A recording of Evolution in Divine Love, a webinar with Swami Padmanabha on September 6, 2024 with the Center for Christogenesis. (Does not include Q&A)

According to Gaudiya Vaishnavism, divine love is a force of constant expansion which surely affects God, who is love personified. A God affected by ever-evolving love becomes equally ever-evolving, thus dismantling outdated paradigms of a changeless and static Absolute. In turn, this invites each of us to a never-ending and awe-inspiring journey of perpetual development, under the influence of an ever-fresh love and an ever-fresh God fallen in love. Since reality exists as a holarchy of interconnected wholes, even matter becomes entangled in this sacred equation. Based on the Gaudiya Vaishnava perspective but also drawing from other wisdom traditions, this presentation explores the “ever-evolvingness” of love, God, soul, and matter, and how embracing such a dynamic perspective of life can influence and transform both our lives and the world we live in.
