1st Vision of Dark Krishna

Summary

, 19 min

The first vision of Krishna in the spiritual eye, read through Sanyal's commentary on the opening of the Bhagavad Gita. Bhishma's conch is fear, the right amygdala; the white light is Lakshmi; the dark center, the Bhramari Guha or cave of honey, is Krishna. Closes with expanding the vision to let go of the left brain.
