- Don't approach a cheater, but actually approach a teacher, not a cheater. That teacher is guru, and he is representative of Krsna

I

- If the son of a brahmana does not become like a brahmana, he may be called a ksatriya, vaisya or sudra, according to his qualifications. The basic principle for dividing society is not a person's birth but his qualities and actions
- If you study from material point of view, when Krsna was present, He proved that He's Bhagavan & Bhagavan means not a big beard & meditation. Krsna never became Bhagavan by meditation. He was not a manufactured God. He's God always. He's not manufactured
- If you want to learn about that then you must find out a guru. What kind of guru? Just like Kapiladeva, Krsna, or His representative. Not a bogus guru. Then you will be cheated

- Krsna was not a beggar, nor was He in need of clothing, but by this request He indicated that everyone should be ready to offer Krsna whatever He wants. That is the meaning of Krsna consciousness

R
- Religion is described in the English dictionary as "A kind of faith." Actually, religion does not mean. The Sanskrit word dharma, that dharma means characteristic. It is not a kind of faith. Characteristic, or occupational duty
