In this episode, Rasik Swami (formally B.B. Rasikananda Maharaja) explores the true essence of Krishna consciousness as an inner stream flowing through the purified heart. Drawing from the teachings of Srila Rupa Goswami, Lord Chaitanya, and our Guruvarga, he explains how external practices and temples point us toward the deeper reality of establishing the Lord within our own heart-temple. Through reflections on prema, humility, and the service mood of the manjari-bhavas, Rasik Swami illuminates how real Krishna consciousness means transcending ego, becoming the servant of the servant, and aligning our every thought and action with the joy of Radha and Krishna.
