Prayer to Lord Krishna
Swamiji prays a heartfelt prayer to Lord Krishna. Loving suggestion: Close your eyes and listen to it.
A reminder of Swamiji's confirmation that all Deities are ONE. None are superior or inferior. They all are one and the same Divine Consciousness. Complete. Not a fragment. Each is the totality.
So this prayer is to your Ishta Devata – personal, chosen Ideal, as well.
From the Rig Veda: 'Ekam sat vipra bahudha vadanti', meaning Truth is one: sages call it by various names.

The original audio recordings of these posts were made by close Ramakrishna Centre of South Africa and Swami Shivapadananda devotee, Mother Radha. The audio editing and noise reduction of the original 1970s-onwards tapes, has been lovingly engineered, over many years, by her son and our dear gurubhai, Brother Tim. May Sri Ramakrishna and Swamiji bless them both.
