No Matter What Happens Vote For Krishna | HG Vaisesika Dasa | Prabhupada Picks #5 | 16 Aug 2025

Do you know what devotee means? It comes from Latin; it's the same word as vote. When you vote for something, it also means to make a vow—to vow or to vote. When you vote for something, you put your heart into it. You stand for this. When we make a vow, the same thing, like, "I'm doing this, that's it." So, a devotee is someone who keeps his or her vows. There is something worth vowing for. There is an objective to life; there's an ultimate goal. And if there is, who wouldn't want to make a vow towards that? If one could point out—at least theoretically—that there is an ultimate goal of life and that you have time in this life to achieve it, why wouldn't you want to make a vow? Of course, it could be complicated, but in one's heart, one has to make a vow. And then eventually, the most edifying of all experiences is to make a vow to Krishna and say, "No matter what happens, I'm with you. I'm voting for you. I don't care who else is running, I'm voting for you." That's a devotee. And if you can make that vow in your life, then everything changes. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #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
