Playing Hide and Seek with Krishna

from Rasikananda Swami Hosted by Rasikananda Swami

In this emotionally evocative class, Rasikananda Swami (affectionally known as Rasik Maharaja) explores the mystical game of hide-and-seek between the soul and the Supreme Beloved. From Lord Brahma’s search through cosmic darkness to the Gopis’ divine longing in the Rasa Lila, we’re guided through layers of devotional evolution—seeking Krishna first for sustenance, then for love, and finally, as the heart’s only true Beloved. Rasikanada Swami reveals that the soul doesn’t truly find Krishna by effort alone, but by becoming so lovable He comes seeking you. With poetic insight, we discover that Krishna hides not in some distant realm, but in the heart’s sacred seat, waiting for love to awaken Him. Drawing from the moods of the Gopis and the fearless devotion of Radharani’s maidservants, Rasik Swami shows us that the highest seeker is the one who stops seeking and simply loves. This class was recorded at Samarpan Sanctuary, NY on May 19, 2025.
