We were blessed to have our three young brothers, Daniel, Youseff, and Maurice, share about their time at the Southern Youth Retreat in North Carolina. And afterward, Brother Luke Harriman went over some of the great teaching we received that weekend.

The Common Ground Youth Retreat is set for February 21-23, 2025, at Camp Istrouma, offering a weekend of connection, faith-building, and fun for United Methodist youth in grades 6-12 across Louisiana. Organized by youth directors from the Louisiana United Methodist Conference, the retreat invites young people to deepen their relationship with Christ and each other in a supportive environment. Registration for the retreat (closes January 31st) is $30 per participant, covering meals, activities, and costs for speakers and musicians. Register here.  Question? Email us.

There's lots and lots of service, and you're qualified for it. Once you take more service for the saṅkīrtana movement, which is your legacy, the more you'll feel empowered. Please feel free to expand your services. You're becoming mature and thoughtful. You already have talent, and please take the baton. That starts with getting some service that's significant, that you can attend to on a regular basis to help expand the movement. And Kṛṣṇa will give you more and more facility when you do that. Please take the inspirations that you have and feel free to surrender to Kṛṣṇa. It's an option that Kṛṣṇa gives for everybody, and the more you take that option, the happier you'll be with yourself. The more you will find that Kṛṣṇa is already doing everything, and the more you give yourself and surrender, the more facility you'll have to expand your services. (excerpt from the reflections)

Just managing expectations is a life-changing experience, because we're the ones who develop our own expectations, and we can manage them. If you just think about managing your expectations, start with not expecting anything. I'm just going to be here, and if I get anything, then that will be fine. I give the example of book distribution. Don't go out and distribute any books; otherwise, you might be disappointed. Just go out to see what it's like to go into the bright sunlight, be there, and see what it would have felt like if you had distributed books. And when you chant, just see what it feels like to follow in the footsteps of sadhus who chant, and don't think I have to have anything from it. If you can manage your expectations like that, then once you adjust them, you'll find a completely different perspective.

Just take a circular motion around and you'll notice that, at intervals, the four great Āchāryas for the four Sampradāyas are positioned in little shrines around the temple, and you can offer respects to each one. And you'll see behind each Āchārya who their originator is. For instance, we have our Brahmā Sampradāya represented back there. We have the Kumāra Sampradāya, and so forth.

Māyā responds to our ideas about the material world, and then starts giving us: "You want this, you want that. How about this? How about what if I put this and that together and both of them, and know a little more, like that?" She tries to come up with the perfect package for us. Māyā can sneak into our life. Māyā means "that which is not." And for those who are awake, somebody who's in māyā, they notice that they've been captured.But for those who are captured, it's very hard to even see what's happening. So, the first—can you go back? One or two? Yeah, how māyā sneaks in. This is how māyā sneaks in, and she's looking to get in. The first way that māyā can come in is when we become prideful. That opens the door: "Come on in." Next, laxity. We become lax in our sādhanā, in our practice, we let our guard down. We're not vigilant. Then it's an invitation for māyā: "Yeah, it's no big deal. Come on in." The third one is justification, which welcomes māyā as a permanent resident. When you justify your condition, make excuses for the way you are: "Oh, it has to be like that. It's not my fault. The dog ate my homework. The sun got in my eyes." There are risky attitudes that open us to this peril, and here's one of them: "I'm advanced." When one thinks like that, we're opening ourselves. This is pride, and it invites māyā in. Another one is: "I am liberated. I can cut corners." This is entitlement, this idea that, "Well, I've done this long enough, therefore it's not important for me to do it. Everybody else can do it, all the neophytes or whatever. I've been here six months, so it's not so important. I'm independent. I shouldn't follow all those Maṅgala Ārati-going; they're just sheep. I'll do my own thing and be independent." So, here's how to lock the door on māyā. Would you like to do that? All right? 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.' This one did come from Benjamin Franklin. I found it was rightly attributed, and incidentally, he started the volunteer fire department. So, the two things kind of go together, don't they? Anticipate there's going to be a fire, and make sure you're prepared. So, if you change your attitude, and Prabhupāda writes in the Nectar of Instruction, that the quality of your attitude will determine the quality of your devotional service. So, the old saying, "attitude is everything," that applies in devotional service. Śrīla Prabhupāda said: "Advancement in Krishna consciousness depends on the attitude of the follower." Does anybody here have an attitude? How do you know? What does attitude mean?

kali-kāle nāma-rūpe kṛṣṇa-avatāra nāma haite haya sarva-jagat-nistāra In this Age of Kali, the holy name of the Lord, the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, is the incarnation of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Simply by chanting the holy name, one associates with the Lord directly. Anyone who does this is certainly delivered.

What's the overarching purpose of your life? What are the things that are most important to you in this lifespan that you have right now? It's kind of like when you do a strategic plan: you start with a vision and mission. Why am I doing this in the first place? And what does it look like when I'm successful? Those are vision and mission ideas. The priority list is fun. Don't make it arduous or difficult, and there may be overlapping ideas here or there, but don't worry about it. It's not so precise that if you accidentally state something in a way that sounds more like a goal, or the goal sounds more like a priority, you can play with it. It's your life. But the way I look at it, I notice that organizations that hold together have a sense of purpose. Looking in the United States, even if it appears to be going to hell in a handbasket right now, at least they know that it is because they have a constitution. It's written. I've seen it. It's in Washington, D.C., in the Library of Congress. It's on the wall. Somebody took the time. There was a conference. People came together, really smart people, and they said, "What do we want?" And they wrote it all down. They wrote it as they thought about it, and they wrote it as precisely as possible about what a good country would look like, what their main goals and priorities for the country, right ? Before that, there was the Magna Carta, where people said, "I don't like the way our lives are going, so let's talk about what we really want to do." They wrote it down. So the way I conceive of it is, each one of us has our own life to organize, and what better way to organize than to have your own constitution? Would you like to write a constitution and put it on the wall? And then if somebody says, "Hey, how about let's do this," you can say, "How about let's not," because it's not in the constitution, unless you want to write an amendment to the constitution. That way you're self-guided. And if you're not self-guided, then somebody else will just take over your life, and part of that will just be fear. You're afraid to do certain things, or you're guilty because you're not doing enough. But the more you're able to decide on what's most important to you and write it down and decide what your own life is going to be, I really do recommend making a constitution and putting it on your wall. Then you can say, "This is how I live, this is what's most important to me."

And so in that period of anartha-nivṛtti, you want to get to the next stage after anartha-nivṛtti. Then you have nishta, where, as is described in these verses. We've all been quoting 'naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā bhagavaty uttama-śloke bhaktir bhavati naiṣṭhikī (SB 1.2.18).' Naiṣṭhikī means nishtha. You know that word 'stha,' it's the same as the word stand. That's where it comes from. The word stand. You know you stand in one place or like you have an understanding, because it's clear to you then, and nishta means that you're no longer pushed by these urges that affect everybody in the material world. That's a miracle, and that miracle happens when you keep going in devotional service and practicing the basic tenets with good association and full faith in the Lord's orders. At a certain time, you start to notice Bhagavatam says, 'tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye ceta etair anāviddhaṁ sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati (SB 1.2.19).' You know what the word Tada means? It means 'ta-da'. It's like you're practicing. And then all of a sudden, wait a minute, how come I didn't fall asleep? How come I didn't go in the other room and grab my phone while I was chanting? How come I wanted to go to the Bhāgavatam class instead of watching a special on I don't know whatever there is out there. I don't know what all the offerings are, but this is by the mercy of the Lord. Because of your faithful adherence to the process of devotional service. And when you come to nishta, there are so many possibilities open in your life. You've crossed the great desert of anarta nivritti, which seems to go on forever and ever and ever. When you come to nishta, tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye ceta etair anāviddhaṁ sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati, you actually start to touch the śuddha sattva, which means the spiritual energy. And then from there, it's like you're pushing a big boulder up the hill. And when Ruchi comes, the boulder starts to roll down by itself. Ruchi means, I really want this. It's not that I have to control myself. I have to control myself not to run after Kṛṣṇa.

This is something that I look forward to, from the day this Yātrā ends till next year. It's something... This is our third youth retreat, Global Youth Retreat, and I look forward to getting to know more of you. And as I said, it's something I look forward to. It's one of my favorite things this year. And proof of that is that Prabhu and I give up our own personal retreat to be with you all. That's how much we like doing this. So, I look forward to time with you here in Calcutta, where we'll get to go to some of the places that are very important to us as members of ISKCON and disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda. And we know that from last year's Yātrā, it helps to bring all of us closer to Śrīla Prabhupāda and understand him more than what we just know about in his books. I'm here to serve, so if there's anything I can do for any of you, please don't hesitate to let me know.

When you look at all the books together, there's nothing wrong with that. If you look at them all together on one shelf, you might think, 'How could I ever read all these? Therefore, I won't read anything. It's too much.' So, I thought that at one time, and then I heard this lecture by a person called Brian Tracy, and he was talking about how to get things done. In the lecture, he said, any large task that seems to be beyond your capacity, you can break into small parts. And he called them slices. And then, if they're in small slices and you do them regularly, then, amazingly, you'll be able to complete big tasks. Sounds common sensical, doesn't it? When it comes to reading the books, I was driving home from somebody's house, and I was thinking about what he said, and I was thinking about all the books. As soon as I got home, I started noting down how many pages were in each book, because I realized that there's a finite number of pages. There's a finite number of pages in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, right? At least on this planet. There are other planets, higher planets, where there are more volumes. So, you can aspire for that too, if you like. And when I realized there's a finite number, I thought, well, let me get the number, because then I can divide it into small slices. So, I made a little chart with a little help from my friends, and it had a list of all the Prabhupāda's books, and then it had next to it time periods that it would take to finish each one. And I discovered that there was a finite number, and I can ascribe a certain number to read each day in order to complete within a set amount of time. How helpful on a scale of one to ten? You might say, 'Vaisesika Dasa, on a scale of one to ten, how helpful was that to you?' I'd say it was about a ten, because I immediately felt energized, and I thought, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to pick a number of pages I can read each day, and I know for sure that I'll complete it within a certain amount of time. And then I branded it. You want to hear what the brand is? Be a sage, page by page. And I took to this discipline of reading a certain number of pages a day. On a practical level, on paper, I have these flags that you get at any office supply store, and you stick them, and you can unstick them, and unless you get some grit on them, they'll stick over and over again for maybe hundreds of times. And so, what I do is get two of them, and on one of them, I'd write the number of pages that I was going to read every day. And on the other one, I put a little arrow. So, there are two flags that I used and still use.

If I'm talking to someone who's explaining to me something extremely valuable, like last night, I stayed a little later at Prabhupāda's room with some godbrothers, and one of them was speaking about some history that was very interesting. At the same time, a thought came into my mind: I wonder how late it is. But I resisted looking at my watch, because if I just went like this, how long does that take? Approximately.. Audience : Half a second. Half a second, my interlocutor would have then said, 'Oh, you have to go.' And it's that break of attention from listening to somebody that can suddenly change the relationship. So Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura mentions in his teachings on chanting The Holy Name of the Lord, the most important ingredient is giving attention. And there is a way at a certain point when we have become fascinated with the sound of The Holy Name, "mad-guṇa-śruti-mātreṇa mayi sarva-guhāśaye mano-gatir avicchinnā yathā gaṅgāmbhaso 'mbudhau," Kapila Dev says (SB 3.29.11) the mind will be carried along, just like the Ganges is carried and carries everything with it. And it doesn't stop for anything or anybody. It just goes 'mano-gatir avicchinnā,' no stoppage. But in the beginning, it takes a long time to stay the mind's tendencies to look at problems and try to solve them. And we do it even when we sleep. At least I do. I wake up like, 'Oh, what am I going to do about this or that?' But in the time of meditation on The Holy Name, Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura says, "Find the ways and means to completely focus your mind." And he suggests various ways and gives the directive that, "Find the ways that work for you." ------------------------------------------------------------ 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://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ (USA only) 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

How can he be satisfied in the self through this gratitude ? That is mentioned in one of the verses that Uddhava says at the very end of the Uddhava-gītā (SB 11.29.6), "naivopayanty apacitiṁ kavayas taveśa brahmāyuṣāpi kṛtam ṛddha-mudaḥ smarantaḥ," in which he says, 'When I think of you, Kṛṣṇa, the way you take care of me from within and without, I'm so grateful that I couldn't express that gratitude. Even if I had a few life spans of Brahmā, I wouldn't come to the end of it.' And based on that, one of our ācāryas says the devotees remember Kṛṣṇa's promise in the Bhagavad-gītā: "sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ. I'm here for you. I'll deliver you from all the problems. Just give them to me." And Jīva Gosvāmī says that the devotee always remembers Kṛṣṇa's promise. And in that, while we're chanting japa, we take the time to notice the conveyor belt. Just take shelter of Kṛṣṇa's mercy that he says, 'Just hand over your problems to me and take shelter of me. I'll absolve you of all these difficulties.' And then notice that you're not your problems.

If we look at our lifetime and our lifespan as a time to invest, if you stay in the market, no matter what you may be - 'sukhe duḥkhe bhulo nā'ko,' you may be happy or distressed. You may think, 'Well, I'm no good. I don't have a taste.' It doesn't matter. You stay in the market. It's not timing the market; it's how much time you spend in the market, and if you just stay the course, it's already chalked out. Do your due diligence and figure out that this is the only market that really counts. The other markets, there's nothing there at the end. If you go to withdraw your money—and we used to do this play back in the old days—where somebody was working hard their whole life, and then at the end, when they went to take all their money out of the bank, they had the wrong bank account. There was nothing in it, but this is the real bank account. So, all of you, the painstaking way in which you flew across oceans and time zones, had to go through security about 50 times to get here, poked and prodded and had to decide what to bring with you. It's an investment, and one of the investments that Caitanya Mahāprabhu especially recommends out of 64 different mutual funds or limbs of bhakti that you can invest in. He said there are five main ones. If you get in these, he said, then you're going to be spiritually wealthy, and of the five, one of them is coming and staying in the Holy Dhāma. So, congratulations to our spiritual investors who have joined here today. And this replica of Vṛndāvana is non different from Vṛndāvana, and that Vṛndāvana is marked by the mood of service and surrender to Kṛṣṇa, which is the only source of happiness for any soul.

This building is exactly restored to its original state. We were here when they were rebuilding it, and we met the devotees—so expert. They used all the techniques that UNESCO uses. I saw at Angkor Wat in Cambodia. I went there once just to see the temple, and UNESCO, an international organization, had big piles of stones or broken bits of wall and things. They would label each one of them so that they could put them all together, thousands of them, so they could restore it to its original state. And that's the type of care that was taken here. The stairs that we walked up are the original stairs, and anything that could be preserved, the original materials for this building, were preserved. When Prabhupāda walked up the stairs and met his spiritual master, it's not as if his spiritual master touched him on the head and all of a sudden he became liberated. It's not that there was some light coming from his eyes, from Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta's eyes. He spoke something to him. And what did he speak? He gave him service. He said, "I'd like you to do this." And Prabhupāda writes in the Bhāgavatam that the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is a manifestation of His internal potency. It is by that potency that one comes to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead face to face. Where does that order come from? It comes from those who have service in the paramparā. They've been given service because they approached somebody in the paramparā who already has service and said, "Please, can I have some service?" And service done sincerely always expands in the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. You may take on some seemingly insignificant service, and if you do it sincerely, it will expand. Not only that, you become famous in this life, and in the next life, you just go back to Godhead. That's the power of the instruction for service given by the pure devotee. So Prabhupāda was given that because the saṅkīrtana movement is an active movement. It means there's something to do, and it's based on compassion for living beings.
