(Verse 1) Yo, check it, fam, listen close to the start, Vai and I, with aspiration in heart. To Utah’s plains, our journey we brought, A radio station, the prize that we sought. A concrete vision, a mission defined, To spread a message, connect humankind. Yeah, a substantial task, a mountain to scale, A broadcast […]

Not Big Enough
This isn’t about simply achieving what you set out to do. This is about accomplishing goals that lie FAR BEYOND what you currently think or even dare to imagine. It’s about TAPPING INTO a source of support and grace that can elevate your aspirations and manifest results you couldn’t have conceived on your own. When […]
Dry Seasons
As souls on a spiritual journey, striving to deepen our connection with the Supreme Person, Krishna, we inevitably encounter periods that feel dry and unfulfilling. The Bhagavad Gita, in its profound wisdom, speaks of the cyclical nature of life, of happiness and distress arriving like the summer and winter seasons (BG 2.14). These “dry seasons” […]
Getting Unstuck
Feeling trapped? Stuck in a career rut, a stagnant relationship, or watching your goals gather dust? It’s a heavy, draining sensation, a universal ache we all experience. We often wonder, “Is this all there is?” or even, “Is there some divine purpose in this discomfort?” That feeling of being rooted to one spot, unable to […]
Song: Rainy Season in Vrndavan
Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram, Ram Narayanam Janaki Vallabham (Verse 1) Yo, the Vrndavana forest, from rains it improved, With dates, mangoes, and blackberries, all sweetly approved. Lord Krishna, the Supreme, with His boyfriends so grand, And Balarama too, they strolled through the land. The cows, filled with new grass, so healthy and fat, Their milk […]
Song: Birth of Sankirtan
Then came the initiation, a pivotal phase, Into Krishna’s divine names, dispelling all haze. The essential process, for this epoch, He said, A conduit to freedom, where enlightenment’s spread. With the sacred mantra, Nimai’s spirit took flight, Chanting with fervor, bathed in divine light. A sudden rapture, a transcendental delight, Swooning in bliss, beyond the […]
Part of the Process
You couldn’t find any place in scripture where someone did something significant, they didn’t have messy places, times it wasn’t fair, times they didn’t mistakes, times they felt disqualified. But when it all came together IT MADE SENSE. They went from CONSTRUCTION TO COMPLETION. Here’s the key. You cannot properly judge the construction process without […]
Song: Invocation Sri Isopanishad
Yo, this ain’t no myth, no fable, This wisdom ancient, etched in time, eternally stable. Oṁ pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ, hear the cosmic decree, The Source is whole, complete, and so are you and me. From this fullness, pure and grand, every other form takes flight, Like ripples from a stone, variety from a single […]
Never Stop Growing
David DeWitt: Look around you right now, wherever you are: desks, tables, electronics, electricity, light bulbs, appliances, glassware, furniture, knick-knacks, artwork, paint, carpeting, buildings. All of those things require science, engineering, mathematics, chemistry, physics, logistics, expertise. Experts. Smart people. Smart people gave us all of this. Intelligence gave us every amazing thing that we see […]
Stop Your Striving
All striving is doing is WEARING you out, MAKING you feel overwhelmed; can’t sleep at night, have digestive problems. Take the pressure OFF. It’s not your job to FIX everything. You can’t MAKE people do what’s right, MAKE your co-worker like you, MAKE your business grow. Your job is to be your best each day, […]
Song: How Can We Repay You (If At All)
Srila Prabhupada How Can We Repay O! Srila Prabhupada, You crossed the rough seas during your life’s twilight, To bring living entities out of their material plight. A spiritual formula you took to one and all, How can we repay this infinite debt, if at all ? O! Srila Prabhupada, You made the Jaladuta and […]
Song; Burning of the Khandava Forest
(Verse 1) Yo, a fire sacrifice, ghee flowing free, Agni consumed it all, for all eyes to see. But too much buttery offerings, an overload, Left the fire god aching, in a heavy, bloated mode. Indigestion fierce, his brilliance declined, Only one curative came to his mind. (Verse 2) The Khandava forest, with herbs potent […]
Beyond Believing
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 […]
Song; Karna & Krishna Final Part
(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 […]
Song: Karna & Krishna Part 2
(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.
Song: Karna & Krishna Part 1
(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 […]
Song: Haridas & the Snake
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! […]
Song: Sri Guru Charana Padma
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’s Underdog
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 […]
Song: For Whom the Bell Tolls
(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 […]
