Apni or tuk hero ri Kishori Radhey! December 2024

Watch video at: https://www.radhakrishnaprem.com/p/apni-or-tuk-hero-ri-kishori-radhey(A devotee says) “O my Kishori Radhey! Please look to Your side. Don't look to my side because ...... I have been crafty and ungrateful forever, and, O my Kishori Radhey! My sinfulness is world-known.But, (this is Your promise that) You purify the fallen sinful souls unconditionally. So, O my Kishori Radhey! Why have You forgotten Your promise (for this humble soul)?A newly born child does not recognize his mother. (He is ignorant and witless.) O my Kishori Radhey! He remains dependent to the will of his mother (and his mother fully takes care of him).Similarly I am also very ignorant, gross headed and worldly, and, O my Kishori Radhey! I am surrounded with the extreme darkness of stupor.(I have all the qualifications of being a fully fallen soul, and You Grace and lift all the fallen souls, then, O Radhey!) Why are You delaying to Grace me? O my Kishori Radhey! I just want to know why haven't You come to see Your pitiable child up till now?O my Kishori Radhey, even in the material world mothers are always kind (to all of their children), even if the children are spoiled. (So, please don't look to my faults and sinfulness, please come to me and make me Your own forever!)”Live recorded kirtan during the Winter Family Camp 2024 from Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple of JKP Radha Madhav Dham, Austin, TX.Song Credits:Song - Apni or tuk hero ri Kishori Radhey!

Importance of God's Name: Part 1

Watch video at: https://www.radhakrishnaprem.com/p/importance-of-gods-name-part-1Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji explains that the wisdom of Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj, who teaches that devotion through chanting the Divine names, is one of the most accessible and powerful ways to grow spiritually. If one chants with a heart full of love and longing, it can bring them closer to the Divine.The power of the Divine name is supported by quotes from sacred texts. For instance, the Bhakti Rasamrit Sindhu, written by Roop Goswami, teaches that sankirtan (chanting the Divine names together) is the highest form of devotion. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu also emphasized how chanting the Divine name can purify one’s heart, ease worldly struggles, and fill one with Divine joy.Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji shared the main understanding that the Divine name is even more powerful than God Himself. For example, a story is told where Satyabhama, a devotee of Krishna, learns that the name has greater potency than Krishna Himself. This is because the Divine name has the ability to transcend the material world. This is why it’s so central in the practice of devotion.By sincerely and constantly remembering God’s name, one can purify their heart and overcome the distractions of the material world. Devotion to the Divine name provides a path to spiritual fulfillment and bliss.Memorable Quotes from the Discourse:* "All we have to do is call out to Sri Radha Krishna through Their Divine names with a heart filled with yearning and longing."* "The Divine name purifies the mirror of our heart. It subsides the agonizing fire of the material mind. It develops the cool effulgence of Divine love. It brings forth Divine knowledge. And it sprouts the bliss of Krishna love that brings contentment, satisfaction, inner joy at every step of our life."* "The Divine name of God is the only truth in this world. Everything else is an illusion."* "The Divine name of God is greater than God Himself. Greater than God Himself? Yes, it is greater than God Himself, but not from the perspective of philosophy. Siddhant remains the same. It does not change. But from the point of view, from the perspective of our benefit, our devotional benefit, the Divine name of God is greater."* "In this age of Kalyug, it is only the Divine name that prevails."* "There is this huge, vast, endless ocean of maya. And in this ocean, there is a refuge. And what is that? It's the Divine name of God. It is a boat in this vast ocean of maya, the Divine name of God. So if we take refuge in that Divine name, then it will get us across. We will be able to cross this ocean of maya and reach Shri Krishna.”* "If we bring the Divine name of God in our heart and remember that Divine name with love and affection and affinity, then not only this life, our future life will also become devotionally prosperous."* "God himself cannot describe the greatness of his own Divine name."These quotes all highlight the significance of chanting God's name and the power of devotion in spiritual practices.Please watch the video or read the transcript to fully grasp the essence of the discourse.

Is the Mind a Master or a Servant?

Wath video at: https://www.radhakrishnaprem.com/p/is-the-mind-a-master-or-a-servantSushree Diwakari Devi Ji addresses the challenge of controlling the mind on the spiritual journey. On the spiritual journey, many of us struggle with controlling our minds. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna tells Arjun, "You must give your mind to Me and your intellect to Me." The mind has two states: thinking (man) and decision-making (buddhi). The analogy of a chariot is used: the human body is the chariot, the horses are the sense organs, the reins are the mind, the intellect is the charioteer, and the soul is the passenger.The mind is like a servant to the intellect. It must follow the intellect’s guidance. Even when we don’t feel like it, we still perform tasks because the intellect has decided we must. The mind cannot revolt against the intellect's decisions. Didi Ji says our minds are conditioned to believe happiness lies in material pursuits, like a worm returning to filth. This happens because "the mind is accustomed to loving the hollow and illusionary pleasures of this world."There’s a story where a disciple asked his Guru why he couldn't focus on meditation, even though he tried hard. The Guru showed him how the mind, just like an insect, is conditioned to seek out what it knows, even if it's harmful. The reason we struggle to meditate is that the intellect still believes "happiness... exists in material things." To overcome this, we need to train the intellect to understand that "true happiness lies in God." Once the intellect understands this truth, the mind will naturally follow its guidance.This is why we must engage in spiritual practice, train our intellect, and align it with Divine knowledge. We have this human body to elevate ourselves, not to remain stuck in the cycle of birth and death. When we allow ignorance to rule, "our mind is our worst enemy," but with knowledge, "that mind will become our best friend." We have the potential to change our lives, and this is why we must use the teachings given to us wisely. We must integrate this knowledge into our lives to experience true joy.Memorable Quotes from the Discourse:"Most individuals encounter a common challenge. They find themselves troubled by their own mind. They lament, “Oh, my mind does not cooperate with me. My mind doesn't listen to me. My mind tells me to go to sleep. My mind wavers. My mind distracts me!” This gives rise to a question: How can one take control of their mind?""Shri Krishna tells Arjun, 'You must give your mind to Me and your intellect to Me.'""Arjuna thought, 'Well, I only have one thing, and that is my mind. And Sri Krishna is asking me and telling me to give both, the mind and the intellect.'""The same mind has two states: When the mind is thinking, when the mind is contemplating, it is called the mind or man in Hindi. And when the mind is making decisions, then that mind is known as the intellect or buddhi in Hindi.""The Lord says that I have, speaking to us souls, I have given you a chariot. And the chariot is being pulled by horses. In the mouth of the horses are the reins held by the driver or the charioteer. And on this chariot, there is a passenger.""The chariot is this human body that we all possess, that we have received with great fortune. The horses are the sense organs. And the reins of the horses are the mind. And the charioteer, the driver, is the intellect. And the passenger is the soul.""The mind cannot revolt against the decision of the intellect. The mind must follow the dictates of the intellect.""The mind is ever engaged in chasing the world and the sensory objects of the world, limited to our five physical senses. We're always chasing.""Just like this worm is conditioned to loving excrement, thinking there is nothing better. In the same way, the mind, our mind is accustomed to loving, to having affinity for the hollow and illusionary pleasures of this world.""The reason that you cannot sustain meditation on God is because your intellect has ruled that happiness, in fact, does exist in material things.""We have been given this body so that we can utilize this gift for our betterment, and to purify ourselves.""That's why Shree Maharaj Ji tells us that when we practice sadhana, we must reason with our intellect. We must contemplate, we must reflect. We must think what is most important to us and how can we experience that true bliss that true joy that we are consistently aspiring for.""Why else have we been given this birth? To keep to set ourselves up again, and be thrown in that cycle of life and death and reincarnate into lower forms to suffer for an immeasurable length of time? No!""We have been given this body so that we can utilize this gift for our betterment, and to purify ourselves."“That's why Shree Maharaj Ji says, “When we're overcome by ignorance, then our mind is our worst enemy. And when we avail ourselves of knowledge, then that mind will become our best friend.” So we can choose which we want

The Real Essence of Spirituality

Watch video at: https://www.radhakrishnaprem.com/p/for-review-the-essence-is-lostSushree Diwakari Devi Ji highlights that across all scriptures, whether the Vedas, the Ramayan, or other texts, all unanimously declare that bhakti, or devotion, is the easiest and most accessible path to realizing God. However, this devotion must come from the heart and cannot merely be about external rituals or physical actions. True devotion involves the mind, and it is essential to engage both the mind and the senses in the practice of bhakti. She underscores that simply performing rituals, chanting, or physical acts without a sincere connection to God is not true devotion.The focus is on the inner surrender of both the heart and mind to God, where genuine bhakti means devotion that arises from deep within, not just surface-level actions. To explain this point, Didi Ji uses the analogy of dipping a sealed bottle of impure water into the Ganges River. Despite being immersed in the holy water, the bottle’s contamination won’t be cleansed because the water cannot reach the inside of the bottle. Similarly, a person who only engages in physical rituals without involving the mind cannot truly cleanse their sins or achieve spiritual progress.Furthermore, Didi Ji stresses that just performing rituals without a mindful connection to the practice is meaningless. The real essence of spirituality lies in the active involvement of the mind, and this connection cannot be forced or superficial. She also mentions that if one follows the teachings of their Guru and applies those teachings sincerely in everyday life, that devotion will lead to genuine spiritual growth.In essence, Diwakari Didi Ji emphasizes the importance of a devoted heart and mind, pointing out that the external forms of devotion or spirituality are meaningless without this deep inner commitment. True spiritual progress depends on engaging the mind and heart in every practice, and that’s what leads to a real connection with God.Memorable Quotes from the Discourse:* "All the scriptures, from the Vedas to the Ramayan, unanimously declare bhakti (devotion) as the single path of Divine love realization."* "So, all the scriptures they declare bhakti or devotion as the easiest and the most accessible path to realize God."* "However, it must be done from the heart and not merely performed by our physical senses. Yes, of course, we can engage our physical senses, they are our helpers after all, but it must be in tandem with the mind. This is mandatory. It is imperative if we desire to gain spiritual success, make progress."* "People do kirtan- bhajan, they go on pilgrimage, they chant on jap beads, they do recitation of scriptural texts, engage in prayer. But what is the use of mere recitation of letters?"* "What is the mere repetition of words going to earn us? It is said in the Gita, “Surrender to me.” Who is saying this? Krishna. And who is he saying it to? Arjun. And why is he saying it to Arjun? To make Arjuna submit, to make Arjun surrender to Him."* “"Oh Arjun, you give your mind to Me and your intellect. You submit both to Me. Surrender to Me.” Yes, it doesn’t mean that we should just keep on repeating, “I am surrendered, I am surrendered.” Absolutely not."* "So upasana, or the word sadhana means to take our mind close to God."* "If there is a fire 50 feet away at a distance of 50 feet and you are feeling cold, yes, then what to do? Well, move 10 feet closer to the fire. Oh, yes, feeling better, much better. Feel the warmth. Well, move 20 feet closer to even get the benefit of the temperature even more."* "But if you are standing 50 feet away from the fire with your arm extended, you would most definitely doubt the presence of the fire. You will say, 'Well, I had my arm out for so long, but I felt nothing. The cold did not dissipate.' Yes, how can it go away? You have to move closer to the fire. Right? In the same way, we have to bring our mind to God."* "It is the mind that has to be submerged in Ganga with devotion for the Supreme God, overwhelmed thinking that I am bathing in the holiest of the holy waters of Ganga that came after washing the lotus feet of the Lord."* "So it is the mind that has to be submerged, and only then we will be able to absolve ourselves of our sins."* "This knowledge, it applies to any and every spiritual practice. We must practice with our mind. That is a fundamental teaching of our Divine Vedic scriptures."* "What do people do when they go on pilgrimage to Haridwar and to these places of pilgrimage to bathe in Gangaji? What do they do? They they only just soak their body physically. They go inside with their mind miles away."* "Wherever our mind is, that becomes the object of our devotion."* "It is the mind that has to be engaged in practice. So the next time we go to take a dip in Gangaji, we should do this so with our mind from our heart."* "The teachings that my Gurudev Jagadguruttam Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj has abundantly and so generously

Grace and Only Grace: Part 2

Watch video at: https://www.radhakrishnaprem.com/p/grace-and-only-grace-part-2In this discourse, Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji focused on the teachings of Shri Kripalu ji Maharaj emphasizing the nature of true happiness, spiritual growth, and devotion to God. Diwakari Devi Ji begins by explaining the fleeting nature of worldly happiness and contrasts it with the eternal, infinite happiness that comes from spiritual realization and devotion to God. According to the teachings, this happiness is found within the soul and cannot be attained through material pursuits.Nar tanu guru sang Govind RadheyPrem pipasa tino lakshya dila deDidi Ji says that Shree Maharaj Ji in this Doha reveals that there are three types of Grace: "nartanu" (human life and body), "Guru sangh" (spiritual guidance) about which she talked about in part 1 of her speech. The third grace is "pipasa" (thirst or hunger for knowledge). Didi Ji then emphasizes the rarity of human life and the importance of using this opportunity to connect with God through devotion and remembrance.The third grace, "pipasa," refers to the intense longing for spiritual knowledge, which is compared to the hunger of a beggar who does not give up despite rejection. DidiJi stresses that this longing, driven by an insatiable desire for truth, is the key to spiritual progress.The ultimate goal of the path is to achieve a deep connection with God, and this requires cultivating faith and love. Didi Ji concludes by urging the devotees to nurture their longing for God and to deepen their spiritual practice, as the blessings of God and the guidance of the Guru are essential in reaching the divine realization.The talk serves as an encouragement to keep faith, engage in devotion, and intensify the spiritual journey with the guidance of a true Guru.Memorable Quotes from the Discourse:* "Every individual soul, from a tiny ant all the way to Brahma aspires for happiness."* "Whatever we consider happiness in the world only depletes and diminishes with the passage of time."* "That happiness is infinite, it is unlimited, it is immeasurable, it is never overcome by death and sickness or illness, and anything like that."* "So Shri Maharaj Ji tells us that we have been running in the wrong direction."* "And in regards to naratanu, this human life, this human body that we have, been granted by God's mercy."* "This third Grace of God, it manifests as an insatiable hunger, a desperate yearning to understand and seek the truth."* "So knowledge itself takes the form of love, where an individual, an aspirant, desires to visualize, to meet God."* "So the obstacle lies not in God's Divine presence. No, it lies in the lack of our faith and awareness. That's where the problem is."* "So to really know God, all we have to do, Shri Maharaja simplifies it so much for us, all we have to do is just look within with full faith and conviction, knowing that he's already there."* "Devotional love is proof of knowledge, and vanity and pride are signs of ignorance."* "So, if you have found the true path, the authentic path, you can proceed rapidly on your path toward God. But if your path is incorrect, you may spend your entire life treading that path, but to no avail because the path itself is misleading."* "He's (God) easily accessible to the one who has a longing heart for Him, who has an intensely longing heart for Him."* "A true lover of God always remains in that intense feeling of longing and love for God. That ultimately culminates in the realization of God's Divine vision."* "So Goswami Tulsi Das ji says that knowledge appears as faith and according to the intensity of that faith, one desires to meet God. And that desire or longing is known as love."The wisdom shared through these quotes highlights the profound journey of faith, longing, and Divine realization. It reminds us that the path to spiritual enlightenment is not defined by mere rituals or superficial practices, but by an intense and unwavering desire to connect with the Divine. Through devotion, patience, and surrender to God's will, we can transcend the limitations of this world and attain the eternal bliss that our souls truly seek.Please watch the video or read the transcript to fully grasp the essence of the discourse.Please note that the transcript has not been proofread.

New Year: A Time for Self Introspection

Watch video at: https://www.radhakrishnaprem.com/p/new-year-a-time-for-self-introspectionSushree Diwakari Devi Ji begins by reflecting on how people celebrate the new year. While many focus on fun and personal resolutions like losing weight or saving money, Didi Ji questions if we've truly considered the passage of time. Every year that passes means less time for spiritual growth. She emphasizes that life is a limited opportunity to practice devotion and strive for spiritual progress.Reflecting on spiritual life is crucial; people often focus on material advancement, neglecting their spiritual wealth. Time should be used to cultivate devotion to God, a wealth that remains intact beyond this life. Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji urges introspection to assess virtues like humility, tolerance, and devotion, and to acknowledge the importance of using this human life for spiritual purposes.Didi Ji compares the attachment to the world with the attachment to God, stating that true spirituality lies in cultivating love for God, or "bhakti." The importance of reflecting on our virtues and vices is stressed to ensure we live a life that progresses spiritually. She reminds that human life offers the opportunity to elevate ourselves, and celebrating the new year should be about spiritual advancement and growth in devotion to God.Lastly, Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji encourages attending satsang more frequently and prioritizing spiritual fulfillment over fleeting worldly joys. This is the true path to lasting inner peace and joy.Memorable Quotes from the Discourse:* "We need to reflect on where we stand in our spiritual life."* "We are the soul, not this outer physical body, this shell."* "We should refuse to celebrate the new year frivolously."* "We need to think, we need to understand, God has given us intelligence."* "This human life is our only opportunity to elevate ourselves through spiritual practice."* "We always look for that experience in the wrong place. If we could only try seeking it in the right place, we would experience so much inner peace and contentment and joy and satisfaction."* "God has given us this vehicle, this human body, so that we can practice devotion and ultimately find solace in God's love."* "We need to think about tolerance."* "We have spent majority of our time towards material advancement and have earned nothing spiritually."* "We need to analyze where we have gone wrong and how we can improve."* "Spiritual wealth never gets demonetized."* "Attachment to God essentially is the core of spirituality."* "We don't need to learn... we already love. We are creatures of love."* "So when we cultivate that (love) toward God, then that is known as bhakti, devotion."These quotes remind us of the eternal search for Divine fulfillment, urging us to deepen our faith and longing, so that we may one day experience the boundless grace of God.Please note that the transcript has not been proofread.

We Must Renounce Worldly Desires

There is one mind. It is the doer of every action. It continuously creates desires day and night because the soul seeks real happiness, the bliss of God. The mind keeps making desires through the five senses to fulfill that innate longing for ultimate bliss (the desire to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch).There are only two areas - God and maya. Thus, the mind will create desires in only one of these two areas. If the intellect decides that there is no happiness in the world and that happiness is only in God, then it will naturally desire God without being taught.But presently:* Our intellect has decided that there is happiness in the world. Whatever decision the intellect has made, the mind has to work on it and has to create that desire.* The world is visible to us, and God is beyond our intellect. He is not visible to us. The mind gets attracted to that which can be perceived.* Our senses are naturally inclined towards the world as they are made of the five gross elements, and the material world is also made of the same five gross elements. Hence, they are of the same nature.So, no matter what the Vedas, scriptures, Puranas, and Saints say (about God), the senses cannot grasp them. However, the world can be grasped by these senses. That's why this mind easily creates desires for the world.Our desire for the true bliss of God will arise when we give up worldly desires. And we can let go of worldly desires only when it becomes firmly established in the intellect that there is no happiness in the world.To make this conviction of the intellect firm:* We must guide our intellect according to the knowledge of the Vedas and the scriptures. We must repeatedly contemplate philosophical knowledge. God created this world for the body. Both the body and the world are made of the five gross elements. The soul is Divine. The soul's happiness lies not in the world but only in God. Even Indra, the king of heaven, desires the position of Brahma because he remains restless, not having attained the true bliss of the soul.* We must also understand through our practical experience that our miserable condition persists despite attaining worldly pleasures thousands of times. Every time we acquire something in the world, we initially experience momentary happiness. Then, it keeps diminishing until it vanishes entirely, and after that, that very thing begins to cause sorrow. When we face problems in the world, we make desires for God. But when worldly people deceive us again by promising happiness, we move towards the world again. Everyone in this world is selfish. We should always understand that until we attain God, no one can desire another's happiness.Friendship or enmity also becomes firm by repeatedly thinking about it. Similarly, we must repeatedly believe that only God and Guru are ours. Our welfare lies only in Them. By such repeated contemplation of philosophical knowledge, we have to remove this conviction that "there is happiness in the world." When we realize that our self-interest is in God and Guru, natural attachment will happen without anyone teaching us.“Therefore, O mind! Remove the worldly desires from your mind and attach yourself to God and Guru.” When brought into the mind, these two pure entities will purify it. The entire world is filled with the three modes of nature and sins. Attachment to it will only pollute the mind further.If the mind does not get attached to God and Guru immediately, practice repeatedly. Understand the philosophical knowledge and repeatedly remove the mind from the world and attach it to God. By doing this over and over again, the mind will start getting attached to Them. Through repeated practice, the mind gets attached even to inert worldly objects. On the other hand, God is an ocean of bliss. By repeatedly attaching the mind to Him, we will begin experiencing bliss, and then we will never be able to leave Him.Please watch the video or read the transcript to fully grasp the essence of the discourse.Please note that the transcript has not been proofread.

Grace and Only Grace: Part 1

In this discourse Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji explains that grace is selfless, causeless, and beyond human comprehension, contrasting it with worldly acts of kindness that often have hidden motives. She emphasizes that true grace comes only from God or Saints, who serve selflessly without expecting anything in return.The lecture highlights the rare and precious nature of the human birth, which is considered the highest form of existence among the 8.4 million species. The human life offers an opportunity for spiritual progress, unlike animals that live by instinct and cannot perform spiritual actions. Didi Ji urges individuals to recognize the unique blessing of a human body and avoid wasting it on material pursuits.Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji compares the human journey to a drop of water seeking its return to the ocean, symbolizing the soul's longing for reunion with the Divine. Ultimately, Didi Ji encourages the devotees to act immediately in their spiritual pursuits, as human life is fleeting and unpredictable. The discourse is a call to seize the opportunity for spiritual growth, guided by a Divine personality, before it is too late.Memorable Quotes from the Discourse:* On Grace:* “Grace means favor without expecting anything in return.”* “Truly speaking, grace is causeless and it is selfless. And this is something that is impossible to comprehend in the world because anything that we do has a motive behind.”* “So only those who have attained that perfect happiness, that unlimited happiness, that immeasurable happiness can serve selflessly and causelessly. Thus, only saints and God can serve the souls selflessly and causelessly.”* On Human Birth:* “So this human body that we have is the highest and the greatest and the rarest among the 8.4 million species of living beings.”* “So he tells us after millions and millions of births, we have received this precious life. And instead of chasing material trinkets, leading this life in pursuit of material pleasures, strive instead to attain the highest and the greatest and the ultimate Divine experience.”* On the Guru:* “So through the help through the guidance of a Guru a true spiritual guide we can navigate the waters of existence and make our way back to the embrace of our Divine beloved.”* On Material vs. Spiritual Progress:* “So in essence, granting material possessions is not grace. Granting Divine love to elevate and to uplift is grace.”* On Time and the Urgency of Spiritual Practice:* “Shree Maharajji forges us forward on the path of devotion, reminding us repeatedly that time is running out, time is short. Yes. And that we should give up our negligence. We should grow up. We should get our act together. Because time is short.”* “So the opportunity to meet a God realized personality is a blessing beyond measure. And we should not, we must not let it go to waste.”* On Karma and Human Life:* “Simply put, these souls, these animals, are receiving and enduring their karma that they earned from those actions that they performed as human beings.”* “In contrast, the human life offers the opportunity to perform new actions and earn spiritual merit and this is what the celestial gods desire. They desire the privilege we have; they desire to engage in sadhana so they can also reach and attain their goal of Divine love realization.”* On the Ocean and the Drop (Spiritual Return):* “Oh, ocean, my refuge! My refuge, I am ashamed of my past transgressions. Separated from You, I have known no peace whatsoever, shedding tears of anguish day and night.”* “I have awaited Your return since the moment You first danced with the wind. And it was I who sent the river to bring You back to me. Now come into my embrace, for You and I are one.”These quotes encapsulate the essential themes of the lecture: the importance of Divine grace, the preciousness of human life, the role of a Guru in spiritual progress, and the urgency of engaging in spiritual practice to realize our ultimate connection with the Divine.Please watch the video or read the transcript to fully grasp the essence of the discourse.Please note that the transcript has not been proofread.

Even Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiv (of this brahmand) are captivated by the 'time' (kal), then where do you stand? Having received this priceless human body, why are you wasting it on trifling worldly entertainments? Like a deaf and blind person, you don't heed to the teachings and the warnings of Saints and remain infatuated in material happiness."Sometime soon I will start devotion," saying so (you prolong your time but you never do it. If you don't do it) your life will finish and you will be the most sorrowful person. You see in the world, that peoples' lives and fortunes are finished in a moment. Their whole world of excitements finishes in a flash.

Radhey Albeli Sarkar, Rate Ja Radhey Radhey Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji December 2023

Watch full video at: https://www.radhakrishnaprem.com/p/radhey-albeli-sarkar-rate-ja-radheyThe loving and lively Radhey is the Queen of my soul. Sing Radhey Radhey all the time. Remember Radhey Radhey all the time.Krishna comes to listen to the name of His Swamini Radhey Rani. O souls of the world, understanding the importance of the name of Radha Rani, sing Radhey Radhey all the time.Whoever sings Radhey name with love and affinity attains Divine love. Whoever loves Radharani gains entrance to Maharās. So always sing the name of Radha.Gopis left worldly ties and attachments and became engrossed in Krishna love. All those lucky gopis received the intimate love of Krishna (with the grace of Radha Rani). So, remember and sing Radhey Radhey.The sweetness of the loving leelas of Radha is known and tasted by only certain Rasik Saints, and those who have relinquished all of their worldly attachments for the experience of Radha's love. So, remember and sing Radhey Radhey.God Shiv, assuming the form of a gopi, entered maharās, near Vanshivat with the grace of Radha Rani and enjoyed the supreme bliss. So always sing and remember Radhey Radhey.Without Radha, Krishna would have been without any loving virtues, and there would have been no Divine-love conciousness on the earth planet.Radha is great and Radha name is great. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.Radha is the Bliss of the nectar of Divine love, and Krishna is incomplete without Radha. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.The blissfulness of the loving leelas of Radha Krishn are beyond the comprehension of gyanis. But the simple hearted gopis of Braj know that and experience the bliss of the leelas with the Grace of Radha Rani. So, always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.Those who do not chant and remember the name of Radha are wasting their precious human life. Life without Radha's love is only a reprimand. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.Radha is the refuge of destitutes. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey. Radhey is the uplifter of the fallen souls. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.Radha is the most compassionate guardian of all the humble souls. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey. Radha is the loving friend of all the souls. So, always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.Radha is the protector of all Her devotees. So, always remember and sing Radhey Radhey. Radha is the savior of all the fallen souls who are drowning in the cosmic ocean and who seek for Her help. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.My Radhey is very simple and innocent. Remember Her, love Her, adore Her and always sing Her name. Receive the real boon of human life by singing Radhey Radhey.”Live recorded kirtan during the 5 day sankirtan in December 2023 from Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple of JKP Radha Madhav Dham, Austin, TX.Song Credits:Song: Radhey Albeli Sarkar, Rate Ja Radhey Radhey राधे अलबेली सरकार, रटे जा राधे राधे राधेSinger: Sushree Diwakari Devi JiComposer: Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj LyricsComposer: Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji MaharajJKP Radha Madhav Dham podcast is available on various podcast apps.

Rato re Man Chhin Chhin Radhey Nam by Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji_December 2023

(A devotee says to himself:) “O my mind! Remember the name of Shri Radhey every moment.Not only Brahma etc., even the supreme Brahm, Shri Krishna, always remembers the name of Shri Radha. By remembering Radhey name and assuming the form of a Gopi, God Shiv received the bliss of maharās. The treasure of Radhey name, which is unattainable for the Vedas, is distributed free of any charge by the rasik Saints. When a person wholeheartedly remembers Radhey name with desperate humbleness, She leaves Her Divine abode and comes running to him. A devotee of Radharani says that (with the grace of the rasik Saints) I have received the priceless jewel of Radhey's name. Now I have nothing to do with the world.” Live recorded kirtan during the 5 day Sankirtan in December 2023 from Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple of JKP Radha Madhav Dham, Austin, TX.Song Credits:Song - Rato re man! çhhin-chhin Radhey nåm रटो रे मन! छिन-छिन राधे नाम।Singer - Sushree Diwakari Devi JiComposer - Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj LyricsComposer - Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji MaharajJKP Radha Madhav Dham podcast is available on various podcast apps.

Sadhana karu sadhana karu sadhana karu pyare साधना करु साधना करु साधना करु प्यारे । Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj / December 2023

Watch video with lyrics at: https://www.radhakrishnaprem.com/p/sadhana-karu-sadhana-karu-sadhanaDear souls, do devotion, do devotion and do devotion.Only by doing proper devotion you will attain your beloved Krishn's Divine love.The first step of devotion is to have full faith in the true Spiritual Master (the Divine Guru ) and surrender to his lotus feet.True surrender is to join your mind with the Divine Guru (obey his instructions without any questions or hesitation).Serve the Guru with your body, mind and worldly possessions.Obtain the true knowledge of soul, maya and God from the Guru.Understand from the Guru, your true relationship with your beloved God.Do not think that there is even the slightest difference between God and Guru.The most important thing in devotion is that devotion should be done by the mind, and not only by physical senses.Mind alone is the cause of both, liberation and bondage.First meditate upon the form of Krishn according to your liking. Meditation means lovingly remembering Krishn (Radha Krishn) while trying to imagine that He is present near you in His Divine form.Along with the meditation, sing the name, virtues and the leelas of Radha KrishnLoving meditation is the life of devotionWithout true meditation devotion is like a body without life.Whatever form of Krishn you like, imagine that form in your mind.Have Krishn (in your desired form) seated in front of you and then do the devotion.Increase the feeling of longing for the Divine vision of Krishn.Shedding the tears of love (in His separation) ask Krishn for His Divine love and Divine vision.Even by mistake, do not ask for worldly happiness or any kind of liberation (from Krishn).Do not have ill feelings for anyone, even in dream or even by mistake.Always look towards your own faults. Never look for others' faults.Detach your mind from the world and attach it to Krishn.Practice this again and again, all the time.Always desire for Krishn's happiness. Do not desire for your own happiness.Whatever is His wish, it should be your wish.Desire only for Krishn's Divine service, twenty-four hours a day.(Increase the longing for Krishn's vision to such an extent that) without His vision a moment should be felt like an eon.Recognize the presence of your Divine Beloved Krishn in every living and static being all the time.Feel that Krishn is with you everywhere and all the time.Never feel that you are alone (Krishn is not with you).Always think in your mind that Krishn and your Spiritual Master are watching all of your actions.Wherever your mind goes imagine that Krishn is standing over there.In your mind decorate Krishn according to your taste.Always keep the feeling of humbleness like a blade of grass in your heart (grass is tread upon by everyone but it never grumbles).Become tolerant even greater than a tree (a tree bears all kinds of harsh weather and behavior from people without any grudge and bears fruit for everyone).Give respect to everyone. Do not desire for your own self respect.When you inhale say 'Ra' in your mind.When you exhale say 'dhey' in your mind and remember Radha.Do not have attachment or animosity for anyone in the world.Always keep your mind absorbed in Radha Krishn and your beloved Guru.Always remember that this body may be taken away from you any moment (you may die any moment).Understand the fact that your desirous mind is your enemy and do not listen to it.Whether Krishn gives you His Divine vision or not you must keep on shedding the tears of love and longing continuously.Keep this faith in your mind that one day Radha Krishn will surely come to you (in Their Divine form).(You must know that) as much as you love Them, They love you more than that.Krishn loves the loving heart. He submits Himself to His selfless lover.Do not study many scriptures or listen to the preachings of various spiritual teachers (as it may confuse your mind).Drink the nectar of Divine love of Both, Radha and Krishn, as They……Fill up the pot of your heart with the nectar of Divine love of Radha Krishn and drink it all the time.The Divine nectar of Radha Krishn love is such that (once the pot is filled) it always remains full.Keep on waiting for His Grace, and you will surely receive it.Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj says that one day Radha Krishan will definitely Grace you and will come to you.Live recorded kirtan in December 2023 from Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple of JKP Radha Madhav Dham, Austin, TX.Song Credits:Song - Sadhana karu sadhana karu sadhana karu pyare साधना करु साधना करु साधना करु प्यारे ।Singer - Shraavya DidiComposer - Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji MaharajLyrics Composer - Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji MaharajJKP Radha Madhav Dham podcast is accessible on various apps, allowing you to curate playlist and enjoy episodes in a seamless sequence.

Shyama-Shyam dhama Vrindavan श्यामा-श्याम धाम वृंदावन / Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj / October 2024

Watch video at https://www.radhakrishnaprem.com/p/shyama-shyama-dhama-vrindavan-jagadguruMaharas leela is an extensive leela of Radha Krishn and the Gopis that revealed all the aspects of Divine love during Their singing, dancing and playing near Kalindi in Vrindaban. About 5,000 years ago this leela had happened on this earth planet when, on a particular Sharad Poornima night, Shree Krishn Divinely extended the length of that night to about 180 times, and, all the time, uncountable milions of Gopis ceaselessly danced and played with Him. They were so engrossed in that Bliss that that length of time felt very little to them.Radha and Krishn were in the center of the field of maharas and Lalita etc. Gopis were around Them. This pad is the description of a small section of the first part of the maharas leela when Radha Rani revealed the Bliss of the maan and pranaya state of Divine love.)Radha Krishn are outpouring the supreme Bliss of raas in Vrindaban.With uncountable Gopis of Braj, on the Sharad Poornima night, Shree Krishn is playing soul-catching notes on His flute.Hearing that, gyani Saints abandoned their relishment of the Divine sound, anahad nad, and relinquished their samadhi state, considering them to be an obstacle in the enjoyment of the sound of Krishn's flute.Radha and Krishn are Both singing and dancing, and, at the same time, They are also doing the Divine leelas of intimate nature.(Suddenly, during the movement of the dance as They come close together, Their adornments entangled and They came to a standstill). That side, Krishn's ear ornament got entangled with the tresses of Radha Rani, and on this side, Radha's besar with Krishn's got entangled with Krishn's vanmala.This rejoiced halt thrilled Their hearts, and Both, Lal and Lali, (standing very close,) are unentangling each other's ornament with Their hands.(Krishn's peetambar had slipped down from His chest during this period and so, the natural shiny glow of Krishn's body showed the reflection of Radha's face on it as Her face was quite close to His chest.) When Radha noticed the female figure on Krishn's body (out of Her extreme innocent lovingness) She considered it to be some other woman, and then She did maan.Lali Radha became irritated. She moved away and sat at another place, holding Her chin on Her palm and arching Her eyebrows in anger."(Krishn had no clue of this sudden happening. He thought probably some of His actions might have annoyed Her.) So, taking Lalita with Him, Krishn comes to Radha and, with folded hands and tears in His eyes and with a trembling heart, He propitiates Her to be appeased."Radha moved Her body, and turning Her face to the other side, She angrily says, "Holding some other woman in Your heart You are again coming to me."Perplexed, Giridhar Krishn is in a fix. He doesn't know what to do now. With trickling tears, He is simply standing. (Lalita had to think fast. She discovered that shiny glow of Krishn's bodv holds the reflection of the person standing close by. She thought that Radha would have seen the faint outline of Her own face on Krishn's chest and would have thought that Krishn was dancing with Her and remembering some other woman in His heart, and that could be the reason of Her maan.)(Knowing this, she quickly took off her choonari.) With the help of Lalita, Krishn used her pink choonari to hide the glow of His body.Radha, looking sidelong to Krishn (and not seeing that image again), felt happy. She smiled, got up, and lovingly hugged Her beloved Krishn.Live recorded kirtan on October 15, 2024 from Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple of JKP Radha Madhav Dham, Austin, TX.Song Credits:Song - Shyāmā-Shyāma dhāma-vṛindāvan श्यामा-श्याम धाम वृंदावनSinger - Rishina DidiComposer - Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji MaharajLyrics Composer - Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji MaharajJKP Radha Madhav Dham podcast is available on various podcast apps.

You have showered so much kindness on me, but still I am unable to realize the importance of it; nor can I ever repay You.I have come to Your door even though I know I am not worthy of Your Grace. I lost myself in worldly desires to the point that I never took Your name (or remembered You) even once.I am so guilty and sinful that I am not even worthy of showing You my face.Even though You have Graced me with this human birth, I have still not realized Your greatness. I am so indebted to Your Grace that I can never repay You.Although I know that You are the Divine benefactor of the entire creation, how can I ask You for more..........when I have not availed myself of what You have already given me. All I desire is to become surrendered to You and to have just one glimpse of You in my heart.O my Lord! I have nothing else to offer You other than my heart.

On the banks of river Yamuna where the grounds are paved with jewels, And near Vanshivat, in the Sharad Poornima night (of the autumn) when the cool light of the full moon is spraying its charm all over, In the winsome style of a humble lover, The enticer of Gopis' hearts, supreme rasik, Krishn, is rejoicing His adored Love, Radha Rani (with a desire to seek Her consent to do maharas as He had promised to the Gopis. Radha Rani looks at Him, lovingly smiles, briefly nods in affirmation, and disappears).Krishn looked around and found that the flowers of the spring were also blooming in the autumn/fall (which was the indication of the speciality of the occasion and the Grace of Radha Rani). His self-complacent mind was encharmed with the surrounding beauty, And the desire to do raas appeared in His heart.In the meantime, Kamdev, the god of love also showed up with his full romantic powers to try the self- complacency of Krishn.The sages of Dandak forest, Graced by Bhagwan Ram, The maidens of the hladini power, Janki ji (Sita ji), And the richas of the Vedas (who had received the Grace of Krishn), all of them, desiring to receive the Bliss of maharas, appeared in Braj. (They were called sadhan siddha Gopis. Apart from them,) The nitya siddha Gopis of Golok had also appeared in Braj as Gopis (and they were all anxiously waiting for that particular Sharad Poornima night. (The time had come, so, Krishn called for the Gopis and played a special note on His flute near Vanshivat.) Hearing the heart-enticing sound of the flute of their beloved Krishn, All the Gopis of Braj ran to Him, (and formed well organized circles for doing maharas). Like the lightning and the cloud, Radha and Krishn glorified the center of the maharas. (When all the preliminaries were done, with the help of His amazing power, yogmaya,) Krishn multiplied Himself into uncountable forms and joined all the Gopis individually. (Thus, there was a continuous line of one Gopi and one Krishn in all the circles.) (Now the maharas started.) The Gopis, and Radha and Krishn started singing soul-exciting songs in the classical style of various rag with heart-catching tan and alaap, With the exactings of the seven prime notes, sa-re-ga-ma-pa-ḍha-ni. At that time, the youthful goddesses of the celestial abodes also came to watch this happening and they were all sitting in their celestial chariots in the sky. The musical instruments that were used in maharas, like the cymbal, drum etc., were all well tuned and synchronized, and were producing a sweet, soft and loving melody.(Now the Gopis started dancing with elegant movements of all the five parts of their body.) Swaying, rolling, swinging and moving their body and slim waist, They are twisting, dancing, walking, stepping and coordinating their heels and steps with the sound and the beat of the drum (mridang). They are lovingly arching their eye- brows and are darting their sidelong glances (to their beloved Krishn). The lovely movements of the upper part of their body and neck, and the graceful actions of their arms, hands, and fingers appear as the dancing embodiment of love itself. In this way uncountable groups of Gopis are dancing with Krishn in the maharas.Dancing in the overtaking joy of His intimate love, their tresses, garments and the ornaments, Have become untidy and are loosely hanging on their body, because all the Gopis are inebriated with the intoxication of the personal love of Krishn. They are still playing and dancing with Krishn in an exalted state of the Divine and beyond the guiles of maya, And their jingle-belled anklets and resonant bangles and waistband are producing an exciting melody of combined tinkling sounds. All-apt in the loving plays, Rasik Shiromani Krishn, Is doing soul-exciting leelas and raas. With His heart-enticing actions and love- inciting words, He is playfully playing With the Gopis, (who are part of His own personality, in a Divinely expanded mono-dualistic manner), just like a baby child plays with his own image reflected in a large mirror. यथार्भकः स्वप्रतिबिम्बविभ्रमः । भा.). (The Blissfulness of the Divine leela of maharas is beyond the limits of imagination. Its surprising excellency could be a little understood with the fact that:) Even the birds and the animals of Vrindavan, who happened to glance at the view of maharas, were so enthralled with the lovingness of the scene that they were frozen in excitement, and, like a statue, they kept on looking unblinkingly;And the static beings, trees and plants etc.became animated with the Divine animation of the surroundings and felt thrilled (with the liveliness of the maharas that filled the whole of the atmosphere. Their hearts moved, and their subtle senses became alive. Overjoyed with the enchantment of the raas Bli
