Becoming Krishna Conscious

from Rasikananda Swami · host Rasikananda Swami

In this soul-stirring talk, Rasikananda Swami (affectionally known as Rasik Maharaja) shares the inner science of becoming Krishna conscious—not just in practice, but in heart and mind. Drawing from Lord Chaitanya’s teachings to Sanatana Goswami and the deep insights of his Gurudeva, he reveals how real bhakti begins when we unite body, mind, and soul through śravaṇam (hearing), kīrtanam (chanting), and smaraṇam (remembrance). With heartfelt clarity, he emphasizes that chanting is not mechanical—it’s about engaging the mind in meditation on Krishna’s form, guided by the mercy of the Guru. “Your perfection,” he reminds us, “is no longer dependent on your sadhana—it is waiting on the grace of the perfected devotee who takes responsibility for your soul.” This class was recorded at the New Braj Festival in California on June 18, 2025.
