About this episode
Tonight is the eclipse full moon celebrating the birthday of Sri Chaitanya, the Incarnation of Divine Love (prem?vatara) and commemorating both the burning of the demoness Holik? (as per the Vaishnava story of Prahl?da, the demon boy who loved Vishnu) as well as the burning of K?madeva, or Cupid (as per the Shaiva and Shakta Puranic stories of Shiva burning K?madeva and Lalit? defeating Bandh?sura).Since many are already familiar with the celebration of Holi (pelting each other with colored powders) and since we gave a talk on it last year called What is Holi?, I thought this year, it would be nice to offer a few more esoteric reflections on the celebration with regards to Tantrik Non-Duality! Find all our talks on T?ntrik Vaishnavism here. Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and again at Friday 11am PST Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM
