The \u201cUrge To Speak\u201d The “Urge To Speak”
\nVaco-vegam means the urge to speak. This was the topic of discussion in our morning Sadhana Class at TKG Academy last week, as older classes study the first verse of the Nectar of Instruction.
\n\u201cWhy would we want to control the urge to speak? When should one DEFINITELY TALK? How to speak pleasantly and for the benefit of others?\u201d Eye-opening discussions ranged from \u201cI won\u2019t interrupt my mom on the phone.\u201d to \u201cWhat if I hurt someone with my words?!\u201d to how to discuss issues that arise naturally in relationships.
\nWas it not such a lovely coincidence that His Holiness Giriraj Swami had given an eye-opening lecture on this very same topic during the recent Kirtan50 festival in Dallas? The few students who had attended quoted his words. Surprisingly, however, Sri Krishna had a special surprise in store for us. That very same Swami, His Holiness Giriraj Maharaj, had agreed to a private darshan with all of us in his quarters!
