by Swami Padmanabha
Meet Swami Padmanabha—a refreshing blend of wisdom, warmth, and an unwavering commitment to open and honest connections. Born on November 15, 1980, into a nurturing and down-to-earth family, Swami's formative years instilled in him beautiful values and ideals that paved the way for his extraordinary journey. From a tender age, a profound curiosity about truth and life's ultimate purpose stirred within Swami, guiding him down diverse paths. His insatiable intellect led him to delve into deep studies and explore various ascetic disciplines. Amidst this exploration, he encountered the transformative message of Hindu Devotional Vedanta, also known as bhakti, a spiritual revelation that would become the guiding force in his life. Embarking on his monastic journey at the age of 19, Swami Padmanabha's dedication to spiritual practices deepened over the years. At 28, he officially embraced the order of sannyasa which teaches how to navigate the world without becoming attached to it. Swami Padmanabha's versatility shines through as a captivating speaker, prolific author, accomplished musician, and both a committed mentor and dedicated student in spiritual communities. Engaging in academic circles, he integrates his spiritual pursuits with the interdisciplinary studies spanning theology, philosophy, psychology, and the arts. Notably, his commitment extends to social causes, where he spearheads campaigns of awareness through discussions, seminars, retreats, and impactful articles in social media. Approachable and dedicated, Swami Padmanabha fosters open and honest relationships, inviting others to join him on the journey of becoming our fullest unique selves in the context of divine love. Embracing a path of continuous growth, he humbly shares insights as a source of inspiration for those seeking spiritual growth and understanding. Swami’s two books, "INHERENT OR INHERITED?: Bhakti in the Jiva According to Gaudiya Vedanta" and "RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion", are available on Amazon and other popular online bookstores. Connect with @SwamiPadmanabha on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to delve deeper into his teachings and insights.

<p>00:00 Swami Padmanabha invites us to the experience of Tadatmya, reminding us that we are of all one family, integrated into a whole and sacred circle with Bhagavan in the center, the axis and center of reality..</p> <p>3:49 In the last class of your recent 4-part lecture series on Evolution in Divine Love: The Eternal Becoming of Soul, Matter and God, you referred to sadhana-bhakti as a rehearsal for bhava/prema bhakti. Would you please elaborate on this?</p> <p>24:05 How important is belief in God for spiritual advancement? Can one advance spiritually without having an affirmative theistic belief in God? Do we suspend our belief to accept what guru, sastra and sadhu say before we experience it? How important is it that what we are told is objectively true or is subjectively accepting something as good good enough?</p> <p>40:51 Does the notion of inherent bhakti eclipse free will?</p> <p>56:50 When we ask the question, “Who am I?”, from which place should we answer that? As an atma/soul or as the psychological self?</p> <p>1:07:34 Considering that the hari-nama initiation is not diksa, what is our relationship with the guru that gives us hari-nama? What do we call the guru who gives us hari-nama but not diksa?</p> <p>Watch on YouTube: <a href="https://youtu.be/_VdYyRFp1zM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA4BntXpZsw&t=1s</a></p> <p><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p> <p><a href="https://Tadatmya.org">▶ WEBSITE</a><br/><a href="https://www.facebook.com/tadatmya.sangha">▶ FACEBOOK</a><br/><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tadatmya.sangha">▶ INSTAGRAM</a><br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@tadatmya-sangha">▶ YOUTUBE</a></p> <p>*********</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/e63IADX3zik">RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion.</a></p>

<p>0:00 Swami Padmanabha shares some news about the completion of his latest book. He then proceeds to invite us to bring our “wood” to the fire of contemplation and sacred space for the ongoing journey of ISTAGOSTHI.</p> <p>06:33 Since Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura accepted diksha from the Bipin Bihar who is in the line of Jahnava Mata Thakurani, as well as his strong siksha relationship with Jagannath dasa Babaji, is our lineage both coming from Jahnava Mata and Jagannatha dasa Babaji?</p> <p>18:47 If Krishna’s name, being non-different from him, are always pure, how do we harmonize statements like hearing the holy name from non-devotees is compared to milk being touched by the lips of a snake?</p> <p>41:11 How do we go from “reading” scriptures to “studying” scriptures and then “realizing” scripture?</p> <p>01:03.40 When I engage in meditative practices I experience peace but not when I chant japa. Am I doing something wrong?</p> <p>Watch on YouTube: <a href="https://youtu.be/_VdYyRFp1zM">https://www.youtube.com/live/_QNx-2TXr3g</a></p> <p><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p> <p><a href="https://Tadatmya.org">▶ WEBSITE</a><br/><a href="https://www.facebook.com/tadatmya.sangha">▶ FACEBOOK</a><br/><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tadatmya.sangha">▶ INSTAGRAM</a><br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@tadatmya-sangha">▶ YOUTUBE</a></p> <p>*********</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/e63IADX3zik">RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion.</a></p>
