| So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is very scientific, based on Vedic knowledge. And it is so perfect that we are actually seeing that anyone who is taking this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, he is feeling how happy he is. I am getting thousands of letter from Western countries, from my disciples, how much transcendental feeling they are enjoying. So I do not wish to take much of your time. This Kṛṣṇa consciousness should be injected from the very beginning of life, from childhood. So here our Honorable High Commissioner of Canada is present, His Excellency. So I request that you have come to our country, please try to understand this philosophy. And so far I have traveled in your country... I have traveled in Canada also; as you have already mentioned, we have got five branches—in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Hamilton, and Ottawa. So the boys are struggling, they are distributing literature, the books, and I am getting very encouraging report, many young men they are coming. It is a very scientific movement. So I would request you to inform your government to give these boys who are struggling to inject this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement in your country all facility. Thank you very much. Hare Kṛṣṇa.

| | Govinda, the Lord. ''Go'' means the cow, and ''go'' means the senses and ''go'' means the land. So Kṛṣṇa, the reservoir of all pleasure, especially gives pleasure to the senses. ''Govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi.'' So our senses are there. You cannot stop the activities of the senses. ''Yoga indriya saṁyama''. The purpose of ''yoga'' is to control the senses by observing the regulative principle, ''yama-niyama'', then practicing a particular type of sitting posture. It is somehow or other mechanical, because those who are grossly in the concept of body, they are recommended to practice this ''haṭha-yoga'' so that by this process his mind can be concentrated on Kṛṣṇa. ''Yoga indriya saṁyama''. |

| | So actually our ''indriyas'' can be controlled when they are engaged in the service of the Lord. ''Hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ'' ([[vanisource:CC Madhya 19.170|CC Madhya 19.170]]). Otherwise it is not possible to control the senses. You cannot stop the activities of senses. That is not possible. Because we are living entity, we have our senses, and it must act. In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' it is said that you cannot stop the action of the mind even for a moment. And mind is the central point of our sensuous activities. Therefore, if you want to control the senses, then you have to learn this ''bhāgavata-dharma.'' |
