BIG DREAMS are on the inside of each one of you. One day you’re going to start a temple, own a business, come out of debt, raise wonderful children. Krishna always puts bigger things in our spirit than our mind can handle. Don’t talk yourself out of it.

1. Be still, my soul! the Lord is on your side; Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; Leave to your God to order and provide; In ev’ry change he faithful will remain. Be still, my soul! your best, your heav’nly friend Thru’ thorny ways leads to a joyful end. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna […]
The post Song: Be Still, My Soul appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.
We have to believe that HE IS DIRECTING OUR STEPS and to go with the flow. If you are going to become a vessel of gold, you have to STAY ON THE POTTERS WHEEL and be willing to change. Nothing in your life happens by accident. The delays, the grouchy clerk, the slow waiter, and […]

Let the story unfold, About a swami from India, brave and bold. Seventy years young, with a mission in his soul, Prabhupada’s tale, let the rhythm take control. (Verse 1) Nineteen sixty-five, a voyage on the sea, Heart attacks strikin’, but his spirit runs free. Seven dollars in his pocket, that’s all he had, New […]

“If something makes Krishna Happy and me unhappy, that becomes my greatest happiness. And if something makes me happy but makes Krishna unhappy, that becomes my greatest unhappiness.”

(Intro) Yo, check the mic, one two, this ain’t no ordinary tune It’s a hymn of the earth, under the sun and moon From the soil we spring, with a spiritual glow Let the rhythm flow, watch the seeds we sow! (Verse 1) Sunrise paints the sky, a brand new day begins On temple land […]
The post Song: Hymn of the Earth appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.
Our message today is that “if you can dream it, Krishna can do it.” Prabhupada was talking about the freedoms enjoyed by Narada Muni, “Every living being is anxious for full freedom because that is his transcendental nature. We, parts and parcels of God, are more than dull dead matter, we are created above time […]

anta-kāle cha mām eva smaran muktvā kalevaram yaḥ prayāti sa mad-bhāvaṁ yāti nāsty atra saṁśayaḥ At life’s final end, with body cast aside, Whoever remembers Me, will with Me abide. He attains My nature, eternal and pure, Of this, O Arjuna, be confident and sure. (Intro) Yo, this is the final lesson, the ultimate test, […]
The post Song: The Final Test appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.
Krishna is the Iswara Parama, doesn’t need to look strong, doesn’t need to instill fear, doesn’t need to manage.. Krishna is that person than whom no one is greater or equal because he is the boss of Balarama
Balarama makes planets orbit like bulls with rings in their noses. Balarama controls demigods like birds caught in […]

(Intro Verse) na yad vacaś citra-padaṁ harer yaśo jagat-pavitraṁ pragṛṇīta karhicit tad vāyasaṁ tīrtham uśanti mānasā na yatra haṁsā niramanty uśik-kṣayāḥ (Verse 1) Yo, words that fail to recount, the Lord’s pure renown, He alone sanctifies, the universe’s crown. Saintly persons consider them, a low-grade domain, A pilgrimage for crows, enduring constant strain. The all-perfect […]

(Intro Verse) tad vāg-visargo janatāgha-viplavo yasmin prati-ślokam abaddhavaty api nāmāny anantasya yaśo ’ṅkitāni yat śṛṇvanti gāyanti gṛṇanti sādhavaḥ (Verse 1) Yo, that literature, a distinct creation, Brimming with transcendental glories, a pure revelation. The Supreme Lord’s name, His fame, His forms, His divine play, Crafted to spark revolution, in impious lives today. For this misdirected […]
The post Song: Literature for Swanlike Men appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.
Prabhupada. “Crows and swans are not birds of the same feather because of their different mental attitudes. The crows take pleasure in a place where garbage is thrown out, just as the passionate fruitive workers take pleasure in wine and woman and places for gross sense pleasure.
The swans do not take pleasure in the […]

Here’s the key: you have to give yourself PERMISSION to be happy. Sometimes we buy into the lie that we’re not supposed to be happy. We’ve been through too much. We’ve made too many mistakes. If we’re happy, people may not understand. Can I tell you? You’re SUPPOSED to be happy! Krishna CREATED YOU to […]
The post Happiness on Purpose appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.
(Verse 1) Yo, check it, fam, listen close to the start, Vai and I, with aspiration in heart. To Utah’s plains, our journey we brought, A radio station, the prize that we sought. A concrete vision, a mission defined, To spread a message, connect humankind. Yeah, a substantial task, a mountain to scale, A broadcast […]
The post Song: Take the Limits Off appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.
This isn’t about simply achieving what you set out to do. This is about accomplishing goals that lie FAR BEYOND what you currently think or even dare to imagine. It’s about TAPPING INTO a source of support and grace that can elevate your aspirations and manifest results you couldn’t have conceived on your own. When […]
The post Not Big Enough appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.
As souls on a spiritual journey, striving to deepen our connection with the Supreme Person, Krishna, we inevitably encounter periods that feel dry and unfulfilling. The Bhagavad Gita, in its profound wisdom, speaks of the cyclical nature of life, of happiness and distress arriving like the summer and winter seasons (BG 2.14). These “dry seasons” […]

Feeling trapped? Stuck in a career rut, a stagnant relationship, or watching your goals gather dust? It’s a heavy, draining sensation, a universal ache we all experience. We often wonder, “Is this all there is?” or even, “Is there some divine purpose in this discomfort?” That feeling of being rooted to one spot, unable to […]

Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram, Ram Narayanam Janaki Vallabham (Verse 1) Yo, the Vrndavana forest, from rains it improved, With dates, mangoes, and blackberries, all sweetly approved. Lord Krishna, the Supreme, with His boyfriends so grand, And Balarama too, they strolled through the land. The cows, filled with new grass, so healthy and fat, Their milk […]

Then came the initiation, a pivotal phase, Into Krishna’s divine names, dispelling all haze. The essential process, for this epoch, He said, A conduit to freedom, where enlightenment’s spread. With the sacred mantra, Nimai’s spirit took flight, Chanting with fervor, bathed in divine light. A sudden rapture, a transcendental delight, Swooning in bliss, beyond the […]
