This Sunday Satsang is on bhāva-rupa, or the ecstatic emotions of devotional service. There are 5 sthāyi-bhavas, 33 vyabhicāri-bhavas and innumerable ecstatic moods and symptoms. All of them are saturated with ecstatic transcendental bliss. This is the nectar of devotional service to Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Knowing these symptoms – which variously manifest in all stages of devotional service – enables devotees to understand their present situation in relationship with Kṛṣṇa and impel them onward in their spiritual journey.

Tonight’s Darshan is in two parts: a nice kīrtan led by Uddhava in his favorite tune, and a conversation later during prasādam. This is quite a wide-ranging discussion about all kinds of things related to our community. We want to maintain very high standards, especially in the beginning when we are establishing our core community. We are trying to build an alternative civilization that will last at least 1,000 years; so what really matters is to get the plan right before taking action.

The devotees have been doing nice kīrtans every night while I am working on the courses. They are taking turns leading and each one is getting stronger. Especially Kānāi, when he first came could not hit even one note, and now his svāras are so sweet. Anyway here is a sample of what we hear every night at the āśram.

This very special Sunday Satsang is about anubhāva or devotional ecstasies. Anubhāva occurs naturally when a devotee chants the Holy Name without offenses. Every devotee has had at least a taste of anubhāva, but we discuss it in detail. Having this knowledge enables us to better understand -and express – our experiences in spiritual life.
Watch the video recording here.
We want as many devotees as possible to participate in the Sunday Satsang program, so please make a time in your schedule for it, every Sunday at noon Santiago time. That is 10 AM EST, 9 AM CST, 7 AM PST or 3 PM UT. Here’s the link:

This evening’s Darshan features Uddhava Prabhu leading kīrtan with an original tune that he wrote while we were in Veracruz. It’s very beautiful and haunting.
