This is whole Vedic literature. Punar janma jayayaḥ. How to conquer over next birth, next material birth, they do not know. Foolish persons, they have forgotten Vedic culture, what is the Vedic culture. Vedic culture is to conquer over the next birth, that's all. But they do not believe in the next birth. Ninety-nine point nine percent people, they have gone so down from the Vedic culture. The Bhagavad-gītā also, the same philosophy is there: tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya (BG 4.9). This is Vedic culture. Vedic culture means by the evolutionary process we come to this human form of life. Here is the chance of stopping transmigration of the soul from one body to another. Tathā dehāntara prāptir, and you do not know what kind of body I am going to get next. This body may be prime minister or something, and next body may be dog by the laws of nature.
- prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni
- guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ
- ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā
- kartāham . . .
- (BG 3.27)
They do not know. They have forgotten this culture. Misusing this human form of body like animals - eating, sleeping, mating and defending - this is not civilization. The civilization is punar janma jayayaḥ, how to conquer over next material birth. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Therefore we are presenting so many literatures. It is being accepted all over the world, learned circle. Take advantage of this movement. We have tried to open . . . our humble attempt to open a center here. Do not be envious upon us. Kindly take mercy upon us, we are . . . our humble attempt, and take advantage of it. That is our request.
Thank you very much.
