BhaktiCollective.com SOMETHING FOR VAMANA DVADASI/"The above words of wisdom were spoken by Vamanadeva, the fifth of the Dasavatara (Vishnu’s ten incarnations), to Maharaja Bali. It’s one of my favorite verses regarding santosha (contentment), one of the niyamas in ashtanga-yoga as well as an essential quaility in bhakti-yoga." http://bhakticollective.com/2008/09/10/santosha-and-the-satisfaction-of-uncontrolled-senses/

A Review of Stephen Phillips' "Yoga, Karma and Rebirth" / Phillips rightly criticizes the trenchant world-denying escapism often attributed to classical Yoga, illustrating that it is both philosophically and yogically problematic. He rather embraces what is best in tantric thought: the idea that yoga practice is not me...rely meant for escape, but at best, to positively transform the world (especially ourselves as partsRead More

A very satisfying, encouraging and edifying review. I have never heard anyone explicitly explain Bhakti Yoga as a tantric path before, ( by engaging this world in a process of transformation and connection to God). This is an exciting time to be on Earth.

RADHANATH SWAMI ON SITA'S BANISHMENT

“This banishment of Sita, amongst people who have gone deep into the subject, is a very profound meditation on the loving exchange between her and Rama. This conclusion that I am speaking has been passed down for millennia. And how God and Goddess, male and female aspects, how they s...hared the ecstasy of

“Sri Rama said: Ever since I have been separated from you, Sita, everything to me has become its very reverse. The fresh and tender leaves on the trees look like tongues of fire; nights appear as dreadful as the night of final dissolution and the moon scorches like the sun. Beds of lotuses are like so many spears planted on the ground, while rain-... Read Moreclouds pour boiling oil as it were. Those that were friendly before have now become tormenting; the cool, soft and fragrant breezes are now like the breath of a serpent. One’s agony is assuaged to some extent even by speaking of it; but to whom shall I speak about it? For there is no one who will understand. The reality about the chord of love that binds you and me, my dear, is known to my soul alone; and my soul ever abides in you. Know this to be the essence of my love.” Ramcaritamanas, Sunderkand.

"Oh, My Master’s Lotus Feet Are Bittersweet" Kaustubha das

To honor the day I’ll share a poem penned for the occasion in 1986 by one of Sri Bhaktivedanta Swami’s disciples, Tamal Krishna Goswami. It’s a poem I find particularly edifying in understanding the nature of the relationship between guru and disciple as well as... the tension between the pains and joys of renunciation. It’s entitled “Oh, My Master’s Lotus Feet Are Bittersweet”.
