We have to believe that HE IS DIRECTING OUR STEPS and to go with the flow. If you are going to become a vessel of gold, you have to STAY ON THE POTTERS WHEEL and be willing to change.

Our message today is that “if you can dream it, Krishna can do it.” Prabhupada was talking about the freedoms enjoyed by Narada Muni, “Every living being is anxious for full freedom because that is his transcendental nature.

anta-kāle cha mām eva smaran muktvā kalevaram yaḥ prayāti sa mad-bhāvaṁ yāti nāsty atra saṁśayaḥ At life’s final end, with body cast aside, Whoever remembers Me, will with Me abide.

Krishna is the Iswara Parama, doesn’t need to look strong, doesn’t need to instill fear, doesn’t need to manage.. Krishna is that person than whom no one is greater or equal because he is the boss of Balarama

Prabhupada. “Crows and swans are not birds of the same feather because of their different mental attitudes. The crows take pleasure in a place where garbage is thrown out, just as the passionate fruitive workers take pleasure in wine and woman and places for gross sense pleasure.

Here’s the key: you have to give yourself PERMISSION to be happy. Sometimes we buy into the lie that we’re not supposed to be happy. We’ve been through too much. We’ve made too many mistakes. If we’re happy, people may not understand. Can I tell you? You’re SUPPOSED to be happy! Krishna CREATED YOU to […] The post Happiness on Purpose appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah .

When […] The post Not Big Enough appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah .

As souls on a spiritual journey, striving to deepen our connection with the Supreme Person, Krishna, we inevitably encounter periods that feel dry and unfulfilling. The Bhagavad Gita, in its profound wisdom, speaks of the cyclical nature of life, of happiness and distress arriving like the summer and winter seasons (BG 2.14). These “dry seasons” […] The post Dry Seasons appeared first on Radha Kri...

Feeling trapped? Stuck in a career rut, a stagnant relationship, or watching your goals gather dust? It’s a heavy, draining sensation, a universal ache we all experience.

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.

A sudden rapture, a transcendental delight, Swooning in bliss, beyond the […] The post Song: Birth of Sankirt...

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 fi...

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.
