2024 Swami Padmanabha

0:00 Intro

5:45 In Radical Personalism, one of the things that is said about the guru is that they are a facilitator of potential. I have an understanding of what that means as far as a counsellor or coach but what does that mean in relationship to the guru.

24:57 I don’t see that you are wearing tilak and I am wondering why.

30:59 What is the best way we can share radical personalism with others?

50:44 It seems like there isn’t much interfaith dialogue with Muslims and there are some parts of scripture that says disparaging things against Muslims, maybe even Islamophobia. I am wondering if you have noticed this? Are there similarities between our traditions.

1:00:30 How should we celebrate Radhastami? Is there a correct way to do so?

1:09:46 Further reflection on Vaishnava/Muslim relations

1:14:49 Do we have any right to enjoy something that isn’t directly related to our Bhakti practice?

RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion.

0:00 Introduction

5:15 How to harmonize the statement that “A blade of grass moves without the sanction of the Lord” with the concept that He does not interfer with the free will of the jiva?

31:40 How to balance our responsibility with Krishna’s will?

43:12 Does “advancement” in spiritual life include the healing of our human dysfunctions?

58:20 Like Jiva Goswami envisioned that “Krsnas tu bhagavan svayam,” as being the paribhasa sutra, a reality around which all other statements and descriptions of God should be understood, it seems that the zeitgeist is currently calling forth another emphasis — Krishna has unconditional love for every living being and everything else should be considered to that. What are your reflections on that?

RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion.

There is never an end to the refinement of our understanding born from experience. Although self-love in bhakti is a "repeated" topic, it is none the less ever-fresh due to the speakers realizations since the last time he spoke on this, because we ourselves are not the same people we were before, and the hearts that are present draw out different things from the sensitive speaker.

Can we hear this message enough? Can we grow tired of the fact that we are a BELOVED of God?

RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion.

0:00 How can we present bhakti yoga so that people can relate to it and don't think we are weird?
19:48 In your book, Radical Personalism, what did you mean by the disciple should surrender proportionately to the guru's surrender?
43:47 We hear that Srivasa Acharya told Mahaprabhu that if he is not maintained by the Lord and goes without food for two days, on the third day he would throw himself in the Ganga. What do we do with that statement? Is it ok to endeavor for simple things like food and shelter?
1:00:50 We hear that love moves like a snake. I am trying to understand the snake-like exchange of when the gopis say all kinds of criticisms against Krishna while he is present, but then totally lament when he goes away. That doesn't seem very nice.
