Indian man (5): So we have to leave anything in the feet of Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Indian man (5): We have to leave everything...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Indian man (5): ...at the feet of Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam... ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]). That is the instruction.</p>
<p>Indian man (5): Whatever He does, He does all.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Not does. He wants you also to do. He... He does not anything. Everything is done by His... Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate svābhāvikī jñāna-bala-kriyā ca (Cc. Madhya 13.65, purport). He hasn't got to do anything. Na tasya kāryaṁ karaṇaṁ ca. He has got many names. Still, He acts to teach us. That is explained in the Bhagavad-gītā. He's so kind, but as soon as He comes to teach us, we take Him as ordinary man.</p>
<p>Indian man (5): Is He coming again?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. He has already come.</p>
<p>Indian man (5): Eh?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He has already come—by His name. Kali-kāle kṛṣṇa nāma-rūpe avatāra.</p>
<p>Indian man (5): Oh, that's correct.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This Hare Kṛṣṇa is Kṛṣṇa. He's absolute. His name, His form, His attributes, His paraphernalia—they're all one. So He... This Hare Kṛṣṇa name is not different from Kṛṣṇa. The... Nāma cintāmaṇiḥ kṛṣṇaḥ...</p>

<p>Nāma is Kṛṣṇa. So He has already come. He's... Ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni ([[Vanisource:CC Antya 20.12|CC Antya 20.12]]). If you simply take harer nāma harer nāma... ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 17.21|CC Adi 17.21]]). Kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet ([[Vanisource:SB 12.3.51|SB 12.3.51]]). This is the verdict of Bhāgavata. Kaler doṣa-nidhe rājann asti hy eko mahān guṇaḥ. We have got a special concession in this Kali-yuga. We cannot execute all the instruction in the Vedas. We are fallen down. But if we chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra-kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet—he becomes liberated from all the faults of this Kali-yuga and paraṁ vrajet, goes back home, back to Godhead. So Kṛṣṇa is already there. Harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam, kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 17.21|CC Adi 17.21]]). This is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's... Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Wherever you are staying, it doesn't matter. Sthāne sthitāḥ śruti-gatāṁ tanu-vāṅ-manobhiḥ. There is very simple formula. You can become liberated simply by chanting. And if you think that you are very learned philosopher, read all these books. Two ways there are. Thing is very simple. Even a boy can chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Indian man (5): Rāma and Kṛṣṇa (Hindi).</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. Rāmādi-mūrtiṣu kalā-niyamena tiṣṭhan. (Bs. 5.39) Kṛṣṇa has unlimited number of expansions-Rāma, Nṛsiṁha, Varāha... There are... Rāmādi-mūrtiṣu kalā-niyamena tiṣṭhan nānāvatāram akarod bhuvaneṣu, kṛṣṇaḥ svayaṁ samabhavat (Bs. 5.39). Kṛṣṇa is the original person, and Rāma and Kṛṣṇa the same, expansion.</p>
<p>Indian man (5): That's what I mean, Rāma and Kṛṣṇa are the same.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Same. Kṛṣṇa is Rāma, and Rāma, Kṛṣṇa. So we chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Rāma. There is no difference. So...?</p>
