Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism: The Way of Nat­ural Devo­tion; A Practitioner’s Hand­book is the full title of my forth­com­ing book. Let me break it down. It is:

uni­ver­sal­ist in the sense of being non­sec­tar­ian, plu­ral­is­tic, and rel­a­tivis­tic rather than exclu­sivist. It sees cul­ti­va­tion of divine love as the essence of spir­i­tu­al­ity. Since God-dess rec­i­p­ro­cates in the man­ner peo­ple approach […]

What I thought was a final edit of my next book turned into a major rewrite that I just com­pleted thanks to Nori Muster’s gen­er­ous edi­to­r­ial guid­ance.  I fine tuned and reor­ga­nized the book to present my com­plete teach­ings that empower prac­ti­tion­ers to prac­tice nat­ural devo­tion (raganuga bhakti) as one of Radha’s girl­friends. I sent […]

I’ve been quite busy man­ag­ing var­i­ous stages of con­struct­ing my home, and it’s com­ing together even bet­ter than I imagined–thanks to my wife’s imag­i­na­tion. Our vision of how we want to spend our elder years is man­i­fest­ing, and I feel more opti­mistic, hope­ful, and at home than ever before. At this tra­di­tional time of thanksgiving, […]

As I read reports of rapid high­way infra­struc­ture  devel­op­ment accom­pa­nied by destruc­tion of tra­di­tional sacred spaces in Vrind­a­ban, Braj, India which leads to end­ing the tra­di­tional lifestyles of many res­i­dents, I am sad­dened for those who live there and are trau­ma­tized by all this. I would also be sad­dened if such changes occurred here in […]

May Radha, the rul­ing God­dess of eter­nally fresh, sweet love, whose sen­su­ous body of con­densed bliss enjoys excel­lent pas­times in the groves of desire trees along the banks of the Jamuna River, she being excited by the emo­tions of her inti­mate girl­friends, and whose love­li­ness makes streams of nec­tar flow in the hearts of her […]

The day started out with a tsunami warn­ing which is part of the rea­son we live 1,000 feet above sea level. Some of our friends with their coastal homes were evac­u­ated. Our trip to Hilo was can­celled. Thank­fully, the tsunami fiz­zled.
After din­ner, Jah­nava and I drove down to the Kala­pana coast and walked across massive […]
