- Srila Rupa Gosvami and his assistants, under the instructions of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, have all written various literatures for the guidance of prospective devotees
- Srila Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami began their spiritual lives at a very old age, that is, after they retired from their occupations and family lives. Yet they presented many valuable literatures for the advancement of spiritual life
- Srila Sukadeva Gosvami had already attained that stage, and still he was attracted to undergo the trouble of studying the great Bhagavatam literature
- Srila Vyasadeva's compilation of different Vedic literatures on the basis of regulated performances of fruitive activities as depicted in the Mahabharata and other literature is condemned herewith by Srila Narada
- Srimad-Bhagavatam does not approve this viewpoint. Even the great transcendental scholar Vyasadeva had need of a spiritual master, and under the instruction of his spiritual master, Narada, he prepared this sublime literature, Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Srimad-Bhagavatam gives information about the Absolute Truth in His personal feature. It is higher than impersonalist literatures and higher than the jnana-kanda division of the Vedas
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is accepted as the essence of all Vedic literature and Vedanta philosophy. Whoever tastes the transcendental mellow of Srimad-Bhagavatam is never attracted to any other literature
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is not like ordinary fiction or mundane literature. It is unlimited in strength, and however one may expand it according to one's own ability, Bhagavatam still cannot be finished by such expansion
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is not only a superior literature but is the ripened fruit of all Vedic literatures. In other words, it is the cream of all Vedic knowledge. Considering all this, patient and submissive hearing is definitely essential
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is not only a superior literature but that it is the ripened fruit of all Vedic literatures
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is the essence of all Vedanta knowledge and that one who relishes the knowledge of Srimad-Bhagavatam has no taste for studying any other literature
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is the essence of all Vedanta philosophy. Any person who has become attached in some way or other to the reading of Srimad-Bhagavatam cannot have any taste for reading any other literature
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is the topmost theological science, and therefore it can react on the laymen as medicinal doses. Because it contains the transcendental activities of the Lord, there is no difference between the Lord and the literature
- Srimad-Bhagavatam, or, for that matter, any other scientific literature, cannot be studied at home by one's own intellectual capacity
- Sruti, the Vedas, smrti, the Puranas and other literatures, dharma-sastra, smrti-sastra and Purana, pancarati-vidhi - without reference to all these authentic literature, any kind of devotional activities are not accepted by the Gosvamis
- Sruti-smrti-pramana - citing evidence from the Vedas and the corollary literature - is the only method for making a spiritual statement. You have to take it
- Such literature, including newspapers, dramas, novels and magazines, is factually not meant for advancement in spiritual knowledge. Indeed, it has been described as a place of enjoyment for crows - tad vayasam tirtham
- Such literatures (modern fictions and novels) cannot do good to anyone; on the contrary, they agitate the young mind unnecessarily and increase the modes of passion and ignorance, leading to increasing bondage to the material conditions
- Such literatures (Puranas) should be discussed in the assembly of devotees. Unless they are discussed by devotees, such literatures cannot be relished by the higher class of men
- Such literatures (which are full of subject matter for satisfaction of the material senses) contain different kinds of mundane poems and philosophical speculations, more or less under the influence of maya, ending in sense gratification
- Such simple habits did not deteriorate his (Chanakya Pandit's) high intelligence and dignity and as such he had compiled many useful literatures which are still read by millions for social and political guidance
T
- That literature is full of transcendental words directed toward bringing about a revolution in the impious lives of this world's misdirected civilization
- That literature is full of transcendental words directed toward bringing about a revolution in the impious lives of this world's misdirected civilization - SB 1.5.11
- That literature which does not conform to Vedic literature is simply misleading
- The acarya or the gosvami must be well acquainted with all these literatures. To hear and explain them is more important than reading them
- The acaryas, Rupanuga, Gosvamis, they left literature, but they did not attempt to preach practically. And Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, he was very, very anxious to preach this Caitanya cult in the Western countries
- The atmosphere is already polluted with corruption of all description, and everyone knows it well. There are so many unwanted literatures full of materialistic ideas of sense gratification
- The best source of our income should be by accepting contributions from the sympathetic public, and selling our own books and literature. That is also a sort of business, but it doesn't matter
- The Bhagavad-gita is one of the popular literatures which are generally heard, chanted, repeated by the people in general, but in spite of such hearing, sometimes it is experienced that the performer of such DS does not see the Lord eye to eye
- The Brahma-samhita says that the sun is the king with unlimited light and temperature. The Srimad-Bhagavatam sublime literature describes all these things and it was written five thousand years ago
- The daughter of Kala (Time) cannot overcome a Vaisnava. Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami engaged in writing Caitanya-caritamrta when he was very old, yet he presented the most wonderful literature about the activities of Lord Caitanya
- The difficulty is that such literatures (Puranas), when discussed by professional men, appear to be mundane literature like histories or epics because there are so many historical facts and figures
- The ecstatic transformations of the body described in such exalted literatures as the Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu are practically not seen in this material world. However, these symptoms were perfectly present in the body of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- The fiction writers, poets and celebrated litterateurs are generally engaged in writing of sensuous subjects, but if they turn towards the service of the Lord they can describe the transcendental pastimes of the Lord
- The Gita is above such literature (of the common man). No mundane book compares with the Bhagavad-gita. When one accepts Krsna as an ordinary man, the Gita loses all importance. BG 1972 purports
- The glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are studied through the three Vedas, the Upanisads, the literature of Sankhya-yoga, and other Vaisnava literature, yet mother Yasoda considered that Supreme Person her ordinary child - SB 10.8.45
- The great rsis like Vyasa had no business putting some imaginary stories in their literatures
- The idea is like that of a Bible society in India which distributes millions of dollars in the shape of biblical literature without any consideration of return. Similarly, we have to sacrifice each $750 on this principle
- The krsna-katha is not a subject matter for debating club. It is meant for the devotees. Without devotees, nobody can understand. The others who are not devotee, they simply waste their time in reading Bhagavad-gita or Srimad-Bhagavatam, such literature
- The literature which does not describe Krsna, that is the place for the crows. There is sex literature, they're enjoyed by the crows, and this Bhagavatam is enjoyed by the swans. That is the difference
- The little idea of God is there, certainly, in every literature, every scripture, but those who are too much disturbed, they cannot accept it. Vata. Just like if your ship is on the ocean and it is being tossed by heavy wind, you cannot sit very nicely
- The Lord (Caitanya) was at once carried to the home of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, who at that time had sufficient power of authority due to his being the sabha-pandita, or the state dean of faculty in Sanskrit literatures
- The Lord excavated from South India two very important old literatures, namely the Brahma-samhita and Krsna-karnamrta
- The offenses (to the holy names) are: (c) to disobey the instructions of the spiritual master (d) to blaspheme the Vedic literatures and those compiled in pursuance of the Vedic literatures, (e) to comment that the glories of the holy name are exaggerated
- The offenses against the chanting of the holy name are as follows: (3) To disobey the orders of the spiritual master. (4) To blaspheme the Vedic literature or literature in pursuance of the Vedic version
- The other day we discussed about literature which is very nicely composed from literary point of view or poetic or rhetoric
- The paper industry cuts many hundreds and thousands of trees for its mills, and with the paper so much rubbish literature is published for the whimsical satisfaction of human society
- The paper mills should manufacture paper only for the publication of ISKCON literature because ISKCON literature is published for the service of Lord Visnu
- The people in general want to read (that is a natural instinct), but because their minds are polluted they want such literatures
- The people of the Western country, they are fond of reading books and by propaganda work we have to change their taste and divert them from reading all worldly literatures, to transcendental literature
- The pleasure in such literature (mundane literature), after it is read once, becomes stale, and people do not take any interest in reading such literature repeatedly
- The police and Government men will gradually understand us and naturally their harassment will diminish. The same thing is happening everywhere. So prepare excellent literatures, that will enhance our prestige
- The Puranas accepted by the Vaisnavas are also considered Vedic evidence. Indeed, whatever is contained in that literature should be taken without argument as the ultimate conclusion
- The Puranas, which are accepted by the Vaisnavas, are considered to be Vedic evidence. Indeed, whatever is contained in that literature should be taken as the ultimate conclusion & these literatures proclaim Krsna to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- The real purpose of such literatures (Srila Vyasadeva's books) is not so much to present topics of historical references, but to revive the people's sense of God consciousness
- The reason is that the Lord reserves the right of not exposing Himself to the nondevotee who, even after a thorough study of literature like the Bhagavad-gita, remains an impersonalist simply by obstinacy
- The Rg Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, Atharva Veda, Mahabharata, Pancaratra and the original Valmiki Ramayana are all Vedic literatures. Any literature following the conclusive statements of these Vedic literatures is also to be considered Vedic literature
- The spirit soul is of the same pure quality in any embodiment of matter, but those who are not sufficiently intelligent see only the bodily differences between animals and men, literates and illiterates, rich and poor, which cover the pure spirit soul
- The Srimad-Bhagavatam is the sublime literature which surpasses all other Vedic scriptures due to its transcendental qualities. It is transcendental to all mundane activities and mundane knowledge
- The subject matter of BTG should be very grave. It should not be made a joking, comical literature. The subject matter is that everyone should know who is Krishna. So present it in philosophical way but with simple language
- The taste of people in general is exploited by unfortunate literatures, which are full of subject matter for satisfaction of the material senses
- The Vaisnava tantras are bona fide literatures, just like Narada-pancaratra, but not the atheistic tantra which have nothing to do with the Vedic literatures
- The Vedas are made just to revive the forgotten consciousness of the conditioned souls, and any literature not meant for reviving God consciousness is rejected at once by the narayana-para devotees
- Theoretical knowledge of love of God can be found in many places and in many scriptures, but what that love of Godhead actually is and how it is developed can be found in the Vaisnava literatures - CC Intro
- There are a thousand and one rash literatures on the market, but one who has taken interest in the Srimad-Bhagavatam loses all interest in such filthy literatures
- There are descriptions of Krsna found in the Brahma-samhita and other literatures. One should fix his mind on this original form of Godhead, Krsna. He should not even divert his attention to other forms of the Lord. BG 1972 purports
- There are different kinds of literature for different types of men of different mentality
- There are full literatures describing the activities of the Lord, especially Bhagavad-gita, Brahma-samhita and Srimad-Bhagavatam
- There are so many literatures which fill our thoughts with the material energy - newspapers, novels, etc. Our thinking, which is now absorbed in these literatures, must be transferred to the Vedic literatures. BG 1972 Introduction
- There are so many literatures, books, are published nowadays. After one year, two years, three years - finished. Nobody cares for it. Nobody cares for it
- There are so many literatures, they place Radharani as ordinary baladar(?) woman because they do not understand. So therefore Sanatana Gosvami has forbidden strictly, - Don't hear from the professional men who are not situated in the Vaisnava behavior
- There are so many nonsensical literatures, stories and books of speculative philosophy. Materialistic persons are very interested in reading such literature
- There are very learned scholars who have put forward the philosophy of devotion but even if a devotee does not take advantage of their literatures or of his spiritual master, if he is sincere in DS he is helped by Krsna within his heart. BG 1972 purports
- There is a proverb in Sanskrit literature that enthusiastic persons achieve the favor of the Goddess of Fortune. In the Western part of the world there is tangible example of this slogan
- There is diacritic marks, literation, transliteration, so everyone should try to chant the mantra. That is very beneficial. That is kirtana. Kirtanad eva krsnasya. Everything is being chanted in relationship with Krsna, with reference to Krsna
- There is no difference between Bhagavad-gita and Bhagavan. Sabda-brahman. So Bhagavad-gita should not be taken as ordinary literature, that one can comment on it by so-called ABCD knowledge. No. That is not possible
- There is no literature throughout the universe like Srimad-Bhagavatam. There is no comparison. There is no competition. Every word is for the good of the human society
- There is, another kind of katha-krsna-katha. There are literatures which may be nicely presented from the literary point of view, but if there is no glorification of the Supreme Lord, they are useless
- Therefore one should refrain from hearing the lectures of such professional men. Such men usually go to the most confidential part of the literature without undergoing the gradual process of understanding this grave subject
- These books, these literatures, I mean to say, Vedic literatures, are meant for restricting our life and elevating ourself
- These devotees (the members of the ISKCON) distribute various literatures all over the world. We hope that these devotees who are preaching the message of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu will very seriously follow strictly in His footsteps
- These fools (who consider krsna-lila to be a subject of art) take pleasure in material sense gratification, but one who wants to make advancement in spiritual life must scrupulously avoid their literature
- These literatures (such as Vedas, Upanisads, Purananas) are not meant for any particular class of men but for the totality of human society. All societies can take advantage of Vedic knowledge to perfect human life
- These literatures were not very cheap, and only highly qualified brahmanas were able to keep them. They were worshiped in the temple as the sastra Deity. It is not that they were available everywhere
- These literatures, although worthless in the true sense of the term, are variously decorated to attract the attention of the less intelligent men
- These mantras (vedic hymns), chanted according to the sruti and smrti literatures, are only to please Lord Visnu
- They (American boys and girls) do not know what is happening from day to day, and it does not matter. All of this is a waste of time. It is better that they read literatures like Srimad-Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita. Why waste one's valuable time
- They (Krsna and Balarama) learned how to draw and read pictographic literature
- They (Rupa Govami and Sanatana Gosvami) did not live even two nights under the same tree, and what to speak of well-furnished rooms with modern amenities. And still they were able to give us most important literatures of self-realization
- They (the impersonalists) may be good scholars in the Vedic literatures, they are practically ignorant of My (God's) inconceivable energies and My eternal forms of personality
- They (the six Gosvamis) remained in Vrndavana to execute the orders of Sri Caitanya by compiling and publishing various Vaisnava literatures
- They are (market literatures) full of subject matter described in decorative language full of mundane similes and metaphorical arrangements. Yet with all that, they do not glorify the Lord
- They'll pay to make a literature with bombastic scientific word, and they'll prepare literature. This literature will be distributed and give their medicine, and they may pay them for false propaganda. This is going on to introduce new patent medicine
- This (Teachings of Lord Caitanya) is not only the philosophy of Caitanya-caritamrta but of Srimad-Bhagavatam as well. There are no other literatures in the world in which God is treated as the son of a devotee
- This Brahma-samhita was accepted by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who copied it when He toured South India. Formerly there were no presses to print these literatures, and these important Vedic writings were written by hand
- This is a verse (of CC Antya 8.80) from the nyaya literatures
- This is Bhagavata. In one line, the whole material existence explained. This is literature. In one line, there is thousands years' research work. In one line. Bhave 'smin
- This is stated in the dramatic literatures as "perfect," "more perfect" and "most perfect." Thus Lord Krsna manifests Himself in three ways - perfect, more perfect and most perfect
- This is the secret of modern fashionable interpretation. Suppose you have got some conviction, and if you want to establish it by evidence of an approved literature
- This Jagannatha Deity was established by one King Indradyumna about more than three thousand years ago. This temple is very old. Even in some literatures of your Christian religion I find that Lord Jesus Christ also went to this Jagannatha temple
- This literature (Srimad Bhagavatam), which is called Vaisnava literature, should not be heard from a person who is not a devotee. This point I have several times stressed
- This requires a great amount of knowledge (to understand how a living entity leaves his present body & what form of body he is going to take in next life) understood from BG & similar literatures heard from a bona fide spiritual master. BG 1972 purports
- Those persons who are busy with the mundane inquiries which fill the newspapers and other such literatures are classified as stri-sudra-dvija-bandhus, or women, the laborer class and unworthy sons of the higher classes - brahmana, ksatriya and vaisya
- Those who are karmis, jnanis or yogis are not actually fit to discuss Srimad-Bhagavatam. Only Vaisnavas, or pure devotees, are fit to discuss that literature
- Through the schools or colleges, libraries, life membership program or ordinary sales, we must push on this literature distribution program. It is so important and a most valuable service to Krishna.
- To attract them to really nice prasadam, palatable food, we shall spend. And we shall earn also by literature, produce, as they're earning. Where is the difficulty
- To become happy in this life and attain a permanent blissful life after leaving this material body, one must study this sacred literature and obtain transcendental knowledge
- To properly execute celibacy, one should not even think or even talk of sex life. Reading modern literature and newspapers which are filled with sexual material is also against the principles of brahmacarya
- To read nonsense ordinary literature and books or newspaper is compared just like the pleasure place of the crows. The crows, they are very much attached to the rejected refuse, garbage
- Trees are cut for the publication of demoniac propaganda, nonsensical literature, huge quantities of newspapers and many other paper products. This is a sign of a demoniac civilization
- Trivikrama Swami has published one Chinese literature, On the Way to Krishna. I have not read it of course, but it appears very nice, with my photo on the cover
- Two words are used in Sanskrit literature; one is grhastha, and the other is grhamedhi
V
- Vaisnava literature, Bhagavata literature, should be translated into English and distributed all over the world. That is lokanam hita-karinau, to benefit the whole human society. Not to remain crippled within a boundary
- Vyasadeva compiled Srimad-Bhagavatam, under the instruction of Narada, so that anyone can take advantage of this literature, think of Krsna's pastimes and always be liberated
- Vyasadeva has given this literature (Srimad-Bhagavatam) so that everyone may understand one's transcendental position simply by discussing bhagavata-katha
- Vyasadeva, the most learned, vidvams cakre satvata-samhitam, he has done this satvata, Vaisnava literature, Srimad-Bhagavatam. That is the only solution. These rascals, they have created problems
W
- We are not manufacturing ourself. What we have heard from the parampara system, from higher authorities, we are presenting simply in our own language, and the evidence is this Vedic verse. This is perfect literature
- We have given the list of qualification of a devotee. One of the qualification is poetic. Poetic means not write poetry. Poetic means literary man. They must give literature. Naturally they'll give. That is the nature of devotee
- We have no such qualification that we can compose very nice literature. There may be so many mistakes or . . . whatever it may be. But it is revolutionary. Otherwise, why big, big scholars, professors, university authorities, librarians, they are taking?
- We have now sufficient literatures. Now go on preaching this cult for the complete welfare activities in the human societies
- We have to check to see if a person is capable of giving instructions in Bhagavad-gita and other literatures of God realization
- We have to follow the Gosvamis literature, especially Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, which we have translated in The Nectar of Devotion, every one of you should very carefully read & make progress. Don't be victimized by the Mayavadi so-called Vaisnava
- We have to prepare literatures both in English and French and have to draw the attention of the university students as our members
- We must expose these rascals by strong preaching and profuse distribution of these Krsna Conscious literatures
- When Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu visited Varahanagara, now a suburb of Calcutta, He stayed in the house of a most fortunate brahmana (Bhagavata Acarya) who was a very learned scholar in Bhagavata literature
- When men have a taste for this literature (Bhgavad-Gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam), the other literatures, which are catering poison to society, will then automatically cease
- When one factually knows the opulences of the Supreme, there is no alternative but to surrender to Him. This factual knowledge can be known from the descriptions in Srimad-Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita and similar literatures. BG 1972 purports
- When the members of a temple go into the streets, they do not do so for their own sake but to distribute Krsna conscious literatures in order to make people aware of Krsna's presence
- When you study very carefully all of the literature which is available, especially Bhagavad Gita As It Is, you will have in your grasp answers to all questions that may be put to you
- Who can produce such literature as Vyasadeva has given? From any angle of vision, from literary point of view, from philosophical point of view - everything, so perfect, every literature, Mahabharata, Puranas and Vedanta - Veda-vyasa, he has given
- Without hearing such literatures, one cannot make actual progress. And without hearing and following the instructions, the show of devotional service becomes worthless and therefore a sort of disturbance in the path of devotional service
- Without worshiping the arca-vigraha, the form or Deity of the Lord, one cannot understand such literature as Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Worldly literatures are like places where crows take pleasure. In the bird society, there are crows and swans, and crows are interested in places where filthy things are thrown
Y
- Yajna must be performed, as indicated by the superior authorities. The cutting of trees simply to manufacture paper for the publication of unwanted literature is the greatest sinful act
- You have introduced this college program, in Buffalo. Make it perfect by infiltrating every school-college in your country, give them pure Krishna philosophy, the highest knowledge. This is a great proposal for distributing books, literature & philosophy
- You have to understand the position of God. In every literature, in every scripture: "God said: 'Let there be creation.' So there was creation." So creation is the universe. So God created this universe. So if you love God, then you love the universe
- You shall try to learn the various literatures very carefully and present everywhere in classes and books, that is very good. This is a nice idea and if you can do it, it is great service and Krsna will bless you
- You take any literature, any Vedic literature, religious literature, you'll find that the whole literature, whole knowledge, is aiming at Krsna. That is the purport of all Vedas and religious scripture
- Your Samkirtan Movement is going on even with no house, so there is no cause of lamentation. You must go on with Samkirtan and selling our literature, never mind there is temple or not
