Episode notes
Power Of Deep Listening
- Listening to the Bhagavatam with full attention is as serious as deity worship and yields deep spiritual transformation.
- Sanskrit even encodes this: a learned person (bahushruta) is literally one who has heard much.
Musical Chairs And Impermanence
- Keshava Maharaja recounts Kadambakana Nama Raj comparing life to musical chairs to show impermanence.
- The story teaches everything changes and eventually we lose our seat, illustrating death's inevitability.
Attend Fully, Not Casually
- When attending Bhagavatam classes, be fully present physically, mentally, and spiritually to receive its benefit.
- Stop multitasking and give undivided attention so the sound vibration can touch the heart.
