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

Our attitude should be: “You can be for me or against me. You can celebrate me or criticize me, but thing is for certain. I’m not taking off my garland. I know who I am. I am royalty. I am accepted. I am approved by Almighty God. I am valuable. You don’t HAVE to have […]
When it comes to faith in God, some limp, some linger, while others leap. We’re all going to have times where we are tempted to limp, but Here’s the key.
