Proof of God (Poem)

 


God is here, I can feel Him

But sometimes I cannot feel Him
But that doesn’t mean He is not Here
It just means I have to look for Him
I have to look for Him within and without
and if I am lucky enough I might find him again
sometimes I find him in the transcendentally sweet taste of water
sometimes I find him in the quiet of my mind
sometimes I find him in the humble rumble my heart
and sometimes I find him in the multiple vibrations of His Creation
but sometimes He leaves me and I cannot find him.
Even though I am looking out for Him,

I know I am not looking in the right places
and I find myself, hopeless and helpless
and even if He purposely withdraws His presence from me
I know it is so I can feel His presence even in His absence
even that uncontrollable and deep pain is actually His love
it’s like a fire that burns cold
or like a sadness that fills your hearth
and it’s nice having a full hearth.

It is nice having a full hearth

And I know He is not leaving me alone
He is making me strong so I can feel Him again
So I keep looking for Him in the right places
Because even when I feel He is gone

He is still the core of my heart
And he is everywhere to be found
He is the silence and the sound
He is the peace and the pain
He is the joy that and the sorrow
He is the proof that love is real
And I will keep looking for Him, until I find Him again and again. Madhu

🌙 Faith, Science, and the Moon (Part 1): Beyond the Conspiracy?

Image
In many spiritual communities—and very specifically in mine—the Moon landing is often the   "litmus test"   for faith. If you have ever lost yourself in the corners of the internet or listened to talks in temples and   ashrams , you have surely come across documentaries analyzing shadows, flags waving without air, and the suspicious silence of the stars. But before thinking this is just a "devotee thing," we should look at the data:  more than 20% of people worldwide  harbor doubts about whether we actually set foot on the Moon in 1969. It is a global human phenomenon—a mixture of institutional mistrust and the simple desire not to be deceived. For a practitioner of  Bhakti , however, this doubt often feels like an act of loyalty toward  Srila Prabhupada . But today, in the midst of  2026 , as we watch the  Artemis Missions  send humans back with ultra-high-definition cameras and total transparency, we are at a crossroads. Is our doubt t...

Drop the Rock, Destroy the Ring

Image
Today I feel inspired to share an analogy that emerged while talking with a friend, an analogy about the invisible and heavy baggage we all carry, and that we must learn to let go of if we truly want to move forward spiritually. In addiction recovery communities such as Alcoholics Anonymous, there is a very famous book and concept called Drop the Rock . It is a powerful metaphor about letting go of character defects, resentments, and fears. The idea is simple: if you are swimming toward the surface while clinging to a heavy rock, you must let it go or you will drown. Recently, while talking with my friend, he compared this idea of “dropping the rock” to my favorite fantasy saga: The Lord of the Rings . It hit me right in the heart. My mind immediately started racing, and the analogies kept lining up. The Lord of the Rings is a story about purification and service!  Dropping the rock IS destroying the Ring. But the way we carry that Ring, who walks with us to destroy it, where it ...

🌙 Faith, Science, and the Moon (Part 2): The Theory of the Two Moons

Image
¡Hare Krishna! In  Part 1 , we shook off the weight of "conspiracy" to focus on something more productive: building bridges. Today, we are diving into some heavy—yet simultaneously subtle—subject matter. How is it possible for an astronaut to walk on a dusty rock while ancient Indian texts describe the Moon as a celestial residence full of nectar and life? To navigate this "turbulence," we need to understand that reality has more than one layer. 1. The Concept of "Double Reality" Imagine you are in your living room. Your eyes tell you the air is "empty," but science tells us something very different. In that same physical space where you only see air, radio waves, Wi-Fi signals, infrared rays, and mobile signals are crossing. All of YouTube and Google are invisibly passing through your room at this very moment, occurring simultaneously, but your biological senses lack the "sensors" to perceive them. You need a specific device to tune in...
