- I know that the ghost, if you go in a house ghostly haunted, if you chant Hare Krsna mantra, they'll go away. They cannot tolerate. In my life there was several incidences like that
- I like especially New York, because I started the movement here. And because there are so many branches, if I go they'll become enlivened
- I shall be going to N.Y. and at that time you can send us tickets for going to Boston also. We are three
- I shall gradually pay the balance as I can. Without consideration, however, you were going to take my life. What can I say
- I understand you are going to apply for legal recognition of Krishna Consciousness as a bona fide religious organization, and try to obtain a tax franchise also. They have done this in London also
- I want that my books and literatures be distributed profusely, so try to do this, especially when you go in the schools and colleges
- I was going to Europe via New York, I asked you to pick up some file "Vrindaban" ("Radha Damodara Temple") and you picked it. I told you that this file is very important and keep it carefully
- If a child can do it, you cannot do it? What is the difficulty? If you offer a flower to the Deity, if you offer your obeisances . . . the child, it's learning. Don't think it is going for nothing. Everything is calculated
- If a king, who is desirous of attaining victory and ruling power, chants the narration of Prthu Maharaja three times before going forth on his chariot, all subordinate kings will automatically render all kinds of taxes unto him
- If by chanting Hare Krsna mantra we can approach God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, why it should remain secret? It should be distributed like anything so that everyone can go. So there is no secrecy
- If he is not satisfied with the standard of lectures in our temple, then he should be permitted to give some lectures himself, but this habit of going outside to hear others should be stopped immediately

- If it is possible for ordinary human being that he is sitting in one place, and still, things are going on by management of his energy, so why not Krsna, the Supreme Lord? He is sitting in one place
- If Krsna's inferior energy may appear to go with us, is it not possible for Krsna Himself to be with us when we are chanting His names? He will keep us company, but we have to qualify to be in His company
- If one goes further and becomes a meditator, one will find that God is situated within one's heart
- If one has to learn spiritual science, then he must consult some bona fide spiritual master, in India. So people are not going there, neither Government has any arrangement to educate this spiritual science. Therefore I have come to your country

- If one is suffering, that is his own fault. Just like in the hospital you'll go, you'll find so many patients are starving. Does it mean the patients are starving for want of food? No. He must starve; otherwise he will not be cured. That is destiny
- If one misses this opportunity (attach mind to Krsna), one does not know where he is going, how long he will remain in the cycle of birth and death, and when he will again achieve the human form of life and the chance to return home, back to Godhead
- If one remains with a devotee, he will not forget Krsna. That is the advantage. Just like when you go, people address you, "Hare Krsna!" Oh, it is very great benefit. Automatically they chant Hare Krsna

- If the Supreme Being is maintaining millions of trillions of living entities, He is great, or the living entities who are maintained by God, they are great? Therefore God is great & we are subordinate. This is natural conclusion. How you can go otherwise
- If we accept the Vedic civilization, which is in nutshell - everything is there in the Bhagavad-gita - then the whole world will be Vaikuntha. You haven't got to go in the Vaikuntha. Here you'll have Vaikuntha. And next life will be Vaikuntha
- If we are accustomed to the beastly mentality like dogs and hog, then naturally we are going to get such body. But if we practice during this life, human form of life, while we are intelligent enough, godly life, then you are going back to home, BTG
- If we are full with Krishna vitality, then wherever we go the audience will be impregnated with Krishna Consciousness
- If we do not know where to go, then we will simply say, "Oh, we do not know what is superior and inferior. All we know is this, so let us stay here and rot." Bhagavad-gita however, gives us information of the superior energy, the superior nature
- If we get opportunity, preaching facilities for going on car, on airplane, using typewriter, dictaphone, microphone, we must use it. Because this is Krsna's property, it must be used for Krsna. This is our philosophy
- If we go deep into the water, we find aquatics; if we go into the sky, we find so many birds. How is it possible to conclude that other planets have no living entities
- If we go deeply into the matter and consider it in the light of modern science, it is possible for us to see that sanatana-dharma is the business of all the people of the world. BG 1972 Introduction

- If we go village to village. The village people are still pure, at least not so polluted as the town people, or especially the so-called educated
- If we remain sincere and go on chanting, these dangers will be over. Don't be afraid. Don't stop your regular regulative principles and regular activities, program. Go on with it
- If we want to go still further and acquire knowledge transcendental, we must first of all seek qualified transcendental preceptors who can lead us on the path

- If you are actually serious about going back to home, back to Godhead, then please seek after the mercy of Nityananda
- If you are not strong enough, then association will induce or influence. If you are not a Vaisnava, then if you go in a brothel or a liquor house, then you will be influenced by the drunkards and prostitute-hunters

- If you say God is beyond your experience, that you have no experience of God. This is clear meaning. Why do you go round about
- If you say that "Krsna is all pervading. Why shall I come to the temple?" And why not in the temple if He's all-pervading? But you say, "No, I am not going to see in the temple. I shall see outside in the sky." Then you don't see
- If you say that you disagree with Bhaktivedanta Swami - you worship demigods - so how many demigods' temple you have established?" They challenge like that. If you say that you are worshiper of Lord Siva, why don't you go and establish a Siva temple

- If you take the lift of bhakti, then immediately you come in contact with Krsna directly, instead of going by step by step by step

- Krsna is providing so much facilities for becoming Krsna conscious, and why should we deviate and spoil this life, take the risk of again going into the cycle of birth and death? Commonsense affair
