When hell comes to our doorstep, we had better stay focused. We may feel as if we're walking a tightrope, but we don't dare look down. And if we're believers, we know that God won't let us fall into the fire. Our steps might be shaky, but He holds out His arms says, "look at Me. Walk to Me beloved"

Happy Rama Navami🙏 Monsters, whether Ravana, Hitler, or Trump, have harassed peace-loving people since time immemorial. They create a world of hurt, but they always lose in the end. Good always triumphs over evil. It's a difficult moment in history, but we can fight the good fight. We can be kind.🌹

*to the melody of in-a-gadda-da-vida* In the Bhagavad Gita, honey Lord Krishna loves you baby

Rama Navami is tomorrow. In Gita (10.31,) Sri Krsna says: "of the wielders of weapons I am Rāma" Sri Rama ki-jaya, All glories to the holy archer.

“Man cannot be enlightened through any organization, creed, dogma, priest or ritual, nor through any philosophical knowledge..

Too adorable not to post. She's making sure you see the sign. #birdoftheday #birds #owls #adorable

It's Gaura Purnima in Mayapur, the place where Lord Caitanya was born. Here in America, we have to wait til tomorrow. That's 14 hours & 30 minutes for those of us in the Eastern Time Zone. 14 hours to finish every last preparation for one of the best days of the year. www.youtube.com/live/vwhSHS8...

SAMOSAS. That's all I wanted to say. youtu.be/7TBCSooH_88?...

Rama Navami is March 26. I confess to being obsessed with Sri Rama. He is both fierce and gentle. He fights when He has to, and His aim is always sure. He whoops His opponents soundly. But He fights the good fight for the right reason, recognizing the divinity of His foe even in savage moments.

This is quite good. It sets a fast pace and wastes few words. It covers a surprising amount of territory. Easy listening. Beautiful description. Some pesky mispronunciation. youtu.be/yj_-Ox2ZCJs?...

A deep exploration of human fallibility & the redemptive beauty of forgiveness. The characters flaws are revelatory. Each is either defending themselves or indicting others. Yet their vulnerability is endearing. The value of the series is in its advocacy of forgiveness. www.imdb.com/title/tt2249...

Who knew the Mahabharata could be summarized in four hours? There are many details missing in this congealed version, & a great deal of mispronunciation. Still, this short summary manages to capture the essence & beauty of the holy epic for anyone interested in a taste. youtu.be/bRvslxzFnT4?...

blessed truth speaks through absolute surrender
