: self, other, and the life itself that we share together. Long distance face time and phone calls can be a way to deeply connect in the same way that such gadgets with screens can also be a way to cover up and mask our screams. I would say it is not the vehicle of this sound, but rather the texture of the silence, which indicates how deeply are we able to hear one another, how deeply are we able to see and be heard. Can we participate with each other as we engage the experience of life itself together? The gadgets – the phones and such, the objects themselves – are, in theory, very neutral. It is how we engage them that is either skillful or unskillful, that either builds our connections or builds our walls…as thick and deep as fire walls. Often, I find that the depth, and subtlety, and texture of connecting is more complete, however, if an interaction does take place as people without the intermediary of keyboards or screens. True connection - the participating –  often happens most articulately, I find, in a sharing of silence that comes from a being together in person. What we most need to say, what most deeply needs to be heard, often doesn't require words at all. It does require a connecting to life itself as we bear witness to it in our experience of ourselves, and others, as persons participating in being alive together. It is not mechanical, although from time to time it may suffer from system breakdowns, or communication system errors that may require a type of re-start, as we find one another again after a period of harshness or distance. The finding of one another again happens, though, not by means of a password.  It happens by means of the giving and receiving of an open heart and an open hand. The Hindu idea of “bhakti” – honour, respect, devotion, showing “worthiness” and love - is seated, as I have said, in the ancient Indian ritual fire offering:  the offering of life-giving foods on the fire so that it would be carried by the smoke to the gods. All First Nations traditions in my awareness, and many contemporary practice traditions, also will make a smoke or incense offering of some kind to connect with spirit. The first nations land in Canada that I am speaking to you from is Mikmaq land.  Here, by tradition, it would be a sage, cedar or a sweet grass offering made with fire, and one would give tobacco. We connect to one another, we connect to the spirit of one another, by means of giving. In old India, they said, the capacity to give of one’s self defines what it is to be human:  of all the animals susceptible to being offered in the fire offering only, the human can both give and be that which is given. There is no evidence in the ancient literature that humans were ever literally offered on the fire to the gods. It is a tradition where food stuffs, that which gives life – rice, barley, milk, clarified butter or ghee, the sweetness of honey - all of these are understood as being symbolically representative of the person. Anything that we give, with an attitude of honour, respect and devotion, we give as an offering of ourselves. It is a giving of ourselves, a letting go of ourselves, in order to permit the deep, spiritual connection to take place. We give and receive with an open hand. This is what it is to connect: to give and receive with the open heart and open hand, to offer one's self in stillness and silence as we bear witness to the unfolding of life in ourselves and in those that we love. It is perhaps the attitude of honor, the sense of respect for ourselves and others that characterizes the quality of deep connection. We honor life when we hear what is said in the silence beyond words. If you are feeling hollow, empty or disconnected, unseen and unheard - that there is noise in the online world that smothers, or covers, or silences - if you feel alone, and it is not clear to you who would receive what you have to give with your outstretched hand, if this quality of online connecting is so noisy, it leaves the inside feeling fragmented and somehow disconnected or falling apart…. I bow and humbly offer the suggestion that you seek a way to connect to the natural world. We can do this in natural landscape. We can do this in a human landscape. As we come to the semester’s end, many of the students in my class who posed the question will finish time of service or volunteer work that they are doing in hospitals, in daycare centers, or with senior citizens. You could find a way to connect like that as well. It would also be possible to find volunteer opportunities in animal shelters, for example, if you feel inspired to offer kindness to the four-footed ones and somehow feel shy to offer kindness to two-footed ones. Connect to life itself by bearing witness, by participating, in the experience of living. Fostering and supporting life in others will help you to feel fostered and supported. Connecting to life itself through our experience of others can help our inside fragments to begin to feel whole again. As we reconnect to life in the outside world, we reconnect to life in the inside world. If this volunteer activity is not a fit for you in your context, then feed birds:  offer food, as an offering to life itself, and let it be carried through the skies.   Foster and support life of the winged-ones.  Walk in the woods. Look at the stars.  Water plants.  Make offering of life itself, in some way, to that which is alive. By this honor and respect of life, we ourselves will come to feel more deeply honored and respected. In this silence, bearing witness to the unfolding of life itself, we ourselves will come to feel more deeply heard.

Shrimad Bhagavata Mahapurana Synopsis of the Fourth Session Bhagavata Pratham Skanda (Book One) Chapter 1 to 6 ————— We bow our heads to the Transcendent Reality, from whom the universe springs up, in whom it abides and into whom it returns.  This age of Kali takes away the purity of peoples heart and is thus difficult to conquer. We turn to you, who confides even his profoundest secrets to their beloved devotees.  ————— Story:  The session started with a story of a King who wanted to know the secret of the bliss possessed by a ‘poor Gaadivan'. He approached him multiple times, but the Gaadivan refused to impart. Till one day the King came as a nobody, waited as a nobody, and sat down as a nobody. When he emptied himself of his lower self and ego, the Gaaidvan made him sit and shared his secret of ‘Never ending bliss'. We enter ‘Shrimad Bhagavata Mahapurana', as a nobody and bring our hearts to Naimisharanya where Shaunakji and his various disciples are listening to Sutadevji. They want to know more about Narad Muni, the boundless Sage.  Narad Muni, is the mind born son of Brahma. It all started when the divine desired creation, when Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh came into existance. After thousands of years of mañana Brahma opened his eyes and came along Narad Muni and many others from his mind. His cycle of decent or ascent, would leave this decision on you, started with a curse from Brahma, when Narad Muni refused to enter the ‘Grahasth Ashram', and desired to just go around singing the glories of the Lord.  - He first became a Gandharva and after being cursed again - He was born as a maid servants son Here, he had the opportunity at a tender age of 5 to serve, holy men during their period of ‘Shetra Vanvas' during the rainy chaturmas. Their company and eating parshad ignited in him the longing for God.  What followed, was a tragedy or blessing, again I leave it on you to decide. For, categorising an event as good or bad is a subjective matter. The saints left, and soon after he lost his mother also. He at this little age started wondering around in search of God. He got a glimpse of what he was looking for, only to be told he was not pure enough to hold this vision any longer and again in this life.  He devoted his life to purifying himself, gained Bhakti, gyan and Vairagya. He broke the Shackles of Karma and on death merged with that Divine and was manifested again as the mind born son of Brahma, the Mukt, boundless Narad Muni. Points to Ponder: One Becomes Many -  Supreme person, who is beyond it all, became Hari, Hara, Virnchi  This entire universe is made up of Satva, Rajas and Tamas. But, the one who made these is beyond the Gunas, rid of all cravings, free from vanity and jealousy and content at heart. He is free from name and form. He is the imperishable seed of various avtars. The avtars of the lord are numerous, all are nothing but the rays of the same divine power. In ‘Shrimad Bhagavata the following are glorified in detail; 1. The four unmarried sons of Brahmā [the Kumāras] also called as Sanat Kumāras.  2. Varaha avatar (Boar) 3. Devarṣi Nārada, who is a great sage among the demigods 4. Nara  5. Nārāyaṇa 6. Lord Kapila, foremost among perfected beings. He gave an exposition of the creative elements and metaphysics to Āsuri Brāhmaṇa. 7. Dattatreya, the son of the sage Atri. He was born from the womb of Anasūyā, who prayed for an incarnation. 8. Yajña, the son of Prajāpati Ruci and his wife Ākūti. 9. King Ṛiṣabha, son of King Nābhi and his wife Merudevī. 10. King Pṛithu who cultivated the land to yield various produce, and for that reason the earth was beautiful and attractive. 11. Matsya, The form of a fish. 12. Kūrma, The form of a tortoise. 13. Dhanvantari. 14. Jaganmohini. 15. Nṛsiṁha - The man lion form. 16. Vāmana, the form of a dwarf brāhmaṇa. 17. Parashu Rama.  18. Sri Rama, the son of...

During the life of Svāyambhuva Manu, six kinds of living entities were generated from the demigods known as the Tuṣitas, from the sages headed by Marīci, and from descendants of Yajña, king of the demigods, and all of them expanded their progeny to observe the order of the Lord to fill the universe with living entities.

lf one does not act for the satisfaction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, or if one does not perform devotional service, then there will be reactions to all one's activities. It does not matter if the reaction is good or bad; if our activities are not dovetailed with the desire of the Supreme Lord, or if we do not act in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then we shall be responsible for the results of all our activities. There is always a reaction to every kind of action, but if actions are performed for Yajña, there is no reaction.

Both the Lord and His consort are beyond this material creation, as confirmed by many authorities (nārāyaṇaḥ paro 'vyaktāt); therefore their eternal relationship cannot be changed, and Yajña, the boy born of Ākūti, later married the goddess of fortune.
