Playing Hide and Seek with Krishna

from Rasikananda Swami · host 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.

Wiki Politiki with Steve Bhaerman iOM Radio Network - OMTimes At a time when political polarization, dysfunction, and confusion seem to be at an all-time high, and when noise and static seem to be drowning out sane discourse … the Wiki Politiki Radio Show offers a heartening alternative: Fun, laughter, constructive conversation, and insight.Its purpose is to cultivate the wisdom of many perspectives, and create generative conversations to help us work together to find real solutions to the problems we face … or as Swami would say, “Let’s bring left and right front and center to turn the funk into function, and leave the junk at the junction.”Each week on the Wiki Politiki Radio Show, host Steve Bhaerman (also known as cosmic comic Swami Beyondananda) will bring two “visionary, solutionary” voices to the show to offer their viewpoints, and then collaborate to find a wiser way forward. We’re not expecting our guests to agree about everything. That would be boring and unproductive!We do expect that by speaking Yoga Wisdom with Swami Satchidananda Integral Yoga Sri Swami Satchidananda is one of the most respected spiritual teachers and Yoga masters in the world. He is the founder of Integral Yoga International and Satchidananda Ashram–Yogaville. He opened the Woodstock Festival in 1969 with his words of peace, which sparked a movement and influenced a generation. His approach to teaching Yoga was direct, practical, and simple. His delightful sense of humor reminds us that the purpose of spiritual life is joy. (c)2024 Integral Yoga International/Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville, Inc.
