Bhagavad-gita Is Not Table Talking - Prabhupada 0128

710728 - Lecture Initiation - New York

"Bhagavad-gītā is well known in your country since a very long time. There are so many editions of Bhagavad-gītā in your country, Indian and foreign editions. Many.

But nobody could become a Kṛṣṇa conscious . . . a Kṛṣṇa's devotee, because they were not discussed amongst the devotees. They took it, Bhagavad-gītā, as table talks or some sort of philosophical . . . they could not seriously understand Kṛṣṇa, because the writing or discussing or discourses took place amongst the non-devotees. Satāṁ prasaṅgāt.

But if you want actually Kṛṣṇa, then you have to talk of Kṛṣṇa amongst devotees."
