“Eagle Poem” by Joy Harjo
To pray you open your whole self

Circles of motion.
Like eagle that Sunday morning
Over Salt River. Circled in blue sky

Bhaktivinode, JDH 10: The […]

It’s late and my legs hurt. I just devoured a post bike ride/pre ekadasi plate of Vegan Mac n uncheese. I had a great yoga session at the studio. It was packed and I got the royal position of being right in front of the heater. Nice method for intensifying the practice.
After yoga Jason and […]

The process is simple, but the application is difficult.
Today I was sitting in my Baker Ballroom office speaking on Sri Chaitanyadeva. I tried my best. Each Sunday I have a telephone conference call with a group of friends where I answer questions and speak on various KC subjects. It’s my little secret. It keeps me connected to Krsna Consciousness and provides transcendental pleasure. […]

Brainwashing or Education? How Can We Determine the Truth?
From the March 1977 Issue of the Brijabasi Spirit by Taru dasa
What’s brainwashing? How does it differ from ordinary education? It might be rather difficult to come up with a precise definition since this word is thrown around with great abandon. Generally it implies forcing a man to change his beliefs against his will by […]
