Shyamapriya Mataji - SB 3-26-36 - 10-29-24 - Exploring Air: The Breath of Krishna’s Creation

Shyamapriya Mataji - SB 3-26-36 - 10-29-24 - YouTubeAn insightful class based on Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (SB) Canto 3, Chapter 26, Verses 36 and 37, delving into the metaphysical nature of elements, particularly air, as foundational forces in creation and existence. Shyamapriya Mataji explains how touch and movement originate from air, which is essential for sensory function and life itself, noting that disturbances in air circulation can lead to health issues, as taught in Ayurveda. She emphasizes that air, although invisible, demonstrates its presence in movements of trees, clouds, and waves, as well as in the unseen vibrations that carry sound, aroma, and even Wifi signals. Krishna, as the Supreme Source, underlies all these natural phenomena and energies, including the five types of prana (vital energies) that govern bodily functions. He remains aloof from material affairs, residing in His own divine abode. In the latter part, Shyamapriya Mataji discusses Govardhan Hill’s significance in Krishna’s pastimes and as a direct manifestation of Krishna Himself. She recounts Krishna’s pastime of lifting Govardhan Hill to protect His devotees from Indra’s wrath, an act that reveals His supreme power and care. She further elaborates on the importance of Govardhan Puja, a festival that honors Govardhan as both a sacred hill and Krishna’s loving embodiment. The festival encourages devotees to immerse themselves in Krishna’s leelas, deepen their spiritual connection, and ultimately experience the joy and purification that comes from engaging in these divine celebrations. The class concludes with Shyamapriya Mataji inviting everyone to participate wholeheartedly in the upcoming Govardhan Puja, invoking Krishna’s blessings and aiming to cultivate devotion through remembrance of His pastimes.
