A

• A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, Acarya
• Actually it is my dream to have such a perfect community established fully in Krsna Consciousness
• Actually it was my original idea that our press should print many smaller books by the millions
• Actually my mission is to establish hundreds and thousands of Temples like the one which I have established in London and other places
• Addressed as Prabhupada
• After the breakdown of the Gaudiya Matha, I wanted to organize another organization, making Sridhara Maharaja head
• All along I have been discouraged in every way by my Godbrothers, but still I have stuck to my duty, keeping my Spiritual Master always in front
• All these newses are to me life-giving ambrosia, so the more you open branches, the more I increase my duration of life
• Anyone who cannot collect money, they should go to Mayapur and live there and simply eat and sleep, like women and widows. I shall arrange for their eating and sleeping
• Approved by me (Letters)
• Are you attempting to form a college?
• Are you married, sir? You say you have no connection with your family? Why? To do this, did you have to divorce? When did you renounce your family? How are they managing without you? Do you ever see them at all?
• As soon as a center is open and my disciples conduct it nicely, it gives me Vaikuntha bliss
• As soon as you get time, read. I do that
• As you are my appointed leader, you must also see that the others are following very strictly the regulative principles like chanting 16 rounds, reading my books regularly, rising early for mangala aratrika
• Assist me
• At the age of seventy years by the grace of Krsna there was inspiration

B

• BTG is my life and soul
• Because I love Krsna, therefore I have come to your country
• Before I came to your country, I was thinking to establish an ideal Vedic community
• Before me so many swamis came in this country, they could not present the real thing
• Bhaktivinoda, Bhaktisiddhanta, Srila Prabhupada and Lord Caitanya's great prediction
• By My command you become a guru and save this land. This was also the mission of my guru maharaj and it is my mission. You will perfect your life if you make it also your mission
• By service, you are not only in touch with me, but my Predecessors, the Acaryas, up to Krishna

C

• Can Krsna give us the ability to someday remember every word that you are saying to us now?
• Carrying out my instructions
• Certainly the 12 GBC members are being trained up strictly under my guidance so that they will protect the interest of the society very, very carefully
• Consult me (Letters)

D

• Distribute my books profusely. They will someday realize how valuable books we have left them
• Do not mix yourself with my so-called god-brothers
• Do you have children?
• Does it ever happen, Swamiji, that some disciples of yours may disagree with you in spiritual matters?
• Don't be a better paramahamsa than your Guru Maharaja
• Due to my incessant hard work for the last two years, my health has been shattered

E

• Editing of my lectures may be a hard task for you but it will prove an examination test for you as how far you have heard me attentively

F

• Fighting is going on everywhere. It is not a good sign. I know the fight spirit is there in you, within the Westerners, that even if you do not care to fight, someone will induce you to fight
• Follow my instructions (Letters)
• Founder Acarya
• Founder and Acarya
• From Gaurakisora dasa Babaji, my spiritual master, and then we are descended

G

• God is living. Swamiji has brought in sankirtana

H

• He is intelligent, but Nandarani is still more intelligent. (laughs) I know that. Both of them are intelligent, but this girl appears to be more intelligent. That's all right
• He is my old god brother. Sincere Vaisnava. Please treat him like your father
• He'll do the needful when the time comes
• Help me in my mission
• Here is a real Swami
• How a man of seventy years old, without any hope, could go to such distant place from Vrndavana to New York? The only platform was utsaha
• How did you manage to get your first Bhagavatams printed?
• How many other people are there on this planet who have made as much spiritual progress as you have?

I

• I act like a king because no one can defeat me
• I always think of our Juhu place, and I want that it shall be the model for all the world to emulate and respect as the perfect example of a Krishna Conscious community
• I am international. I don't believe in this national or statewise. I never believed
• I am just doing the work of a bearer. There is nothing of my personal contribution and I ask all your mercy so that I may be able to distribute Krishna's message as it is without any deviation
• I am pushing on this Krsna consciousness movement, I am doing so many things which sometimes my Godbrothers out of envy criticize. But I know what is the circumstances how to do it. They do not know it. I know my business
• I am trying to live at least up to the time I finish my translation of Bhagavatam. I do not wish to die before I finish
• I came here not to ask for any money. But I want to give lesson. This is brahmana's business

I cont.

• I came to give you Krsna consciousness
• I came to your country in ripe old age, but I had one asset: enthusiasm and faith in my Spiritual Master
• I cannot become liberal and tell everybody, "Go ahead and do all nonsense and you can become God conscious." I cannot possibly recommend that
• I cannot go beyond what the sastra says
• I do not care very much for these plays and dramas unless they are coming directly from the Vedas
• I do not know why our disciples are so anxious to take sannyasa, at least those who are outside. Everyone comes: "Give me sannyasa." What is the idea?
• I don't accept any cheap student or cheap disciple
• I feel encouraged to act so busily day and night
• I had no quarrel with them
• I have fully explained my views authoritatively
• I have given my program. You tackle, GBC men. At least, don't make me Alexander the Great in my lifetime
• I have heard - Prabhupada (Conversations)
• I have heard - Prabhupada (Letters)
• I hope you will understand me right
• I know Jesus is a powerful representative of God
• I note that your wife and Visalaini both gave birth to baby girls. That is the defect. I want male children but you have no stamina for it. I expected from Visalaini by her belly that it would be a boy. Anyway, never mind
• I once had a dream like this; that we would have a moving temple on the water, going from town to town
• I planned that "I must go to America."
• I recommend...
• I remember the words of my Guru Maharaja when he told me that wherever there was money it should be used to print books, not that we shall have big big temples and then fight in the court
• I remember when I was first called for speaking by one of my senior Godbrothers. I felt very much hesitating because I was not practiced to speak
• I said it long ago, that we are trying to make Brahmanas from anywhere in the world
• I saw one hotel man in Calcutta cutting the throat of a chicken; he was laughing and his son was crying
• I say that there must be educational institution for training brahmana, ksatriya especially
• I say, the secret of my wonderful activities is that I have not tried to adulterate it
• I shall devote my full time to giving you further nice books
• I shall restrain my moving and my main business will be henceforward to train you all my disciples for preaching work
• I shall send 25 copies of KRSNA on or before the Rathayatra. I wish that the selling of this important book be begun on this auspicious day
• I shall try my best to do this job
• I sleep four hours
• I sleep three to four hours total
• I started out with this kind of paper, only I was the only writer, the only editor, the only publisher, and the only distributer
• I thank all of you very much for accepting me as your spiritual master, and I promise that I will take you back to home, back to Godhead
• I thank you for your appreciation that you accept me on the superhuman platform
• I was just creating the situation how I shall serve my spiritual master
• I was not desiring to take medicine, but my parents desired. That desire should be forced
• I wasn't very much in comfortable situation. Still I had the strength of mind, and I continued to stay
• I will never die, I shall live for my books, and you will utilize
• I wish that each and every Branch shall keep their independent identity and cooperate keeping the Acarya in the centre
• I worked very hard. Two times lectures, cooking, and meeting and twenty-four-hours writing book, typing. Not a single moment, and still I am not wasting single moment
• I write in the night
• I, THE UNDERSIGNED ACHARYA
• If I could induce even one person to Krishna Consciousness through my publication, Bhagavad-gita As It Is, then I shall think my labor is successful
• If I create one moon, that is sufficient. I don't want many stars. That was my Guru Maharaja's principle, and that is my principle
• If I defeat my godbrothers, then I am worthy to be called the guru of the Americans
• If I die before finishing the whole task
• If it isn't very serious, I think you should ask Aniruddha not to be affected by such flimsy disagreement
• If our men are cheated, if they agree to be cheated, how can I stop them?
• If the Prabhus have surrendered to the Prabhupada, why there shall be such mentality of occupying the superior position? This is contradictory
• If the younger generation like you will cooperate with me, I am certain this movement will give the western youngsters a transcendental gift which will be recorded in the progress of history
• If there is question or not understanding in the course of a class, if the proper answer cannot be given, if one sincerely approaches you within the heart, then you will give understanding?
• If these recordings can be attuned in the same technical perfection, then under my direction we can produce at least one dozen Hare Krishna recordings in varieties of tunes
• If they see me they immediately fall down flat
• If we are not at the purified stage, then why is the temple president a representative of yourself?
• If we wish to present the real traditional cultural ideas of India to the western public, we have to present to them the teachings of Lord Krishna as they are. That is my mission
• If you are able to arrange everything so that I can simply sit in my room and be seen by the world and speak to the world, then I shall never leave Los Angeles
• If you do not do anything there, then that will be a great discredit for me and I will not defeat my Godbrothers as I desire

I cont.

• If you feel at all indebted to me then you should preach vigorously like me; that is the proper way to repay me
• If you quarrel amongst yourselves it will be detrimental to my missionary ambition
• If your children do not become Vaisnava in the future, then it is a great, I meant to say, fault on your part. So you should be very cautious, careful, that children are not going astray, they are becoming actually Krsna conscious
• Immediately begin Deity worship as Kirtanananda and Brahmananda is doing, and I am sure this process, helped by your regular chanting, will kill Mr. Lust, rest assured
• In Berkeley University, one Indian student asked me
• In my absence
• In my childhood I used to take my ratha with my little friends, about 60 years ago
• In my childhood, Radha-Govindaji were the source of my enjoyment
• In my presence (Prabhupada)
• In this institution, I am guru, and if everyone becomes guru, then who will carry out the order of guru?
• Inform me
• Is it possible to become a devotee without actually having personal association with you, just by reading your books?
• Is it true, Srila Prabhupada, that sometimes the spiritual master has to suffer if his disciples act in sinful ways?
• Is there any method for dissent within your movement? Or change?
• It is my ideology that this Krsna consciousness movement can solve all the problems of conditioned life. We can make all the people of the world united in this simple method of chanting Mahamantra
• It is not that I doubt, no. You can say that is my qualification
• It is useless to expect a large number of followers. We want only one good follower. If I can get one man to become Krsna conscious, I will consider my mission fulfilled
• It was so kind of you that you have sent me a Birthday cake

K

• Karandhara proposes to establish a rival ISKCON Press in Los Angeles. This is a very good idea. It will accelerate my work
• Keep me informed
• Krishna informed me that I'm not going to die immediately; therefore, I have come back again to get inspiration of Krishna Consciousness from you all good souls
• Krsna has sent so many fathers to love me
• Krsna sent me...

M

• Many times they give me very great credit that I have done wonderful. Yes, I have done wonderful. But what is the reason? Because I am not a rascal. I speak what Krsna has spoken. That's all. Very easy
• My Guru Maharaja gave me a task and always I was discouraged by my god-brothers, but I did not forget him even for a moment, and I was determined to follow my duty, even though sometimes I did not like to do it
• My Guru Maharaja passed in 1936, and I started this movement in 1965, thirty years after. Then? I am getting the mercy of guru. This is vani
• My Guru Maharaja was very kind upon me because I was very much interested to hear him
• My Krsna consciousness movement
• My advise is always chant 16 rounds minimum and follow the four regulative principles. All of my disciples must agree on this point otherwise they are not my disciples
• My aim is that I want to start at least 108 centers during my lifetime
• My angle of vision is that throughout the whole world everyone is good and innocent, only they have been misled and corrupted by rascal leaders
• My anxiety
• My concern (Letters)
• My declaration of war against the maya is certainly a great battle
• My duty (Letters)
• My endeavors might be sincere, but without their cooperation I could not have executed my mission so quickly
• My example
• My father was pure Vaisnava and he gave me and my sister the Radha Krishna Deities to worship and in this way we were trained
• My father was very lenient. So she used to force me. One man would take me to school
• My first business is to give the devotees the proper knowledge and engage them in devotional service
• My first condition is that if someone wants to become my student he has to follow these four regulative principles
• My institution
• My intention
• My last request to you both is that if you find such difficulty to live with your God-brothers, you can live with me
• My mission is develop the glories of Srila Jiva Goswami all over the world and I think you should cooperate with my honest endeavour
• My name is there as Acarya
• My next program is to reinstate the Vedic divisions in society as recommended in the Bhagavad-gita
• My only business is to serve Krsna. I don't mind what will happen next
• My oral instruction as well as my books are all at your service
• My permission
• My personal life
• My practical experience
• My presence or no presence, we have got now a position. We have to push on this movement very cautiously
• My proposition
• My purports are liked by people because it is presented as practical experience
