CAMATKARA: How to Preserve our Sense of Wonder - December 2nd, 2023


Listen Later

Join Swami Padmanabha in Sri Dhama Mayapura, the land of ultimate astonishment, as he explores how to preserve our sense of wonder and keep our practice alive in the unlimited depth, unlimited possibilities and openness by staying in touch with the nature of reality which is itself ever-unfolding, ever-evolving, and therefore, ever-inviting us to a permanent sense of wonder.

“Rasa sara camatkara,” is an expression that reveals the liveliness of camatkara and the central place it has in the Gaudiya perspective. Rasa is itself something essential—mellow, aesthetic rapture, the juice of life. This verse expresses the essence of that essence of rasa as camatkara—wonder or astonishment is the essence of the juice of life. And Krishna is known as Rasaraja, the King of Rasa, and therefore, the King of Astonishment.

Swami Padmanabha connects wonder organically with a discussion of mystery, uncertainty and toxic certainty that is uniquely offered by Gaudiya Vaishnavism.
