God-dess’ body and its owner are not two dif­fer­ent prin­ci­ples like the dif­fer­ence between the body and soul of liv­ing enti­ties in the phys­i­cal world. God-dess’ body and its owner both con­sist of con­scious­ness and bliss. The same eter­nal spir­i­tual prin­ci­ple man­i­fests God-dess’ names, attrib­utes, activ­i­ties, and abodes. God-dess is not dif­fer­ent inter­nally or exter­nally.

We are finite, and God-dess is infi­nite. We can­not limit the infi­nite with mere human thought and words. We do not want to define a God that is too small and fits neatly in our box. God-dess’ incon­ceiv­able potency tran­scends the law of con­tra­dic­tion, blend­ing con­tra­dic­tory ideas and qual­i­ties within him-herself para­dox­i­cally.
Since the Absolute is […]

Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism offers a panen­the­is­tic the­ol­ogy. The per­sonal Absolute enfolds even the form­less, attribut­e­less Absolute, which we call Undif­fer­en­ti­ated One­ness. God-dess’ power to rec­on­cile the irrec­on­cil­able rec­on­ciles our imper­fect, con­tra­dic­tory ideas of qual­i­fied and unqual­i­fied Absolute in a higher syn­the­sis.
We can­not fully express the infi­nite unbounded Absolute in words, but this does not mean we […]

Rather than God-dess giv­ing humans domin­ion over other species and the envi­ron­ment, we are given stew­ard­ship of them–responsibility to care for them. In today’s urban envi­ron­ments we tend to loose our con­nec­tion with nature, and mate­ri­al­is­tic cap­i­tal­ism dom­i­nates.
One of the main under­ly­ing causes dri­ving a mul­ti­plic­ity of prob­lems is rapid pop­u­la­tion growth that takes us […]

Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism is aimed at a well edu­cated, open audi­ence. It presents eso­teric Vedic wis­dom in plain, well-written Eng­lish, avoid­ing tech­ni­cal San­skrit terms. We pro­vide seek­ers with a philosophical-theological sys­tem as well as prac­tices they can begin incor­po­rat­ing in their daily lives. We accept mod­ern sci­ence and incor­po­rate sev­eral sci­en­tific per­spec­tives in our pre­sen­ta­tion. As […]

I saw the DVD “Milk” last night–a poignant reminder of our not so dis­tant past and the ongo­ing strug­gle for equal rights for all. I want to make it clear that Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism is open to and affirm­ing of queers of all types.
I’ve always been an out­sider myself. My strug­gle against the con­ser­v­a­tive ele­ments Milk also […]

What a long, cloudy, rainy win­ter it has been. Today, Jah­nava and I took the vinyl win­dows off our yurt until fall. It’s 94 F inside with the ceil­ing fan going full and 78 out­side. The sun is shin­ning brightly, the birds are singing, the wind blew the vog away and life is about as […]

The exis­tence of God-dess can­not be con­clu­sively proved or dis­proved. God-dess exists beyond time, space, rea­son, and con­cep­tion as well as in time, space, rea­son, and con­cep­tion. There­fore, we can know God-dess to the degree we com­pre­hend his-her self-revelation at the moment. So, it comes down to faith aided by intu­ition and rea­son. Faith is […]

As I have said, Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism has strong pro­gres­sive Chris­t­ian influ­ences. Some of the major Chris­t­ian influ­ences are:
Matthew Fox: Orig­i­nal Bless­ing, The Com­ing of the Cos­mic Christ–drew me to Chris­tian­ity with his inter­faith, panen­the­is­tic, life-affirming mys­ti­cal views. He demon­strates that orig­i­nal sin is not bib­li­cal and that life is a bless­ing. The Cos­mic Christ cor­re­sponds to […]

I seek com­mon ground with sci­ence and occa­sion­ally read a book to keep up with the lat­est trends. The mate­r­ial world is not a pun­ish­ing appa­ra­tus, and we did not fall from par­adise. Rather we are new souls spring­ing from God-dess’s love and put here to evolve to the point where we can inter­act with […]
