Japa: Your Daily Appointment With Krishna | HG Vaisesika Dasa | ISV | 09 May 2026

If you consider advertising, how does it work? You have to repeat it. People say things over and over again. Also as mentioned, politically, if lies are repeated over and over again—enough times—then it just becomes an accepted idea from the repetition. So, that’s conditioned life. I’m repeating to myself various false senses of myself. From the Rāmāyaṇa, we have this profound example: that Kaikeyī is transformed from a loving appreciator of Rāma to someone who envies him and fears him because of Mantharā’s statements. She says it several times, makes several arguments. So, this is the repetition that’s going on internally; we’re taking it in externally. In this sense, the chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa is a reorientation, and we repeat it: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare Again and again we’re saying, "Kṛṣṇa, I’m Your servant. Kṛṣṇa, I’m Your servant. Please engage me in Your service." The mind says, "I, me, my; I, me, my; I, me, my"—it’s a lyric from a song—and we say, "Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare / Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare." We need that because the layering is thick. It’s been for many, many lifetimes—the misconception that I’m the center. But here, we’re putting Kṛṣṇa in the center, saying, "Kṛṣṇa, I’m Your servant. How may I serve You?" That’s a great relief: to come to reality. So, we can consider this therapeutic. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #makejapagreatagain #mantrameditation #chantharekrishnaandbehapy #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
