Kulashekhara Maharaja was a Chakravartin (a sage-king) and one of the twelve saintly Alvars of the ancient Vaishnava tradition. He was born in 2075 BC. His famous written work is the Mukunda Mala Stotra, a highly devotional hymn dedicated to Bhagavan Sri Krishna. This livestream/satsangha is the first installment of a series of commentaries on this important work delivered by Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya. It will be followed by a Q&A.
"May Kṛṣṇa, the spiritual master of the three worlds, protect us. Continually bow down to Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa has killed all our enemies. Obeisances to Kṛṣṇa. From Kṛṣṇa alone this world has come into being. I am the servant of Kṛṣṇa. This entire universe rests within Kṛṣṇa. O Kṛṣṇa, please protect me!." (Mukunda Mala Stotra, 43)
"O young cowherd boy! O ocean of mercy! O husband of Lakṣmī, the ocean's daughter! O killer of Kaḿsa! O merciful benefactor of Gajendra! O Mādhava! O younger brother of Balarāma! O spiritual master of the three worlds! O lotus-eyed Lord of the gopīs! I know no one greater than You. Please protect me." (Mukunda Mala Stotra, 44)
"Your wife is the beautiful daughter of the ocean, and Your son is Lord Brahmā. The Vedas are Your eulogist, the demigods comprise Your company of servants, and liberation is Your benediction, while this entire universe is a display of Your mystic power. Śrīmatī Devakī is Your mother, and Arjuna, the son Indra, is Your friend. For these reasons I have no interest in anyone but You." (Mukunda Mala Stotra, 45)

![The Liberated Mind
The Vedic tradition teaches us that our minds can be either our very best friend, or our very worst enemy. In this discussion of the Dharma of the Mind, Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya will explain to us what are the three mental qualities that lead to a liberated mind. Learn how to make your mind your friend!
“I have already explained to you about the three kinds Dharma by its association, respectively, with mind (manah), speech (vak) and action (karma). Among these I shall now explain the Dharma of the mind.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 12.4)
“Faith (shraddha), firmness (dhrti), and tranquility (prasada), these three are the Dharma of the mind. All the other [positive] activities of the mind are considered to be founded on the basis of these three divisions.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 12.5)
“One who has faith acquires knowledge; he is acceptable to the good; he is regarded as the proper man; and he is embraced also by God.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 12.6)
“By firmness one does not fall from the right path (dharma); by firmness one ceases to be bound by sorrow; by firmness one is not deluded by material happiness; by firmness one is not stricken by anxiety.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 12.7)
“Being tranquil, one does not trouble others; being tranquil, one does not become jealous; being tranquil, one does not become greedy; being tranquil, one is always happy.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 12.8)
“When these qualities are found in a man, either as being natural to his essence, or acquired by him by his own effort as a permanent habit of his mind, God is pleased with him.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 12.9)
“Association with people possessing these qualities, or hearing of those great ones, having great knowledge of these people becomes the means of gaining these qualities.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 12.10)
“Whatever is opposed to these three is called adharma. Those addicted to qualities that are opposed to these three come to grief in all their lives, present and future.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 12.11)
“Therefore a devotee of Vishnu, desiring to attain the accomplishment of his object (attaining to liberation) should discipline his mind in the practice of these three qualities.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 12.12)
