Krishna Temple Talks

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 […] The post Song: Birth of Sankirtan appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

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 […] The post Part of the Process appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

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 […] The post Song: Invocation Sri Isopanishad appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

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 […] The post Never Stop Growing appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

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, […] The post Stop Your Striving appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

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 […] The post Song: How Can We Repay You (If At All) appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

(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 […] The post Song; Burning of the Khandava Forest appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

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 […] The post Beyond Believing appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

(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 […] The post Song; Karna & Krishna Final Part appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

(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.
