Each Sunday Talk highlights a specific area of spiritual life. In these audio files, Caru Das (a devotee of Lord Krishna for 53 years), clearly explains important aspects of the Bhakti Journey with relevance to modern life.
“Fabulous speaker! I can’t get enough of Caru Das. Wise, funny, engaging, entertaining and you feel the truth and integrity of his message. Forget religion and preconceptions about the Krishnas etc and just listen to be uplifted. You’ll feel like you’ve rediscovered the long lost human codex or manual to existence and satisfying living.” Laura
Krishna had all that and more planned for us since the beginning of time. He had the steppingstones all lined up before we were born. We simply had to take our tiny steps of faith before our dreams became reality. In a purport to the BG 11/34 Prabhupada says, “The plans of the SPOG are […]
(Verse 2) Karna looks at Krishna, wisdom in his gaze, “You know everything, through all of time’s maze. The destruction is coming, I see it so plain, With Duryodhana, Shakuni, fueling the pain. Dushasana beside them, their wicked intent, And I, caught in the middle, on ruin I’m bent. I dreamt of the Pandavas, victorious […]
(Chorus) Wrong friendship’s a prison, with walls strong and high, Blinding your vision, beneath a false sky. Like Karna and Duryodhana, a bond built on pride, Ignoring the wisdom that truth can provide. Krishna’s own counsel, a lifeline so clear, But loyalty’s chains held him captive in fear.
(Verse 1) Krishna chuckles softly, a knowing sound in the air, “So Karna, my friend, you don’t wish to take care Of the earth as it should be, with righteousness bright? The Pandavas’ victory will soon take its flight. Mark my words closely, when battle’s harsh call, Brings five mighty brothers to stand strong and […]
Yo, Hare Krishna. Story ’bout a saint, pure and true. Haridas Thakur, name you should know, Chanting Hare Krishna, watch his devotion grow. Living in a cave, humble and deep, Twenty-two hours chanting, while others would sleep. Sharing that space, a slithering friend, A venomous snake, right there ’til the end… or so it seemed! […]
The lotus feet of our spiritual master are the only way by which we can attain pure devotional service. I bow to his lotus feet with great awe and reverence. By his grace one can cross the ocean of material suffering and obtain the mercy of Krsna.
KRISHNA loves to choose the underdog, the least likely, the ones others write off. It’s so important that you don’t let how other people treat you determine your value. Don’t let what THEY SAY determine your self-worth. THEY may not believe in you. THEY may see you as LESS THAN. THEY may say things that […]
(Chorus) That death bell’s ringin’, a constant reminder, We’re all slippin’ away, no time to be kinder. Every heartbeat’s a step, towards the final call, The bell tolls for thee, for each and for all. Don’t ask who it’s for, the sound you perceive, It tolls for thee, believe, believe. (Outro) So listen closely, to […]
Bhagavad Gita. Tesam Aham Sumdhartha (Swift Deliverer), “Krishna will rescue you from every trap and protect you from your enemies”. You don’t have to live afraid. Krishna has a shield around you, He knows how to keep harm away. And if it does come, He knows how to heal you. He knows how to restore […]
This little mouse, he lived in fear,Cats were his nightmare, year after year.One day, as a sage sat in trance,Body bent into the lotus stanceThis little mouse, with a nibble so slight,Chewed on the sage’s cloth with little bites!
