SB 4.31.18-5.1.12 Lecture: Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4 Chapter 31 and Canto 5 Chapter 1 by ISKCON of DC
Every species huddles close as a means of physical survival. It is a 'me-first' mentality based on fear.

As we transition into this new decade, His Holiness Badrinarayan Swami will reflect on Vedic views for the new year.
From a spiritual perspective, being another's true friend and well-wisher has a very simple essence: reminding others of Krsna. How that is best accomplished may take many shapes and paths, based upon time, place and circumstance. Join us as we explore friendship and spirituality.
This is a good question to ask ourselves at the end of the year. Or better yet, where do we want to go? And, are we headed in the right direction? We'll take a look back and also share some thoughts and ideas for 2020.

We hear of Krishna's greatness - omniscient, omnipresent, and completely independent. The cause of all causes and nothing is higher or beyond Him. All that being true, why does He identify as a little boy who is dependent on His mother?
Members of a visiting group of vaishnava scholars dialogue on the personal and impersonal understanding of God, and how it is resolved in the Bhakti practice and philosophy.

Understanding the super excellence of Gaudiya Vaisnavism - HH Lokanath Swami by ISKCON of DC
Among the many Puranas in the library of the Vedas, the Srimad Bhagavatam stands out. Through story and beautiful sanksrit verses it offers unique perspectives on life's deepest questions which can nourish all levels of spiritual seekers. This Sunday we will explore what makes this set of books so special and why they should own a shelf in everyone's house.
The self-identification of "spiritual but not religious" is a growing trend in the United States and abroad promoting the de-institutionalization of religion and a kind of spiritual individualization. Is it possible to be spiritual and not religious at the same time? What is meant by "spiritual"? And what is meant by "religious"? We'll explore a Krishna conscious response to this complex issue.
We might feel that spiritual life and emotions don't go well together. After all, the Bhagavad-Gita teaches that happiness and distress 'come and go' and we should tolerate them 'without being disturbed'. Yet, who are we without our feelings? Our emotions? Are they to be developed or ignored or both?
SB 4.21.43 - 4.22.11 Lecture: Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4 Chapters 21 to 22 by ISKCON of DC
The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret. Still, we will examine ways to survive and thrive in this most important phase of life.

Join visiting teacher HH Gopal Krishna Goswami as he shares inspirations on the practice of Krishna Consciousness and how it can help us find deep happiness within.
The great devotee Prahlad lists nine methods of devotion to Krishna. The Nectar of Instruction lists six things favorable and six things unfavorable for devotion. The Nectar of Devotion lists 64 elements of devotional practice. Nevertheless, without diminishing the importance or relevance of these analyses, we will present the argument that Krishna really only wants one thing from us.
To take up or continue a spiritual practice may, at times, seem daunting. How do we 'get it right' or at least be assured we are heading in the right direction? Visiting Guru, Giriraj Swami, shares with us the secret of a successful spiritual journey in Krishna Bhakti and gives us hope that we can all achieve it.
Sometimes the first chapter of Bhagavad Gita is referred to as "The Yoga of Despair", because of Arjuna's emotional condition at the end of that chapter. In the following chapters, Krishna's teachings relieve Arjuna of his grief and place him on the path to bliss. Using Arjuna as a model and as an inspiration we will look at how we can do the same.
SB 4.20.23- 4.21.5 Lecture: Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4 Chapters 20 to 21 by ISKCON of DC

We'll take deep dive into the ahimsa principle. How do we live in nonviolent ways? What do other traditions say about ahimsa? Are some forms of violence disguised as nonviolence?
SB 4.19.23 - 4.20.3 Lecture: Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4 Chapters 19 to 20 by ISKCON of DC
SB 4.18.14 - 4.19.26 Lecture: Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4 Chapters 18 to 19 by ISKCON of DC
Facing the reality of this world is the first step in spiritual awakening. Hearing from an Acarya helps us build on that. We'll listen to a short recorded talk by the Founder-Acarya of ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada, followed by a discussion.
SB 4.17.35 - 4.18.14 Lecture: Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4 Chapters 17 to 18 by ISKCON of DC
This lecture explores how we can follow in the footsteps of the Acarya by being an enthusiastic connector, not just an achiever.
SB 4.16.11 - 4.17.33 Lecture: Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4 Chapters 16 to 17 by ISKCON of DC
In this Sunday Open House series on Acaryas, we will discuss what are the qualifications of an acarya and how one becomes one.
An Acarya is 'one who teaches by example'. In simpler terms 'people hear what you do, more than they hear what you say!'. Krishna spoke of the acarya principle in the Bhagavad-gita both by calling Arjuna's attention to it as an important component of his decision making, and by living it himself. Join us as we explore the acarya principle in the lives of both western and eastern philosophers and revolutionary teachers.
Affection lies at the heart of the most intimate relationships. As one progresses along the spiritual path, one begins to feel intimacy with all living beings, seeing them as part of the Supreme Lord's creation. Affection is the secret ingredient in accessing a deeper connection with the Supreme, and most importantly, with one another.
Our spiritual practice is grounded in a culture of selfless love and yet we often find ourselves at odds with others. How can we minimize our conflicts and bring affection back to the center? How can we make it less about being 'right' and more about the relationships?
SB 4.14.42 - 4.16.10 Lecture: Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4 Chapters 14 to 16 by ISKCON of DC
Sometimes in our spiritual enthusiasm we forget to communicate our care for one another. Today we'll focus one the Gita value "affection" (priti)and ways of integrating it into our Bhakti practice.
Active service in a loving mood is the bedrock of the Bhakti Yoga practice. Does such service inspire genuine humility? And can we say that humility can deepen our experiences while serving Krishna?
Prabhupada, the Founder-Acarya of ISKCON is considered one of the greatest modern teachers of Krishna Bhakti. His early disciples saw him live the principles of humility up close and personal back in 1966. We'll hear from one of them today.
SB 4.12.37 - 4.13.22 Lecture: Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4 Chapters 12 and 13 by ISKCON of DC
Endings weave their way in and out of our lives. What do they bring and what do they leave behind?
Asking the question 'why' is very important - it saves one from following something ritualistically or simply giving it up due to lack of proper understanding of the purpose behind the activity. This talk brings up the importance of understanding the purpose of our activities.
Gauravani will share his journey in rediscovery of japa, where he finds an understanding of its value in our modern, busy, hectic, efficiency-focused life.
Although there are many 'prosperity religions' around, Krishna Bhakti is not one of them. However, how does one balance the accumulation of 'stuff' in the world and the many scriptural statements on renunciation? Is it either/or, or is there another option?
The Bhagavad-Gita presents a view that is not particularly optimistic regarding the prospects of the conventional pursuit of happiness and contentment. On the other hand, however, it highlights a spiritual path towards a life of pure joy.
We are often troubled by what we have done (or not done) in the past or what was done to us. We know we can't go back, but can the Krishna Bhakti process help us gain perspective as we live in the present and into the future?
His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada's Disappearance Day - Vraja Vihari Das by ISKCON of DC
We will hear about the overall structure of Bhakti Yoga but we will also learn about little understood aspects of the subtle nature of Bhakti's dynamics. Yoga i snot something static and Bhakti is not preoccupied with perfection; rather, especially, in this harvest season, they both strive to harvest greater and greater levels of loving service, and loving connections with the divine and all beings.
SB 4.10.30 - 4.11.19 Lecture: Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4 Chapters 10 and 11 by ISKCON of DC
What does compassionate action look like from the perspective of the Bhagavad-Gita? How does it play out, not only in terms of others, but especially in terms of our real and existing spiritual self?

In spiritual life, we need strength to do difficult things. Practicing forgiveness, taming the false ego, sensing our divinity, letting go when we don't want to. Where do we find it - the energy needed to live from soul values?
How do the teachings of Krishna Bhakti help us build community in the different parts of our lives? Join us to explore this question.

In this age of religious conflict, social unrest, increased nationalism, and ethnic tensions, and amidst growing distrust of any kind of organized spiritual tradition, does ISKCON and our members have a positive role to play? Is it possible to "bring down the fever" of tension and strife, either personally or as a community? Can anyone make a difference?
Lecture by Vraja Vihari das.
This Srimad Bhagavatam is translated into English from Sanskrit by the Founder Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, Srila Prabhupāda.
As small creatures in a large world our tendency is to seek greater and greater control over the world around us. What we may not realize is that by doing so we cut ourselves off from the power of our soul, the power of serenity, and the power of God's grace.
The scriptures mention four aims or goals of human life: righteousness, prosperity, pleasure, and liberation. In our bhakti tradition we add a fifth (and best!), goal to the list: love for God.
We all have to choose directions to take in life. They affect our future and we often agonize over them. Many of these decisions are not clear cut. There are trade-offs.
We will explore how to have a healthy dependence on Krishna during these times of uncertainty--a dependence that will bring us closer to Him

Among social reformers and spiritual teachers of the past, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu stands out.
Today, in a period of great cynicism, lack of faith in leadership, and growing tension between peoples and cultures of the world, Mahaprabhu offers us a practical formula for social renewal and self awareness.
There are many extraordinary benefits that come from chanting the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra, but in order for us to receive those benefits we need to endeavor to chant in the right way. If we approach our chanting not simply as a form of meditation, but rather as an encounter between the soul and the Divine, we will be able to bring a mood of heartfelt prayer to our chanting which can help us tremendously.

Today’s podcast episode is like the original episode in some ways. It’s not an interview, but rather some discussion about myself and what I’m doing at the Hare Krishna temple.
The wisdom texts of various spiritual paths explain the importance of regular fasting from food and water for spiritual elevation in consciousness. In this talk, we'll hear a scientific perspective behind this age-old practice and gain an appreciation for living into a healthy holistic spiritual culture.
Christy Freer led a kirtan on December 31, 2017, at the ISKCON of DC temple in Potomac, Maryland, to ring in the new year.
The intention and mood behind our chanting are the most important parts of kirtan. Can we find Krishna in the reflections of the material world? Does it matter what style of kirtan we are offering; contemporary or traditional?
I consider Anand dasa to be a mentor and a friend. We sat for a very nice talk. This is the last episode of 2017, and we discuss our hopes for next year.

Unlike yoga systems that encourage absolute renunciation of the world, Bhakti-yoga considers engagement with the world to be an essential component of our personal spiritual development. This is why, in the Bhagavad-gita, Krishna encourages Arjuna to engage with his enemies rather than leave the battlefield. It’s also why ISKCON’s founder-acarya, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, characterizes the core scripture of the Hare Krishna movement, the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, in a social context as “a cultural presentation for the re-spiritualization of the entire human society” that can provide “a clue as to how humanity can become one in peace, friendship and prosperity with a common cause.” In this talk, Hari-kirtana das will describe six principal ‘Vaisnava Values’ and demonstrate how we can translate those values into clearly defined strategies for spiritually uplifting social engagement.
Fear is an emotion we all share at one time or another. Where does fear come from and how do we deal with it? We'll explore what Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita about fear.

In this talk, Garuda Das will cover the Caitanya school’s theological vision of Rādhā: her relation to Krishna, her relation to Mahāprabhu Caitanya, her relation to the other gopis, and her special relation to all other manifestations of the divine feminine. But all this points to a very special mystical gift to us as Bhaktas: the most exalted attainable state of the heart.
Today I spoke with Cassidy, who I met sitting in the back of the temple room. He’s a young man exploring the world, and we had a nice talk. There is a brief mention of sex in this podcast episode.

When someone tells my teacher that they don't believe in God, he generally asks them to describe the God that they don't believe in. Surprisingly, many of them do so, indicating that their disbelief is rooted in particular conceptions of God rather than the notion of God in general. He is often able to reply that he also doesn't believe in that conception of God either. We will explore some of those conceptions and how the Bhakti tradition sees God.

Today I spoke with Jiva Tattva dasa, whom I see regularly on Sundays at the Hare Krishna temple in Potomac Maryland. We work together to record the Srimad Bhagavatam class, which meets at 10:30am Sunday mornings.
We get into a fairly involved discussion of the story of Prahlada Maharaja. This story is quite well known among Indians and Hindus, but if you are unfamiliar with it, it can be found in the Srimad Bhagavatam. It spans from Chapter 3 of the Seventh Canto, through to Chapter 10. http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/7/3
We also touch on many other topics. Jiva Tattva dasa is very learned in the scriptures, so there some times when I tried to rephrase things in layman's terms.

Krishna speaks to us all. How to tune into the voice of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in one’s ordinary, daily life.
Tolerance - "the ability to deal with something unpleasant or annoying"; the "capacity to endure pain or hardship"; the fortitude, the "mental and emotional strength in facing difficulty, adversity, danger, or temptation courageously" - constitutes an essential quality for those wishing to improve their spiritual life.
This talk explores the very nature of this world and how to be less disturbed by the ups and downs that it delivers on our doorsteps.
In February of the year 1999, 18 years ago, I went on a spiritual pilgrimage to India, to explore the roots of the Hare Krishna movement. While in Mayapur, India, I was able to interview a devotee from a town near Belgrade in Yugoslavia. Devyapati dasa was insightful, honest, and pleasure to be around. That interview is the subject of this week’s podcast.

Although everyone wants to love and be loved, we seem to find love in precious few places. For many of us, our loving relationships stand out like oases in a desert. Many persons may not appear to be particularly lovable, and many don't seem to find us particularly lovable either. The teachings of bhakti, however, show us how we can expand our ability both to give and receive love.

Today I spoke with Raghunandana dasa, who sometimes gives Sunday lectures at the Potomac, Maryland Hare Krishna temple, and who also helps welcome guests and direct things, much as an usher would in a Christian church. I’ve often admired Raghunandana dasa’s quiet competence and intelligent simplicity, and am grateful that he agreed to be on the podcast. We discussed Raghunandana dasa's introduction to Krishna Consciousness, progress on the path, the ultimate goal, and more.

These days, many practitioners of Yoga are aware of Bhakti. Those who practice Bhakti are aware that the greatest form of Yoga is devotion to Krishna, as clearly expressed in the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 47. But most Yoga and Bhakti practitioners are unaware of the hidden teachings of Bhakti in The Yoga Sūtra of Patañjali. In this talk, Garuda Das, who is preparing a translation of The Yoga Sutra to be published by Yale University Press, will explore some surprising discoveries of how Bhakti is most deeply embedded within the Patañjali's teachings.

Vraja Vihari dasa gives lectures on the Srimad Bhagavatam Sunday mornings at the ISKCON of DC temple in Potomac, Maryland. The lectures can be heard on the ISKCON of DC Soundcloud page here.
Prabhupada states that Bhakti exists at the core of all true religion. Building on this deep insight, Garuda Das, Ph.D. will show what is especially unique in the Bhakti tradition of Caitanya. Additionally, Garuda Das will disclose some of the secret dimensions of Mahāprabhu’s gifts that have yet to be appreciated by the world.
Lord Caitanya is the most recent incarnation of Krishna. He came to teach us by instruction, by example, and by experience. In this talk, we present the practical aspects of His teachings and how you can fill your life with them.
In this talk we explore how compassion is a powerful factor for relationships, as a discipline, and for society. We will also discuss how to broaden the science and practice of Krishna conscious compassion.
