Episode Ep 92 - Whaitiri Tua-Warbrick (The Polar Express 2004)

"The Polar Express" (2004) is a divisive movie, in which 6 separate Tom Hankses (Toms Hanks?) hold conversations with one another in different voices and neither of the two primary characters actually have names. It attempts to adapt a very quiet, dreamlike picture book into a riotous early 00's 3D animated adventure movie and makes a series of completely deranged choices in trying to bridge that gap. It's also one of Whai's favourite movies, due in part to being one of the three he owned as a kid young enough to be in this movie's target audience.

Episode 54 - Chapter 29 The Rasa Dance - Introduction Pages 217-221

Jagdish presents short talk number 55 from Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, continuing Chapter 29, “The Rāsa Dance Introduction.” This episode explores the full moon night of the Śarat season, Krishna’s call to the gopis through the sound of his flute, and the spiritual meaning of the rāsa dance as distinct from ordinary material attraction. Jagdish reflects on Yogamaya and Mahamaya, the difference between love and lust, and the devotional mood of the gopis as they leave their worldly duties to respond to Krishna.
