Livestream Kirtans & wisdom talks you can join in from home

congregational kirtan at home livestream

Most livestreams are using either YouTube or Facebook.

I’m going to share the YOUTUBE livestream channels that are consistently putting up regular livestreams of both live kirtan, as well as meditation and yoga. 

 

The Australian School of Meditation and Yoga have been livestreaming their weekly kirtans to facebook for a few years now, and yesterday announced that they will continue to livestream kirtan on a regular basis. Around the world others have joined this online kirtan party, making sure that we can continue to associate even if trapped at home by Coronavirus self isolation proceedures. 

I encourage you to follow them on Facebook and Youtube! 

Wisdom talks you can tune into from home.

I expect a lot of livestreams here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qk-RUCSN0bTvVgtto02pQ

my Friends at Kirtan Experience are doing magical kirtan by the beach, while we are still allowed out of doors…

They have even set up an audio download you can grab to listen on Soundcloud.

I am also enjoying associating by watching the videos of the very humble servant of Sri Krishna on this channel here:

There are multiple playlists with different themes, but I am loving listening to this yoga wisdom talks while I am sewing for Krsna.

There are multiple locations for The Mantra Room around Australia, and I love the strong kirtan vibe in Brisbane. Follow them on YouTube

All of these channels are so PROLIFIC and generous with their distribution of KIRTAN and Yoga Wisdom that I have just had to pick one or two to represent.

You’ll love it if you enrich your life with these wonderful opportunities to hear and chant from your couch!

Especially in these stressful times with the world pandemic creating mass confusion and anxiety, benefit from the calming wisdom of the ages:

The title says it all. We can buckle down, and stay indoors, and create an internal sanctuary

Have you got some channel you would suggest? Leave a comment and let me know! Maybe I’ll update this list to share it!

This is NOT an exhaustive list! I’m sure my friends around the world would have so much more to add!

I hope it helps you in your daily remembrance of Sri Krishna in these times when we are encouraged to self isolate and may mean separation from other devotees and inability to have congregational kirtan together.

Remember Krishna – the solution to all of life’s problems

Please read on where I am sharing the most beautiful spiritual wisdom talk shared by my own spiritual teacher, who has given us all this gift of transcendental knowledge.

Take heart; Remembering Krishna makes it possible to have actual life.
When you remember Krishna big mountains seem like very small hills you can easily cross.
When you’re not remembering Krishna even small hills look too hard.
When you remember Krishna you have courage facing difficulties & challenges.
When you forget Krishna even the smallest obstacles seem insurmountable, you experience frustration, anxiety, depression.
When you remember Krishna you experience hope.
We forget Krishna & experience hopelessness.
When we remember Krishna we experience purposefulness.
When we forget Krishna we experience life is without any purpose.
When we remember Krishna we are surcharged with spiritual strength.
When we forget Krishna we become spiritually weak.
When we forget Krishna we are like a blind person, we cant see which way to go or where to aim.
When We remember Krishna we can see very clearly what path to follow.
When We remember Krishna our hearts fill with love, appreciation & gratitude.
When we forget Krishna we have hate, anger, feeling resentful, jealousy.
When we remember Krishna we experience tolerance, patience, forgiveness.
When we forget Krishna forgiveness is beyond our reach. We cannot forgive those who offend us.
Simply by remembering Krishna we have life – with forgetfulness of Krishna we have darkness & death.
We should always remember Krishna, and organise our life so that we always remember Krishna.
Chant japa – japa is the private practice of chanting names of Krishna solitarily.
If we neglect to spend time everyday chanting our japa, if we take lightly this instruction from our Spiritual master and don’t spend time alone with Krishna chanting japa then our remembrance of Krishna is weakened.
Some disciples think they are so busy that they don’t have time. They think that they cannot put aside an hour of the morning to chant the names of Krishna.
This is a big mistake. There is no meaning to ‘service’ without remembrance of Krishna.
If we neglect to follow the our vow of spending time with Krishna then we are undermining or rejecting the relationship with our spiritual master and Krishna.
when we neglect this basic central instruction to chant japa by ourselves with Krishna focused on hearing th enames, the form and pastimes of Krishna then we are neglecting the most wonderful opportunity that has been given by Krishna to come into contact with His representative and receive His holy names.
First make sure to remember Krishna by spending time every day chanting japa. Every opportunity here and there through the day we can do more japa.
Hearing the names of Krishna, putting on a cd of Krishna chanting, listening to the names of Krishna and hearing pastimes of Krishna, the names and forms of Krishna & chanting in congregational kirtan.
Organise your life so you are engaged in Krishna.
We eat and drink throughout the day – we can offer that to Krishna.
Remembering Krishna.
We offer obeisances to our Spiritual Master by thanking him for filling our hearts with transcendental knowledge – the truth of my identity that I am part and parcel of Krishna. He is my dear-most friend.
Remember Krishna means remembering our relationship with Krishna, not philosophically but in tasting love for Krishna, in remembering our loving relationship with Krishna.
Transcendental knowledge and love for Krishna are one and the same.
The realization of transcendental knowledge means loving Krishna.
My dear Krishna, you are the heart of my heart, the life of my life, let me take shelter of you. Just rest your heart and mind in Krishna – this is rememberance of Krishna.
This remembrance of Krishna saves us from the greatest dangers, the darkest night.
In all situations just remember Krishna, this is the solution to all of lifes problems.
Just remember Krishna means love Krishna.
Love Krishna and remember Krishna is one and the same. Please chant the names of Krishna

My notes from a lecture given by Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa Prabhupad a bonafide disciple of a bonafide spirtual master coming in a long line of spiritual teachers, originating from God Himself.

Any errors are due to my own note-taking & poor memory, and I beg you will forgive me for them.
