Higher Conscious Club: Recent Episodes
Sri Radha Govinda Dasa
Welcome to Higher Conscious Club, where I will narrate various Vedic topics from the teachings of His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
Although the media are generally obsessed with violence and death, our perception of death and dying is superficial. Śrīla Prabhupāda observes, “As long as a man is in the full vigor of life, he forgets the naked truth of death, which he has to meet.” How can we effectively deal with our own death? In this essay (which first appeared in the old tabloid Back to Godhead, April 20, 1960) Śrīla Prabhupāda explains how the ancient teachings of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam provide a practical answer. The most intelligent man, however, inquires about what happens after death. Listen to my Narration from Science of Self Realisation by Srila Prabhupada.
Srila Prabhupada first published this essay in India, in the old tabloid version of his then-fortnightly magazine Back to Godhead (November 20, 1958). It contains the unforgettable story of "liquid beauty," in which Srila Prabhupada dramatically exposes the underlying principle of human sexuality. This illuminating exposition on the nature of truth and beauty is timeless and startlingly relevant for those in search of the Inner self.
Modern man's concepts of God are many and varied. Children tend to imagine an old man with a white beard. Many adults regard God as an invisible force or a mental concept or as all humanity, the universe, or even oneself. In this Narration, Prabhupada describes in detail the Krishna consciousness concept - a surprisingly intimate view of God.
