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 […]

I’m read­ing a very inter­est­ing book, From Where You Dream: The Process of Writ­ing Fic­tion, by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Robert Olen But­ler. It seems the process of writ­ing lit­er­ary fic­tion is quite sim­i­lar to the process of nat­ural devo­tion in which we enter into a lov­ing rela­tion­ship with Radha-Krishna. They both involve a daily entrance […]

The Method (PDF): is a descrip­tion of the process Lalita Prasad Thakur taught me for becom­ing a girl­friend of Radha in my per­fect spir­i­tual body. I explain it in such a way that you can use it to develop your own iden­tity in the ide­al­ized real­ity of Braj. It is another draft chap­ter from my […]

I just started my sec­ond book which will expand upon the final chap­ter of my Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism book, “Remem­ber­ing Radha-Krishna Through­out the Day.” I gave the philo­soph­i­cal basis and an intro­duc­tion to the praxis of nat­ural devo­tion in Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism. Now, I will give a detailed expla­na­tion of the prac­tice of involv­ing our­selves in the […]

Yet, absorbed in each other’s love and lost in each other’s thoughts there is scarcely room in their hearts for thought of any­thing else. God-dess and the devo­tee become mutu­ally sub­servient to each other and sur­ren­der their free­dom to each other. The pure divine love of the devo­tee con­trols God-dess.

Braj is a place of pil­grim­age in Uttar Pradesh, India, but the spir­i­tual Braj exists in the hearts of devo­tees wher­ever they are. Radha-Krishna’s pas­times go on there now and for­ever. One can see them only by the grace and sweet will of Radha-Krishna or their beloveds.

Since we are finite parts of the holo­graphic whole, God-dess lives within us. When we attune our­selves to the spir­i­tual plane, God-dess awak­ens within us, and we con­sciously engage in a lov­ing relationship–the per­fec­tion of spir­i­tual life.
Radha-Krishna also live in Braj, the spir­i­tual abode. Like them, it con­sists of exis­tence, con­scious­ness, and bliss. As such, it […]
