ISTAGOSTHI: Questions and Answers with Swami Padmanabha — June 1, 2024

0:00 Swami Padmanabha shares a few words on his recent travels and classes.

03:12 In trying to go deeper in understanding phrases we commonly use, could you please explain “devotional service” and “Krishna consciousness”.

18:06 In the purport of Srimad Bhagavatam 4.29.69, it is said: “when a person is fully absorbed in Krishna consciousness, his stockpile of material desires is minimized. Indeed, the desires no longer fructify in the form of gross bodies. Instead, the stockpile of desires becomes visible on the mental platform by the grace of the Supreme Personality Godhead.” Can you explain what is meant by “becomes visible in the mind”?

36:28 Rasangi shares her feedback on hearing the recordings from the RECLAIMING OUR IDEALS retreat.

38:50 How can we recognize when we’re thinking dualistically and root it out?

55:38 Comparison is usually toxic. So how can I understand it when the acharyas apparently compare themselves to others and lament for their condition?

01:07:15 If all of the limbs of bhakti are equally potent, why is there so much emphasis on chanting japa, and nama-sankirtan as being the yuga-dharma?
