When sataguru comes to our door
A satsang exploring the devotional bhajan "Kali Kali Āraṣavatahe Hari" and the nature of spiritual joy.
"If love is pure and selfless, it is limitless. If there is selfishness, then it is limited."
"Your one word expresses the entire universe... That is called Gagar me Sāgara in India."
Swami Maheshvarananda explains the bhajan written by Swami Lālā Nānjī upon the arrival of his Guru, Mahāprabhujī. He describes the immeasurable joy of a devotee using the analogy of plants reviving after rain, and expands on themes of pure love, the art of condensing vast wisdom into a few words (Gagar me Sāgara), and finding contentment. The talk includes personal anecdotes, a Hungarian joke about comparison, and a call to protect nature and cultivate happiness.
