Building A Temple for Lord Narasimha in New York | Thinking Bhakti EP40
Description
In this episode of Thinking Bhakti, Swami Revatikaanta speaks with Swami Tulsidas about spiritual life, creativity, and community-building.
They begin with the story behind the podcast—how it started in the ashram with limited resources and a basic setup. Swami Tulsidas shares what pushed him to keep recording despite the challenges.
The conversation moves into personal reflections on discovering Paramahamsa Vishwananda and building a devotional path without a ready-made community. They discuss the effort it takes to keep serving and growing spiritually even when things are far from ideal.
One focus is the role of prayer—not as obligation, but as something natural and meaningful. Another is the Tulsi plant, its place at Shree Peetha Nilaya, and how respecting it deepens the experience of bhakti.
They also reflect on tradition, etiquette, and how spiritual practice becomes personal over time, even when it feels complex at first.
