Dharma is not created by human opinion, it is established by God Himself. Through the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna explains what true dharma is and how it is lived. Society has karmis, jnanis, tyagis, and yogis, but Krishna clearly guides Arjuna toward the highest path. Among all yogas, karma, jnana, ashtanga, and bhakti, the Supreme Lord declares the devotee who constantly remembers. Him with faith and love to be the greatest yogi. Yoga is not a posture or popularity; it is establishing a living connection with the Supreme Father.

Why Krishna Wants You to Be a Bhakti Yogi | Madan Sundar Das | ISKCON

Madan Sundar Das 10 hours ago

Follow the Madan Sundar Das channel on WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va96RBh5q08l0zvXvY2y A few weeks ago, my life took an unexpected pause. What was meant to be a simple family break turned into a sudden hospitalization and surgery. That pause — unplanned, unscheduled, and uncomfortable — became one of the greatest teachers of my life. In this talk, I share honest reflections from that phase: why decision-making is often harder than pain how ignorance sometimes protects us what helplessness teaches about humility why taking shelter is not weakness how silence deepens relationships and how crises reveal the people who truly stand by us This is not a medical talk. It is a human talk — about life, uncertainty, faith, relationships, and gratitude. If you’ve ever gone through a phase that wasn’t on your calendar, this talk is for you. 🙏 Thank you to all the well-wishers and devotees who offered prayers during my recovery. 📍 Recorded at Evolve Pune – Bhajan Clubbing & Talk Show 🗓 Feb 2026 0:00 When Life Suddenly Presses Pause 4:36 Why I Am Sharing This Experience 5:09 The VIP Illusion – Hospital Experience 12:55 Lesson 1 – Why Decision-Making Is the Hardest 24:32 Lesson 2 – Ignorance also has a mercy built into it 30:21 Lesson 3 – Helplessness brings humility 32:38 Lesson 4 – Crisis reveals Relationships 35:05 Lesson 5 – The Power of Silence 38:27 – 5 reminders (conclusion)

What Surgery Taught Me About Life, Control & Gratitude | Madan Sundar Das

Madan Sundar Das February 2, 2026 8:00 pm

She began taking drugs at the age of 9. By 45, she had been hospitalized more than 12 times. She had “died” many times medically. Every rehabilitation failed. Every program collapsed. Then in 2014, on a street in New York, someone gifted her a Bhagavad Gita. That one encounter changed the direction of her life. She didn’t just quit drugs. She discovered purpose. She embraced discipline, mantra, devotion, and inner healing. Today, that same woman is the founder of one of the largest de-addiction programs in North America, helping thousands every year break free from drugs and alcohol. This is not a theory. This is transformation. This is the science of the soul. When consciousness changes, habits fall. When purpose awakens, addictions lose power. #BhagavadGita #AddictionRecovery #SpiritualHealing #TransformationStory #FromDarknessToLight #KrishnaConsciousness #DeAddiction #InnerChange #FaithHeals #RealLifeMiracle #ISKCON #PowerOfMantra #PurposeOverPain #HealingJourney #soulawakening ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.

From Drug Addiction to Healing Thousands: a real life story | Madan Sundar Das | ISKCON

Madan Sundar Das January 30, 2026 7:00 pm

Q. What was your salary package when you left America? I had everything the world calls “success”, a six-figure dollar salary, a valid H1B, a green card in process, and a future secured in America. Yet, sitting at an airport in Columbus in 2011, one question echoed in my heart: “Are you sure? Once you board this flight, there is no coming back.” This was not a forced decision. No visa expiry. No job loss. No pressure. It was a conscious choice, between comfort and calling, between security and surrender, between a crore-package life and a life of purpose. Fear did come. Doubts did arise in the first few months. But in the association of devotees, in the simplicity of the monastery, something deeper awakened , peace, clarity, and an unshakeable conviction: When I walk towards truth, the heart never regrets. Some journeys are not about changing countries. They are about changing consciousness. #LifePurpose #HigherCalling #FromCorporateToConsciousness #SpiritualJourney #MonkLife #LeavingComfortForTruth #H1BToBhakti #SoulOverSalary #CourageToChoose #FaithOverFear #VedicWisdom #ISKCONLife #InnerCalling #PurposeDrivenLife #TransformationStory #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #iskcon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Leaving a Crore-Package Career for a Higher Calling? | Madan Sundar Das | ISKCON

Madan Sundar Das January 28, 2026 7:00 pm

Follow the Madan Sundar Das channel on WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va96RBh5q08l0zvXvY2y It was a privilege to be at the ET Edge India’s Impactful CEOs Conclave Mumbai and to engage with such a thoughtful gathering of leaders. I spoke on the power of mindfulness and stillness in today’s leadership. In a world driven by speed, disruption, and constant decision-making, the ability to pause, listen deeply, and respond with clarity is no longer a luxury—it is essential strength. What touched me most were the conversations that followed. Leaders shared how stillness, awareness, and inner alignment are no longer seen as “soft” ideas, but as the very foundation of resilient, ethical, and people-centric leadership. Just as Arjuna’s moment of conscious choice on the battlefield gave the world the Bhagavad Gita, every leader today stands at their own Kurukshetra—where clarity of purpose, mastery of the mind, and surrender to higher wisdom shape not just success, but legacy. Grateful for the openness, sincerity, and the collective seeking—not merely for growth, but for wisdom in action. #ETEDGE #MindfulLeadership #PowerOfStillness #ConsciousLeadership #BhagavadGitaWisdom #LeadershipWithPurpose #InnerClarity #EthicalLeadership #SpiritualLeadership #ISKCON #CEOConclave #WisdomInAction #SelfMastery #ListeningBeforeLeading #MadanSundarDas

ET Now India's Impactful CEOs | Madan Sundar Das | Spiritual Guru, ISKCON Hinjewadi

Madan Sundar Das January 27, 2026 1:42 pm

Spirituality was never meant to be dry, distant, or disconnected from life. Yet, for many urban youth and professionals, it feels exactly that, boring, theoretical, and irrelevant. Evolve Pune was born to change this perception. Instead of waiting for people to come to temples, the idea was simple yet revolutionary: 👉 Take wisdom to where people already are, colleges, corporates, societies, homes. 👉 Blend ancient Vedic insights with modern lifestyle challenges. 👉 Create an experience, not just a lecture. 👉 Speak in a language Gen Z and working professionals can relate to. Another powerful vision was neutrality with authenticity. Rather than leading with institutional labels, Evolve Pune chose to lead with wisdom and experience. Let people first connect, feel, and understand. Once trust is built, the roots naturally reveal themselves. Today, Evolve Pune is not just an offline forum but also an online platform, courses, sessions, and spiritual tools for anyone seeking clarity, purpose, and inner growth in the middle of a fast-moving life. Because spirituality is not an escape from life. It is the art of living it better.
