One Body, One Life, One Opportunity: Milking the Magic of the Moment - Devamrita Swami

When Srila Prabhupada came to America, he came to establish an entirely new frontier of preaching Gaudiya Viashnavism. No Gaudiya Vaishnava has ever been to America to establish this philosophy. It was very similar for Goswami Maharaj to go to mainland China to establish Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s Movement, a brand-new frontier, a country with over one billion people, a place where religion is in out lord, communism. In Mayapur about 30 oriental people from Taiwan came to Sri Mayapur Dham, simply to have the purifying darshan of Srila Goswami Maharaj. It became one of the highlights of the whole festival for all of us to see these people coming from the Chinese nations, chanting and dancing in the temple. Srila Tamal Krishna Maharaj, during Prabhupada’s life and after Prabhupada’s departure was the puppet in his hands, to do the impossible.  One of the most successful devotee communities in all of America and in all the western worlds is Dallas and Houston, large congregation, beautiful temple in both places. Those devotees there, year after year will personally trained and nourished by Srila Goswami Maharaj, two of the most important temples of our society in the western world.

Srila Tamal Krishna Maharaj is Puppet in the Hands of Srila Prabhupada to Do The Impossible

What is it that consumes our consciousness, above all else? Smartphones? Social media? The stock market? 

Nay, the yoga texts say. The greatest object of our infatuation is in fact: our own body.

And this seemingly irresistible obsession has manifested in our preoccupation with issues like body image, body positivity, body neutrality and their many relatives. 

Join Devamrita Swami as he explores how all problems can be traced to neglecting the proper potential of the human body, and the need for going to a higher level by understanding what is truly within.

Yoga Literally Means To Hook Up - But Hook Up To What? - Devamrita Swami

Agnideva - Montreal 2017

Stress and anxiety has a purpose. It’s nature’s way of telling you your life is off the rails, off track. Bhakti yoga calls for rejuvenation of the human spirit, when the human vitality is being used for its true purpose, then change will take place. Change (for the better) in the environment, in relationships, in the well being of all living beings.

Human Beings Are Way Off Track

Thriving In Chaos: Maximizing Your Life & Uplifting Others - Devamrita Swami

Trapped more than ever before in an already isolated, dystopian world, you may wonder: "Where have I landed? Where do I belong? How did the unthinkable become ‘normal’?" As winter creeps up on us, perhaps some of us are wondering why things are so difficult. The thought can cross our minds, "What would it be like to run away somewhere to get a break from all this..." But where do you run to? You are where your consciousness is. We are left with the question: what does the road to escape look like?

Join us for an evening of discussion with Devamrita Swami, world-traveling monk and Yale graduate, as he takes us into the realm of consciousness to find the perfect escape the heart dreams about. Make this time of great inner and outer turmoil an opportunity for the greatest transformation.

Gaura Mani - Gopi Geet Bhajan 23.11.20

To be congenial means tapasya. It’s going to be difficult. But when a husband and wife are congenial together with Krishna in the centre of their lives, service to Krishna, service to their children, service to the society, service to each other in reference to devotion to Krishna, then Lakshmi and Narayan are living in that house, not figuratively but for real. Lakshmi and Narayan are living in that house even if you don’t have deities, they want to live there with you because of your devotion to each other and even if you do have deities, and you spend lakhs and lakhs of rupees on beautiful altars, and getting deities made in Jaipur and calling all devotees to do the yajnas,  to install Them and abhisekams, and everything else, if you don’t have that congenial relationship of oneness for the higher principle, Radha Krishna, Laxmi Narayan, They are not in your house. They are statues in your house. Hare Krishna! Because They are going to be there to accept your devotion, they are everywhere. They are in deities too but They are not going to reciprocate unless you approach Them according to Their desire.

Principles of Marriage

Nityananda prabhu took this instruction as their very life and soul. Lochan Das Thakur in one beautiful prayer, he describes how Nityananda prabhu although He is the Supreme Absolute Truth, the source of Maha Vishnu, the source of all other incarnations, who is all powerful, he came with such mercy and kindness that he took the role like a human and he would go door to door and beg people “please take the name of Krishna. “bhaja Gauranga, kaho gauranga, laha gauranga” Take the name of Lord Gauranga, he has come with his mercy.”
