In this class, Rasik Swami (formally Swami BB Rasikananda Maharaja) weaves together the universal vision of vasudhaiva kutumbakam—the world as one family—with the intimate sweetness of Krishna’s pastimes in Vrindavan. Beginning with reflections on how God is the supreme parent of all living beings, he emphasizes that true renunciation is to give up illusion and see every soul as a child of Krishna. From this broad vision of unity, he brings us into the tender depths of Braj, where Krishna, disguised as a cuckoo bird, softly calls out to Srimati Radharani from the trees of Kokilavan. Through this playful lila, Rasik Swami reveals how the Lord Himself longs for love, showing us both the boundless embrace of divine compassion and the delicate beauty of Radha-Krishna’s eternal meeting and separation.This class was recorded in Toronto, Canada on September 15, 2025.
