"Though the embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, the taste for sense objects remains. But, ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness." (Bhagavad Gita, 2.59)

Having a successful meditation practice requires patience, discipline and detachment. In this powerful short video, Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya answers an audience question on how to rid ourselves of impatience in our practice of meditation.

"The inhabitants of the Vaikuṇṭha planets are described as having a glowing sky-bluish complexion. Their eyes resemble lotus flowers, their dress is of yellowish color, and their bodily features very attractive. They are just the age of growing youths, they all have four hands, they are all nicely decorated with pearl necklaces with ornamental medallions, and they all appear to be effulgent. Some of them are effulgent like coral and diamonds in complexion and have garlands on their heads, blooming like lotus flowers, and some wear earrings. The Vaikuṇṭha planets are also surrounded by various airplanes, all glowing and brilliantly situated. These airplanes belong to the great mahātmās or devotees of the Lord. The ladies are as beautiful as lightning because of their celestial complexions, and all these combined together appear just like the sky decorated with both clouds and lightning." (Srimad Bhagavatam, 2.9.11-13)

The complete philosophy and practice of the Vedic system is about to be fully restored for the first time in four-thousand years. As Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya explains in this very inspiring and revolutionary talk, the once integrated system of Vedic spirituality has been practiced in a fragmented and disjointed way by many spiritual seekers for much of the last several millennia. He explains the history of how and why this problem occurred, as well as what the dire consequences have been toward our understanding of what the Vedic tradition actually is. Sri Acharyaji provides us with a stunning vision of what is the actual, complete Vedic system, and how we can begin to follow Sanatana Dharma fully and completely in our current era.

“Devotees solely engaged in the devotional service of the Supreme Godhead, Nārāyaṇa, never fear any condition of life. For them the heavenly planets, liberation and the hellish planets are all the same, for such devotees are interested only in the service of the Lord.” (Lord Shiva, Srimad Bhagavatam, 6.17.28)

"As a lamp in a windless place does not waver, so the yogi, whose mind is controlled, remains always steady in his meditation on the transcendent Self." (Bhagavad Gita, 6.19)

"O consort of Lord Vishnu, O internal energy of Lord Vishnu, you are as good as Lord Vishnu Himself, for you have all of His qualities and opulences. O goddess of opulence, please be kind to me. O mother of the entire world, I offer my respectful obeisances unto you." (Srimad Bhagavatam, 6.19.6)
