In this rich and heartfelt class, Rasikananda Swami (affectionally known as Rasik Maharaja) guides listeners through a deep exploration of tatva-jñāna as revealed in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, illuminating how the one Absolute Truth is realized as Brahman, Paramātmā, and ultimately Bhagavān. Drawing on vivid analogies, scriptural verses, and beloved līlās, he explains how bhakti uniquely harmonizes these realizations through personal relationship and loving possession (mamata) of the Lord. With special emphasis on Hanumān’s mood of devotion, the mercy of the Vraja-vāsīs, and the intimate love of Mother Yaśodā and the gopīs, this talk reveals why pure devotion surpasses impersonal liberation and yogic austerity. The class culminates in a powerful invitation to offer one’s love first to Bhagavān—transforming all other love into prasāda—and to walk the path of bhakti where Krishna Himself becomes attracted to the devotee’s heart. This class was recorded at the Vishnu Devi Mandir in Oakville, Ontario on January 20, 2026.
