Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to simplify, to save the valuable life, to save the time of valuable life. This human form of life is very valuable. Bahūnāṁ janmanām ante (BG 7.19). After many, many births we have got this important life. So we have to save our time to utilize it for Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Lecture on SB 7.9.13-14 -- Montreal, August 22, 1968:

So next verse will be discussed sometime later on, because I am leaving this place tomorrow. So tomorrow, of course, Rādhāṣṭami, we shall have meetings in daytime. And . . . of course, those devotees are present, please come tomorrow, Rādhāṣṭami. Try to understand the Rādhā's position in relation to Kṛṣṇa. This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is very nice. Try to understand it in so many ways.

We have got immense literature. If lifelong we try to understand, there is sufficient stock. It is not hackneyed. You'll get nava-navāyaman. Newer and newer things you'll get, experience. Ānandāmbudhi-vardhanam. And the more and more you get relish in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, your transcendental pleasure becomes more and more appreciated. It is so nice. Ānandāmbudhi-vardhanam.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu has said, ambudhi . . . ambudhi means ocean. In the ordinary course, the ocean does not increase. If ocean would have increased, then there would . . . so many towns would have been washed away. Sometimes it happens, of course, temporarily. But anandāmbudhi. The spiritual ocean is so nice that it increases, and the enjoyer of that ānanda, he also increases.

Bṛhaṇatyāt. Brahman life is that bṛhatya-bṛhaṇatyāt. It is the greatest; still, it has the potency of expanding more and more. It is very inconceivable. If something is the greatest, superlative, then what is beyond superlative? Still, there is beyond superlative. Ānandāmbudhi-vardhanam (CC Antya 20.12). So Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is so nice, transcendental literature that anywhere you sit down, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, as the Gosvāmīs used to do it . . . nāma-gana-naṭibhiḥ kālāvasānī-kṛtau (Ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka 6). They were passing their time chanting, dancing, and reading Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, writing on it. So far the bodily necessities are concerned, they were not very important things for them. They forgot. Spiritual life is so nice.

So fortunately, one of our student, he has taken a very large tract of land in West Virginia to develop a society like that, that simple life, eat simple things—grains, vegetables, fruits, milk—and save your time for advancing in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Don't be implicated in the ugra-karma. Modern civilization is implicated in ugra-karma—vast machinery, everything complicated: the government complicated, the society complicated, economics rule complicated, foreign exchange complicated. Everything has become complicated.

So Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura has sung very nice song, sat-saṅga chāri kainu asate vilās, ei kāraṇe lāgila more karma bandha-phāṅsa. Because we have given up Kṛṣṇa consciousness, therefore we have been entangled in the different varieties of material activities. Now we have to simplify it. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to simplify, to save the valuable life, to save the time of valuable life. This human form of life is very valuable. Bahūnāṁ janmanām ante (BG 7.19). After many, many births we have got this important life. So we have to save our time to utilize it for Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That should . . .

So far we have got this material body, we want to maintain it. The life and . . . the body and souls live together. That is all right. For that, Kṛṣṇa has given every chance. Anywhere you sit down, you have got land and cow. You produce something, and cow's milk, that is sufficient for maintenance.

So let us try to make an attempt to organize a New Vrindaban scheme, and I shall request all my students to develop this idea and show a good example to this Western part of the world where people are always engaged in ugra-karma, asuric-karma. Things are becoming very implicated, complicated.
