In this stirring episode, Rasik Swami (formally B.B. Rasikananda Maharaja) explores the mystical power of aligning one’s life with divine service. Through vivid storytelling and timeless Vedic parables—including the tale of the street boy who became king—he illustrates how choosing responsibility over enjoyment awakens our true sovereignty. Drawing from the heart-wrenching dilemma of Krishna leaving Vṛndāvana to fulfill His cosmic duty, Rasikswami challenges listeners to reflect on what it means to live a life of purpose, loyalty, and deep inner devotion. A call to action for all spiritual warriors to embrace their dharma in service of Śrīmatī Rādhikā’s mission.
