God doesn’t need us. But He chooses us. He is complete. Self-sufficient. Beyond need. Yet in the Gita, He says, "Think of Me. Worship Me. Offer to Me.” Why? Because He doesn’t want offerings, He wants our heart. He doesn’t seek validation, He seeks relationships. Bhakti is not about completing God. It’s about healing us through connection with Him. A fruit, a flower, a drop of water, offered with love, moves the Divine more than any grand ritual. In a world chasing worth, remember, Krishna chooses you, not for what you bring, but for how you love. #bhagavadgita #krishnabhakti #vedicliving #spiritualinsight #godchoosesyou #pathofdevotion #bhaktimovement #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #motivationalspeaker ----------- About Madan Sundar Das, a distinguished scholar, holds a Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in the United States.

Krishna’s Greatest Gift: He Chooses Us Anyway | Madan Sundar Das | Evolve Pune

Madan Sundar Das Official August 22, 2025 7:00 pm

We all understand karma; it's fair, logical, and exact. But grace, grace is divine chaos. It breaks the rules to restore the soul. God doesn’t just give us what we deserve. Sometimes, He gives us what we never earned. That’s bhakti. That’s mercy. That’s the heart of the Gita. Karma may keep score. But grace, saves the player. #karmaandgrace #bhaktipath #spiritualawakening #vedicwisdom #krishnakatha #gitatalks #divinemercy #graceoverkarma #karmaexplained #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #motivationalspeaker ----------- About Madan Sundar Das, a distinguished scholar, holds a Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in the United States.

Karma vs. Grace – Justice or Mercy? | Madan Sundar Das | Evolve Pune

Madan Sundar Das Official August 20, 2025 9:26 am

Did you know Krishna was born in a prison cell? Talk about a dramatic entrance. But here’s the twist, your birth story isn’t that different. The material world is like a prison: four walls of birth, old age, disease, and death, with bars made of the three modes of nature. And the sentence? Multiple lifetimes without parole. Vedic wisdom says the purpose of human life is to break free from this prison. Krishna’s own appearance in that Mathura cell is His message: “I will protect you. Just take shelter in Me.” Vasudev and Devaki couldn’t open the prison gates by themselves, they surrendered, and Krishna did the rest. The greatest jailbreak in history isn’t from Mathura. It’s the one Krishna is planning… for you. #krishnajanmashtami #spiritualfreedom #mukti #vedicwisdom #breakthechains #freedomthroughbhakti #krishnaconsciousness #gitaeveryday #innerliberation #bhaktimovement #heartforKrishna #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #motivationalspeaker ----------- About Madan Sundar Das, a distinguished scholar, holds a Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in the United States.

The Greatest Jailbreak in History | Madan Sundar Das | Evolve Pune

Madan Sundar Das Official August 16, 2025 7:00 pm

Someone once asked me, “How are you celebrating Janmashtami?” When I said, “I’ll wake up at 4:00 AM, chant for hours, listen to a lecture, chant some more, and fast until midnight,” his face said it all, shock. But fasting isn’t punishment. It’s love. It’s turning down life’s noise so you can hear Krishna’s voice loud and clear. It’s a reset for body, mind, and soul, detoxing the system, sharpening focus, and calming the heart. And why midnight? Because Krishna appeared at midnight, breaking through the prison’s darkness. So when we fast till that moment, we’re not just hungry, we’re full. Full of His name, His stories, His presence. Breaking the fast at midnight is like birthday cake for the soul. This Janmashtami, let’s not just celebrate. Let’s participate, with our whole being. #janmashtami2025 #krishnabhakti #fastingforlove #krishnajanmashtami #gitaeveryday #bhaktifestival #servewithlove #krishnaprem #devotioninmotion #midnightblessings #bhaktiyoga #spiritualreset #heartforKrishna #vedicwisdom #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #motivationalspeaker ----------- About Madan Sundar Das, a distinguished scholar, holds a Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in the United States.

Fasting Till Midnight, Punishment or Love? | Madan Sundar Das | Evolve Pune

Madan Sundar Das Official August 15, 2025 7:01 pm

Happy Independence Day. Today, we honor the heroes who gave their lives for our motherland. But there’s another kind of independence we often forget, the freedom from the colonizer within. On August 15th, we remember freedom from the British. But what about freedom from the restless mind, from overthinking at 2:00 AM, from fear, greed, and attachments that quietly rule us? In our tradition, this is called mukti, freedom from the bondage of the body and mind. Even our nation’s name, Bharat, comes from Bhayamratam Iti Bharatam, the land devoted to knowledge and light. We belong to a civilization that excelled not just in material power, but in spiritual wisdom. And that wisdom reminds us: real freedom isn’t only political, it’s when your happiness is no longer hijacked by external likes and dislikes. So this August 15th, wave your flag high, but also take up the inner fight for self-mastery. Because the hardest freedom to win… is freedom from yourself. #independenceday #innerfreedom #mukti #freedomfromwithin #spiritualwisdom #gitaeveryday #freedomfrommind #bharat #vedicliving #trueindependence #selfmastery #spiritualgrowth #consciousliving #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #motivationalspeaker ----------- About Madan Sundar Das, a distinguished scholar, holds a Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in the United States.

Real Freedom: Not from the British, but from the Mind | Madan Sundar Das | Evolve Pune

Madan Sundar Das Official August 15, 2025 9:00 am

Every Janmashtami, rain or shine, I remember going temple-hopping with my father. We never missed the music, the lights, the conch shells, Krishna’s childhood tales coming alive in every corner. But there’s one thing I forgot far too often, just saying, “Thank You, Krishna.” For every breath. Every heartbeat. Every blessing. Year after year, I showed up with my wish list… maybe you did too? This year, keep your wish list if you like but add something deeper. Ask for the chance to serve Him. Ask to revive your relationship with Him. Ask for a heart full of love, compassion, and the wisdom to rise above distractions. Ask to be His instrument, never a burden to others. Because when the lights fade and the festival ends, the Krishna in your heart, that’s forever. #janmashtami2025 #krishnabhakti #krishnaconsciousness #templememories #gratitudetokrishna #bhaktifestival #gitaeveryday #devotioninmotion #servewithlove #heartofbhakti #spiritualgrowth #festivalseason #vedicwisdom #krishnaloveforever #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #motivationalspeaker ----------- About Madan Sundar Das, a distinguished scholar, holds a Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in the United States.
