- Acaryopasanam: this information (krsnas tu bhagavan svayam) is not concocted, but is accepted by the acaryas in the disciplic succession. Although an impersonalist, Sankaracarya has accepted Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- All the thoughts which I have concocted, based on the principle of "I" and "my," this is all illusion. So one, when one is intelligent to get out of the illusion, he surrenders to a spiritual master

- But for... all that is instructed in the Vedas is superfluous and concocted

- Do not try to concoct your own method for developing Krishna Consciousness, simply do as the disciples are doing in our center

G

- If Visnu is not worshiped, the followers of the varnasrama institution manufacture some concocted God
- If we daily manufacture a kind of dharma according to my concoction or we accept everything as real dharma, that is a mistake. Dharma means the order given by God, and if you follow that, or execute that order as Arjuna did, then you are dharmika
- If we listen to someone who is presenting a broken, concocted version of Bhagavad Gita, that will be useless. So try to understand our philosophy very sincerely and carefully

- It (Krsna is the enchanter of the Cupid, and Radharani is the enchanter of that enchanter) is not fiction or imagination, concoction. They are facts. They are facts. And every devotee can have such privileges if he is actually advanced
- It is this active medicine, this Hare Krsna maha-mantra, that is doing it. It is the perfect yoga system. This process is not manufactured, and we have not concocted anything. Our business is simply to accept the words of Krsna as they are
- It should be noted that a class of so-called devotees (known as prakrta-sahajiya) follow their own concocted ideas and, representing themselves as Krsna and Radha, indulge in debauchery. Such devotional service and attachment are false
K
- King Arhat, being bewildered, gave up the Vedic principles, which are free from risk, and concocted a new system of religion opposed to the Vedas. That was the beginning of the Jain dharma. Many other so-called religions followed this atheistic system

- Krsna consciousness movement is neither a new movement nor it is a concocted philosophy. It is based on authorities like Bhagavad-gita and other Vedic literature. And practically you see how it is effective. Simply by chanting this Hare Krsna mantra
- Krsna is personally advising: sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja: (BG 18.66) "Give up all your concocted religions and surrender to Me alone." take His advice and be happy

- Krsna recommended evam parampara-praptam. We have to receive knowledge through the disciplic succession. Mahajana-gatah. You cannot manufacture. This concoction has killed the spiritual life of India. "You can think any way; I can think in my way"
- Krsna requests, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja: (BG 18.66) "Give up all varieties of concocted religion & simply surrender to Me." This is practical religion. Just surrender to Krsna & think - I am a devotee of Krsna, a servant of Krsna
- Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja. Don't create, manufacture, your principle of religion, concocted. That is the difficulty

- No one can imagine the form of God, for God is so great. One may imagine some form, but that is a concoction; it is not the real form. There are those who imagine the form of God, and there are those who deny the form of God. Neither is a jnani

- Only because of ignorance do people concoct differences and dualities. You are free from material contamination, and since the entire cosmos is caused by You and cannot exist without You, it is an effect of Your transcendental qualities
- Others, they created their own concoction; it was never successful. Before me, so many svamis came to the Western countries. They were not successful. Not a single person was Krsna conscious, in the history

- This should be stopped, immediately. Why they are doing that without..., concocting?... So, immediately stop it
- This so-called perfection of human life is a concoction. It is said that the materialist, how materially qualified he may be, is worthless because he is hovering on the mental plane, which will drag him again to the material existence of temporary life

W
- We are not creating anything. It (BG & CC) is not a manufactured thing, concocted thing. It is standard, followed by great acaryas like Caitanya. So we have to accept. That is the way
- We are presenting Bhagavad-gita as it is. We do not change by our whimsical imagination, concoction. We do not interpret the words of the Bhagavad-gita according to our own desire

- We cannot imagine or concoct forms and attributes of the Lord
- We cannot manufacture our own way of understanding the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for it is not that everything one manufactures or concocts will lead to understanding God
- We have discussed this point. Why the green apple does not fall down? So this is their concoction. And why the other planets do not fall down, with so many rocks

- We have got many programs according to our mental concoction. That will not help us. If we simply act as Krsna desires, then our life is perfect

- Without being guided by the Supreme Lord, human beings sometimes manufacture a process of dharma by concoction. Actually dharma cannot be made by man
Y
- You are making some authorities. You're trying to follow. Even if you follow . . . That, the same example, just like Vivekananda was advocating daridra-narayana. First of all this is a concocted word. How Narayana can be daridra
- You can manufacture so many other dharmas - that is not dharma; that is your concocted dharma. But real dharma this is: sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam, man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji . . . this is most confidential dharma
- You cannot manufacture religion, you cannot concoct religion. You just try to follow the great personalities, and that is religion
