Turn Your Transponder On: Chant! | Japa Jolt | HG Vaisesika Dasa | 29 Apr 2026

When you are chanting, be aware that you pronounce the mantra and then let your mind follow each syllable carefully. Keep it in your heart that you are addressing a person, and let there be an underlying intention of service and connection. That’s very technical. Once, when a Malaysian Airlines flight went off course, nobody could find the airplane because the transponder in the airplane was not working. So it was just lost; still not found to this day. I was in a little bit of despair after hearing about it, thinking what those people might have felt like to be off course and untraceable. At the time, I was chanting japa, and I realized that my chanting was a transponder. It’s the ‘black box’ letting Kṛṣṇa know not just where I am, but what my intention is. Practically, people misinterpret our intentions all the time; or people don’t have the wherewithal to know what our real intentions are, or we may hide our intentions. Kṛṣṇa is the one person who knows all of our intentions, and this is a good time to align them in japa. It’s one of the ways to be fully focused: to use your intention to call out to Kṛṣṇa and just say, "I’m lost. I don’t know where I am in this material world. I don’t know where I’m going. I don’t know how to hold everything together, although I do my very best to do that." You can let it all come down at Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet through chanting the Holy Name, and just be very aware that Kṛṣṇa is the only one that can help us. So, concentrate that you're chanting; put yourself in a vulnerable position and call out to Kṛṣṇa. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #japajolt #makejapagreatagain #mantrameditation #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
