The secret lies with the expert chef and the recipe. The chef knows that the ingredient isn’t meant to be consumed in isolation.

As souls on a spiritual journey, striving to deepen our connection with the Supreme Person, Krishna, we inevitably encounter periods that feel dry and unfulfilling.

The post Deep Water Faith appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

When you’re pressured, you learn to STRETCH your faith. PRAY BOLD PRAYERS. BELIEVE for what looks impossible. The pressure is causing you to get stronger. Quit fighting it and learn to EMBRACE it. KRISHNA wouldn’t have allowed it if He wasn’t up to something. Maturity is being AT PEACE in the PRESSURE, TRUSTING in the […]

The post Motivation for Change appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

Krishna had all that and more planned for us since the beginning of time. He had the steppingstones all lined up before we were born. We simply had to take our TINY STEPS OF FAITH before our dreams became reality. In a purport to the BG 11/34 Prabhupada says, “The plans of the SPOG are […]

The post Stepping Out In Faith appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

I’m predicting God centered changes in the lives of His devotees. A good New Years prayer might sound something like this. “Lord, please help me to use the 8,760 hours of this year the wisest way that I can for you, & for your glory.”
 Lord, give me enough happiness to keep me sweet – […]

Nothing you’re doing has been wasted. Every time you show love, you are sowing these seeds. But sometimes we think that we have to convince people, we have to tell them what they’re doing wrong, point out all their faults, make sure they really feel guilty. No, the Paramatma, Lord in the heart, is the […]

The post The Light of Love appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

It is said that man does not live by bread alone. As there is food for the body, there needs to be a different type of food for the soul. In addition to the hunger that the body feels, the soul also feels its own hunger. The soul HUNGERS TO BE OF SERVICE, to make […]

The post Living a Blessed Life appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

Am I going to be a buzzard & stay on the ground, eat dead things, or am I going to be a swam & soar. If I’m going to be a swami, I cannot hang around with crows. Everyone would like to soar but not willing to give up dead flesh, gossip, unwholesome things. If […]

The post What Goes In Comes Out appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

So much of our daily discontent comes from the fact that most of us are MORE AWARE OF OUR WEAKNESSES than our STRENGTHS, more aware of our FAILURES than our SUCCESSES, MORE AWARE OF OUR LIMITATIONS than our GIFTS. I can’t tell you how many problems that causes!

The post Take the Pressure Off appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

Don’t go to the next 70 years responding to the unfair situations in your life the same way, getting upset, offended, impatient, feeling sorry for yourself, plotting revenge. Stay on the potters wheel. Next time things don’t go your way, instead of letting your blood pressure boil and muttering expletives under your breath, try a […]

“Don’t use where you are as an excuse to not grow. Don’t say, “I’m not in a good job. I don’t like my position. I’ve had unfair things happen. That’s why I’ve lost my passion.” Remember, the treasure is still in you. Krishna is saying, “It’s time to use your gifts. Stretch yourself. Take some […]

Abraham Maslow “The healthiest, most flourishing, and most valuable among us are those who are “motivated by transformation”, “by the release of potentials, capacities and talents thru purposeful action.” Have you ever felt there is a self YOU OUGHT TO BE beating beneath the thing you are, yearning to realize itself, hankering to rise up.
