Radical Personalism is synonymous with being as personal as we can be. This refers not only to the fact that behind every aspect of existence there is ultimately a personalized expression, or to being as personal as we can in our relationships, or to attaining our ultimate spiritual identity in eternity. While all these aspects of Radical Personalism are certainly true and a crucial part of this equation, in the stage where most of us find ourselves there will be another facet of Radical Personalism, probably the most important to embrace as current practitioners. That is the facet of carving out our full humanity in a way that fosters a unique and divine sense of being, which we’ll call sacred transhumanism.

RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion.
0:00 Introduction
3:36 In a group setting, does our capacity to be vulnerable effect other group member’s ability to express vulnerability? How can we develop our vulnerability?
17:12 It is easy to be vulnerable while at home with one’s deity, but it’s pretty scary to be vulnerable when you step outside. How can we balance our need for safety with our need for vulnerability?
33:46 Reflection on the relationship between authenticity and vulnerability in satsanga. And how without these two qualities of being is asatsanga.
39:37 Reflection on how devotional service is transformational and not just a matter of doing the correct things in a “text book” fashion.
46:16 Reflection on our capacity to be vulnerable as well as to receive others in their vulnerability.
52:11 Relationship between vulnerability and creativity.
55:31 Relationship between vulnerability and humility. Although they are the same thing, humility can be weaponized, and become nothing more than exploitation of someone’s vulnerability.
1:05:25 How can we discern whether or not our experience is real or if it is “speculation” or “nonsense”? Can we trust ourselves or do we always have to rely an authority outside of ourselves?
1:18:07 Why is liminality painful?
1:22:24 Is the inner authority Caitya guru or intuition?

RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion.
0:00 Introduction
4:10 Considering Mahaprabhu in Nitya-Navadvipa, what is the puja seva mood for Gaura Nitai?
22:56 Does Nityananda ever relate to Mahaprabhu as Ananga manjari?
32:12 Reflection about nonduality and how both nonduality and difference are necessary
46:25 Regardless of the amount of endeavor I make in my sadhana, I am still not seeing any results. I find this frustrating and disappointed. I am looking for a breakthrough to a more personal experience of Krishna as a person. And I am seeing that others who are more serious than I am are also not experiencing much of a breakthrough either. So how to understand this?

RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion.
Where there is light, there is shadow—and the guru-disciple relationship is no exception. Shadows can arise on either side, whether with the guru, the disciple, or both. The real question is how we acknowledge and integrate these human imperfections in a way that fosters growth rather than avoidance.
Join the conversation as we explore profound questions: What does it truly mean to be a guru? What does it mean to be a disciple? How does their relationship evolve, and what happens when the guru is idealized beyond reason? What is the highest, most beautiful potential of this sacred connection?

RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion.
0:00 Introduction
5:39 Where did we get the information that Radha’s month preceeds Krishna’s month. And what is the signficance
21:46 What is the right mindset when we experience something that could be considered neglect from a guru?
37:43 Regarding being more tolerant than a tree and humbler that a blade of grass, how are we meant to apply this? Is there a limit so that it remains healthy?
57.36 Verse 12 of Isopanisad states: Those who are engaged in the worship of demigods enter into the darkest region of ignorance, and still more so do the worshipers of the impersonal Absolute. This seems to contradict Krishna’s nature to reciprocate as people approach him. So how to understand this? .
1:13:43 Regarding offenses, compassion and forgiveness—if offenses are being committed by a person who has mental health issues, should there be unlimited compassion or are there proper boundaries to draw? And if so, how to determine them?

RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion.
Part of embodying radical personalism is reframing our conceptualizations of the tradition. One such concept is 'renunciation,' which has often been misunderstood, leading to many toxic patterns of body, world, and matter denial.
Join Swami Padmanabha and the Radhadesha-vasis as they explore the old paradigm of renunciation and reclaim what has been lost in its name.

RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion.
Join Swami Padmanabha and Radhadesh residents as they delve into the connection between Radical Personalism and Krishna Consciousness. Krishna is not just referred to as the Supreme Godhead, but as the Supreme Personality of Godhead—emphasizing His personal, relational nature. Developing a relationship with this Supreme Person invites us to cultivate our own highest potential for personalism, deepening our connections with others and with the Divine. "Radical Personalism" serves as a powerful reminder of the essence of Gaudiya Vaishnavism: a life rooted in deeply personal relationships with Krishna and all living beings.
Embark on this transformative journey.
