For Soul’s Sake

In this episode of For Soul’s Sake, we explore how bhakti invites us to respond to suffering with compassion, rather than asking why it exists. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita, the Srimad Bhagavatam, and Krishna’s pastimes, this talk reminds us that compassion is woven into devotion itself - serving others is serving God.From global tragedies to everyday moments we’re tempted to scroll past, we’re encouraged to take responsibility through small, sincere acts of care. No act of compassion is ever insignificant.How will you respond when you see suffering today?Want to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

This episode explores the question many of us ask: Does God play favourites? Although scriptures show Him protecting devotees and correcting wrongdoers, the Gītā explains that God is equal to all - He simply reciprocates with the attitude we bring to Him.Like a parent or teacher who responds differently based on a child’s sincerity or needs, God’s actions may look varied, but they all come from compassion. He accepts the heart, not the scale of our actions, and even those who oppose Him ultimately receive His mercy.We’re invited to reflect on whether we sometimes perceive God as biased - and how our outlook might shift if we saw all His actions as expressions of care, guidance, and upliftment.Want to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa
