ISTAGOSTHI: Questions and Answers with Swami Padmanabha — May 11, 2024 2024 Swami Padmanabha

0:00 Swami Padmanabha shares our common hopes for today’s gathering and further reflections on the recent self-love in bhakti series of classes given in Alachua, FL.


04:49 Are we meant to search for a guru or will a guru find us? And how do we know when we have met our guru?


33:51 A not-yet-known listener joins in and becomes known


37:16 How can we harmonize the perspective that bhakti is very difficult, with only 1 out of thousands coming to know Krishna in truth, with the perspective that Krishna’s unconditional love is already coming to us.


01:01:45 How does “feeling good” about our service play out in a healthy way? What is our motivation for service if we don’t yet feel compelled internally and don’t want to force ourselves artificially?


1:19:31 I’ve been told that chanting or praying silently is impersonal. Is that true?
