- Actual fact is there is no love in this material world. That is false propaganda. What they call "love" here is lust only, desire for personal sense-gratification
- Actual philosophy is this: the religion means surrender to Krsna. Anything else which does not surrender to Krsna, that is not religion. That is rejected in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, dharmah projjhita-kaitavo (SB 1.1.2): all cheating religion is rejected
- Actually brahmacari, the guru also, they were living in the forest, and brahmacari used to go that guru-grha. So the deerskin in the forest is very essential
- Actually he's self-realized who is working for the Lord, from satam
- Actually I am not this body. That is a fact. You analyze your body. From every point of view
- Actually it is not your land; it is God's land. The land was there before you came here, and still there. And maybe after some hundred years or so you may vacate, and somebody may come. This is going on
- Actually Krsna has no enemy. Here it is said, na yasya kascid dayitah. Dayitah means favor. Nobody is favored. Na yasya kascid dayito 'sti karhicid dvesyas. And nobody is His enemy
- Actually the food price is increasing daily. Nobody knows where it will end. This is called . . . even people will not get alms. Alms, to beg from door to door and live on alms and begging, this will not be possible. Nobody will give alms
- Actually the human effort cannot trace out the history of Krsna consciousness, but taking consideration of the present history, it is at least as old as five thousand years
- Actually the land is there. It belongs to God, and we are claiming, "This is my land," "This is my land," and therefore there is struggle, there is war, there are animosity and so on
- Actually the sum and substance is those who are impersonalist, they are envious. Impersonalists are on the spiritual platform, but because they are envious of the Person, they fall down to the material world
- Actually there is breadth and length, but we cannot measure it. Similarly, the magnitude of the spirit soul is smaller than the point. We cannot measure it with our material measuring instruments
- Actually there is no goodness, because here people dress like in the platform of goodness, but thinking just like animals. That kind of goodness has no value
- Actually we accept cow dung as pure to purify any place. Out of panca-gavya the cow dung is there, cow urine is there
- Actually we are busy with something which is not permanent - a temporary arrangement by the laws of nature. Therefore those who are too much full of anxiety for all these things, they are called demons
- Actually we are claiming that "This is mine," but you have no right to claim it. You're dependent
- Actually we are engaged in human society for economic development, for advancement of so many things - actually, for eating, sleeping, mating and defending. Whatever we do, these four things are there
- Actually we are understanding about the sun not by our direct eyes but through the authoritative knowledge, through the sastra, through the books. Sruti-pramanam. That is evidence
- Actually we have given up the real problem to understand what is Brahman, what is soul. We are entrapped, involved in so many problems of so-called eating, sleeping, mating and defense. So this kind of civilization is not very correct
- Actually we see that we are conditioned, and there is no possibility to trace out the history. Many, many Brahma's life . . . not only one Brahma's; there are so many Brahmas changed, and we are conditioned. Therefore we are called eternally conditioned
- Actually we should not increase our foolishness. Human life is meant for utilizing our intelligence. That is human life. Instead of utilizing intelligence, if we increase our foolishness, that's the wrong type of civilization
- Actually, at the present age, nobody is interested in spiritual subject matter. Nobody is interested. So nobody is coming to surrender to you. Therefore you have to canvass, "Please surrender. Please surrender." This is our position
- Actually, if one is self-realized, he is no more fearful or concerned with the bodily necessities of life. That is liberation
- Actually, in this material world we are all suffering. Duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15). You cannot make it a happy place. That is not possible. Krsna says, who has created this material world, He says, duhkhalayam asasvatam
- Actually, one should not explain Bhagavad-gita or any Vedic sastra unless one has agreed to become a disciple. But devotees are so kind that they preach even amongst the nondisciples just to take them to Krsna consciousness
- Actually, rice is not producing the scorpion; it is coming out under some chemical fermentation process
- Actually, self is beyond this body, beyond this mind, beyond this intelligence. That is the position. Those who are grossly on the bodily concept of self-realization, they are materialist
- Actually, that is the fact. We are not independent. We are dependent on God in so many things. God has engaged the servant, the sun-god. He's also demigod. He is working under the order of the Supreme Lord
- Actually, the sacrificer, the ingredients, just like grains, and gee is being offered in the fire. So, the fire is also Brahma, the ingredients are also Brahma, the person who is offering ingredients, he is also Brahma. But in different categories
- Actually, they are rascals. They do not know the value of life and the real problem of life. Simply like animals they are eating, sleeping, having sex life and dying. That's all
- Actually, to understand Krsna is not easy job. Krsna says, manusyanam sahasresu kascid yatati siddhaye (BG 7.3): "Out of millions." But Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mercy, we are trying to understand little, little. Otherwise, it is very difficult to understand
- Actually, we are engaged in Krsna's service. We are dressing Krsna directly. We are offering flower, Krsna. Krsna has kindly accepted the arca-murti incarnation to be handled by me
- Acyuta means the Supreme Lord who never falls
- Adahyo 'yam. This is the nature of the soul, adahya. Asosyo 'yam, asosyo 'yam. The. . . that is the distinction between the soul and the matter
- Adanta-gobhir visatam tamisram. If your senses are not controlled, then your senses will drag you to the darkest region of hell. That is another problem
- Adhah means where aksaja, the direct perception of material senses, is cut down. There is no possibility. He is called adhoksaja. Therefore, Krsna's another name is Adhoksaja: beyond the sense perception knowledge
- Adhama means lowest of the mankind; patita means fallen. If one does not understand his real interest, he is called fallen
- Adhoksaja - you cannot perceive God by any other senses. You cannot see God, you cannot smell God, you cannot touch God, you cannot taste God - but you can hear. That is a fact
- Adhoksaja means beyond our sense perception. Therefore we have to know Krsna from Krsna, not by our speculation. Krsna may . . . that is frog philosophy. Frog philosophy. He's simply calculating with reference to his teeny well, three feet
- Adhoksaja, God, cannot be seen by your these blunt senses, but when you develop pure senses, sarvopadhi-vinirmuktam tat-paratvena nirmalam (CC Madhya 19.170). When our senses are nirmalam, without any designation, you can see God
- Advaita Acarya is the typical example how to become acarya. All are our acaryas: sri-krsna-caitanya prabhu-nityananda, sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda. All of them are acaryas because they are following Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- Advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam adyam. He's the original. Purana, the oldest. Then why Krsna does not look like old man? Just like in some other religious sect they present God as very old man. But Krsna is, nava-yauvanam ca, just like a young man
- Advancement in self-realization means purification from material contamination. That is real advancement. This is practical
- Advancement of material education means advancement of the snares of the illusory energy of Krsna. Mayara vaibhava
- Advaya-jnana, no duality. Everything is one, absolute. Krsna is absolute, Krsna's instruction is also absolute, Krsna's pastimes absolute. Everything. That is Absolute Truth. There is no difference
- Advertise cigarettes, just to pull them down again, go to hell. Punar musiko bhava. They do not know what dangerous civilization this is dragging them
- After all, anyone who is coming to Krsna consciousness, man or woman, boys or girls, they are welcome. They are very fortunate
- After anartha-nivrtti, one is firmly fixed up in devotional service. And if the anarthas are disturbing him, then he's not fixed up. He'll fall down
- After being cured of this material disease, when one is healthy . . . that healthy activities are the devotional activities. Therefore Krsna says, mam ca avyabhicarini yogena yah sevate. Sevate means there is activities
- After day, there is night; after night, there is day. As these, these are cycles one after another, similarly, we are changing body one after another. And natural conclusion is that after changing this body I'll get another body
- After death you have to change the body. As you are changing from childhood to boyhood, boyhood to youthhood, similarly this old body, when it is no more usable, that means death
- After death, he sees, "Yes. The body is not my son. The body is not my husband." So that is foolishness. The foolish person understands late, and intelligent person understands very quickly. That is the difference
- After death, my mind and intelligence carry me to another separate body according to my thinking at the time of death. So false ego. This false ego is that "I am something of material product." This is called false ego
- After finishing this body there is nothing. This is ignorance. Actually that is not the fact. The fact is, tatha dehantara-praptir (BG 2.13): after death, after finishing this body, you get another body
- After going to see the doll exhibits people can sit there comfortably, take, you know, rest on the bench. And it can be seen from outside
- After he became devotee, he was expressing his experience, that "Since I have taken to Krsna consciousness and I am enjoying the ecstatic love for Krsna, whenever I think of sex with woman, I spit on it." This is the result
- After instructing Arjuna, Krsna will ask him, "Now what you want to do?" Because Krsna does not force. Krsna says that, "You surrender unto Me." He does not force that, "You must surrender. I am God. You are My part and parcel." No, He'll never say that
- After seeing the visvarupa Arjuna was afraid. He was in friendly relationship with Krsna, and when he saw His visvarupa, he became too much perturbed in his mind
- After sitting in a secluded place, in a sanctified place, and according to the sitting arrangement, with tiger skin or deer skin and straw, as it is recommended, then one should sit down there. He should not change his asana, sitting place
- After taking sannyasa there is no other business than to take shelter of Krsna's lotus feet
- After the last great war the existing body of the present United Nations was formed, but what real benefit there has been to be mentioned of for the worldly people. The ISKCON movement has got together all nations in the world & spreading Krishna's name
- Again "to be." Again, at the end of this month, again "to be." Again "will be." Say "We have no money." That's all. Why do you say indirectly? "It will be." So many managers and so many discrepancies
- Aghavan means sinful. Agha means sin, and van means . . . just like bhagavan. Bhagavan means one who has bhaga, or opulence, or fortune. That is called bhagavat. And just the opposite is called aghavan
- Aham brahmasmi, "I am Brahman. I am not this matter." This is perfection. A man who has made sufficient progress to this realization is more perfect - this is the way of perfection
- Aim is toward Krsna. That is very nice example. It is very ordinary. Everyone will understand it
- Ajamila is described as fool, rascal, and without sufficient knowledge. Why? Because he's attached to the child, and he does not know that death is coming now. Death is there. This is our position
- Ajamila lived for more than eighty-eight years, but what is the use of prolonged life? Aghayuh. Just like trees, they are standing for thousands of years
- Ajamila was attached to his son, so naturally he wanted to call somebody to save him, so he called his affectionate son, whose name was Narayana. This is the opportunity
- Ajamila was engaged in maintaining the family. Everyone is engaged like that. Cats and dogs also do that. It is not very extraordinary thing. Sometimes they say, "It is my duty." Yes, it is duty, but the prime duty is to solve the real problems
- Ajamila was very much attached to the youngest son, whose name was Narayana. So, unconsciously he was chanting the holy name of Narayana, although he never meant that he's calling real Narayana. He's asking his son
- Ajamila's example is given, how he was downtrodden and fallen. Still, by the grace of Narayana, he was elevated, that is history, which is, Suta Gosvami is citing, how Krsna consciousness is powerful. That is the motive of narrating Ajamila udha
- Ajamila, although he's a cheat, he has learned all the bad quality, but still the sneha, the affection, that is not lost. So this is natural. Similarly, we have got a natural feeling for Krsna. If you study thoroughly, that is called meditation
- Ajamila, he practiced this unfair way of livelihood. Bandy-aksaih kaitavais cauryair garhitam vrttim asthitah (SB 6.1.22). So vrtti means livelihood. If one adopts abominable livelihood, there is no, I mean to say, hope of spiritual advancement
- Ajna means one who has no sufficient knowledge. He is called ajna. And mudha means ass, rascal
- Akhilam jagat means the whole cosmic manifestation is a display of the multi-energies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So because He is fully energetic, therefore He is attractive and cause of all causes
- Akledyo 'yam asosya 'yam: by the reaction of the five elements, earth, water, fire, air, that is not applicable in the soul. So if they're not applicable to the soul, which is minute particle of the Supreme Soul, how it is applicable to the Supreme Soul
- Aksa means eyes or senses. So He is not perceived by these blunt material senses. Therefore He is known as Adhoksaja, adhah-krta aksaja-jnanam yatra, where this direct experimental knowledge is defeated
- Akuto-bhayah means "without any fear." You can keep yourself in Krsna consciousness as it is prescribed. Then your life is secure, akuto-bhayah. Therefore no more fear
- All debauch. Because they're getting good fat salary. What they'll do? They do not know how to use it. Wine, woman, restaurant, dance - finish
- All foolish talking or foolish literature, it has no value. So it has to be controlled. That is called controlling the vaco vegam
- All four hundred pages, like this. We don't publish a book less than this volume. So just imagine how much we have to learn about our spiritual life. In no other religious system you may call, or cultural system - can give you so many books to read
- All living entity, anyone who has come into this material world, under different body or different dress they are suffering in this material world. Therefore the sastra is meant for the human being so that he can understand his awkward position
- All of the devotees all over the world are simply praying now. They have been placed into great transcendental anxiety, Srila Prabhupada. They are simply praying for your recovery. Do you think that this powder has been successful
- All of you who have come to Krsna consciousness movement, that is our request, that you, all of you, become guru but don't speak nonsense. That is request. Simply speak what Krsna has said. Then you become brahmana, you'll be guru, and everything
- All our disciples in Europe, America, they were habituated to so many bad habits, and because they are chanting, they are now cleansed. So it is small-scale. If you propagate it large-scale, everyone will be cleansed
- All our members, the members of the Krsna consciousness Society, should be ideal. At least people may see that "Here is a class of men - ideal character, ideal behavior, spiritual advanced, and very frugal and very nice." That is
- All over the world people are chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra. And practically we see, those who are chanting, they're becoming free from the contamination
- All rascals should be challenged vigorously. They are misleading the whole population, and blaspheming the Indian spiritual culture. People are depending so much on this culture for their upliftment, and they are blackmailing for money’s sake
- All rascals. They do not understand even one line. If they study only one line, they'll be able to bring a great transforming
- All raw materials was being taken away, and this necessities of India, especially cloth, was being supplied. And the local weavers, their hands cut off. So many thing
- All serious, thoughtful men should take it that Krsna consciousness movement is very, very essential in this world
- All the bhaktas who have basically accepted that "God is great; I am small, very small particle. Therefore, as the small serves the great, my real duty is to serve God," this is liberation
- All the big Vaisnavas, those who are representatives of Krsna, they are called thakura
- All the big, big devotees we see. Narada Muni, before becoming Narada Muni, he had to pass through severe examination, test. So that chance is there in the human form of life, to pass the examination, test
- All the commanders there in the battlefield of Kuruksetra were maha-ratha. They are described in the Bhagavad-gita. Especially Bhisma and Karna, Dronacarya, they were very, very great commanders. Still, Arjuna could kill them by the grace of Krsna
- All the inhabitants of Vrndavana, they love Krsna, and they do not know anything except Krsna. This is Vrndavana life
- All the living entities who are in this material world, they have rebelled. They have refused to give service. And they are all put into this material world. And in this material world there are different varieties of living entities
- All the planets, they are of different atmosphere, and each and every planet there are varieties of living entities. So even if you divide so many thousands and hundreds, still, 8,000,000. This is God's creation
- All the professors from foreign countries, they were instructed to learn Bengali language, local language. That was the system
- All the rasas in relationship with Krsna is perfect. But according to different devotees' taste. Everyone says: My relationship with Krsna is the best
- All the rules & regulation that are there, it may be painful, but we cannot give it up. We have to learn how to tolerate. Therefore Krsna advises, tams titiksasva bharata: My dear Arjuna, the good descendant of Bharata Maharaja, you try to tolerate this
- All the scriptures they are advising you to search out your real father. To search out your real father then you will be happy. Don't try to be happy by this false dress and false father, false platform. No
- All the state laws are applicable to the human being, not to the animals. Because if an animal goes to the wrong path or if an animal takes away something from your possession, he is not punished, neither anybody goes to complain in the police court
- All the Vaisnavas, they are expert. Just like Rupa, Sanatana, expert managment, even in worldly affairs. Not that "I am so much big devotee that I cannot manage worldly affairs." Expert. Must be expert
- All the varieties of life, they are under the control of the material nature, and therefore you see varieties of life
- All the verdict of the sastra is the same. It is simply our misfortune that we do not understand the verdict of the sastra
- All these Darwin's theory, chemical evolution, simply they are basing that from matter life has come
- All these GBC members, they must be well expert in explaining; otherwise what is the use of this writing, taking so much labor, books? They should go, preach, understand. And when there is difficulty, I am present
- All these living entities born in this material world in different forms of life, abodha jata, all rascals. All rascals. We can prove they're all rascal. Nobody is intelligent. As soon as he'll become intelligent, krsna ye bhaje seva-ucate se bada catura
- All these living entity, they are never created; neither they ever die. Nityah sasvatam na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). They are eternal, ever existing
- All these queens are spiritual. All the gopis, they are spiritual. Ananda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibhavitabhis (Bs 5.37): and they are all made of ananda-cinmaya-rasa
- All these so-called nationality, big, big nations, big, big races, caste and so on, so on, what is their position? The position is that all of them are animals. That's all. This is the verdict of the sastra
- All these young boys, they were Christians and they are attracted, attached to Swami, and they are so nice. They can appreciate that their character and their behavior, everything is so godly. They are astonished
- Alone in this world I am struggling, and the so-called intelligent persons, they will not come. They have business. Why? If it is actually beneficial to the human society, why I should alone try
- Alpa-buddhayah: less intelligent. They are simply busy with these bodily necessities of life. There is no education of the real living force
- Alpa-medhasam & su-medhasam, they are two words in the Vedic language. Medha means brain substance. One who has got su-medhasa, nice brain substance, they will understand something & one who has got no brain substance, they will understand something else
- Although Ajamila fell down from his standard of devotional service, but he got the opportunity of chanting Narayana. Ante narayana smrtih (SB 2.1.6). When we are afraid of something, we chant, we call somebody who is very dear. This is very psychological
- Although by law you are condemned to death, but if you appeal to the supreme executive, the king or the president, if he likes, he can excuse you
- Although He's cause of everything, but He hasn't got to work. Na tasya karyam karanam ca vidyate. That is Vedic information; in the Upanisad you'll find. He has nothing to do
- Although Krsna is the maintainer of everyone, sometimes He takes the part of a beggar. He begs to benefit the charitable. Who is giving in charity, he is benefited. Just like Bali Maharaja, he gave everything to Vamanadeva. There are different devotees
- Although people are forced to act by the influence of the three modes, they make an artificial show of humility, pretending to be weak, lowly, and penniless beggars. This sort of cheating mood is most undesirable
- Although she is mother, she has given birth to the child, but she has become now dependent on this child for good instruction. This is ideal society
- Although sunshine is not different from the sun, still, if you simply study scientifically, scientifically, what is the molecules, what are these rays, where this brilliant illuminative thing . . . so many things you can go on studying
- Although they are medicine, but they are bitter medicine. Not very palatable. Neither everyone can take it
- Although this body is temporary, we can utilize it for the best purpose. What is that best purpose? Realization of Krsna
- Although this world is dead body, when there is Krsna consciousness, it becomes enlivened. That is our movement. We are trying to inject Krsna consciousness in everything dead within this world
- Although we are minute particle of God, if we dovetail ourselves with the consciousness of God, or Krsna consciousness, then we become equally spirit. This is the technique
- Although we are running after false water, it does not mean there is no water. Water is there, but not in the desert. That is intelligence. So happiness is there, but not in this material world. It is in the spiritual world
- Although we find in the neophyte devotee some bad behavior, so we should not take him as nondevotee. Sadhur eva sa mantavyah (BG 9.30). He is sadhu - if he sticks to Krsna consciousness. And the bad habits which are visible now, it will disappear
- Although you are young men - there are many difficulties to keep sannyasa - but if you keep faith, full faith in Krsna, the maya will not be able to touch you
- Always chant Hare Krsna mantra, be in touch with Krsna in so many ways, then you are secure. Maya will not be able to touch you
- Always keep company with devotees. Don't keep company with nondevotee. Then it . . . everything will be spoiled
- Always reading should be continually going on in our centers. These books, regularly should be discussed and preached: the ideal life of Krsna, ideal grhastha, householder, what He is doing
- Always remember Krsna. Then maya will not be able to touch you. Mam eva ye prapadyante mayam etan taranti (BG 7.14). Maya cannot touch
- Always think of Krsna, then there is no question of falling down. Man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru (BG 18.65). These four things, if strictly done, he is safe. Always think of Krsna, become His devotee, offer Him obeisances & worship Him
- Amayo yas ca bhutanam (SB 1.5.33). Is very important verse. Actually, this is the essence of Krsna consciousness movement. What is that? People become diseased by sense gratification. Everyone knows. Too much sense gratification means creating disease
- Ambarisa Maharaja was a devotee. Unnecessarily he was harassed by Durvasa Muni. But because Ambarisa Maharaja was a pure devotee, advanced, he was not afraid of being killed
- Ambarisa Maharaja, he was the emperor of the world. He had to manage many political affairs. But he was one of the topmost devotees at the same time
- America will be the best person to be educated in this line and to lead, to become the leader. They're already leader, but they must be real leader
- American people are materially comfortable. But why they are producing hippies now
- Americans happy by having big, big cities? No. That is not possible. Now they are trying to imitate, but that is a false attempt. That is not the life
- Amongst the various paraphernalia of worshiping the Lord, the srngara is very essential, srngara and tan-mandira-marjanadi, and cleansing the temple. The more you cleanse the temple, the more you decorate the Deity, more your heart becomes cleansed
- Ananda. Here is no ananda. In this material world . . . ananda means pleasure, bliss. But here it is not possible. First of all, you have to die. You may manufacture some so-called ananda, but you'll die
- Anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12), because my nature is to enjoy. That enjoyment cannot be done in the impersonal or void philosophy. That is not possible
- Ananta means you cannot get the limit that, "So many millions or so many thousands." No. You cannot count. So all these jivas, we, living entities, we are being maintained by that one. This is the Vedic information. Eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman
- Ananta-rupam means millions and millions. The Manu is also incarnation of Krsna. So in one day of Brahma there are fourteen Manus. So Brahma lives for one hundred years. Just see how many incarnation of Manus are there even for one Brahma
- Ananya-bhavena, without any deviation, unflinching, staunch devotee, they are called sadhu. So we have to associate with sadhu. Satam prasangat. When you discuss about Krsna with sadhu or devotees, it becomes very pleasing
- Anartha-nivrttih syat tato nistha. If his anartha is decreased, then he becomes firmly fixed up. There is no question of decreasing
- Anasinah: it cannot be destroyed. Although it is very minute, aprameyasya . . . you cannot measure. You have no such measuring method, that you can measure the soul's breadth and . . . length and breadth
- And as soon as there is varna-sankara, full of unwanted children, this world will be hell
- And Krsna, one, He married, and He was expanded in sixteen thousand forms and features. Now, the feature, the body, is the same, but in different house with different devotees, the exchange of feelings is different. That is called vaibhava-prakasa
- And so far economic question is concerned, the bird, beast, animals, they have no economic concern. Why you have got? You are less than bird and beast, you have created this economic problem
- And so long we are attached to this nonpermanent body, there should be anxiety. Prahlada Maharaja says, asad-grahat, sada samudvigna-dhiyam asad-grahat (SB 7.5.5). Because we have accepted this temporary body, therefore we are full of anxiety
- And somebody, they are coming, going. So you cannot check them, because they are not our paid servants. If they are very kind that they have come here, cooperating with us
- Anger has got some utilization; not that I should not be angry. I should use my anger on some particular occasion
- Animal education means when at the present moment the education system is so bad that it is practically animal education
- Animal education means when we are too much interested with eating, sleeping, mating and defending, that is animal education
- Animal has no capacity to understand Vedic knowledge or the BG. Even though we have got the intelligence, if you do not utilize it to understand the instruction in the BG & Vedic knowledge, then purposefully we keep ourself within the category of animals
- Animal is killed or sacrificed under certain religious rituals, in the lower stage. In the higher stage there is no such animal sacrifice. Just like this Krsna consciousness movement, there is no ritualistic process as animal sacrifice
- Animal life means there is no sin. It is promotion. Because they are animal, their consciousness is not developed. Just like a child - a child, if he steals, that is not sin. He will not be criminally charged
- Animal society, they do not know what is freedom. Ours also, the so-called freedom. But still, we have got some consciousness that we fight for freedom. And they fight for eating. That's all
- Animals are simply interested in eating, sleeping, mating and fearing. So we have got better intelligence, so we must utilize it
- Anitya means they are not permanent. Agamapayino 'nityah. They are seasonal changes. They will come and they will go. Simply ethereal arrangement only, we must know, external arrangement. It is, rather, illusion
- Anna means food grains. So annad bhavanti bhutani (BG 3.14). Every living entity lives. Nowadays there are scarcity of food grains. Even the human being cannot eat sufficiently. But formerly the kings, they used to maintain elephants
- Annad bhavanti bhutani (BG 3.14). Simply by dry lecture, how they will feel happy? There must be sufficient food grains so that people may live happily, the animal may live happily
- Another important thing is acaryopasanam. If you want to make progress, then you have to approach acarya. Just like if you want to be educated, you go to school, you go to college, you go to university
- Another meaning may be krsna-varnam ete. One way you can take, krsna-varnam means caste, or category. So if He comes to the category of visnu-tattva, or Krsna, but His color, complexion, is not Krsna, not black
- Antakam means death. So death is called maya. You are thinking, "Now I have arranged everything. Things are going very nicely. Now I'm very happy." But, all of a sudden, the death comes. That you cannot avoid
- Antara means "another." Now, there are varieties of bodies; that you can see. There are fish body, there are tree body, plant body, beast body, bird's body, insect body, reptile body - in this way gradual process of evolution, you come to this human body
- Ante narayana-smrtih (SB 2.1.6). That is the perfection of life. Ante, at the time of death, if you remember Krsna, then your life is successful. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti kaunteya
- Anukulyena. Whatever Krsna orders, if you discharge that, that is bhakti, simply favorable to Krsna. Whatever Krsna says
- Anxiety is spiritual anxiety and material anxiety. Spiritual anxiety means you are advancing in spiritual life, and material anxiety means you are going downhill
- Any asura, mayayapahrta-jnanah . . . he may be M.A., Ph.D., from academic career, but his real knowledge is taken away. Therefore he is atheist. Actual knowledge is to know God
- Any civilized form of society has got this system of marriage, because without marriage sex life is irreligious
- Any civilized human society, there is the system of marriage. And beyond marriage, if there is sex life, that is called illicit sex life. That is never indulged in any society. So what to speak of transcendental life

- Because asuri bhavam, because he has accepted the atheistic principle, "There is no Krsna. There is no God." Only for this reason, in spite of educational qualification, he cannot understand Krsna
- Because Bhagavad-gita is such nice book, if you can understand one line, you advance hundred years
- Because educated class means wine, women, meat, and Vivekananda allows this. That is the point
- Because everyone has got that tendency, the sastra gives them chance to act, fruitive activities. Because by working, working, one day it will come when he will be not interested working any more. Then athato brahma jijnasa
- Because everyone is imperfect. How they can give you perfect happiness? It is not possible
- Because He (Krsna) has expanded Himself in so many hearts of the living entities, that does not mean that He is finished in His own abode. No. Still He's there. That is Krsna. Purnasya purnam adaya purnam evavasisyate. This is the Vedic information

- Because in the mundane philosophers, mundane scholars, they want to give his own interpretation of everything. That is their habit. They don't accept the interpretation of the higher authorities
- Because in the sastras everything is there about Krsna. Simply we have to take it, accept it. And if we do not believe sastra, then there is no, I mean, use of understanding Krsna. Sastra-caksusa. You have to see
- Because it is Krsna's book, if somebody purchases, if he pays something, he'll look at it, that "What this nonsense has written? Let me see." Then he will get some idea. And if he reads one line, he comes hundred times forward to Krsna consciousness

- Because Krsna is everything, that does not mean I have to worship the dog
- Because Krsna is giving the brahminical culture. Without brahminical culture, useless. That is not civilization. Therefore Krsna is offered obeisance, namo brahmanya-devaya go-brahmana-hitaya ca
- Because Krsna is in everybody's heart, how can everyone be Krsna? Then dog is also Krsna. So why one should go to the temple? He can worship his dog at home
- Because Krsna is infallible. Whatever knowledge we get from the infallible, that is perfect knowledge
- Because Krsna is missing, with uncontrolled mind, senses, you cannot capture Krsna. That is not possible
- Because Krsna, the Supreme Lord, is described here, satvatam patim. Satvata, a devotee. Then you get everything. If you know Krsna, then you know everything
- Because life is divided into four parts: brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa. So woman has got three positions. They require protection. Women is never allowed to become in renounced order of life
- Because man is rational animal. Man is rational. Man is animal, but rational animal. The special gift to man is that he can decide what is good, what is bad. He has got an extra knowledge than the animals
- Because maya is very strong, so we should be always fearful that "Maya may not catch me." Always stick to Krsna's lotus feet so maya will not be able to touch you
- Because my mind, my senses, everything imperfect, so how can I have perfect knowledge? So this is not the process of acquiring right knowledge. Our process of acquiring knowledge: to hear from the right
- Because nowadays it is democratic government, teach people how to select the real leader
- Because of all their false propaganda, everyone is asking, What is Hare Krsna? What is Hare Krsna? And that is our triumph. They're chanting Hare Krsna
- Because our senses are limited. How you can have the Supreme Truth known by these imperfect blunt senses
- Because people are becoming more and more in the modes of darkness, they are eating so many abominable things. And prakrti also, I mean to say, minimizing the supply of sattvika food. Just like nowadays it has become scarcity of grains, of milk, of sugar
- Because people are in darkness, we require many millions of gurus to enlighten them. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission is, He said, that "Every one of you become guru." Amara ajnaya guru haya tara ei desa
- Because people are misled. So they should be given opportunity to study, to understand what is God consciousness, what is Krsna consciousness. So through the sastras. That is also required. The Gosvamis practically demonstrated in their life everything

- Because the human society is producing children like cats and dogs, the whole human society is in trouble. How you can expect peace and prosperity in the society of cats and dogs
- Because the husband mixes with so many other women, he cannot satisfy his wife. This is the psychology
- Because the living being takes the superior position for explosion of matter or reaction of matter, therefore in the Bhagavad-gita it is admitted that the matter is handled by the living being; it is inferior energy
- Because the living entities, they are trying to exploit the resources of this material nature. That is going on all over the world. A country is supposed to be very rich which has become able to exploit the material resources
- Because the living entity is the minute particle of God, mamaivamso jiva-bhutah (BG 15.7), therefore his intelligence, his power, is also very minute. But God's power is unlimited. By unlimited power Krsna knows the past, future and present, everything
- Because the people of this age are not very strong, spiritually inclined, therefore for this particular age of Kali the tapasya has been, I mean to say, decreased
- Because the soul is immortal, eternal, so if somebody kills somebody, the body is destroyed, but the soul is not destroyed
- Because the spirit soul is within the heart, I can pinch any part of my body, I feel that this is consciousness
- Because the spiritual master enlightens the divya-jnana, one feels obliged to him. So this guru-puja essential. As the Deity worship essential . . . It is not cheap adoration. It is the process of enlightening the divya-jnana
- Because the system of religion has become polluted, we should not give up religion. That is our prime duty. Dharma hi tasya eka visesa. What is the difference between animal and man? The animal has no religion
- Because the teachers were very much cautious that, "This Prahlada has got tendency to become a devotee," so they were very careful
- Because there are different varieties of living entities, beginning from Brahma down to the insect, insignificant. In the middle, there are so many varieties - aquatics, trees, plants, demigods, and men, human being

- Because there is a minute particle of God's part and parcel, the soul, this body is so valuable
- Because there is no training of brahminical culture how to become truthful. People think that "What is wrong, I shall speak untruth?" So the value of truthfulness will decrease & the importance of religion will decrease. This is the symptoms of Kali-yuga
- Because these Mayavadis, they are after mumuksa, so mumuksubhih parityagah, if they are giving up, then phalgu-vairagya. It is called phalgu-vairagya, false renunciation. The world is not false, but the so-called renunciation is false
- Because they are so poor that they cannot purchase diamond. But diamond must be there. They are so poor-hearted, their education has been so poorly given that they cannot understand
- Because they had very good tendency for learning Sanskrit to know so many things. That was their research. They knew it that in Sanskrit language there are so many wonderful things
- Because they have no information of the Vaikuntha planets, they again come to these material planet. That is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Because they have no rest, they become perturbed
- Because they make research in their teeny brain, they come to the conclusion voidism and impersonalism that, "Make it zero, this botheration." That is also imperfect. So when they come to Bhagavan and engage himself in the service, then it is perfect
- Because they say, "Man is rational animal." So if you are devoid of rationality, then again you are animal
- Because they wanted to become like that, and God has given him the chance, "All right. You want to become like this and enjoy life? All right, you become like this." So this is arrangement
- Because they were sannyasis, renounced order of life, Caitanya Mahaprabhu offered His respect by bowing down before them. It is the duty of everyone, not only between the sannyasi and sannyasi. It is the custom of Vedic system
- Because this world is dark, therefore you can conclude by logical argument there must be another world which is full of light. That is not very difficult to understand
- Because we are all minute part and parcel of Krsna, therefore if Krsna is Brahman, Para-brahman, we are also minute particle of Brahman. There is no doubt about it
- Because we are bewildered, we are misdirected, so . . . so guru's word, that should be taken seriously. Ara na koriya . . . "No more, anything." That is . . . Therefore how much difficult it is to find out such guru
- Because we are eternal - nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam (Katha Upanisad 2.2.13) - we should be after eternal happiness, eternal benefit. That should be our business
- Because we are in this material world, we shall act in such a way that nobody can accuse us. Therefore Rupa Gosvami has said: The dealings should be very honest
- Because we are Krsna's sons or we have got very intimate relationship with Krsna and we have given Him up and we have forgotten Him, therefore we are suffering
- Because we are materially diseased, we are in the difficult position of birth, death, old age and disease. Krsna says. This is real problem. Janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi-duhkha-dosanudarsanam
- Because we are minute particle of God, we have also minute inconceivable power. We do not know how the hairs are growing, but the energy is there within me. Similarly, so many things come out from the inconceivable power of Krsna
- Because we are minute particle of Krsna . . . we have got qualities of Krsna not cent percent; seventy-eight percent. When they are perfect, so minute quantity, then we can also become a little more advanced than at the present moment
- Because we are not meant for this service. We are, as Caitanya Mahaprabhu teaches, jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa (CC Madhya 20.108-109). Our main business is to serve Krsna
- Because we are now in the material world, we have got the propensity to enjoy, to exploit the resources of material nature. Krsna has given us the opportunity
- Because we are part and parcel of God, so we have got good qualities. It is covered by material contamination. Gold is gold - but it is covered by mud, dirty things, one cannot understand whether is it gold or something else. So our position is like that
- Because we are part and parcel of God, therefore we are also have got the same chemicals, but not proportionally the same quantity. That is the difference
- Because we are part and parcel of God, we have got all the qualities of God. But because we are minute part and particle of God, therefore all the qualities of God are there in minute particle
- Because we are part and parcel of Krsna we have got the same quality. So you see Krsna, He is enjoying with the gopis, with the cowherd boys, friends, in Vrndavana, in the forest, with cows, with calves. This is enjoyment - variety
- Because we are part and parcel of Krsna, our original consciousness is that, "I have got intimate relationship with Krsna as His part and parcel." That is Krsna consciousness
- Because we are part and parcel of the Supreme, sac-cid-ananda-vigraha - eternity, blissful and knowledge - therefore, although we are minute particles, minute particle . . . but the minute particle has got so much energy
- Because we are so advanced, there are so many hundreds and thousands of men, there is no fixed purpose of life. Even in your rich country we see such men without any purpose, without any aim of life. So they are called manda-bhagyah, most unfortunate
- Because we are so weak in this age and there are so many problems, it is very, very difficult to make a solution. Therefore sastra says that, You simply take to the chanting of the holy name of God
- Because we cannot control our senses, we are driving, we are being pushed towards the darkest region of material existence, very hard to leave
- Because we cannot see the Supreme Personality of Godhead with these blunt eyes, He has assumed the form of a stone. This is called arca-murti. It is His mercy
- Because we do not know what is spirit, and we think spirit is something just opposite to this matter, and matter we find manifestation, form, therefore spirit should be formless. That is their conclusion
- Because we have been put into some awkward position of this material existence, therefore we are . . . although constitutionally we are joyful, we do not find anything joyful
- Because we have fallen down, therefore we have got this material body. But Krsna, or God, never falls down
- Because we have forgotten our intimate relationship with Krsna, and trying to become happy in this material world, therefore we have to undergo so much tribulations. This is the position
- Because we have got blunt material senses, we cannot understand what is Krsna, what is Krsna's service; atah sri-krsna-namadi . . . what is Krsna's chanting of name. We are thinking that this is chanting, just like we chant so many vibrations
- Because we have got the circumstances, because we have got unclean body, therefore there is birth and death. Just like as soon as you are infected, there is fever, similarly, the birth and death is a kind of disease. It is also listed with disease
- Because we have got this body, we suffer the pains of cold and heat. This is only one example. It is given in the Bhagavad-gita, matra-sparsas tu kaunteya sitosna-sukha-duhkha-dah. Sita means cold. Just like in winter we suffer. In summer also, we suffer
- Because we have got varieties of desires, we dress ourselves in different fashionable clothes. So this varieties of life mean they have different desires, and Krsna is fulfilling their desires. Ye yatha mam prapadyante
- Because we have got very limited knowledge. Atmavat manyate jagat. The same Dr. Frog. Dr. Frog is calculating in his own way, and he is puzzled how there can be an Atlantic Ocean or Pacific Ocean. Because he has never experienced, he has no idea
- Because we have to say we are servant of Krsna; therefore we have to teach everyone to surrender to Krsna. Not that, I am God, you surrender to me
- Because we have to take prasadam, remnants of foodstuff, Krsna, therefore He says, "Give Me this: food grains, milk, or fruits and flowers." Prepared or unprepared, it doesn't matter. Krsna wants that
- Because we know rightly, and as we are part and parcel of God, minute particles, therefore our duty is to serve God
- Because you are a rascal, you do not know what is your future. You do not harm others, but you are harming yourself
- Because you are attached to the skin and bone, therefore you feel sometimes pains and pleasure. But that will not endure. Better tolerate it. Tolerate. That is spiritual, tapasya. That is called tapasya. When one can learn how to tolerate

- Because you are habituated to commit sinful life only, so if you want to be saved, then you take to Krsna consciousness. Otherwise, you have to be punished, in this life or next life
- Because you are imperfect; your senses are imperfect. Although you have got your eyes, you cannot see which is situated a very long distance away. Just like you see the sun like the disc. Huh? So the sun is not like a disc if you get closer. It is big
- Because you are impersonalist, you worship dog
- Because you are soul, therefore you are inquiring. As soon as the soul is out of your body, you cannot inquire anymore. Inquiry finished
- Because you have got leg and hand, therefore the coat has got leg and hand. You can . . . everyone can understand. It is very easy. So the original, the spirit soul, has got form. Therefore the cloth has been cut into form. It is very easy to understand
- Because you have no information of serving Krsna, then come down again to this material world and serve maya - so-called hospitals and other things, philanthropic work

- Before ending this life, if one fortunately becomes Krsna conscious, certainly he at once attains the stage of brahma-nirvana
- Before my birth, the land was there. And after my death, the land will be there. If you trace out history, go on tracing, when the land was not there, you'll never find. Therefore the land is God's. The earth belongs to God. Everything belongs to God
- Before reaching to that point of frustration, if you take to Krsna consciousness, then you reach the real standard of happiness, because everything belongs to Krsna
- Before these motorcars, the people were living very happily. They were transporting. But there was no such civilization that for your earning livelihood you have to go hundred miles away from your home to work there. Therefore you require vehicle
- Before this universal creation, Krsna took the form of Mahavisnu, and Mahavisnu's breathing period is the creation and annihilation. So long the breathing goes on, exhaling, that is the creation period; inhaling, the destruction, annihilation
- Behind the material nature is Krsna. Therefore our business is to surrender to Krsna and take knowledge from Him, and then you become perfect
- Better die young, in good health, chanting Hare Krsna. What is the use of prolonged life? The prolonged life . . . the trees are also prolonged life. Does it mean it is happy
- Better to leave this place as soon as possible. Not to come again. That should be our serious attention
- Between Brahma and ant, there are millions of other living entities, 8,000,000. They're all imperfect because they have accepted this material body, either Brahma or ant. But your perfection will come when you do not accept this material body

- Caitanya Mahaprabhu recommends by simply chanting Hare Krsna mantra, your heart will be cleansed. The mirror of your heart will be cleansed. Ceto-darpana-marjanam. And immediately you will be able to extinguish the blazing fire of this material existence
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu said that "As you (Sanatana Gosvami) have decided to relinquish, to resign, your so exalted post, and you have come to Me for spiritual enlightenment, that means you are already liberated from the three material conditions of life
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu said that - Make your life perfect by understanding the Vedic knowledge, and distribute it
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu said that: I am crying for Krsna just to advertise Myself that I have become a big . . . but actually I have not a pinch of devotion to Krsna
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu says that: amara ajnaya, "Just carry out My order." Then you are in disciplic succession. If you do not keep yourself in the order of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, then simply by becoming disciple you are not in the disciplic succession
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, guru-krsna-krpaya paya bhakti-lata-bija (CC Madhya 19.151). You can enter into the devotional service by double mercy. One mercy is Krsna; another mercy is the spiritual master
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa. Because I am part and parcel of Krsna, then what is my duty? To serve Krsna. There is no other duty
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu says: "I am not a brahmin." Then the next question is, "What You are?" He says, gopi-bhartuh pada-kamalayor dasa-dasanudasah: I am the servant of the servant of the servant of Krsna
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu taught that way. That is that if you want to cry for Krsna, then no more crying for this material world. Finished. If you can once learn how to cry for Krsna, then you will no more cry for this material world. That is Vedanta
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu was a high-class brahmana. Not only brahmana, He was a sannyasi, the most exalted post. First of all He's brahmana. Of course, unless one is brahmana, he cannot take sannyasa. That's a fact
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu's, this Krsna consciousness movement propaganda, what is this propaganda? He says that "Every one of you become guru." He wants not rascal, imitation guru, but real guru. That He wants
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He recommends, There is no better type of worshiping Krsna than it was planned by the gopis
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He said that, "My spiritual master found Me a great fool." Caitanya Mahaprabhu is not a fool, but it is the good qualification of a disciple to remain a fool before the spiritual master
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He was ideal sannyasi, and He was living apart from any material attachment. But we have to do preaching work. We have to construct temple
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu, instead of waiting for the last stage of His life, He took sannyasa at an early age, only twenty-four years old, when He should have begun the householder life; but He did not do so
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the inaugurator of this movement five hundred years ago, although He is accepted as Krsna Himself, still, He says that, "Alone, I have no power or strength." Ekaki amara nahi paya (Ohe Vaisnava Thakura). This is the humble submission
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu, when He was chanting and dancing, He sometimes fainted. So in the course of His chanting and dancing, when He fainted, then His personal assistants, they were treating Him
- Caitanya met Ramananda Raya, and He was talking about spiritual subject matter, very highly elevated, simply. Bcause he was born in a sudra family and a grhastha and a politician, so he was hesitating that, Caitanya Mahaprabhu is a brahmana and sannyasi
- Caitanya predicted that this missionary activities will be spread in future in as many towns & cities are there on the surface of the globe & He entrusted Indians, or those who are born in India, that Please convey this message throughout the whole world
- Caitanya said, jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa. He's eternally servant. Either he understands or not understands, he is servant. But when he's serving consciousness, conscientiously, then he's deriving the real profit. That is Krsna consciousness
- Caitanya says, param vijayate sri-krsna-sankirtanam: "All glories to the chanting of this Hare Krsna mantra." Why? Because ceto-darpana-marjanam. If you chant Hare Krsna mantra, there is no loss for it, but there is great gain. This is the significance
- Caitanya-caritamrta is the higher studies. Still, we have got all these books, very exalted, authorized books, Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, Caitanya-caritamrta, Nectar of Devotion
- Can you float a cup of water in the sky? Is it possible? Let any scientist come and make any arrangement. They have discovered all this . . . what is called? Gravitation. So many things they have discovered. But let them fly a cup of water in the sky
- Canakya Pandita says that, "If you want to make spiritual advancement, then you should always think that, "Death is next moment. Death is next moment." Because there is no guarantee when death is coming
- Candalas means the dog-eaters. In the human society, the division of higher class and lower class is determined by the standard of eating. So first-class men, just like brahmin, Vaisnava, they eat very purified prasadam
- Candi-patha means you . . . if you properly read, you get some material profit. That's all. No spiritual profit
- Capitalists, they have drawn all the innocent people from the village, and they, they think that, "We are getting fat salary." But what is the use of fat salary
- Central point is God, but we are making central point - somebody is making his own self, his body; somebody is making his family; somebody is making his society, community or nation - or somebody is making the whole human race. But they are all imperfect
- Ceto-darpana-marjanam means to solve all the problems. That is Krsna consciousness movement. If you take to this Krsna consciousness movement, then all the problems of the society, human society, of the world, will be solved
- Ceto-darpana-marjanam. Darpana means mirror; marjanam means cleansing. So our heart is just like mirror. It requires to be cleansed, that's all. It is contaminated by the material dust
- Chand Kazi said: "Well, this cow-killing is also recommended in Your Vedas, because there is cow sacrifice." So Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied . . . now, we should know it that the animal sacrifice, according to the Vedic scripture, that is not killing
- Chant this mantra: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. There is no charges. There is no loss on your part. But if you kindly chant, you'll understand everything, because your heart will be cleansed
- Chanting and hearing, this was inaugurated by Lord Caitanya and followed by the six Gosvamins, and we are also following in the footprints of the six Gosvamins. Therefore we should offer our respectful obeisances
- Chanting is so nice that as soon as you take to chanting, or hear about Krsna, immediately the cleansing process begins. And as soon as our heart is cleansed, bhava-maha-davagni-nirvapanam, we become freed from the blazing fire of this material existence
- Chanting of the holy name is so powerful that it can immediately liberate the vibrator. But because he is prone to fall down again, therefore there are regulative principles
- Cheater, how he can become guru? The first qualification is cheating. If cheater can become teacher - no. Cheater is cheater. So don’t be misled by cheaters. Go to the real teacher. Tad-vijnanartham sa gurum evabhigacchet
- Cheerful attitude. If . . . cows know. They have got intelligence that "We will be killed." Therefore they are not supplying sufficient milk. They cannot
- Chemical evolution is part of life demonstration. That I have already explained. Just like the chemical, citric acid, coming from lemon tree, a life. It is coming. So all chemicals are being produced
- Chemical evolution, you get the chemicals and make a experiment and produce life. Then your proposal is all right that by chemical evolution there is life
- Chemical Evolution. "From chemical life has come." Just see. And he has got Nobel Prize
- Chiefly the impersonalist and the void philosophers, they are called Mayavadi, because they have no other information. They want to simply negate, nullify, but they have no positive information
- Child is nonsense, so you can trick him to obey you by making some little story and the child will become cheated in the proper behavior. But never apply force
- Cinta will go on; you cannot stop it. Mind you cannot stop thinking even for a moment, either you shall think of this material life or you shall think of Krsna. So Krsna consciousness means instead of thinking of this material life, you think of Krsna
- Cintam aparimeyam ca, that should be transferred to krsna-cinta. Satatam kirtayanto mam yatantas ca drdha-vratah (BG 9.14). If you always be busy in glorifying or chanting the holy name of the Lord, then your cinta, anxiety, is transferred
- Cintam aparimeyam ca. Your cinta will not act. You may think for the safety or satisfaction, but that does not mean we should neglect our duty. But as far as possible we should be detached
- Cit means knowledge. So in this material body we have no knowledge. Even if we have got . . . now imperfect knowledge, limited knowledge. But in the spiritual life you have got full knowledge. That is spiritual life
- Civilization is peaceful life, and we should be satisfied in simple mode of life and always think of Krsna. Therefore Vrndavana life is like that, Vrndavana life, especially those who are engaged in devotional service
- Cleanliness is next to godliness. Very much clean, rise early in the morning, take your bath and perform mangala aratrika, then chant Hare Krsna mantra, then read scriptures. In this way remain twenty-four hours engaged in Krsna's service
- Cleanliness is very essential. In English also it is said cleanliness is next to godliness
- Clear conception. The sastra, Brahma-samhita, clear description of God: venum kvanantam. He is playing on flute. It is not that the Muralidhara, Syamasundara, Krsna, has been imagined by some poet. No. It is described in the sastra
- Combine together, working differently but for the same purpose, for pleasing Krsna, then you will become happy. That is equality. Unity in variety. That is wanted
- Come to the bhakti-yoga by chanting Hare Krsna. Immediately. You haven't got to wait. Immediately take. That is the special gift of Lord Caitanya
- Common man within this material world, he commits mistake: "To err is human." Even big, big personalities, they commit mistake. But narayana parah. He is transcendental. Krsna is transcendental. There cannot be any mistake; there cannot be any illusion
- Complete arrangement comes from the complete, purnat. There is water. This water has come from a water stock. The arrangement is complete
- Complete comprehension of the Absolute Truth is impossible with an unholy, demoniac mind
- Complete means complete brain. Janmady asya yatah (SB 1.1.1). Because He has complete brain. Anvayad itaratas carthesv abhijnah: He's complete aware of everything. Therefore there is complete arrangement
- Completely under the grip of material nature, the rascals, they are thinking, "I am independent. There is no God, there is no control; I can do whatever I like." That is not the fact
- Conditioned souls means one who is identifying with this body, he is called conditioned soul. He is under the condition of this material nature, prakrti. So such persons cannot be perfect
- Conquer over death. Aihistham yat tam punar-janma-jayaya. So that is this highest knowledge. Highest knowledge is to conquer over the death
- Consciousness belongs to the soul. That is the symptom of presence of soul
- Consciousness is eternal, and consciousness is the symptom of the soul. Soul is eternal. When the soul takes shelter in the matter, then the matter develops, not that that combination of matter, you can produce soul
- Consciousness is there. That is a symptom of life, symptom of spirit soul. But the difference is due to material contamination
- Consciousness, that is the main thing in this body. So any intelligent man with common sense can understand it. What is this consciousness? This consciousness is the symptom of the soul
- Constitutionally, we are following the leadership, but we want immediate, temporary relief for our miseries. We do not want permanent solution of all miseries. That is the defect of our life
- Controlling the mind by the yogic process, by meditation, is impossible. It was possible in the Satya-yuga: read so many sastras, the essence of the sastra. That is the duty of the acarya
- Controlling the mind, controlling the senses, & simplicity, very simple in behavior, tolerance; full knowledge; vijnanam, practical application of knowledge; astikyam, full faith in Vedic literature and in God. These are the qualification of sattva-guna
- Controlling the senses, truthful, clean, full of knowledge, believing in the sastra and God, and vijnanam, practical application of knowledge in life, vijnanam . . . simply to know is useless. You must practically apply in life. That is called vijnanam
- Cow has got special importance because it supplies milk, and milk is very essential food
- Cow protection is very essential in Vedic civilization. Therefore we offer respect Krsna, Krsna is the benefactor of cows and the brahmanas
- Cow protection is very, very essential in human society because it gives the milk, the miracle food. You can prepare hundreds and thousands of preparation, all not only delicious, but brain-maintaining. You can get good brain
- Criticize or not criticize, we have to give everything carefully. But our preaching must be to save the people from pitfalls
D
- Dadati pratigrhnati. You have to give and you have to take. I love somebody. I give him something: "My dear, you take this." And when he offers also, if he also loves you, he also return you. Not exactly for returning. It is love to give and take
- Daiva means godly. You may arrange everything, but if God is against you, in spite of your all arrangement, everything will be failure. That is described in the Bhagavad-gita
- Dangerous civilization that labdhva su-durlabham idam bahu-sambhavante (SB 11.9.29). After many, many millions of years one gets the chance of becoming a human being, especially civilized and especially in India
- Darwin's theory, from monkey, man has come, but you never shown us that a monkey has ever given birth to a man. So all this false propaganda, we are no more interested
- Death is described in the Bhagavad-gita . . . what is that death? That death is Krsna, or God. That is stated in the Srimad Bhagavad-gita: mrtyu sarva-haras ca aham
- Death is not my obligation. Because I am impure, therefore I am dying. Birth is not my obligation. Because I am impure, therefore I am taking birth." Four things: janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi (BG 13.9). Janma, birth, is due to my impure consciousness
- Deha means body. Either it is dead or alive, it has no life. Apranasya hi dehasya. Deha is not alive. It is dead. Simply we understand, because we are foolish rascals, we understand that this body is dead when the soul is away. The body is always dead
- Deha, deha means this body. Apatya means children. Kalatra means wife. Here is struggle for existence, and you're thinking that "This my strong body and my nice children and my wife, they are my soldiers. So I am saved." Everyone is thinking like that
- Demigods means those who are devotee of the Lord. Visnu-bhakto bhaved daivah. Visnu-bhakta: the all-pervasive Supreme Personality of Godhead and His devotee. The Godhead is called deva, and his devotees are called daiva
- Demons are full of hate, greed, anger, lust, etc., & they are tireless in their efforts to illicitly amass great wealth merely to gratify their sensual urges. On the other hand, their competitors are no less expert in cheating them of their black wealth
- Demons do not know that "I am not this body. I am spirit soul. Aham brahmasmi." So therefore they do not know this. Therefore they are called nastatmanah. They have lost their spiritual sense. Why? Alpa-buddhayah, not very intelligent
- Demons means material activities. If there is spiritual activity, it remains very light. And if there is too much material activity and materialistic person, it become heavier and troublesome
- Demons' thinking, So long I shall be aspiring more and more, I am getting entangled more & more within this material world. Because Krsna is so kind, He has given me freedom to enjoy this material world, but according to my work, I am becoming implicated
- Demons, they are anxiety. Everyone has anxiety, but their anxiety, aparimeyam. Just like ordinary man, he has got some anxiety: "How to maintain my family? How to get money to maintain family?" like that. But the demons, they are immeasurable, unlimited
- Demons, they do not believe in God or God’s service or next life. These are the demons. They are thinking that this is the chance for sense enjoyment
- Desire must be there. Because I am living there, living being, I must have desires. That is the symptom. A stone has no desire, but a living being, however small, insignificant ant, it has got desire
- Desires you cannot give up. That is not possible. Desires will remain there, but at the present moment, in the conditional stage, the desires are being misused. That is the defect. Therefore the definition of bhakti means anyabhilasita-sunyam
- Devotee is bhagavat-prapannah. Bhagavat means to the Supreme Personality of Godhead; prapannah means fully surrendered
- Devotee means servant - not paid servant, but servant by affection
- Devotee's business is to know that everything belongs to Krsna; it must be used for Krsna. This is Krsna consciousness. He's neither tyagi or bhogi
- Devotees are distributing their possession to these unfortunate people. Therefore he's immediately recognized. That is the process. Devotee does not want any recognition, he knows that, My Lord wants this rascal to go back to home. So let me try my best
- Devotional service are activities of Brahman. Activities in Krsna consciousness means activities in Brahman
- Devotional service is unconditional. Devotional service does not depend on any material qualification
- Devotional service means to accept favorable and reject unfavorable. This is called saranagati
- Devotional service of the Lord that ignores the authorized Vedic literatures like the Upanisads, Puranas, and the Narada-pancaratra is simply an unnecessary disturbance in society
- Dhairyat - and one has to become very tolerant, because so many things will disturb. Caitanya Mahaprabhu therefore said that, trnad api sunicena, taror api sahisnuna (Siksastaka 3). We have to tolerate. We have to do our business
- Dhananjaya is a name of Arjuna, and Krsna said that, "My dear Arjuna, there is nobody greater than Me." So if anyone claims that he is God, he must prove by practical example that nobody is richer than him. That is the first
- Dhanena dhanavan. They say that a rich man means one who has got sufficient stock of food grains. Food grains. Dhanena dhanavan. That is Vedic economic system
- Dharma means the natural instinct. The natural instinct is to obey the superior person. Every one of us, we are meant for obeying the Supreme
- Dharma means the prescribed rules by which one can elevate himself to the transcendental life. That is dharma, religion
- Dharma means which cannot be given up. The so-called dharma, or religion . . . suppose I am Hindu and somebody is Christian. This is called faith. The dictionary meaning is, "Religion is faith." So faith can be changed
- Dhira and adhira, there are two classes of men. One is sober, even there is cause of agitation, still he remains firm. He is called dhira. And adhira means as soon as there is cause of agitation, he became a victim. That is called adhira
- Dhira can be possible when we develop love for Krsna. Then we become dhira. Otherwise, it is not possible. Otherwise we shall be disturbed
- Dhirah means very sober, fully controlled. That is called dhirah. Dhiras tatra na muhyati. Unless you become dhirah, you cannot understand what is spiritual life. That is not possible
- Dhrtarastra was physically incapable, blind, therefore he did not come in the battlefield. Otherwise, even Bhismadeva, in such old age he also came. This is ksatriya spirit. When there is fight, there is no rest
- Dhrtarastra was rotting there. He lost everything. He lost his kingdom, lost his sons, grandsons and everything. Still he could not give up the so-called material happiness
- Dhruva Maharaja worshiped Krsna with a motive. But after being perfect in devotional service he becomes without motive. When he saw actually Krsna, he said: "No, no, no. I don't want anything from You. I don't want any benediction." That is bhakti
- Dhruva wanted the kingdom better than his father, grandfather. So he had to undergo severe austerities. He got Krsna. But when he got Krsna, he said: "I don't want any benediction." This position you can attain any moment. This is the result of tapasya
- Diamond also illuminating, but it is not original. Original luminous is sun, & the illumination expanded by diamond is not so valuable as the sunshine. Similarly, Brahma, although we see him so powerful, he has little power derived from the Supreme Lord
- Different desire means different types of association. We are therefore recommending that you associate with us. Then there will be one desire: how to understand God, that's all. That is wanted
- Different devotees have different inclination to offer his service to different features of God. Therefore, He has got innumerable features of the presentation. They are differently named
- Dina-cetasam means poor-minded, dina; or crippled, cripple-minded. Actually, I see all the householders in Western countries, they are cripple-minded. Just like animal they are living. There is no high thought: what is next life, what is God
- Direct contact is not possible. Neither that is the way of worshiping by the method of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. That is sahajiya-vada
- Discipline is the first law of obedience. If people do not care for the government laws, then there will be chaos
- Disease can be repeated. But if you get your spiritual body, then there is no more question of miseries
- Divyam means "not ordinary." It should not be understood just like we take our birth. Krsna does not take His birth like us
- Do not try to poke your nose which is inconceivable. And that also not assertion
- Do this preaching work - it is not difficult - and be happy
- Do you think simply by bringing a nice physician and nice medicine you can save your son? Then where is your responsibility
- Do you think this nice flower has come out without any brain, this nonsense philosophy? The so-called scientist will put some bombastic word, "this, that. . ." What is that explanation? Nobody can understand
- Do you understand that the soul is immortal and it is transmigrating, tatha dehantara-praptir (BG 2.13)? Do you know all this problem? Then why you have become national leader
- Dogs are thinking, "I am dog," and he's barking. Similarly, if I think, "I am Indian," "I am American," where is the difference between dog & me? There is no difference. Dog does not know that he is not this body, & I do not know that I am not this body
- Doll exhibition you can have in this temple also. People will come to see
- Dolls means the Bhagavata sloka explained by doll display
- Don't be bothering yourself for solution of economic question. That is already provided. Just like all these animals, these birds, they have no question how to live, how to eat, how to mate, how to defend. This is already there
- Don't be disappointed that "Because I am poor, I cannot become devotee." Everyone can become devotee
- Don't be disappointed that many people are not coming. It is a . . . it is a subject matter which is not for many people. Only selected
- Don't be disappointed. Go on with your regulative principles, as they are advised in the sastra and the guru
- Don't be disappointed. Krsna will give you protection. Try to go on with this para-upakara movement
- Don't be members of the society of cheaters and cheated. Then the life will be spoiled. Our only request, this Krsna consciousness movement, is, Take to Krsna consciousness
- Don't be misled. Isa-tantrya, by the laws of nature, we are bound up tight, hands and legs. We are not independent. You cannot do anything independently. You are completely under the clutches of material nature
- Don't be proud, "Because I am man, I don't require protection." Here it is said, Krsna said, er, Arjuna said, purusottamena so 'ham rahitah: "Now I have no protection." Arjuna was so great hero. Still, he required protection
- Don't bother very much to know Krsna. That is not possible. Simply increase your unalloyed love for Krsna. That is perfection of life
- Don't create a situation that "I am this. I am that." Simply create a situation that you completely understand that "I have no other business than to advance in Krsna consciousness, and my only duty is to serve Krsna." This is wanted
- Don't differentiate, that "This is a stone statue of Bhagavan." No. He is Bhagavan, arca-murti, arca-vigraha. Because we cannot see Bhagavan with our present eyes, Bhagavan, out of His causeless mercy, has appeared in a form which you can see
- Don't go all of a sudden to see the face of the Lord, just like the sahajiyas did. Their reading of Bhagavata means rasa-lila. Rasa-lila is the smiling of Krsna, where Krsna is personally enjoying very sweet smiling
- Don't hide your income tax. You simply pay tax to the central government and it will be distributed to the educational department, to the defense department, to the hygienic department, everywhere
- Don't make friendship. Simply beat the mind with shoes and broomstick; otherwise cannot bring in control. And other alternative is kevalaya bhaktya. So if you can engage your mind at the lotus feet of Krsna, then it is possible
- Don't say that Krsna has only one purpose. That only purpose is that you surrender. Now, when you surrender, whatever Krsna says, you do it
- Don't take that Radharani is an ordinary woman, like we have our wife or sister or mother. No. She is the pleasure potency. And the birth of Radharani was not from the womb of any human being. She was found by Her father in the field
- Don't take this nonsense instruction that "Except on this planet there is no life other planet." This is simply nonsense. Every planet is congested with living entities. This is the description in the sastra
- Don't think like the so-called scientists that only this planet is full of living beings and other all vacant. No, that is not the fact. Every planet, it is congested with living entities. That information given there
- Don't think that because Krsna has come in this material world, so He is also affected by the material qualities. No. This is controlling power. Although He comes in this material world, He's not affected by the material qualities
- Don't think that because one has become Krsna conscious there will be no enemy. Of course, Krsna conscious person is always ajata-satru. There cannot be any enemy. There cannot be enemy in this sense - that no enemy can do any harm to them
- Don't think that Krsna consciousness will go without any difficulty. There will be so many difficulties. Even your father will be enemy. This is the history, traced
- Don't think there is no life. There is life. Why not there life? If this planet contains so many living entities, why not in other planets? So from Vedic scripture we understand
- Don't think you are, we are, every one of us, independent. No. No independent. And after death you are completely under the grip of material nature. That time you cannot say, "I don't care for anyone." No, you have to care
- Don't try to be a dry speculator to understand the ultimate truth. Namanta: just become meek and humble. And try to receive the message from authorized sources
- Don't work for sense gratification or personal interest. Real interest is how to satisfy Krsna. That is real interest
- Don’t bother about so-called economic development, because by God's arrangement everything is there
- Doubling book distribution - that is our real mission. Yare dekha tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa (CC Madhya 7.128). That's all. This is the opportunity of speaking the words given by Krsna
- Dr. O.B.L. Kapoor is a Vaisnava. Although by age he is my younger, we are Godbrothers, for the last forty years, since he was a student at Allahabad & I was doing some business there, we are known to each other. His association is a great blessing for us
- Drinking wine and eating meat, the next stage is illicit sex. Is that the business of the Hindu monk? There are sampradayas, Ramanuja-sampradaya, Sankara-sampradaya. But where the Hindu monk drinks and eats meat
- Due to our misunderstanding we are creating problem. There is no problem at all, but the same misunderstanding: that this land does not belong to me; I am claiming, "It is my land." This body - I am not this body, but I am claiming, I am this body
- Due to sunshine, the seasonal changes are taking place, and the varieties of trees, plants are growing. Everything is going on. The moon is also working under sunshine. And due to the moon, there are waves in the sea
- Duh means very difficult, and puram means satisfaction. Duspuram. We have taken shelter of lusty desires which will never be satisfied. This is our position. Kamam asritya duspuram
- Duhkha means suffering. And the real suffering is to take birth and then again die. And between birth and death there is old age and disease
- Dullness means consciousness is covered. You put a child in open air, he'll not feel much cold. You'll see practically. He'll not feel, because consciousness is not developed. Animal, they will not feel cold. But we feel
- Duly, there is seasonal changes. You get seasonal fruits, flowers, grains, and all necessities. You'll be still given chance, especially for the human being, that you get all supplies, necessities
- Durbhiksa means these brahmacaris, sannyasis, they should go to every householder's house and take some alms. When this is refused, that means we are calling durbhiksa, scarcity of food grain. It should be given
- During night, in darkness, we cannot understand what is what
- During the reign of Yudhisthira, the clouds showered all the water that people needed, and the earth produced all the necessities of man in profusion. Due to its fatty milk bag and cheerful attitude, the cow used to moisten the grazing ground with milk

- Duty means to follow the duty enjoined by the scriptures. That is called duty
- Dvayam means two, Radha and Krsna. They are one. There is no difference, energy and the energetic. So Radharani is the energy, pleasure energy, of Krsna

- Even one is mukta, liberated, he can be also fallen down unless he is very strong in his determination. Maya is always there. Daivi hy esa gunamayi mama maya duratyaya
- Even one thinks that he knows everything, still, he, before the spiritual master, he should be blank slate that, "I do not know anything." That is the qualification of the disciple

- Even such literature is written in broken language, not in the proper way from grammatical point of view, from poetic point of view, from rhetorical, because such literature is full with glorification of the Supreme Lord, saintly persons, they accept it
- Even that Krsna is not present at the moment, but still we can hear His instructions what He gave. In the Bhagavad-gita, many instructions He left
- Even the biologist or the anthropologist, oh, they cannot calculate. But from authoritative, revealed scripture we get this information that there are 8,400,000's of species of life, of which human being, they are divided into 400,000's species of life
- Even the carnivores could be trained to be vegetarians. Their nature is to eat meat. You have to give him. That is different thing. But they can be tamed. But not very trustworthy
- Even the father is sometimes violent, the child or the son tolerates. A typical example is Prahlada Maharaja. Innocent child, Krsna consciousness child, but father torturing. He never says anything
- Even the living body's function, that is also useless. Because, after all, it is useless. It is useful so long the spirit soul is there. Therefore the spirit soul is important, not this body

- Even though the people are in the status of sudra, they should be given opportunity for spiritual advancement, and that is Caitanya's special gift, and very easy, that "Whatever you may be, that doesn't matter. Chant Hare Krsna and gradually realize
- Even though you are now in sudras, but don’t make mistake to find out a master who is a nonsense. Then life is spoiled
- Even though you think that Krsna is not present, but He is present by His words, Bhagavad-gita. He is absolute. Krsna the person, and Krsna's words, Bhagavad-gita, there is no difference
- Even tiger or any ferocious animal, if they are satisfied in hunger, no hunger, they don't attack. In the jungle, tiger and other animals, they live together. When they are hungry, they attack
- Even we offer Krsna prayer with broken languages, because Krsna is Absolute, Krsna will accept it. Bhava-grahi, bhava-grahi-janardana. Janardana, Krsna, sees how much your heart is pure for serving Krsna. Krsna does not see the wording of your prayer
- Even without becoming master He (Krsna) is providing everything. Even though those who do not accept Him, He is also giving them. What to speak of those who have accepted Him? This is very simple philosophy. It is His position to accept service

- Every day make chanting at least for one hour in the temple. And do your activities as usual. Don't be disappointed. Krsna will see His own business
- Every living entity has his original characteristic, which is called dharma. That characteristic is described by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa (CC Madhya 20.108-109). This is the characteristic
- Every living entity is by nature joyful, spiritually, and because he is materially covered, his joyfulness is hampered. That is the real position
- Every living entity is constitutionally the servant of Krsna, but when he wants to enjoy without Krsna, then he has to associate with the modes of material nature. You have to know or study all these understanding. Then you will understand what is what
- Every living entity is eternal; therefore he has future. But for himself he is thinking, "There is no life, next." And he is thinking of the life which will come as his grandson or son, what will be their future. And he is blind about the own future
- Every living entity is individual. That, this particular word, that individual self, and is free from all defects. And because He's free from all defects, His statement is defectless
- Every living entity is son of God, therefore one can love, one can actually have the idea of universal brotherhood, only in Krsna consciousness, not otherwise. Otherwise, they are simply false propaganda
- Every member is being beaten with shoes, and he is simply challenging that, "I'll sue, I'll sue." This is going on. He's punished one after another, but he is so shameless that still he defies the authority. That is called asura
- Every moment should be utilized to understand your position. Your position means to understand you are eternal servant of God, and your duty, to carry out the orders of God
- Every moment we see that someone is going to the court of Yamaraja - that means death. That is our experience, everything. Who is not yet dead, still alive, he thinks, I will never die. This is the most wonderful thing
- Every moment you are suffering due to the body, due to the mind, due to the suffering imposed by other living entities. The mosquito will bite, the flies will disturb you, the bugs are there, and then the dogs will bark unnecessarily
- Every one of us human beings; the dress may be different. That is another thing. Similarly the living entity, he is part and parcel of God, but someone has become human beings
- Every one of us is always full of anxieties due to our this material existence. Asad-grahat. It is . . . our existence is in the environment or atmosphere of nonexistence. But actually, we are not nonexistent. Our existence is eternal
- Every one of us is conducting his own institution, and there is difference of opinion even between Gaudiya Mission and Gaudiya Math
- Every one of us should be spiritually strong. Otherwise, superficially if we want to manage, it will not be possible
- Every one of us, anyone who is in this material world, they are subjected to these defects: he is sure to commit mistake - "To err is human" - he is subjected to be illusioned, and he has a cheating propensity
- Every one of you can become spiritually advanced provided you study the science. That is Krsna consciousness movement. It is not a bluff sentiment. It is a great science
- Every papi, sinful man, is very expert in committing sinful activities. But hari-nama is so expert that once chanted, the papi, the sinful man, will be failure to commit sin anymore
- Every Sanskrit word has got its root meaning. Just like Krsna. Krsna has got His root meaning. Krsna, "the greatest." Krs, and na means negation. There are different meanings, but this is one of the meanings
- Every Sanskrit word has got meaning, root meaning. Putra-pinda-prayojanam. Putra is required. Why? After death, if by chance the father does not get ordinary life or goes to the hellish condition of life, the son will deliver. Therefore sraddha ceremony
- Every scripture will say that you find out your real father. Come back, back to Godhead that is the real
- Every so-called learned scholars, they have no, I mean to say, idea what is God, what is Krsna, and where to speak of satisfying Him. But the bhakti means that he, a bhakta, is always ready to sacrifice everything to satisfy Krsna
- Every time there has been a religious reformer or a prophet, he has been treated very nicely, but in other parts of the world, prophets or religious reformers have been mistreated
- Every woman should be religious. Religious means to become chaste, faithful to the husband. And the husband should become a devotee. Then both of them will make progress in Krsna consciousness, and that is the perfection of life
- Everybody is saying, not only politicians, but everybody is saying that we are degrading; moral standard is degrading. But nobody acts. That is the difficulty
- Everybody will be thrown in the laws of nature according to his karma. Now I am father, he is son, but after death my son may become demigod, I may become a dog. And here I may keep the photo of my father, and father may be rotting somewhere as a dog
- Everyone can understand that if I pinch any part of my body or your any part of the body, you feel pain. Or similarly, if you get some other facilities, pleasure, so pains and pleasure are felt so long there is consciousness
- Everyone goes and mixes as every river goes down to the ocean, and there is no more distinction which is the river water and which is the ocean water. They become one. That is the monistic philosophy
- Everyone has got a destined breathing period by superior arrangement, so if you don't spend your breathing, then you'll prolong your life. This is the system
- Everyone has got a particular relationship with Krsna in his original, constitutional position. That will be revealed gradually as you advance in devotional service in the prescribed rules and regulation. That is called svarupa-siddhi
- Everyone has got desires, different types of desire. Child is desiring some way or other. The boy is desiring another way. So the desire is on account of this body, different desire
- Everyone has got interest. But nobody knows what is real interest. That is missing
- Everyone has no idea what is Krsna. And because the representative of Krsna induces one to see Krsna and gives his knowledge and intelligence and tactics how to see Krsna, therefore he is as good as Krsna. That is the verdict of all sastras
- Everyone has to hear either from Krsna or from His bona fide representative. That is srotriyam. And the result will be that after becoming student of such bona fide guru, one will be firmly fixed up in God consciousness
- Everyone in this material world, they are suffering. Just like in the prison house there are different grades of prisoner: first class, second class, third class. But if the first-class prisoner thinks they are enjoying life, that is ignorance
- Everyone is accepting Krsna. But this is the most unfortunate thing, that our men go there to deprecate Krsna. Therefore we should very carefully try to understand Bhagavad-gita as it is presented by Krsna
- Everyone is attached. And this is ignorance. This is illusion, that developed society, community, nationality. But what is that? That attachment. But that attachment has to be taken away. That is knowledge
- Everyone is bad man. Here there is no good man. Do you think in the prison house any good men go there? All criminals. So anyone who has come in this material world, he is a criminal. Therefore he is punished by this material body, simply suffering
- Everyone is blind after material way of life. So the mission of human life is to get out of these clutches of maya. That is the real mission of life
- Everyone is busy of his own interest, but they do not know what is real interest. They do not know what is real interest. The real interest is to invoke the dormant love of Krsna
- Everyone is connected with Krsna. There the trees, the flowers, water, the cows, the calves, the cowherd boys, or elderly cowherd men, Nanda Maharaja, other persons of his age, Yasodamayi, mother, gopis - in this way Vrndavana life, Vrndavana picture
- Everyone is conscious of his activities, ego: "I am doing this." But this ego, this is called false ego. This material. . . under the material energy, this ego is called another way upadhi - designation
- Everyone is convinced that India has got some sort of spiritual. Everyone admits, that’s a fact. But these rascals they come, they do not know anything, beginning from Vivekananda, and they come there, and they are criticized
- Everyone is dualistic: he's controller and controlled. But if you find somebody that He's only controller, not controlled, that is God
- Everyone is engaged in childish activities, but nobody is interested in the real problem of life
- Everyone is engaged only in Krsna's service. They are, from the beginning of the day, four o'clock, they are rise from the bed; they offer mangala-aratrika. You are seeing practically. We are demonstrating how one can become Krsna conscious perfectly
- Everyone is executing his occupational duty. I give this meaning, "Dharma means occupational duty." It is not a sentiment, faith. Occupational duty. That is called dharma. Brahmacari's dharma, grhastha's dharma, vanaprastha's dharma - occupational duty
- Everyone is fallen and the lowest of the mankind, because he's missing the chance of understanding Krsna in this human form life, and nobody knows what he's going to be next life. So it it a very risky civilization without any understanding of Krsna
- Everyone is following the footprints of great personalities in every department of knowledge. Even scientists, they are also following the law of gravitation, basing their further progress on the law of gravitation
- Everyone is fool, rascal. He does not know what is the real problem of life
- Everyone is going on under the stringent laws of material nature. We cannot help. The same example: if a man is diseased, you can try to bring to him nice physician, nice medicine, but that is not guarantee that he will be cured. That depends on Krsna
- Everyone is in the blazing fire of material existence. It is just like forest fire. If there is fire in the forest, all the inhabitants of forest, all the animals, they become so much in perturbed condition. So guru means to rescue from this forest fire
- Everyone is keeping a dog, very favorite pet. And in church, they'll talk of God, but practically they love the dog. Is it not? This is going on, in the name of religion
- Everyone is not expected to hanker after spiritual salvation. That requires also many, many years' qualification. So manusyanam sahasresu. After many . . . out of many, many thousands of people, one is very much anxious for spiritual realization
- Everyone is perfect, but he's covered with some dirty thing. Just like gold is covered with some dirty earth. But if you wash the gold, or, by chemical process if you cleanse, then real gold will come out
- Everyone is rascal, demons, rogue, everything. There is no ideal character. All politician, scientist, leader they are all drunkards and woman-hunters. So what they can lead? There is no ideal man in the society
- Everyone is relative controller. But if you try to find out who is the absolute controller, then He's Krsna
- Everyone is servant here, all of us present, but someone is serving maya, the illusion, and someone is serving the Supreme Lord
- Everyone is servant. He's simply falsely thinking that he's God, he's master. You have got very nice example in the life of Mr. Nixon. He was thinking that he's everything: "I am the President." But now what is his position, you can understand
- Everyone is serving. Nobody can say that, "I am not serving." No, you cannot say. Even if you have no master, then you create one master, a dog or cat, and you serve him
- Everyone is suffering. This is a place for suffering. Duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15), Krsna says, who has created this place
- Everyone is thinking like that. "Now I am in a good family. I've got my family members very nice. I've got very strong body. Oh, what do I care, God is dead?" That's all
- Everyone is thinking that he is very highly elevated, learned, but he is fool number one. That is going on, because there is no standard knowledge
- Everyone is trying to adjust incompleteness, but the Vedic information, "Everything is complete." That means lacking knowledge
- Everyone is trying to be very happy, but why there are so many discrepancies? Somebody is very poor, somebody is very rich, somebody is in the middle. That means there is superior supervision
- Everyone is trying to love something: either personally his body, senses, or expanded: wife, children - family, community, society and country, humanity, extending. But there is no, I mean to say, satisfaction. Because the real lovable object is Krsna
- Everyone is under the impression that "I'm this body." "I am Indian," "I am American," "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," "I am Christian" - bodily upadhi, designation. He does not become free from the designation
- Everyone is under the influence of maya, bahu-rupaya. So long he is under the influence of maya, he must think in terms of his own form, "I am this," "I am that," "I am . . ." So it is a very important verse: Bahu-rupa ivabhati (SB 2.9.2)
- Everyone is very anxious to become guru, but rascal does not know how to become guru. So many gurus come from India, all rascal, but they will not speak what Krsna has instructed. Maybe for the first time this has begun, in Krsna consciousness
- Everyone is very proud of his senses. Somebody says, "Can you show me God?" But have you got the power to see God first of all? So these things are not very intelligent questions and answer
- Everyone is working in this material world for some salary or for some remuneration, but if one works as a matter of duty . . . anasritah karma-phalam karyam. Karyam means "It must be done." In such a way if somebody acts, then he is sannyasi
- Everyone is working so hard. So when one becomes intelligent, then he understands that, What I am doing? I am thinking that I am master, I am proprietor, I am the head of the family, but what I am doing actually? I am acting as servant of my senses
- Everyone is working under some impure consciousness, just like nationalism: "I am American," "I am Indian," "I am Englishman," "I am German." This desire is polluted, because I am spirit soul, part and parcel of Krsna
- Everyone is worshiping a person. Everyone is . . . but we have to worship the Supreme Person. That is perfect
- Everyone knows "This is not good," but he is punished; again he does that. So Pariksit Maharaja said, What is the use of this atonement?
- Everyone must be below, subordinate. That is Vedic instruction. And that has been selected, or that has been concluded, who is that Supreme Being. That is we get from Vedic information: isvarah paramah krsnah (Bs. 5.1), that Supreme Being means Krsna
- Everyone requires protection. That is nationalism. Not that crippled ideas: "I am good, my brother is good, and everyone is bad." That is not nationalism
- Everyone says: "Swamiji, you have done wonderful thing." But I say: "I do not know any magic, jugglery. But wonderful thing is that I have not adulterated." That is wonderful
- Everyone should be engaged in his own work, and by the fruit of his work, he should serve Krsna
- Everyone should be interested to understand the Absolute Truth. But this is Kali-yuga. Practically nobody is interested. The symptoms of Kali-yuga is Mandah sumanda-matayo manda-bhagya hy upadrutah (SB 1.1.10). They are very slow or all bad, mandah
- Everyone should read books, and others should hear. That is very essential, sravanam
- Everyone wants to exploit the resources of the material nature. He wants to become master. That is the struggle for existence
- Everyone who does not obey the orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he is criminal. Stena eva sa ucyate. Stena eva sa . . . this is the verdict of the sastra. Forgetfulness of Krsna, or God, is materialism
- Everyone who is not serving Krsna, he is in the wrong path
- Everyone's center is Krsna: "How Krsna will be happy?" This is Vrndavana life. If we try to follow the footsteps of the residents of Vrndavana, how to love Krsna, then our life is successful
- Everyone, even the ant, he is also drunkard. They have scientifically studied, the ants are very much fond of intoxication, therefore they eat sugar
- Everyone, every human being, should be intelligent, that "This is my position, so what is the use of living like a demon?
- Everyone, they are preaching Bhagavad-gita with the purpose of killing Krsna. Everyone. The politicians, the scholars, the rascals and everyone. The main purpose is how to kill Krsna
- Everything belongs to God, and everyone is God's children. Why one should suffer? This is another Vedic communism
- Everything God's property. And we are all part and parcel, sons of God, so the property is for us; it is not for others
- Everything has clear conception in the philosophy of Vedic literature, especially they're summarized in the Bhagavad-gita As It Is. So our only request is that you become God conscious. This is the opportunity
- Everything here in the material world is spiritual reflection covered by the material elements. So when this sound is purified or you catch up the spiritual sound, then your spiritual life begins
- Everything is complete arrangement. That we have to understand, that who has made this complete arrangement
- Everything is complete. You take milk from the cows and just till the field and get some food grains. That is sufficient. Whole economic question solved. And save time for developing Krsna consciousness. This is the arrangement
- Everything is created. This table is created. You cannot say that it has come naturally. This form may be created or it exists at a certain state of time, but the energy is never created
- Everything is development of consciousness. So when one comes to Krsna consciousness, that is perfect

- God's another name is Acyuta - "Never falls down." We cyuta, we fall down sometimes. When we fall down, then God comes to save us
- God's creation cannot be stopped. Just like in God's creation there is sun, there is moon, there is seasonal changes. Nobody can stop this. Similarly the catur-varnyam, according to quality and karma, that division prevails all over the universe
- God's creation is so vast, you cannot estimate even what is the length and breadth of this universe. It is not possible. We have got information four millions of miles. And where is sun situated? Everything is there. So how it is?
- God's name is Acyuta. He never falls down. But jiva-bhuta, jiva, living entities, they are cyuta. They falls down from the spiritual platform to the material platform
- God's name, God's form, God's quality, God's pastimes, activities, are not understandable by our blunt material senses. We cannot see God with these eyes. God is present everywhere. God is present within your heart, God is present within this universe
- God, factually, He has no name. How many names you will remember? But His names are given according to His activities
- Godless civilization. Sinful activities. The reaction will increase - no rainfall, scarcity of food grains, and government taxes. These are written in Bhagavata. Anavrsti-durbhiksa kara-piditah
- Godless means mudha, rascal, duskrtina. They will attempt so many things, simply waste their time and energy. Because they are rascals. And a human being should have intelligence, but they are lower, lowest status of the human being
- Gods are loitering in the street," and "Make this gymnastic and you will become God in six months." These things are going on
- Good brain means how to get relief from all the troubles of material existence. That is good brain
- Good educationists, they were to learn the local language. And they used to learn Bengali. Especially in Calcutta
- Good qualities means we are part and parcel of God, so God is good, so we are also good. Otherwise how can I be part and parcel of God? If God is gold, then I am gold. So why I become iron?
- Gopis are the topmost devotees. And amongst the gopis, Srimati Radharani is the topmost. Therefore Srimati Radharani is greater than Krsna
- Gopis did not care for social, for religious or family and nothing. Sarva-dharman parityajya. They went: "Krsna now is calling. Let us go." This is the typical example of sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam
- Gopis were thinking at home that "Krsna's feet is so soft that we hesitate to take His feet on our breast, but He is walking in the forest & there were so many stones & pricks, they are giving pain to Krsna's lotus feet." Thinking like this, they fainted
- Gosvami does not mean go-dasa. Go means senses, and dasa means servant. If we keep the title gosvami and become servant of the senses, it is cheating
- Government has got many departments - the criminal department and the educational department. Educational department is giving knowledge to the citizens, and the criminal department is punishing, chastising the citizen
- Government means to draw fat salary at the expense of poor people
- Government should establish an institution to create ideal men. We can help
- Gradually, they developed Krsna consciousness, and after some time they proposed, "Swamiji, make me your disciple, initiation." So I said that, "You have to follow the rules and regulation." They agreed
- Gramya means ordinary deals, ordinary dealings, social etiquette. They call me Panditaji, but actually I do not know what is the aim of my life, what is my constitutional position
- Gravitation works on condition. It is not final. Under certain condition it works
- Great, great leaders, on account of their godlessness, they cannot lead the people nicely. Therefore there is no peace and prosperity in the society
- Grha-vratanam: because his real aim of life is that "I shall remain in this house." Grha-vratanam. Grha means household life, grha means this body, grha means this universe. There are so many grhas, big and small
- Grhamedhi means one who does not know what is the aim of life. Grhamedhi and grhastha. Grhastha means although he is living with wife and children, but he knows what is the aim of life. That is the grhastha asrama
- Grhastha asrama, then retired life, vanaprastha. Although grhastha asrama is allowed, but not for all the time, that up to the death. No. That is not allowed
- Grhastha is also asrama, family. That is also asrama. If the grhastha life is meant for cultivating Krsna consciousness, it is all right. This is asrama
- Grhastha life is a concession for sex life. Actually, sex life is not required for advancement of civilization. That is advancement. Why? That if so long we are attached to sex life, we have to remain within this material world - in any form
- Grhastha life is not bad - never bad. Krsna is grhastha. Our worshipable Lord is grhastha. He’s not sannyasa. Is it sannyasa? Why He should be? He is the supreme enjoyer
- Grhastha-asrama is a concession for satisfying sex, that's all. But not more than fifty years. Then you must give up. That is the Vedic civilization
- Grhi means anyone who is living within this body or anyone who is living within this material world. It is a compact thing. So they are very poor-hearted. They do not know what is the value of life
- Grow food for eating, and then they read all these books. They become spiritually advanced. That's all. Deity worship
- Guidance means how to take him to Krsna's shelter. Then he will be all right. The guidance is wrong, no question of Krsna, and he, simply by rubberstamping, "Here is a harijana," how it will be effective? Therefore it is failure
- Guna means quality, and karma means work. One must be qualified for the work, and he must actually work
- Guru is bona fide, he will speak the right thing because he has got the knowledge from the right source. That is guru
- Guru is not manufactured. Guru is in the disciplic succession, one who is strictly follows the footsteps of the sad-gosvamis
- Guru is respected as good as God. Why? Only for this qualification, that he does not speak anything nonsense. He speaks only what he has heard from the acarya. Acaryavan puruso veda (Chandogya Upanisad 6.14.2). Acaryopasanam
- Guru is respected as good as Krsna because he is most confidential servant of Krsna. Why? Because he is teaching everyone to surrender to Krsna
- Guru is teaching everyone to surrender to Krsna. Others, they are not teaching; they are so-called gurus. They are not teaching; they are bluffing, cheating people: "I am God. You press your nose, you become God . . ." So many nonsense things are there
- Guru is worshiped because he is delivering the right thing - no nonsense. That is guru
- Guru means as king is the representative for giving protection to the people, similarly, a guru or brahmin is also meant for giving protection to the people from spiritual side
- Guru means one who has received the knowledge from the right source and distributed the same knowledge. He is not manufacturing. That is Guru
- Guru means one who has seen the Absolute Truth. That is guru. Tattva-darsinah. Tattva means the Absolute Truth, and darsinah, one who has seen
- Guru means one who teaches the regulative principle from sastra, from authorized scripture. That is guru. Guru cannot be anyone
- Guru must transfer his qualities to the student. How it is there that a man makes one's person as disciple and he remains a sudra? What is this nonsense? Can sudra be initiated? No. No sudra can be initiated
- Guru says, "Just brush my shoes." "Yes, sir." You cannot think, "Oh, I am coming from a respectable person, I am so much learned, and my guru is asking me to 'Brush my shoe'? No, I am not doing it." No, then you are not disciple. That is the training
- Guru, according to sastra, who is guru, he must be confirmed by sadhu, saintly person, by sastra. Then he's guru. Sadhu-sastra, guru-vakya, tinete kariya aikya
H
- Happiness is possible when you try to make happy the soul. Then happiness is possible. Just like a bird within the cage. If you simply wash the cage and keep it very nice and don't give any food to the bird, then the bird will never be happy
- Hatha-yoga practice, dhyana-yoga practice, karma-yoga practice, jnana-yoga practice - these are very difficult in this age. But if you take to bhakti-yoga practice . . . it is recommended, sravanam kirtanam
- Have you seen all the inhabitants of all the planets? How you can say? You have to take information from the right source, Vedic source
- He ( Advaita Prabhu) prayed to Lord Krsna that, "You come Yourself. Without Your personal presence, it is not possible to deliver these fallen souls." So by His invitation Lord Caitanya appeared
- He (a diseased man) is lying on the bed. He's passing his nature's calls in that way. He's eating bitter medicine, and he, he cannot move. All these inconveniences, and he says: I am well
- He (God) hasn't got to do anything. Na tasya karyam karanam ca vidyate. He has no duty
- He (human being) should take advantage of understanding what is what, not to keep himself in the dog status, simply eating, sleeping, sex life and defending
- He (Krsna) is the real friend of every living entity. So we have to revive our friendship, or revive our actual relationship, just like Arjuna is doing
- He (Krsna) is, although in this material world, He is transcendentally situated. He has nothing to do with this material world. Svarupa - aisvarya-purna, krsna-sama praya
- He (Lord Caitanya) is Krsna Himself, and He is teaching how to love Krsna. Therefore His process is most authorized
- He becomes a liberated soul, and he goes to the eternal world, and he becomes in his constitutional position of blissful and knowledge and eternal life - Simply by knowing in truth the transcendental nature of Krsna's birth and activities
- He cannot place his mind unto Krsna, matir na krsne paratah svato va, either by good advice of guru or personal, svatah; na mithah, nor by meeting, sat-sanga, so-called sat-sanga, because the real disease is grha-vrata
- He does not say, "Give Me animals." Because we are Krsna conscious, we cannot take anything which is not accepted by Krsna
- He explains that manusyanam sahasresu kascid yatati siddhaye (BG 7.3): "Out of many, many thousands of people, a few people may try how to get spiritual salvation." Not all
- He got the chance of understanding God - he doesn't care for that. He's unnecessarily laboring whole day in the sea, so that he's developing a mentality, he'll think of swimming in the water, and the subtle body will carry him to the fish yoni
- He has become a sannyasi, vairagi, and, but, so much thing, but privately he has got so many connections. Yes. That is called markata-vairagya, monkey's renunciation
- He has come to this material world, prakrti, and . . . or mental concoction, he's creating his plan and struggling for existence. This is real suffering. So Krsna consciousness movement means to save him from real suffering
- He has done a mistake, so he wants to rectify it. He wants to bring money, but if the money is lost, it is lost. Let him come back. What is there? A life saved is more important than save the money
- He has given the name of the book, Hare Krishna and Counterculture. He is selling at the cost of twelve dollars; still, all high class, educated class, are purchasing
- He has got little practice of these nonsense things. But if he sticks to Krsna consciousness, this will be stopped very soon. That is the only remedy
- He has no danger personally. What danger there is? There is Krsna. He is confident, and Krsna protects him in all danger. But he is unhappy. He meets Jagai-Madhai class & faces all kinds of danger. Therefore he is the powerful, authorized agent of Krsna
- He has to be treated by this Krsna consciousness treatment, and the maya will be separated, and he will see, "Ah, yes, I am part and parcel of Krsna." Then he comes to the direct relationship
- He has written a very nice, authorized book on Lord Caitanya in German language, and it is very big, paperback, five hundred pages. It is approved by the Sweden University, and he has sent me. So even a German gentleman, he is taking so much interest
- He is actually servant, but he wants to become master. That is the defect. So he has to give up this mentality, mastership, then he'll be making real progress
- He is always with you, so He understands what kind of knowledge you are in search after. So we must be sincere, that we want to know that Absolute Truth. Then you will find out; Krsna will help you
- He is so perfect and complete. Just like the sun. For millions and millions of years, unlimited temperature, light and heat is coming out, but still, it is the same. Purnasya purnam adaya purnam evavasisyate. Similarly, God is so perfect, so complete
- He knew, his spiritual master knew that he is illiterate, and he knew also that, "I cannot read Bhagavad-gita." But still he was trying to read because his spiritual master has said. This is called staunch
- He knows that they will be finished, pasyann api na pasyati. He has practical experience, still he does not see. This is called maya. Maya means thing is one and he's thinking otherwise
- He knows that, "People will not be very much alert in accepting spiritual knowledge after undergoing so much austerities and penances. Let them chant Hare Krsna and take immediately." That is the special gift of Lord Caitanya
- He was to be arrested by the Yamaduta for purification. That was his external affair. But by chance, by the grace of the Lord, at the time of his death he chanted "Narayana," not exactly meaning the Supreme Lord Narayana, but his son's name was Narayana
- He'll derive greatest benefit. He'll become devotee. He'll get liberation from this material world simply by doing that, it is so nice. So in all our centers have this doll exhibit
- He's thinking that "Now everything is settled up; I am very happy." Next day death comes and kicks him out, that he does not understand, that "Any moment death can come and kick me out of all this arrangement." That is ignorance. That is foolishness
- Heart failure means the soul has gone. The soul lives in the heart. This is proof from the sastra. Not only the soul, but the Supersoul also is there
- Here amongst the educated class there is influence of all these rascals - Vivekananda, Aurobindo, and . . . that is their one defect. But in the mass there is no influence
- Here in the material world they want to acquire riches and manpower. That is material desire. Does it mean that Krsna and His devotee or His representative is like that, desiring to fulfill some material ambition by getting money and men
- Here in this material world they are so much attached to sex life. So it is Caitanya Mahaprabhu who first of all opened this secret of attachment within Radha and Krsna. Radha-Krsna love affair
- Here is a description of the residents of Vaikuntha. Fools and rascals will say this is all mythology and Vyasadeva, the compiler of the Vedic literature, he has presented this science by presenting our Vedic philosophy. It is not mythology; it is fact
- Here is a nice example. You have seen the sunshine entering your room through a hole of your window, & you will find so many atomic demonstration. So these brahmandas, the so many universes, they are emanating from the breathing of Maha-Visnu in that way
- Here is a very good scope for doll making and exhibit. And the place is very nice
- Here is a very nice example, soldiers. They know, "We are going to give up our life." And what for? "Money." They are prepared to give up life for money. Money is so sweeter than honey
- Here is Bhagavad-gita. Try to understand it, make your life successful, and then broadcast this message all over the world. That is paropakara. So actually, India and India's people, they are meant for paropakara. We are not meant for exploiting others
- Here is one of my students. He has learned Sanskrit now. He can read, he can write, he can edit. So it is a question of learning. There is no difficulty
- Here is the only systematic way to understand God. You simply try to understand the first verse of the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Then everything is explained there
- Here is the simple philosophy, truth, that, First of all let enjoy, let Krsna enjoy. He is the master. Then we enjoy
- Here it is said, prito 'ham: "Never mind you are born in the family of asura, but because I am pleased, you are all-purified. You don't be disappointed." It is only we require to please Krsna
- Here the material disease is not to surrender. Everyone is puffed-up, "I am something." This is material disease. Therefore, to become cured from this material disease, you have to surrender
- Here the pleasure is like that, "You eat rasagulla and then be beaten by shoes." Perhaps we have got all experience of this. But actual ananda is brahmananda, unlimited
- Here the pleasure is like this, that you, somebody is offering that, You take these rasagullas, and after eating rasagulla I shall beat you with shoes
- Here the proposal is how to achieve perfect happiness of atma. Atma means the body, atma means the mind and atma means the soul. So unless you get happiness of the soul, simply trying to get happiness of the body and the mind, you'll never get happiness
- He’s Krsna, but He Himself is always chanting Krsna, krsna-varnam ete: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna. This is Krsna Himself; He is teaching us actually that is the position. Krsna Himself has come to teach how to love Krsna
- Higher intelligence is utilized for purification. That is the teaching
- Hindus, they also pray, go to some demigod, or Krsna. Mostly they go to demigod, especially to Lord Siva, because Lord Siva's name is Asutosa. If you please Lord Siva, it is very easy. He's very easily satisfied
- Hippies and murderer in the name of religion. This is their culture. And abortion. Because there is no such culture, therefore the result is the abortion and killing and bombing, making the whole atmosphere abominable. This is your culture
- Hiranya means gold, and kasipu means soft bed, cushion. So materialist persons, they are very much fond of gold and enjoying sex. That is their business. So Hiranyakasipu is the typical example of this materialistic person
- Hiranyakasipu thought that, "Yamaraja is the superintendent of death. He comes to take, so I shall make such policy that he may not come to me." What is that policy? "So bring some stool. I shall smear over my body, and out of bad smell, he'll not come
- Hiranyakasipu, he also performed tapasya. What was that tapasya? He performed severe tapasya, so much so that the whole universe become perturbed and Brahmaji came to see, "What do you want?" No, I am performing tapasya for becoming immortal
- Hiranyakasipu, he always defied the son's, the small child. His only fault was he was chanting Hare Krsna. And even the father, what to speak of others, he became his enemy. So don't think that Krsna consciousness will go without any difficulty
- Hiranyakasipu, he defied God: "Who is God? I am God. You take my name." The child said, "My dear father, you are not God." He would never address his father as "father." He addressed him the best of the asuras
- Hiranyakasipu, when he's captured by Nrsimha-deva, He's death. Kara-kamale nakham adbhuta-srngam dalita hiran . . . immediately. Finished. The same hand on the head of Prahlada Maharaja, "My dear child, be blessed." The same hand. This is the position
- His (Krsna's) gopis, His consorts, His father, His mother, His friends, His trees, His flowers, His calves and cows - everything is spiritual, expansion from Him
- Hog civilization is to work hard day and night to find out where is food, where is shelter, where is sex and where is defense. Wrong type of civilization. The human civilization means "Where is Brahman, the Absolute Truth?" Athato brahma jijnasa
- Hog civilization means there is no restriction of eating, up to the stool. The hogs eat up to the stool. So when in the human society there is no restriction of eating, that is hog society
- Hospitals, there are many, but real hospitals, to cure the material disease, there is no. There are hundreds and thousands of hospitals for curing the disease of the body, but there is no hospital to cure the disease of the soul. That is the defect
- How I shall enjoy this world - That is the real disease
- How it is your body? It is Krsna's body. He has given you the concession that you can live. You can live peacefully. You can enjoy the products which are given to you. I have given you food grains. I have given you fruits, flowers
- How long you will live? When the time of death comes, you will not live longer even by a moment. When a man is going to die, his life is finished. Can your injection, medicine, give one minute's life more? Is there any medicine?
- How many people recognizes God. Take statistic. Everyone will say: Eh! What is God? Therefore they are in trouble. Bhaktivinoda Thakura summarizes this fact: mayar bose, jaccho bhese, khaccho habudubu bhai, jiv krsna-das, e biswas, korle to ar duhkho na
- How much devoted, beautiful. They are spiritual, they are not material. Their bodies are not material bodies. Krsna does not embrace a material woman
- How one becomes God? God is not manufactured by vote. There are definition who is God. God must be the proprietor of all the riches, aisvaryasya samagrasya. Samagra means all. Nobody can compete with Him
- How one can be firmly fixed up unless he has got a taste for it? He relishes, "Yes, this chanting and dancing is very nice." That is called relish. Tato nistha tato rucih tathasaktih: then he becomes attached. He cannot give it up
- How one can get out of the bondage of material existence, vimocitam. But people do not know that "This is my business, how to get out of this entanglement." They do not know even what is that entanglement. Such foolish civilization is going on
- How scientifically it is described: jalaja nava-laksani. First, because there is water for aquatics, then as land comes out, the trees come out. Sthavara laksa-vimsati. Sthavara means these trees and plants, they cannot move
- How shall I find real guru? That is very easy. How it is? Caitanya Mahaprabhu gives us direction. He says, "You become a guru." He asked everyone - not only the Indians, but everyone
- How that consciousness acts? That "I am a servant of God. I am servant of Krsna." When this consciousness is firmly fixed up, this is called Krsna consciousness
- How the characteristics of the original source should be? The original source must be cognizant indirectly and directly of everything. The original Absolute Truth should be cognizant, abhijnah
- How the rascals, simply by little educational qualification, can understand Krsna
- How they are spoiling the opportunity in the whole educational system, social system, political system. Let us do our duty. What can be done
- How they are worshiping Krsna. So Bhagavad-gita, main purpose is that. Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (BG 18.66). So who has preached this? Nobody spoke that, Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You worship Him
- How this body shall be kept in comfort, how the bodily relationship - wife, children, family, community, society - they are all expanded bodily concept of life. So in any conception of this material world if we live, then you are living like cats & dogs
- How to become devotee. Adau gurvasrayam. One has to seek out a bona fide spiritual master. Just like Suta Gosvami has become disciple of a bona fide spiritual master, Sukadeva Gosvami
- How to become free from the bondage of this material body and become free again in spiritual life, that is real problem of life. That they do not know
- How to drive away maya, there are so many processes, how to become cleansed. Drive away maya means something phantasmagoria is covering my eyes; I have to cleanse. That is called ceto-darpana
- How to increase sex desires. This is not civilization. Civilization is how to cut down sex desire and ultimately become free, paramahamsa. That is civilization according to Vedic culture
- How to stop janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi (BG 13.9). That we forget. Minor duties we take prominent. That is the present situation. They do not know that there is life after death, and according to our karma, we are getting the next life
- How we can accept knowledge from a person who is liable to so many defects of life? Try to understand. Therefore our process of knowledge is not speculation. What we shall do by speculation?
- How we shall exist - what kind of body, either demigod's body or dog's body or tree's body or fish's body - that will depend on my work. Or we go back to home, back to Godhead, Krsna, we get the spiritual body like Krsna. Everything is possible
- How you can achieve Krsna? Krsna does not require any service from you but the love
- How you can approach God with sinful life? That is not possible. That is simply bogus thing, that you keep your sinful life, at the same time you want to see God, you want to talk with God. That is not possible
- How you can deny the living force behind this gigantic mechanical arrangement? Call it material world, material machine or whatever you may call. How you can deny? At least from your practical experience you cannot deny
- How you can finish Bhagavatam in seven days? You cannot finish even one word. My Guru Maharaja explained Srimad-Bhagavatam, the first verse, janmady asya yatah (SB 1.1.1), in Dacca, for three months. Actually it is so profound
- How you can say that whatever you see, it is perfect? I am seeing now things under certain condition; next moment I will see things under certain other condition. So as the condition changes, therefore my sight also changes in different ways
- How you can trace out the history of Vedas? Vedas means knowledge. Vedas means knowledge. So first of all find out from which date knowledge began. Then you find out the date of the Vedas
- How you know that the moon planet or sun planet or this planet or that planet have got so many things, this or that? It is from the books. You have never gone to the moon planet, but you learn it from the books, authorized books
- However sinful maybe, never mind what is the magnitude of the sinful activities, sudhyanti: he can be purified by the pure devotee. So that is real knowledge
- However you may try scientifically to prolong your duration of life, live forever, it is not possible. And however you may pose yourself, cheat others, that you are the best man in knowledge, philosopher, scientist, you are a fool. That is not possible
- Hrda means through the heart He transmitted the knowledge, bhagavat-tattva. And after understanding the bhagavat-tattva instructed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Brahma wrote this Brahma-samhita
- Hrsika means senses. These senses have no value without Krsna. Therefore natural conclusion is the senses belongs to Krsna
- Human being is meant to study the sastras. The sastras, Vedic literature, is meant for the human being, not for the cats and dogs. If you don't consult the sastras, then you remain a cats and dogs. That's all
- Human being means with logic. According to their definition, man is rational animal. They're not even rational. Like cats and dogs. There is no rationality
- Human being must have intelligence. But that intelligence is given to him for getting out of the clutches of birth, death, old age and disease. He's not utilizing that intelligence for that purpose, therefore duskrtina
- Human being should be still more advanced in knowledge. That knowledge is not comprising only eating, sleeping, mating and defending. That knowledge is to understand the Absolute Truth, God
- Human being, full consciousness. Now, this is the chance for understanding God. And if they are still kept in darkness like the animals, that's a dangerous civilization-refusing the opportunity to the humanity
- Human beings are so blind rascals, they do not see that this is real suffering
- Human beings should endeavor to get out of this gross and subtle body, attain the spiritual body and go back home. That should be the aim of human endeavor
- Human body, you get developed consciousness. Just like this tree, it is also a living entity, but its consciousness is not yet fructified. If you cut the tree, it does not resist
- Human civilization means tapasya, austerity. Tapo divyam putraka yena suddhyet sattvam (SB 5.5.1). Sattva. We have to purify our existence. That is the aim of human life
- Human civilization means to take care of the spiritual side. If there is no such attempt to take care of the spiritual side, simply for the material side, then we are no better than the animals
- Human civilization means we have got so many animal propensities, and if we can control them, that is advancement of human civilization. Just try to understand
- Human form of body is also temporary. But the animal cannot get that achievement which we can get. Durlabham manusam janma tad apy adhruvam arthadam. Arthadam means . . . artha means meaningful, or some material profit or spiritual profit
- Human form of life is a great boon to the living entity who is traveling through the cycle of birth and death, perpetually changing different sorts of body. Here is the opportunity, we can utilize the tongue properly and get out of these clutches
- Human form of life, nobody is interested to know about the philosophy of the life, value of life. They have become so frivolous. In this evening, everyone is engaged in childish activities, but nobody is interested in the real problem of life
- Human intelligence is there to enquire about the Absolute Truth. So they have got better developed consciousness or intelligence than the lower animals. So that higher intelligence should be utilized for enquiring about the Absolute Truth
- Human life and animal life, the difference is that there is God. The animals do not know what is God. A man can know
- Human life is developed consciousness. So he has to learn it, and he can get rid of this material existence by the process which is prescribed in authoritative scriptures like Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam and Vedic literatures
- Human life is meant for raising oneself to the perfection of consciousness, and that is Krsna conscious. We cannot remain in tiger consciousness. That is not humanity
- Human life is meant for understanding the spiritual value of life, but on account of the people being sudras, they are not interested. They are forgetting the real purpose of life
- Human life is meant for understanding, "What I am? What is God? What is relationship with God? Why I am here in this material world? Why I am suffering?" These are the questions for human life
- Human life is not to be carried away by the so-called natural instinct. Natural instinct, material life . . . there are two kinds of natural instinct
- Human nature should be like that, that "Why should we work so hard, simply for eating, sleeping, mating?" This is a wrong type of civilization
- Human society means to understand it, that what is the basic principle of material life. If we understand it is sex, therefore we have to cut down the sex desire gradually by becoming brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha, sannyasa. This is the process
- Human society must take this KC movement and teach people at least how to become second class, third class, if not first class. But there must be first-class men, second-class men. Then everything, social affair, political affair, will go very smoothly
- Human society should be concerned with two things: dharma and jnana. Dharma means the characteristic
- Human society should be divided into four classes of men, not that everything is a drunkard, that's all. This is not civilization, this is animal life. There must be first-class men
- Human society should be religious, they must have nice economic organization, and the kama, they must have also nice arrangement for sense gratification
- Human society should be sober and continent. I require to eat something, if I have got sufficient grains, fruits, milk, flour, vegetables, why should I kill unnecessarily a poor animal? So this is sinful
- Humanists, they are professing humanists and they are killing so many human being daily. You see? These are all escapism
- Humor is practically in every direct relationship. And indirect also, there is humor. "I am thinking of you as enemy" - that is also another type of humor
- Hundreds and thousands of people are starving, unemployment, but they are getting their fat salary, and they are satisfied
- Hunting is allowed only to ksatriya. Because they were to rule over, and formerly the rogues and rascals by the order of king or king himself would kill him immediately, so they had to practice how to kill. And that practice was done by hunting animal
- Hypophosphate is the very nice medicine for weak health. But that . . . just try to understand that such important medicinal value we are producing in our stool, what to speak of other things. So that is mystic power
I
- I (Prabhupada) have worked alone, now you are so many. Our scope is unlimited, resources unlimited, so we must be exceptionally enthusiastic and sober-minded and responsible for working in that spirit
- I am a big sannyasi and big devotee, I do not go outside Vrndavana, I do not go outside India. I am jagat-guru . . . This cheating is going on
- I am a human being and others are lower animals, that is the greatest abhimana. That is also, what is called, false ego. Human being or animal, they are not different, because the body is made of the same ingredient
- I am becoming a devotee for this purpose - no, that is not pure devotee. "I am eternal servant of God, so it is my duty to serve Him, that's all." That is peace. And so long he'll desire, then he'll not have any peace. That is not possible
- I am busy, and I have to remember Krsna? Sometimes this argument is put forward. But that argument is not strong
- I am citing Sanskrit verses from Vedic literature because according to our concept of civilization, we take Vedic hymns or Vedic version as Absolute Truth, without any mistake, without any cheating
- I am combination of spirit and matter. As soon as I am spirit, I am away from this matter, this body becomes matter. "Dust thou art; dust thou beist." Yes. So those who are mahatma, they have to take shelter of the spiritual energy
- I am controller of my disciples within the Krsna conscious society, but I cannot control the whole world. You are controller in your home but you are also controlled. You are not the absolute controller. Therefore Bhagavan means the absolute controller
- I am creating householder, ideal householder. And my ideas are being fruitful. Here in London I sent six householders, and they are doing nice; sincerely they are working. Therefore I am very much proud of them
- I am different from my soul. "I am" means I am my body, or I am soul, different from the body. So Krsna has no such differentiation. A conditioned soul does not know that, because he's not following Krsna
- I am especially encouraged that that professor has become my initiated disciple, and because he is very intelligent and has a good position of influence in the university, he can utilize this opportunity to serve Krishna very perfectly
- I am eternal. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). I do not die after this body is finished, and again I will have to . . . tatha dehantara-praptih (BG 2.13). So this is knowledge. One has to always think of this. That is called tapasya
- I am existing in this body; you are existing in your body - how it is known? By the consciousness. If I pinch your body, you feel pain. You pinch my body, I feel pain
- I am God. I can do anything. This is demonic attitude. Completely being dependent, as soon as the death comes, immediately we have to leave this position. "Sir, let me stay for one hour more." "No, not even a minute." This is our position
- I am individual person. And the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He is also individual person. Nityo nityanam. This is Vedic information. We are plural number, nityanam. Cetanas cetananam: He's the supreme living force amongst all other living forces
- I am not angry. You can beat me with shoes, I am not angry - That is not devotional. You see? But the thing is, a devotee is not angry on his personal account. Just like God also does not become angry on His personal account
- I am not iron, but I am covered with dirty things; I look like iron. This is the position. Actually I am not iron; I am gold, because I am part and parcel of God. If God is good, then I am good
- I am presenting Bhagavad-gita as it is. This credit I can take, that I don't making any nonsense addition or alteration. And I see practically it has become successful
- I am seeing now things under certain conditions; next moment I will see things under certain other conditions. So as the condition changes, therefore my sight also changes in different ways
- I am spirit, I have got my spiritual body, but that body is now covered by this matter
- I am such a pandita that I do not know what is the goal of my life and what is real benefit for me. I am such a pandita. That means, I am murkha. I do not know my own self-interest
- I am sure if Gaudiya Mission and I combine together, it will be very nice thing to preach the cult of Lord Chaitanya all over the world
- I am taking so much care of this material body, which will not exist, which I shall become 'Dust thou art; dust thou beist.' Again it will mix up with dirty things. I am taking so much care of this body. What about that living force, which is important
- I am taking so much pain in writing books. If you don't read - if you simply make it for sale - then what is the use?
- I am thinking in so many different consciousness. I am thinking in consciousness of nationality, community, society, friendship - so many ways - but without Krsna consciousness. Therefore our consciousness is impure
- I am traveling all over the world. I am going to see how things are going in Dallas or New Vrindaban and another . . . so my touring is natural. I have started this movement. I want to see that it is going on nicely
- I am very glad that you are seriously interested, & Krsna is pleased upon you. And that you are sincerely trying, I can understand from these tulasi plants. Yes. This is the practical demonstration. Unless there is bhakti, this tulasi plant will not grow
- I am very glad to see that the small children from all other countries, and Indian, Bengalis, all together, forgetting their bodily consciousness. That is the greatest achievement in this movement, that everyone forgets the bodily conception of life
- I am very much obliged to your country, USA. You are mostly cooperating with this movement. All of my students, they are mostly American young boys and girls. There are others also, but you are predominant; therefore I must thank you very much
- I am very much thankful to you, you American, European boys and girls who are helping me in this mission. So go on cooperating in this way, and I am sure this mission of Caitanya Mahaprabhu will be successful
- I came here alone, without any expectation, & this movement has become so nice. Actually, by one man's effort it was not possible. This is acintya-sakti, Krsna's, inconceivable. Even a modern businessman, he cannot organize such a worldwide organization
- I can accept the ritualistic process tomorrow of the Christian faith; or a Christian may take another ritual - but his business, to serve the superior, that does not change
- I can give you one example - just a man, if he is thrown into the ocean, he may be very expert swimmer, but simply by swimming over the ocean, he cannot be happy there, because he is put in a different condition of life
- I can meet the president or some exalted person, but to become in love with him in intimacy, that is not easy job. But Caitanya distributed this Krsna love immediately, anyone. That is Mahaprabhu's, I mean to say, contribution to the human society
- I can say my method is very nice. You can say your method is very nice. But we have to judge by the result. That is . . . Bhagavata says that that process of religion is very good following which one becomes a lover of God
- I cannot control even my tongue and control my genital, and I become spiritual master? This is nonsense
- I cannot say what is going on in your mind, in your body, what pains and pleasure you are feeling. But I can speak about myself that, "I am feeling like this." That I can say. So my consciousness is not perfect. It is perfect so far I am concerned
- I cannot see the other side. That does not mean there is nothing. This is all rascaldom. He has become authority: "I want to see." What you can see
- I cannot utilize everything and anything for Krsna which Krsna does not like. Because you are Krsna's servant, so you have to take permission from Krsna
- I did not like to take the position of Krsna. I remained servant of Krsna, and I spoke what Krsna said. That's all. This is my secret. So everyone can do that. There is nothing magic. The magic will act as soon as you become a pure devotee of Krsna
- I do not die on account of my material body mixed up . . . "Dust thou art; dust thou beist." This body is made of five elements: earth, water, air, fire, ether. And this is my gross body
- I do not know magic. But I am presenting puratanah, that's all; no adulteration. If there is any credit, the credit is this - yogah proktah puratanah
- I do not know what wonderful. I do not know any magic. I simply say that you accept Krsna or Bhagavad-gita as it is. That's all. That is my magic
- I do not want so many things. Just like I do not want to become old, but old age is forced upon me; I must become old. I do not want to die. Then death is forced upon me. I do not want to take birth. These are all very troublesome business
- I don't find any Bhagavata-saptaha any authorized book. There are so many big, big stalwart commentators of Srimad-Bhagavatam, beginning from Sridhara Svami. Nobody has recommended Bhagavata-saptaha. But it has come to existence by the professional man
- I don't show my expert service by adding water in it. That I do not do. So we present Bhagavad-gita as it is. In the Bhagavad-gita, Krsna is the Supreme Lord
- I don't think any Indian or any Hindu can deny the authority of Bhagavad-gita. Is there anyone
- I found that only bhakti is the real way. And to correct myself I read out all the Vaisnava literature
- I give you one example. Just like this finger is the part and parcel of your body or my body. If this finger is separated from this body, it has no value. Similarly, we being part and parcel of God, Krsna, if we're detached from God, we cannot be happy
- I have already explained that our real occupational duty is to become servant. So instead of becoming servant of Krsna, we are now servant of our senses. This is our material life
- I have approached the Supreme, the supreme brain, Krsna. He is the perfect person in knowledge
- I have brought KC. I will have to say, ’You don’t take meat, you don’t take intoxication, don’t have illicit sex.’ How they will be able to do that? I was thinking. But by Krsna’s grace everything is possible. That is my practical experience
- I have changed so many bodies, I remember them, but the bodies are not existing; I am existing. This is very simple philosophy
- I have come to your country with a special purpose, with a special mission, that if the American boys and girls take this Krsna consciousness movement very seriously, then that will be followed by other countries, and the face of the world will change
- I have come to your country, at your country. There are many rules and regulation in India which is different from your rules and regulation. But if I follow, if I stick to rules and regulation of Indian conception, then it is impossible to remain here
- I have estimated - I am traveling all over the world - that there are so much space even now that if you produce food grain, you can feed ten times of the population as it is
- I have given the idea for a poster which shall be entitled: "Select Real Leaders - Don't Spoil Life", and it will depict devotees as leaders
- I have got only interest in that particular house where I am living. But the landlord has got interest in so many houses. So Krsna has got interest not only in my body or your body. He has got interest in each & every body. Because He says, sarva-yonisu
- I have got some bhakti and some material desire also, that is not bhakti. That is markata-vairagya
- I have got this authentic literature; you have nothing. So my position is better than yours
- I have got this human form of life for understanding Krsna, understanding God, my position, what I am. I am not this body. I am spirit soul. I have been put into this body, & because I have been put into this body - the body is material - it must finish
- I have got this valuable life, human form of life. Why I shall become a living entity like hogs and dogs? This is called tapasya
- I have heard from reliable sources that Christ was absent from his home for twelve years, and he went to India for studying
- I have information from reliable sources that in France this Krsna Consciousness Movement has very good chance

- I have not given them any bribe. I have not shown them any magic of gold manufacturing. From the very beginning I said: "You chant Hare Krsna." But that is becoming fruitful
- I have particular mission for the whole world. Why London? London is included in the world
- I have received the booklet known as Paramahamsa Sarasvati Goswami issued by the Gaudiya Mission of London. I can understand that this brochure was written by my godbrother, Professor Sannyal, but the essay is not very practical
- I have seen also very educated medical man, England-returned, M.R.C.P - I am speaking from my practical experience - so he goes to a hospital, big doctor, but I have seen in his house, he had not even a good utensil at home. He's so poor
- I have seen in New York that friends are coming to another friend's house because one has no facility for taking shower bath, so coming to a friend's house. So the symptoms of Kali-yuga described that it will be very difficult also to take even bath
- I have seen, especially in Kanpur, even within the lane there are so many temples, Radha-Krsna temple, Visnu temples, Siva temple. So all over India you will find the temples
- I have told all these boys and girls nothing magic. I never showed any gold-making magic. I simply said to them that "Here is Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You surrender unto Him." That's all
- I have told them that Krsna is the Supreme Lord, and they have accepted. This is my magic, and this is their magic. That's all
- I have traveled all over the world. I have seen America from village to village, Africa, Australia. There is so much land vacant that if we properly utilize them, we can produce so much food grains, we can feed ten times as many population as it is now
- I have traveled all over the world. They have got enough money, enough material facilities, but still, the Vedic culture is different. It is so high. And it is taken still in estimation, in adoration, all over the world
- I have traveled over the world at least fourteen times. I have seen there is enough land, especially in Africa, in Australia, in America, and we can produce so much food grains that ten times of this present population can be easily maintained
- I have traveled so many bodies, 8,400,000's of bodies. Now here is a body where is perfect consciousness. I can understand that if I like, I can get next birth God's body
- I have tried to give knowledge to the people as far as possible, as far I have known from reliable sources. So why I am not satisfied
- I hope you will understand me rightly. Everyone who is not a KC person is a butcher. Even the so-called pious man, who is not in KC, he is also a butcher. Because he is killing his own self
- I join some political party because I am finding out the opportunity how I can become a minister or how I can capture some power by going through this political party. This is my real aim. I am not serving that party, but I am serving my ambition
- I know one scientist, a rascal scientist. He has written one Chemical Evolution
- I know something, or I can know the Supreme, by my knowledge. "I am something, I am very important," our process is to forget this first of all. This is called humbleness, submissive
- I know there is some difficulty in the matter of getting the passport and visa for preaching in foreign countries at the present moment, but if the Gaudiya Mission decides to send their representatives in all other parts of the world, I can help them
- I know they're very good souls; they might have done some mistake out of misunderstanding - but you invite them to come back again and take their position. It is not very good sign that they have left. They'll never be happy
- I like especially New York, because I started the movement here. And because there are so many branches, if I go they'll become enlivened
- I love my body. I love my husband's body or wife's body. Why? The real husband, wife or son is within the body. Therefore I love. Then the conclusion is that the soul is important more than the body
- I may change my faith. I am Christian or I am Hindu, I may change myself to become a Muhammadan or Christian or Hindu. But my real occupational duty to render service to others, that cannot be changed. That is the real enunciation of religion
- I mean to say from cow you get milk. From milk you get butter and so many milk products. And from the field you get sufficient grains and fruits. So your economic question is solved immediately

- I remember or forget, but I was in different types of body - that's a fact. So similarly, after leaving this body, I will have another body. That is natural conclusion
- I repeatedly say this. So unless we understand that I or you, we are not this body, there is no question of spiritual understanding or spiritual education
- I requested that we require a set of first-class men that is not there at the present moment. There is no head. They are thinking simply arms wanted, defense, and fight amongst themselves. That's all
- I say "ordinary" because there are millions of oceans floating in the air
- I say all fourth-class men they are, leaders. Therefore the whole world is in chaotic condition. We require first-class men to lead. We are first-class men. Take our advice, and then everything will be all right
- I say from my practical experience. I was thinking that, How can I accept this renounced order of life? I cannot accept so much trouble
- I say I am foolish man. I have no idea. Whatever Krsna says, that is idea. Just like a child

- I say, that the law of gravitation acts under certain condition. This is also conditional
- I say: "Trust in Him," but if I do not know that man, how I can trust? You must explain that "This man is in this way trustworthy." Otherwise, what is the meaning of my trust

- If God is good, then I am good. So because I am covered by the material dirty things, I look like not gold. So this is the test. As soon as you become God conscious, your original all good qualities will manifest automatically

- If we become intelligent enough, then we fully surrender to Krsna. And Krsna says, man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru (BG 18.65). We take up the principle to think of Krsna always, twenty-four hours

- In the Vaikuntha world there is comparative DS. Just like Radharani & the gopis, they are on the same status, but the gopis know that, "Radharani is the better worshiper than us." Therefore their only business is how to take Radharani and join with Krsna

- In this material service, the person to whom you are rendering service, he is never satisfied, neither you are satisfied. That is the position. Try to understand. Nobody

- In this society, Western society, the so-called learned men - they're supposed to be the topmost learned men - they don't even know of the soul. Therefore they're not even in the class of an ignorant man. They're lower than even ignorance
- In this Vrndavana dhama, the village people, if they had some quarrel with husband and wife, they would go to Sanatana Gosvami, "Sir, there is some disagreement between us. You settle up." And Sanatana Gosvami will give his judgment

- Is it possible to prolong life? Not for a second even. When you are destined to die, you must die. Mrtyuh sarva-haras caham (BG 10.34). This death is Krsna. You cannot defy Krsna; that is not possible
- Is there any such thing in the Bhagavad-gita? Is there any advice that, "You open hospital, school and do this philanthropic work"? No
- Isvarah paramah krsnah. Sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah. Vigrah ka arth hota hai Form. but he is not formless, not without form. it is told, the meaning of statue is having form. Formlessness. Formless is another feature, but real feature is Syamasundara
- It doesn't depend on my good or bad health. It is all spiritual news. Spiritually I become very much enlivened

- It has become a fashion of the modern age that to become irreligious is religious. Yes. That is fact
- It is (Hatha-yoga) very difficult in this age. Then you have to restrain yourself in so many things. Complete free from sex life. You have to eat under certain direction, you have to . . . so many things there are
- It is a fact that the soul, soul is different from this body. So long the soul is there, the body acts. And we, with our blunt senses, our gross senses, we cannot see the soul - therefore we deny it. Because our imperfect senses cannot see this
- It is a fact that we are transmigrating from one body to another, one planet to another. That is a fact. Just like I have come to your country, similarly I may go to another planet. It is the question of how to go there, what is the means
- It is a genuine movement, and if you want to learn about God, and if you want to develop your dormant loving spirit for God, then take to this movement. That is our request
- It is a great science how the soul, living soul, is in contact with this material body and how he is transmigrating from one body to another. The example is given just like vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya
- It is a miscalculation that Krsna, the Supreme Soul, is affected by this material nature. That is not possible
- It is a place of suffering. Every moment you are suffering due to the body, due to the mind, due to the suffering imposed by other living entities

- It is actual for the materialistic person that there is an animal, during daytime she is witch, & at night she is tigress. So din ka dakini rat ka baghini palak palak rahu cuse. The witches, they also, by their black art, they suck the blood of children
- It is better to chant the Hare Krsna mantra as loud as possible. So that others can hear and take benefit of it. There is no secret
- It is by nature's arrangement the woman is given one chance at the time of youthfulness. Otherwise how she will be given protection by a man? They require protection

- It is clear that the soul is different from the body. But because we are fools and rascals, we learn it after death. That is foolishness
- It is coming not for my credit or another, anyone credit, Krsna's credit, He is giving. As soon as He sees that "They are working for Me," He'll supply everything, whatever you need. Simply we must be sincere
- It is dangerous civilization. Dangerous. And anyone who will come and say: "Yes, you enjoy your senses and simply sit down for fifteen minutes, and you chant this one alphabet - bas. You finish your business." This is going on
- It is for all living entities, not that I shall simply give protection to my brother, my sister or my father, but even to the lowest animal we shall give protection. This is Krsna consciousness
- It is for simply developing your lost consciousness, Krsna consciousness. That is Srimad-Bhagavatam. Because originally we are Krsna conscious. Because we are all part and parcel of Krsna; therefore Krsna & our relationship cannot be, I mean, eliminated
- It is force that, "You must be beaten with shoes." That is not lila. Nobody says, "Let me play this lila and you beat me with shoes." No sane man will do that

- It is not dependence; it is protection. So there should be responsible father, responsible husband, responsible sons to keep woman very happy. In India still it is going on
- It is not difficult (chanting Hare Krsna). There is no secret. I don't say that, "I have got a secret mantra which I shall give you, and you pay me fifty dollars" or like that. It is open secret

- It is not possible by the so-called yoga system or meditation. One has to associate with devotees, otherwise it is not possible. Therefore we have formed this Krsna consciousness society so that one may take advantage of this association
- It is not possible that everyone will understand it, but even a certain percentage of the human society can understand, immediately there is solution of so many problems - to understand aham brahmasmi, "I am Brahman " means, I am spirit soul
- It is not possible to experience Krsna by our these material blunt senses. No educational qualification, no Ph.D. degree or to take birth in very high family or to become rich. Nothing. Simply a true feeling, desire
- It is not responsible government that one poor animal, because he does not know how to give him protection, although there is government, he is taken away to the slaughterhouse. This is not government
- It is not so easy job, see the eyes from the shadow, and in this way you have to pierce. It is not so easy job
- It is not story - Krsna says, I know that you have violated your family tradition, your past regulations, everything. But I give you an assurance, if you surrender unto Me, I shall give you deliverance from the all reaction of sinful activities
- It is not that because one has taken birth in the lowest class family - svapaca, candala, dog-eaters - it does not mean that he'll have to remain in that position
- It is not that by evolutionary process if one has come to the human form of life he is not going to be degraded. If he does not believe in God consciousness, if he does not act nicely, then he is surely to degrade
- It is not that cent percent men will be trained up spiritually. But even a small percentage ideal men there are in the society, at least people will think, "Oh, here is ideal." But there is no such facility
- It is not that only human being has got the soul, not others. No. Actually if we make analysis what is the symptoms of possessing soul, you will find everywhere. Even in plants' life you will find
- It is not that practically you are experimenting by going to the sun, that it is so great and so long, so broad. That is not possible. You have to receive such knowledge through authority. That's all
- It is not that we are befooling them (the Europeans and Americans) to chant Hare Krsna and dance. No. They are feeling ecstasy. That's a fact. Not blindly they are doing. Not only in one place - hundreds of centers. Why? That is the effect of chanting
- It is not that we shall not be angry. Yes, we shall be angry, but in suitable place, where God is insulted. When a rascal is claiming that he is God and deceiving others, you must be very much angry
- It is not that, "You, you remain a sudra, mleccha, & I make you a disciple. I'll never touch you, I'll never touch your foot, and I become your guru." It is not this guru business. It is not guru business. Guru must transfer his qualities to the student
- It is not very difficult to become spiritual master. Simply you have to become very serious and sincere to the service of Krsna. Therefore Sukadeva Gosvami, variyan esa te prasnah (SB 2.1.1): Loka-hitam: It will be beneficial to the whole human society
- It is our first duty to give protection to the women, the weaker section, the woman and children

- It is the duty of the government that every citizen, never mind whether human being or animal, he may not be injured by anyone. That is responsible government

J

- Janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi-duhkha-dosanudarsanam (BG 13.9). Intelligent persons should always keep in view that, these are my real sufferings

- Just like a child has faith in his parents. So that is not an artificial thing. That is fact. And parents are trustworthy to the child - there is no doubt about it - by nature
- Just like a diseased man, so long the disease is there, he is unhappy; and as soon as the disease is cured, he will be happy. So this material disease, as soon as it is cured, one becomes happy, because he is, by constitution, spiritual being
- Just like a little student, they are learning something, but there is protection of the teacher. As soon as he commits a mistake, immediately the teacher rectifies
- Just like a man is observing Ekadasi, fasting. Another, in the hospital, he's also fasting. So these two fastings, they are different
- Just like a person who has got enough knowledge, but he does not give it to others, it is to check the flame. Such a risky civilization. The knowledge is there, and people are kept in darkness. What is this
- Just like a shadow follows the reality, similarly, the wife is the shadow of the husband. Wherever the husband goes, she must go. Whatever the husband wants, she must carry out
- Just like attraction for the opposite sex, a girl or a boy. That is natural. Nobody goes to school and colleges how to learn how to be attracted by young man, young . . . no. It doesn't require any education. The natural instinct is already there

- Just like if you have got some business with a very big man, when his representative comes, you treat him as the same person because he is authorized agent. That is natural
- Just like in a house there are two kinds of persons: the occupier and the landlord. The landlord is actually the proprietor of the house, and the tenant is occupier. Similarly, there are two souls within this body. That is stated in the Vedic literature
- Just like in a nice cage, in a golden cage, there is a bird. If you don't give any food to the bird and simply wash the cage very nicely, oh, there will be always, (imitates bird) "chi chi chi chi chi." Why? The real bird is neglected

- Just like in your necklace, pearl necklace, all the pearls are situated in the thread, similarly, Krsna is the thread, and everything existing
- Just like Krishna has no differentiation between body and soul, similarly, those who are transferred or living eternally in the spiritual sky, they haven't got also such distinction, between spirit and body

- Krsna is enjoying, but He has no attachment for all these things - either for wife or children or this building or anything. At any moment He can give up
- Krsna is everywhere, Krsna is within your heart, Krsna is within the atom. Andantara-stha-paramanu-cayantara-stham (Bs. 5.35), that's a fact, but where is your realization? Therefore you have to begin realization by arcana. That is very essential

- Krsna is the most beautiful. Radharani is the most beautiful. Couple, young couple. Our object of worship when we see how nice Radharani, how nice Krsna - beauty. Yes

- Krsna said, "Yes. Don't be agitated. I am coming, I am coming." Like that. And practically He never came back. He left at the age of 15, 16 years old, then He became engaged in fighting, being educated and marrying and becoming king and so on
- Krsna said, "You give up all this business." Mam ekam saranam vraja: "You do everything for Me. That's all. Don't utilize the assets of the world for your sense gratification, neither you give it up as mithya
- Krsna said, dehino 'smin yatha dehe kaumaram yauvanam jara, tatha dehantara-praptih (BG 2.13). Asmin dehe, there is the soul. This is the beginning of education. But there are many learned scholars, they do not believe in the soul. That is the difficulty
- Krsna said, Don't utilize the assets of the world for your sense gratification, neither you give it up as mithya. Why mithya? I've created. Why it should be mithya? Mithya means false. Whatever God has created, that is not false, everything
- Krsna says automatically if you take care of the spiritual side of your existence, the material side of your existence will be automatically taken care

- Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, annad bhavanti bhutani (BG 3.14): "If there is sufficient food grains, then both man and animal, they become happy." Therefore our first religion is to produce food grain sufficiently to feed everyone

- Krsna says that "Arjuna, you see that still, I have engaged Myself in the worldly duties." Why? Just to become the ideal man. Although He was not man, He was God

- Krsna says that "I spoke this philosophy of Bhagavad-gita to Vivasvan." Vivasvan is the name of the person who is predominating in the sun globe. We have to know from Krsna that sun globe is not vacant. When the king is there, the kingdom is also there
- Krsna says that "You have manufactured so many religious system. So you give up all these. You simply surrender unto Me." Therefore real conclusion is, real religion means to surrender unto God
- Krsna says that 'You just become My devotee. You just think of Me.' "worship Me," mam namaskuru, "offer obeisances unto Me. If you follow this principle, then," mam evaisyasi, "you come to Me." So why not sacrifice one life for Krsna consciousness?

- Krsna says, annad bhavanti bhutani (BG 3.14). Anna. Anna means food grains, eatables. You must produce sufficient food grains. Why you are producing tire tube instead of food grains
- Krsna says, bhoktaram yajna-tapasam sarva-loka-mahesvaram (BG 5.29): "I am the proprietor. I am the enjoyer." This is the Krsna's position. He never falls down that position

- Krsna says: "I am God." Mattah parataram nanyat (BG 7.7): "There is no more superior person or superior position than Me," Krsna says. And "God" means that. In the dictionary "God" means the Supreme Being. Supreme Being means nobody is greater than Him
- Krsna says: "I existed." That means Krsna existed as the Supreme Lord, not like us
- Krsna says: "The result of the tapasya enjoyer, I am." He is claiming. "The result of your tapasya should come to Me." Then you'll be satisfied

- Krsna's reputation, His strength, His beauty, His wisdom - whatever is stated in the Vedic language, they are all confirmed by when Krsna descended

- Law of gravitation . . . anything we know about gravity did not come from Vedas. Not from Veda, but it comes from Mr. Newton
- Law, religion, Vedic scripture, they are all meant for human being, not for the cats and dogs. Even ordinary law, they are meant for human being
- Leaders must be very ideal men. Then automatically the country or the society becomes nicely situated
- Legs should be engaged for preaching work going or going to the temple. Hands should be engaged for cleansing the temple. In this way, if you are engaged always your senses, you are perfect. You are the greatest yogi
- Let him chant the God's holy name, he'll see God. There is no difficult process in the Kali-yuga especially, this is a special prerogative of this age because God realization is very, very difficult for them
- Let me do my duty as servant of Krsna, and whatever necessities are required, He will arrange for them
- Let me try to become Krsna conscious. If it is done, all right. If it is not done, I shall remain in my position. What is the loss? Not like that. One must be so eager that without Krsna consciousness one should become mad
- Let me understand what is that relationship, what is God, what I am. That freedom, that open-heartedness will make it. But if I try to understand as Christian, as Englishman, as Japanese, as Indian, then it will be difficult
- Let the people be divided with four acres of land and a cow, there will be no economic question. All the factories will be closed
- Let there be one institution for training Indian youth for this Krsna consciousness movement
- Let us do our duty and chant Hare Krsna. Everything will be all right
- Let us do our duty. It is . . . we have to satisfy Krsna only. People may take advantage of it or not. It doesn't matter
- Let us do our duty. Our attempt Krsna will see
- Let us do our duty. So at any cost, I am still dictating. I'll go on dictating so long I live. That's all
- Let us make an experiment - that also we are not agreed. What is the loss? If we sit together and chant Hare Krsna, you are not losing anything. If there is some gain, why not make an experiment
- Let us study the laws of God." So jnani, karmi . . . and yogi, they are also of the same view. So karmi, jnani, yogi, and the last is bhakta
- Liberation means after quitting this body, you are no more going to accept any material body. You are immediately transferred to the spiritual world, and you get your spiritual body
- Liberation means to get out of the blazing fire of this material existence. It is simply change of consciousness, that I am thinking in so many ways. But when you think that you are eternal servant of Krsna, that is your real, constitutional position
- Life does not produce by chemical evolution. Life is from life
- Life is the symptom of the soul. Because the soul is there, therefore life is there. And as soon the soul is not there, there is no more life
- Life is this enjoyment, dancing. That is life, not meditation, "For fifteen minutes' meditation I become God." That's all. These are all rascaldom
- Like cats, dogs, birds, beasts, we have satisfied our senses in so many life. Why not regulate in one life and go back to home, back to Godhead?
- Like the pictures we have in the Bhagavatam and the Gita, then we can make them into doll displays, some of those pictures
- Lila refers to the pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Never . . . nobody says that the living entity has come in this material world for lila. At least, the Vaisnava philosophers do not agree that
- Lilavatara, under some particular circumstances, to save some particular devotee or to display some particular feature . . . just like Lord Rama, He incarnated. He is lilavatara
- Little blood required, there is no question of manufacturing. You can get it from slaughterhouse, tons. Take little drops and put it. It is blood. Where is your science, nonsense? This is practical suggestion
- Little deviation. Nature's law, they are so systematically set up that automatically . . . just like the same example I've given: you infect some disease, automatically you'll have to suffer from the disease
- Live in the village, produce your own food, your own cloth, and drink milk sufficiently - all economic questions solved. Then you become susila, well behaved
- Living being, or living entity, there are varieties, 8,400,000 varieties. There are nine hundred thousand varieties in the water, and two million varieties as trees and plants. Jalaja nava-laksani sthavara laksa-vimsati - Padma Purana
- Living entities, especially the human being, they are purusa. But actually we are not enjoyer. We are false enjoyer
- Living entities, they are in this material world in different forms. That is accepted by Krsna, sarva-yonisu kaunteya sambhavanti murtayo yah
- Living entities, they can develop by eating grains. Grains are produced by rainfall. Rainfall is made possible by offering sacrifice. And the process of sacrifice is given in authoritative scriptures like Bhagavad-gita, Bhagavata and Vedic literature
- Lord Brahma also says, sarva-karana-karanam (Bs. 5.1). So it is not that Krsna is saying only. It is accepted by the supreme Vedic authority, Lord Brahma
- Lord Buddha denied the authority of Vedas. Because people will give evidence that, You are preaching no animal-killing, but in the Vedas sometimes in sacrifice the animals are sacrificed. How you can stop this
- Lord Buddha denied the authority of Vedic ritual. Because if He accepted Vedic rituals, then He could not preach this ahimsa paramo dharma. So that is a great story
- Lord Buddha is also accepted as saktyavesa avatara, especially empowered incarnation of Krsna
- Lord Caitanya practically demonstrated Krsna consciousness yoga simply by chanting the holy names of Krsna as they were mentioned in the Vedanta, Srimad-Bhagavatam and many important Puranas

- Lord Kapila, the propounder of Sankhya philosophy, He is also accepted as incarnation of God
- Lord says: All these processes - the yoga process, the sankhya process, the ritualistic process, or studying the Vedas or undergoing severe type of penance and austerities - combined together or individually, they are not suitable for achieving Me
- Lord Siva drunk the ocean of poison, and if you drink a drop, you will die. You cannot imitate the most powerful. That is not possible
- Lord Siva is called Asutosa. So many demons go to bother him: "Give me this. Give me that." And his name is Asutosa. He gives him immediately: All right, you take it. Go away
- Lord Siva is known as Asutosa. Asutosa means very quickly, very easily he becomes pleased. That is Lord Siva's great qualification
- Lord Siva is the proprietor, or the supreme person within this material world, and he is asutosa, very easily pleased. Therefore materialistic person go to him for some material benefit, and he gives. That's all
- Lord Siva, and Lord Buddha is incarnation of Krsna. So they come for particular purpose, to benefit the whole world. But that is for the time being. That is not permanent. The permanent solution is matam ca vasudevasya
- Love is for Krsna. Even Narayana, there is no love for Him. They have got respect. You can offer respect to anyone, even you have no love. But love is different thing. That is the typical examples in Vrndavana. That is the ultimate goal of buddhi-yoga
- Love means direct contact. So they speak of love of Godhead. Just like the Christian people, they say "love of Godhead." But they have no idea who is God. So where is the question of love
- Love means two persons, there is exchange: giving something, taking something, feeding something and to eat something; and speaking everything, no secrecy
- Low-class people do not know who is God, where is God, what is His principle, why does He want to give us religion. They are so ignorant, especially in this age, they do not believe in these things at all. Very awkward position
- Lusty desire there is, and for the upkeep of the body the lusty desires may be fulfilled. But don't become lusty which is duspuram, which is never to be fulfilled

- Madhva-sampradaya, they worship Radha-Krsna. Nimbarka-sampradaya, they also worship Radha-Krsna. We Gaudiya-sampradaya, we also worship Radha and Krsna. That is the topmost spiritual realization

- Maha-bhagavata means one who can see God in everything and everything in God
- Maha-ratha means a great commander
- Maha-ratha means one fighter who can combat with thousands of men alone. As nowadays the titles are "captain," "commander," "commander-in-chief," similarly, formerly maha-ratha, ati-ratha were the title given to these soldiers, fighters
- Maha-ratha, they had good qualification. Maha-ratha means alone he could fight with many other charioteers. They are called ati-ratha, maha-ratha. There are different grades of fighters
- Mahabharata is authorized Vedic literature, & within the Mahabharata this Bhagavad-gita is there. Therefore it is Vedic literature. Unless it is authorized perfect knowledge, why Vyasadeva should put in his Mahabharata? Therefore it is perfect knowledge
- Mahabharata is Pancama-veda, the fifth Veda. Stri-sudra-dvija-bandhunam trayi na sruti-gocara (SB 1.4.25). Woman and sudra and dvija-bandhu, they cannot understand Vedic language. It is difficult. For them Vyasadeva made Mahabharata
- Mahaprabhu has taught us that to remain a fool and rascal before spiritual master is the first qualification of the disciple. Always remain a fool and rascal
- Maharaja Ambarisa. His example is there, because who can be more busy than a responsible king? He has to do so many political affairs, and still, his mind was fixed up, sa vai manah krsna-padaravindayoh (SB 9.4.18), in Krsna . . . this is required
- Maharaja Pariksit was cursed by a brahmana that he would die within seven days, and he was preparing. He was preparing himself because, "I have to meet death." But we are so forward that we do not think of our death
- Maharaja Pariksit was cursed by a brahmin boy that he would die within seven days, bitten by a snake. Just imagine how the brahminical culture was so powerful
- Maharaja Pariksit was cursed by a brahmin that he would die within seven days. So he simply heard this Srimad-Bhagavatam for seven days very seriously, and he was fully conscious of Krsna
- Maharaja Pariksit was not getting any opportunity to fight because there was no enemy with whom to fight. But as soon as he got the news that Kali has entered in the jurisdiction of his kingdom, he got the chance of fighting
- Maharaja Pariksit was so pious that, that when he was touring in his kingdom all over the world, he found one man, one black man was trying to kill one cow. Immediately, Maharaja Pariksit took his sword and wanted to kill the man. He was Kali
- Maharaja Pariksit, he was cursed by a boy brahmana that within seven days he'll be bitten by a snake and he'll die. The brahmanas were so powerful. So brahmana is not joke. In Kali-yuga there is no such brahmana
- Maharaja Pariksit, he was very pious king, and he was cursed by a brahmin boy, "You have insulted my father, so within seven days you will meet your death." So that was powerful tapa. The brahmanas were so powerful in their tapasya, austerity
- Mahatma Gandhi sacrificed everything - his family, his profession. And many other leaders. But what for they were working? They were working for some material benefit, that's all, not for any spiritual benefit. So that is not transcendental activities
- Mahatma has nothing to do with this material world. They are under the care of daivi-prakrti, spiritual world
- Mahatma has nothing to do with this material world; he is simply under the care of the transcendental prakrti
- Mahatma, those who are great souls, in their spiritual society of Krsna consciousness, by discussing about Krsna as in terms of the Vedic literature and authoritative literature, they enjoy transcendentally. This is transcendental pleasure
- Mahisasura, the most powerful demon, who was the personification of the forces of evil, His present-day followers, possessing identical qualifications, are no less enterprising and expert in exploiting the divine energy

- Man is rational animal, this is the definition. You have no rationality, therefore you are animal. What is the use of talking with you

- Manusyanam sahasresu (BG 7.3), out of many, many different varieties of men, kascid yatati siddhaye, only a few person decide to understand the philosophy of life
- Manusyanam sahasresu kascid yatati siddhaye (BG 7.3). Out of many millions and millions of persons, one is intelligent enough, he can inquire "Why I am suffering?" Everyone is suffering. That's a fact. Only the rascals, they think, We're enjoying
- Many Mayavadi philosophers or sannyasis, they give up this world as mithya, false, but after some time, they again come to this false material world for some philanthropic work, humanitarian work, because they could not get Krsna
- Many people come in our Society not in the beginning as devotee - as a matter of inquisitiveness. Then gradually he wants to become initiated. He approaches, "Kindly initiate me. Make me a disciple." Bhajana kriya. This is called bhajana-kriya
- Many people have tried to see God, but they do not succeed. That is because their purpose is not strong. That is due to maya, forgetfulness
- Many responsible government officers have given us certificate. But they could not control. But in our Krsna consciousness movement, anyone who is coming, even though coming from the LSD-addicted society, he gives up LSD or any intoxication
- Many sannyasins, they were very educated, & they have undergone severe penances, but without Krsna realization they fall down. How they fall down? Sometimes they fall down, becomes a victim of a woman. Sometimes they fall down for this philanthropic work
- Many sannyasis, they give up this world that it is mithya - all false, "Let me take to Brahman." But again they become implicated to philanthropic work, welfare activities. If this world is false, why you are attracted to the welfare activities
- Many self-realized renunciants, like the famous Sukadeva Gosvami, got a taste for knowledge of the Supreme PG after practicing their impersonal disciplines. Then they relished indescribable bliss by hearing the Supreme Lord's transcendental pastimes
- Markata-vairagya is not necessary. Real vairagya. We do not indulge in so-called sannyasi or brahmacari. If one is unable, he must become a grhastha

- Marriage is recommended in the human society. There is no marriage in cat society, dog society, hog society
- Marriage is sanctified prescription in every scripture. There were many great souls who were married. Marriage is no hindrance
- Marriage is very compulsory in Vedic system, because who is to take charge of the woman? They require protection. The father must take charge naturally, or the husband
- Mass education means it will produce undesirable elements. That's all. So the Vedic system is there must be first of all the most intelligent class of men. They should be given education how to become self-controlled
- Material advancement does not become hampered by spiritual knowledge. That is a wrong impression. Rather, if you become spiritually advanced, your material necessities will be very nicely adjusted. That is the injunction
- Material advancement of material science, people have got so many machines, facilities. But actually, they are in trouble. I gave you one example: the computer machine. It can work for thousands of men. That means the thousands of men must be unemployed
- Material contamination means desire to enjoy this material world. That is contamination. We have nothing to do with this material world. Brahma-bhutah. You are spirit
- Material disease will be cured when we develop our dormant love for Krsna. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti kaunteya (BG 4.9). Simply by understanding Krsna
- Material education means attachment education. Bhaktivinoda Thakura has said, yara vidya sa maya boyba: our attachment for this material world, it is maya, illusion. Maya-sukhaya bharam udvahato vimudhan (SB 7.9.43). Material happiness is made by maya
- Material life . . . by chance, we have come in a family or in a nation or in a community, but this will be . . . after some years it will be broken, and everybody will be thrown in the laws of nature - we do not know where - according to his karma

- Material manifestation is compared with a banyan tree whose root is upward. And that I have explained several times, how the tree can be upwards root. That means it is reflection
- Material miserable conditions are summarized into four items: birth, death, old age and disease. So those who are not in knowledge of the spirit soul, they are very irresponsibly prolonging his life in material activities
- Material opulence means to take birth in high family, janma. Janma means high parentage. Then . . . janmaisvarya, and wealthy, great riches
- Material qualities one can transcend and remain in the Brahman platform. This is the process. It is not that we shall possess this quality certain percentage, that quality certain percentage. No. Above all qualities. That should be the aim of life
- Material sound, if you chant once, twice, thrice, you will feel disgusted. But spiritual sound, if you chant twenty-four hours, you will never feel disgusted, but you will feel more and more spiritual bliss. That is the difference
- Material world is kuntha. Kuntha means anxiety, full of anxiety, and Vaikuntha means there is no anxiety; everything is freedom, sac-cid-ananda
- Material world means sex desire. So if one wants to become fit candidate for going back home, back to . . . no more sex life. That is civilization
- Materialistic persons do not know what the real problem of life is. This is due to a lack of spiritual education. Especially in the present age, every man is in darkness, in the bodily conception of life, not knowing anything of the spirit soul
- Materialistic scientists, they are simply speculating like the frog in the well. They do not know; neither they have means. But a Krsna conscious person knows. He gets information from Krsna

- Mauna means don't talk rubbish. It is better not to talk than to talk foolish. So mauna is meant for them who cannot talk about Krsna. Better stop talking. Mauna-vrata. Because he does not know Krsna, he'll talk all nonsense
- Maya cannot stand before Krsna. Maya stands behind Krsna. So if you put always Krsna, or if you are always Krsna consciousness, then maya cannot touch you
- Maya is coming to kill him, to send him to the darkest region of hell, and you are saving him, Chant Hare Krsna and be saved
- Maya is everywhere. Maya will dictate, "Oh, you are so tired. Why don't you come out and smoke a cigarette?" Yes. And he thinks he is advancing, the nonsense is advancing. No. Phalena pariciyate. By the result one has to be judged how far he has advanced
- Maya is so powerful that it induces again to commit sinful life. So we have to promise
- Maya is there, but it does not mean maya can touch you if you are actually surrendered to Krsna
- Maya means you are doing something only for nothing. That is called maya. Maya means nothing: which has no existence, phantasmagoria; which has no existence, but we accept something
- Maya, this word, it is causative. Causative means I have caused
- Mayavada philosophy and impersonalist philosophy is that they want to close their individual identity and merge into the existence of the Supreme. Now, here Lord Krsna does not advise you . . . that is a suicidal policy
- Mayavadi guru means one who thinks that everyone is God. That is Mayavadi guru. If you approach such guru, then your life is spoiled
- Mayavadi philosophers, they also accept Vyasadeva as their original spiritual master, but they have interpreted Vyasadeva's views; therefore they are not considered to be bona fide disciples
- Mayavadi philosophers, they cannot understand. They are thinking that "Why these people are taking so much trouble, dancing, jumping?" They cannot under . . . therefore they feel displeasure. They feel disturbance, because they are not purified
- Mayavadi philosophers, they take one side only, that it is one. They do not understand what is the difference, what is the different taste, varieties. They cannot understand the varieties, unity in diversity
- Mayavadi sannyasis are very proud of their Sanskrit education. Sometimes people ask our students, "Whether you have learned Sanskrit?" Krsna consciousness understanding does not depend on Sanskrit scholarship. That is the teaching of Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- Mayavadi. They want to make it zero - no crying. But we take it a great blessing, crying for Krsna
- Maybe you go by the yoga process, maybe you go by the philosophical process, maybe you go by the ritualistic process, maybe you go by penances & by study. But unless you reach to this point of KC, your attempt not failure, but there are different degrees
- Medical service is to cure the material disease, not this temporary headache and stomach ache. There are so many medical services for these things, but where is the medical service for curing bhava-roga, material disease? That is wanted
- Meditation on Visnu was possible in the golden age, or in the Satya-yuga. Satya-yuga means at that time the people used to live for one hundred thousands of years. And they were all perfect in religious life
- Members of the so-called educated class ask, If one is busy all the time rendering devotional service to Lord Krsna, how is one to maintain himself and his family
- Mercy reservoir is Krsna. But we are servant of Krsna. We have to abide by His orders. That's all. Real mercy is Krsna's

- Mira appreciated. Her life is also very excellent. Her father gave her a small Krsna doll to play, and she developed love for Krsna as husband
- Misusing the energy. We have spent ten million by power, gas, going there and coming, so many cars. Another ten million. So all these twelve million, three . . . thirteen million dollars spent for nothing. Dancing like dogs, independence, maya
- Modern astronomers? They do not know anything. They do not know what is there in the moon planet, they do not know what is there in the sun planet, in the Venus - nothing. Still they are going on, they are proud
- Modern astronomy, they have got calculation how far the moon planet is there from here, what is the distance, what is the distance between earthly planet, the sun planet. Similarly, there are hellish planets also
- Modern civilization has gone down so low that they are very much anxious. Therefore it is said, cintam aparimeyam ca - How to arrange for eating? How to arrange for sleeping? Not only for me, but for my son, for my grandson, for my great-grandson
- Modern civilization, they are giving all value to this body, all their philanthropic work, hospitalization and this, so many things
- Modern education means simply a craftsmanship. If you can prepare a nice motorcar, oh, that is advancement of the . . . And what is this? This is craftsmanship. It is the blacksmith's work. It is not knowledge

- My Guru Maharaja used to say that "Do not try to see Krsna. Render your service in such a nice way that let Krsna see you." When Krsna sees you, then your mission is perfect
- My Guru Maharaja used to say that "When you get up, you beat your mind with shoes hundred times, and when you go to the bed, you beat your mind with broomstick hundred times." Then there will be no compromise
- My Guru Maharaja used to say that there is no scarcity; this is false propaganda. The only scarcity is that there is no Krsna consciousness

- My Guru Maharaja used to say this material world is a society of cheaters and cheated. That's all. I want to be cheated because I don't accept God. If there is God, then I become responsible for my sinful life. So therefore let me deny God
- My home is back to home, back to Godhead. That is my real home. That means every temple is my home
- My original characteristic is to serve, but I am misplacing my service to somewhere else. Therefore it is said, dharmah projjhita-kaitavah atra. Kaitavah means cheating. So everyone is serving his senses, but he is thinking that he is master
- My point is that you have so many things, but the suffering is going on. You increase your means of diminishing suffering, but they are coming in a different way. So the sufferings cannot be stopped. That is not possible. This is the conclusion
- My problem is eating, sleeping, mating, so I can arrange for these things very easily. Anywhere, I till the ground and get some food. I keep some cows and I have got land, then my whole economic question is solved
- My real occupational duty to render service to others, that cannot be changed. That is the real enunciation of religion. And therefore in the Vedic system it is called sanatana-dharma
- My request to you all boys, that you try to understand and . . . you understand or not understand, it is a standard method. Try to induce people to chant Hare Krsna. They will be happy
- My senses are there. They will act. They'll act for simply to serve Krsna. That is wanted. So that can be possible when you are trained up by the servant of Krsna. Otherwise it is not possible
- My statement may be defective, but Caitanya Mahaprabhu's statement cannot be defective, because He is in the transcendental platform. He is transcendence Himself. Krsna-caitanya-namne. Krsnaya krsna-caitanya-namine (CC Madhya 19.53). He's Krsna Himself
N
- Na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). We do not die after destruction of this body. This is the preliminary instruction to understand Vedic knowledge, or spiritual knowledge
- Na tasya sama. Sama means equal; adhikasya, or greater. That means everyone subordinate. Everyone subordinate. Everyone is lower than God. He may be very powerful, but nobody can be equal or greater than God. That is the Vedic information
- Naisthika-brahmacari. But if he's unable, then he's allowed to marry. That is called grhastha life, householder life. Because between twenty-five years to fifty years, this is the youthful time, so his lusty desires are very strong
- Narada advised him that "You have written so many books: Puranas, Vedas, Vedanta." But Vyasadeva said, "Still I am not feeling very satisfied." So Narada Muni advised that, You are not feeling satisfied because you have not described about the Supreme PG
- Narada Muni advised Vyasadeva that "You are not feeling satisfied because you have not described about Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is the defect. Now you have got mature experience, you describe simply about SPG, Krsna." Therefore he wrote SB
- Narada Muni is traveling all over the universe. He's going to hell, heaven, everywhere, and trying to make disciples who can become Krsna's devotee. He does not stay anywhere for more than 3 minutes, like that. He's traveling always. This is sama-cittah
- Narada Muni said, "Even by sentiments one gives up his occupational duty, & surrenders to Krsna, even not understanding fully . . ." So sastra says, "What is the loss there?" And if one is performing his material duties very perfectly, then what is gain
- Narada Muni was accused by Prajapati Daksa that, You are traveling in the dress of a sadhu, but you are the most sinful man. You have turned my sons in the renounced order of life to become beggar, without any advancement, without any enjoyment
- Narayana is in the dog, therefore I have to worship dog. This is going on
- Narayana parayana means they're always ready to abide by the orders of Narayana
- Narayana, He is so great authority that His words are accepted as Vedic truth, and He has become daridra? These are all demonic declaration
- Narayana-parah sarve na kutascana bibhyati(SB 6.17.28). This is the sign of pure devotee. Others, they are afraid of the fierceful appearance of Narasimha-deva, but Prahlada Maharaja says that, "I am not afraid." He was a child of five years old
- Narayana-paranmukha and narayana-parayana - just the opposite. One is Narayana, attached to Narayana, and one is detached to Narayana. So Narayana detached cannot be purified simply by performing or executing the ritualistic ceremony
- Narayana-parayana means my life is now dedicated for Narayana. Narayana, Krsna, Visnu, they're the same. So that is qualification
- Narayana-parayanah means devotees. Narayana-para: one who has taken Narayana as the ultimate goal of life
- Narottama dasa Thakura said, chadiya vaisnava-seva, nistara payeche keba: Without serving Vaisnava, who has got liberation? Nobody has
- Narottama dasa Thakura said, janame janame mora ei abhilas. Our . . . we are . . . ambition should be how to serve Krsna through the disciplic succession, guru, and live in the association of devotees. This is the process
- Narottama dasa Thakura says that "I have to serve the gurus, Sanatana Gosvami, Rupa Gosvami, and live in the association of devotees." Tandera carana-sevi bhakta-sane vas
- Narottama dasa Thakura says, ei chay gosai jar tar mui dasa: I become servant, servant or disciple, of such a person who follows the footprints of the six Gosvamis
- Narottama dasa Thakura sings, hari hari biphale janama gonainu: "My Lord, I have simply wasted my life." Why? I got this human form of body for understanding, worshiping Radha-Krsna. Now, I did not do anything. That means knowingly I have taken poison
- Narottama Dasa Thakura, who has sung this hari hari biphale janama gonainu, he's a famous acarya. His compositions are accepted as Vedic truth
- Nasato vidyate bhavah. Asatah, or this material body, it has no endurance. It will not endure; it will not be permanently existing. Nabhavo vidyate satah: And the soul is permanent. He . . . it has no change; it will never be nonexistent
- Natural conclusion is when there are so many varieties of life in our presence, and they are, although in the same place, they haven't got the same facility, so there must be somebody who decides on this point. So how you can deny God
- Natural instinct for sex life, for meat-eating and for drinking. This is natural instinct. But they are restrained. They are co-ordinated by the Vedic injunction
- Natural instinct, spiritual natural instinct, can be attained by tapasya. Tapo divyam. That is the instruction of Rsabhadeva
- Naturally a child, he thinks, "I am safe now with my mother." But the Kali-yuga is so cruel that even with mother you are not safe. And still you say it is a place of happiness? This is called illusion. It is not place
- Naturally He's beautiful (Kapiladeva), and when He smiled, being very much pleased with the question of mother, He became very much beautiful
- Nature gives us the chance. So either you take the Biblical truth or Vedic truth . . . So this is . . . The human form is given to us. Now you make your choice: whether you are going to hell or you are going to heaven
- Nature has nothing to do. It will automatically follow. Just like you infect some disease, nature's law is that you must suffer from that disease. Nobody has got to do anything
- Nature is like police force, this material nature. As soon as you become irreligious, making friendship with Kali and his friends, then you will be punished
- Nature's law is like that. If you take more food than you can digest . . . then immediately there will be dysentery. This is nature's law
- Nature's law is so perfect. Daivi hy esa gunamayi mama maya duratyaya (BG 7.14). You cannot escape. Suppose you can eat two ounce, and if you eat four ounce, then you have to starve three days. This is the law
- Nature's law is so strict, a little deviation will put you into suffering. This is going on. That is Yamaraja. And if you violate more and more and more, then you suffer more and more and more. This is the law. You cannot escape. So that is fixed up
- Nature's work is going on so nicely there is no necessity of phoning Yamaduta. They will come. But this rascal civilization do not know this, how things are going on
- Nawab Hussain Shah entrusted the whole kingdom in Sanatana Gosvami's hand, "You manage, whatever you like." Because he knew that, Here is a trustworthy man. He'll do very nicely
- Neither the execution of social responsibilities nor philanthropic work is ultimately good action. Devotional service to the Supreme Lord, which is beyond the three modes, must be accepted as the only good action
- Never mind what is your position. Krsna will accept you and give you all comfort. Even if you are kicked up, you are a prostitute, Krsna will give you protection. So why we should not take shelter of Krsna? This is very natural conclusion
- Never mind whether he is following a principle of philosophical research, whether he is following the yogic principle or whether he is following philanthropic work or political leadership, but the whole thing is targeted toward Krsna
- Next life is there. Only the rascals, they cannot understand. It is very simple. Next life is there. Tatha dehantara-praptih (BG 2.13). There is no doubt about it
- Next life you can prepare in this life, where you want to go. If you go, want to go to the higher planetary systems, you can go. Yanti deva-vrata devan pitrn yanti
- Nidrahara-viharakadi-vijitau, to conquer over sleeping, eating and mating. And coming to Vrndavana, if we indulge in that way, then what is the use of coming to Vrndavana? Go to hell and live there. So Vrndavana life is that
- Nija-bhakti-yoga. He (Caitanya) is teaching surrendering to Krsna, just like we are teaching. We are . . . what we are teaching? Surrender to Krsna. This is our mission; we have no other mission
- Nirbandhini, strong desire. It doesn't require any other price to become advanced in . . . simply to become very strongly eager, laulyam. Then life is successful
- Nirguna means bhakti. Sa gunan samatityaitan (BG 14.26). That is nirguna. When you are untouched by the three gunas, then you are nirguna. That is not very easy job
- Nirmala means without any dirt, cleansed completely, crystal clear. That is required. Senses will be there, mind will be there, intelligence will be there, I'll be there - everything will be there, but we have to cleanse the desire, purify the desires
- Nirvana means void of material existence. Impersonal conception is also nirvana. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu said that this impersonal philosophy is another phase of the void philosophy. Covered void philosophy. Impersonalism is covered void philosophy
- Nirvisesa-sunyavadi. Nirvisesa means without any varieties, and sunyavadi means zero, voidist. So two kinds of Mayavadis, generally headed by Sankara philosophy and Buddha philosophy
- Nitya means eternal. And cetana means living entity. So nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam. This is the description of God, that God is also a living entity like you and me
- Nityah sasvato 'yam na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). That is spiritual world. So that spiritual world, we have no information, but we have got little experience. Spiritual world means complete peaceful, santi
- Nityananda prabhu is visnu-tattva, and similarly Advaita prabhu is visnu-tattva, and according to some opinions, he is between jiva and visnu-tattva. Srivasa is jiva-tattva, and sakti-tattva. So, they are called panca-tattva, the five eminent
- Nivrtti means one who has ceased all material activities. He has practically nothing to do with this material world, and still it is said, kasya va brhatim etam
- Niyama means regulation. We have to follow the rules and regulation. That is compulsory. That is human
- No desire does not mean no desire for serving Krsna. That is real desire. Other desires are artificial. That is material. But the desire to . . . that is called Krsna consciousness. When all our desires are for serving Krsna
- No extraneous effort is required for the maintenance of the universe. It's at its own time, fixed up by the energy of the complete whole, and when the time is complete, these temporary manifestations will be annihilated by the complete arrangement
- No history can trace out the origin of Krsna consciousness because the living entities, they are eternal. The bodily concept of life is not correct. Nobody dies, nobody takes birth. Everyone is eternal
- No illicit sex, no meat-eating, no intoxication, no gambling. If you take it as a fashion, that is another thing. But if you take it seriously, to progress, then these things should be done. This is the basic principle of spiritual progress
- No illicit sex, no. . . This is the method, and chanting is the process. Then you will remain strong. And if you neglect, then you become weak
- No knowledge of the spiritual life, no knowledge how the soul is transmigrating from one body to another, no knowledge what is the future, no knowledge what is the goal of life. Simply like cats and dogs you dance, eat, drink, be merry and die
- No memory, no sympathy, no long duration of life, no bodily strength, no education. This is the symptoms of Kali-yuga. Therefore the only means is harer nama harer nama harer nama
- No one is working as a paid servant so if the dealings are not friendly everyone will decide to leave
- No physician can stop disease. He can suggest, "This is very nice medicine," but my problem is, "Why shall I become diseased?" That is my problem
- No raw material you can manufacture. Raw material has to be taken from God's stock
- No religious system in this world has got any clear conception of God. But in this Krsna consciousness movement, it is not actually a so-called religious movement, but it is an educational movement to give information to the human society about God
- No, "Do not trust" means you are also not trustworthy. Nobody trusts you, and you should also not. That is their philosophy
- Nobody can be religious unless he is situated in the modes of goodness. A passionate person or a person in ignorance, they cannot be elevated to the religious platform. Religious platform means in goodness. Then you can understand
- Nobody can be stronger than God, nobody can be wiser than God, nobody can be more beautiful than God, and nobody can be more renouncer than God
- Nobody can become a spiritual master who has no reference to the scriptures and these qualities. Nobody can be accepted as a qualified man, he has not . . . if one has not developed his character through the scripture under the instruction of guru
- Nobody can compete with God in richness. That is one qualification of God
- Nobody can do any harm to anyone. Everything is going on, nature's law. But you are doing yourself harm for your interest. You are such a fool
- Nobody can enjoy in this material world. That is not possible. They are simply suffering. But illusion, due to lack of knowledge, they are accepting
- Nobody can say that, "I am not controlled." Everyone is controlled. That is a fact
- Nobody can trace out the history when we, the conditioned soul, accepted this material body. And deha-bhajam means that anyone who has accepted this material body. Not only we . . . there are 8,400,000 different forms of living entities
- Nobody cannot create any doubts, Swamiji, as long as you are establishing the equality of man in the eyes of God
- Nobody cares for the stars, but everyone is waiting for the full moon. That is wanted. Now try to make full moon, not stars. So this is our policy. So therefore somebody may disagree. We don't mind. Still we want there must be moon, not the stars
- Nobody discloses his secrets before enemy, but a brahmin, if he, even he finds out a enemy, he will disclose all the secrets. He has no secret. brahmin means open-minded, liberal
- Nobody has got clear conception of God; neither they do not know what is the meaning of trust under the circumstances. So you have to learn it scientifically. And our propaganda is like that, to teach actually what is God and what is trust
- Nobody is absolutely controller. He's controlled by the laws of nature
- Nobody is allowed to study law unless he is a graduate of the degree college. At least in India that is the law
- Nobody is going to inquire whether he is actually a Brahmin. As soon as one sees that sacred thread: "Oh, he's a Brahmin." That's all. So this is the, another symptom of Kali-yuga, that simply by two-cent-worth sacred thread one becomes a Brahmin
- Nobody is interested in Krsna consciousness movement, they are simply interested with these things - the association of wife, family, children, motorcar, house, bed, furniture
- Nobody is perfect except Krsna. Or one who follows Krsna, he is perfect
- Nobody is perfect in the modern civilization, not even honest. In spite of education, so much learning . . . I have given this example many times. This is tested in the airport, that everyone is examined about his dishonest. That means nobody is honest
- Nobody is perfect, and without being perfect, if we hear from somebody who is not perfect, it is simply waste of time. And that is the symptoms of Kali-yuga
- Nobody is thinking that "I am increasing the requisites of the body, but I am not this body; I am soul. What is the requisition of the soul?" they have forgotten. Real interest they have forgotten
- Nobody likes to die, but nature will force you to become dead. Nobody wants to become old man, but nature will force you to become old man. Nobody wants to suffer from diseases, but nature will force you to suffer from diseases. These are the problems
- Nobody should hesitate. Prahlada Maharaja is giving us this assurance, that to serve Krsna, there is no question of hesitation
- Nobody spoke about love between Radha and Krsna. This is the unnatojjvala, very highly elevated spiritual affairs. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu disclosed this
- Nobody's satisfied. There is always disruption. In this moment, I am your friend. Next moment, I am your enemy. This moment, I am your husband or wife. Next moment, no. "Don't see my face. I'll not see your face." Divorce. So these things are going on
- Not a single Jain up till now has become perfectly in the renounced order of life. So they say so. It was imitated by one king in the South India, and he is the originator, propounder of the Jainism. They say. But you cannot imitate Rsabhadeva
- Not by force one can become first class. According to the sastra, who is first class, who is second class, who is third class, who is fourth class, who is fifth class, that is to be understood. Guna-karma-vibhagasah
- Not great power, but greatest power. Nobody is greater than Him. That is accepted by the direct listener of Bhagavad-gita, Arjuna. And he is giving evidences of Vyasadeva, Asita, Devala, Narada - they are authorities
- Not only Caitanya Mahaprabhu, but all His disciples. This is our process. Feeling seperation from Krsna, and to become mad after Krsna. This is perfection. Always feeling separation for Krsna
- Not only does the person who serves the Supreme Lord serve his relatives, but he also serves the entire world of moving and nonmoving living beings. Thus service to Lord Krsna is the prime cause of world peace and harmony
- Not only water in this planet, but there are millions and trillions of Pacific Ocean bigger than that in other planets
- Not that because you have got tendency, you have to increase it. That is not human civilization. Human civilization means we have got so many animal propensities, and if we can control them, that is advancement of human civilization
- Not that one mistake has been done, you should continue. Rectify it. The difficulty is the modern society, the leaders, they do not know the aim of life. They are blindly doing everything like animals
- Not that somebody will come to ask you that "You have infected this disease. Now you have to suffer from this." No. The machine is so perfect that as you have infected this disease . . . this is practically we know
- Not that you make a disciple and you keep him aside, "You cannot touch." This is going on. How? Then how he has become your disciple? If you have accepted him as disciple, how you can keep him aloof? No
- Not to borrow the ideas from the cities in the village life; poet Cooper said that country is made by God, and the cities and towns are made by man
- Not vultures; it is called hog civilization. The hog, they eat anything and they have sex with anyone
- Nothing belongs to you. The fruit is God's. The flower is God's. You are God's. Simply you have to change your consciousness. This is Krsna consciousness
- Nothing will be finished. God's resources are unlimited. But they will be finished. Making research, research, they will be finished. God's resources will not be finished, but they will be finished. Unnecessarily they have created necessities of life
- Now big, big cities, they have got big, big Olympian sporting, but no yajna performance. So why there shall not be scarcity of rain? And as soon as there is scarcity of rain, there is scarcity of food grains
- Now I have got good intelligence, better than the animals. If I utilize that intelligence for simply having nice motorcar and skyscraper building, but I do not know what is my future, then it is not very good intelligence
- Now it is not required the bows and arrows or . . . because they're already dead, because they have no conception of God. Simply fighting how to avoid God, this is their business
- Now the farmers, the father is working on the farm, and the sons, they do not come. They live in the city. This is the tendency all over the world. They are not producing food grain. Therefore there is scarcity
- Now to speak the truth, all the students who have come to me, they are spoiled; simply saved by Krsna consciousness. Do you agree to that?
- Now we are getting milk powder, but there will be no milk. It is not my imagination. They are described in the symptoms of Kali-yuga, that the end of Kali-yuga these things will happen. That means more and more suffering
- Now we are world organization. There is spiritual side, and there is material side also
- Now we are world organization. There is spiritual side, and there is material side also. That is not material side. That is also spiritual side, means systematic management. Otherwise how it will be done
- Now you try to manage the whole world organization, and all GBC men. Suppose I am not there. Manage very nicely, independently. Not to create havoc, but really to manage
- Now, harim asrayeta: "Just take shelter of Krsna." Instead of taking shelter of these lusty desires, you take shelter of Krsna. Then your life is successful
- Nowadays it is going on if you know some art, technology, then you are educated. This is not education. Education means culture
- Nowadays people are suffering for want of sufficient food grains, and in the yajna tons and thousands of mounds of food grains are offered in the fire. That is good. But there is no food grains, there is no ghee. That is not possible in this age
- Nowadays the education is that nobody can live independently. Higher education means if he does not get a suitable service, then it is useless
- Nowadays we send our boys to school, college, for being trained up as a technician, formerly the boys were sent for education. . . These are the effects of education
- Nrsimha-deva - one thing for Hiranyakasipu, one thing for Prahlada. That is not God's discrimination, that is natural. Krsna says: samo 'ham sarva-bhutesu (BG 9.29): "I am equal to everyone." Otherwise, if He's not equal to everyone, how He can be God?
O
- Of course, any demon killed by Krsna, he also gets salvation. But if the demon also gets salvation being killed, but just imagine what is the position of devotee to whom Krsna is so affectionate. Just imagine what is his position
- Of course, he should not be foolish, that "God is giving me everything without asking, so why should I bother God, asking?" That is advanced devotion. Therefore pure devotee, they do not ask anything from God. They simply want to give service
- Of course, I am traveling all over the world. It may not be possible for me to see you very frequently. But I expect to come again and again. But I entrust the matter to you all. I'll send help also as far as possible
- Offensive chanting may give you material pains and pleasure, and almost offenseless will give you liberation, will place you in the transcendental platform. And when it is offenseless, then immediately you'll invoke love of God, krsna-prema
- Oh, you are eating, give me something." "All right, you also take." So this is called extended interest, and the beginning is self-interest, anna brahman, Self-preservation is the first law of nature
- Old man means my body is different - old body. Your body is different. So Krsna giving this very nice example: As the baby is changed into a boy, a boy is changed into a youth, a youth is changed into old man, so this changing is going on
- On account of activity of yogamaya, the day on which Brahma stolen, and they could not understand how yogamaya was working
- On account of different consciousness, there are three classes of men. One class of men is very intelligent; one class of men, very passionate; and one class of men, fools and rascals
- On account of neglect of the deity worship so many dirty-hearted persons have left. They had to leave. Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not want them to stay. This is the formula
- On account of this dirty position of material contamination, we cannot accept Krsna as the real friend. Therefore we cannot get santi
- On account of this following the traditionalism, they are becoming devotees. It is practical, you can see. Simply theoretical knowledge will not do. Must be practiced
- On behalf of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, it is our duty to save these living entities who are parts and parcel of Krsna from misguided illusion by the influence of maya
- On the fourth floor we're going to have doll projects, doll exhibits. So there's an open balcony up there, and I want to do something like that
- On the top stage there is no such thing as demon and devotee. The top stage, the devotee sees, "Everyone is engaged in Krsna's service. Simply I am not engaged." This is topmost devotee's vision, that, I am lacking Krsna's devotion
- Once a person comes into contact with any one of the above-mentioned energies of the Lord through the proper channel of devotional service, the door of perfection is immediately opened
- Once the mirror of the mind is purified and the blazing fire of material existence extinguished, constant and unalloyed devotion to Lord Krsna begins to appear on the horizon of the heart
- One animal is being slaughtered; the other animal is seeing. Because he has no knowledge, the next turn is he . . . being slaughtered, but he is chewing some grass. He is thinking that, I am happy. Next moment it will be slaughtered, but he does not know
- One big chemist, he came there (in California) to lecture the chemical evolution, by mixing of chemical life has come into existence. So there was one student, he is my disciple, Dr. Svarupa Damodara, he said that . . .first-class cheater, that's all
- One big professor came to lecture on chemical evolution, and he challenged immediately, that "If I give you the chemicals, can you produce life?" He said, "That I cannot say." (chuckles) So this is their position
- One bird is eating the fruit of the tree, and the other bird is witnessing. That witnessing bird is Krsna, and the eating bird is myself. I am eating, I am enjoying the fruits of my work in this material world, and Krsna is simply observing
- One body is in need of food; another body is in need of something else. They're needy, everyone needy. That you have to accept
- One can become immediately Krsna conscious within a second, and one cannot become KC after many, many births. So it is relative. If you have got sufficient intelligence, you can accept it immediately. If there is less intelligence, then it will take time
- One can do harm to this material body, but not to the spirit soul and consciousness. Vinasam avyaya. Avyaya means which is never deteriorates. Vinasam avyayasya asya na kascit kartum arhati. Nobody can kill consciousness; nobody can kill the soul
- One can understand himself by the simple process by chanting the holy name of the Lord. That is special gift of Lord Caitanya. He said that if you chant this Hare Krsna mantra, then automatically everything will be revealed unto you
- One can understand Srimad-Bhagavatam in true perspective, then he's to be understood that he has finished his all educational advancement
- One cannot be krsnarpita pranah, one cannot dedicate his life to Krsna, unless he has gotten the mercy of spiritual master. This is the way. You cannot get directly. That is not possible
- One cannot become Narayana, but everyone is part and parcel of Narayana; or in quality, the Narayana quality is there. Not that the supreme Narayana. That is not possible. Part cannot be equal to the whole
- One cannot giving up smoking or drinking, but actually, if he takes to devotional service, he can very easily give up. There are so many examples. It is not story. So if there is bhajana-kriya sincerely, then the anartha-nivrtti automatically becomes
- One devotee, he becomes father of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and any devotee who is attached to the lotus feet of the Lord, all kinds of success are engaged in his service
- One example can be given: just like in diseased condition, actually there is no enjoyment, but still, the doctors gives some diet: "You eat this." But he does not enjoy. Eating enjoyment is in healthy life, not in diseased condition
- One gentleman has written one book, Chemical Evolution. They think that chemical combination is the cause of life
- One great stalwart acarya of India, Sankaracarya, whose name you might have heard, he says, "Narayana, God, the Supreme Lord, He is beyond this creation. He's not one of the created beings." You try to understand
- One has got sufficient energy, intelligence, he is utilizing, he is becoming Rockefeller, Ford or Birla, or something like that. Another man, he has got energy, he cannot utilize his energy; he remains a poor man. It is all question of energy
- One has to be judged by the result. You have worked very hard and supposed to be very rich man, but if I see that you have no nice apartment, neither any car, neither any opulence, so what kind of businessman you have earned
- One has to become intelligent, dhira. For spiritual understanding we have to create the favorable circumstances
- One has to elevate himself to the highest platform by tapasa brahmacaryena, samena, damena, tyagena, saucena (SB 6.1.13). These are the sastric injunctions
- One has to fix his faith staunchly in the bona fide guru. So if one has got bona fide guru, and if he follows that bona fide guru, then his life is success
- One has to hear. It is not very difficult. But people have become so rascal, so foolish, they will not hear. We are requesting. We have not manufactured anything. It is all authorized, authorized books, Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavata, Vedic literature
- One has to learn the art of seeing the Absolute Truth in three features - as Bhagavan, as Paramatma and as impersonal Brahman
- One has to learn the philosophy of life from the person superior, spiritual master. Tad-vijnanartham sa gurum evabhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). Do not remain puffed-up, that "I am all-learned, I know everything." That is false
- One has to learn very cautiously how, what is the purpose of why Lord Buddha came, why Lord Siva and Sankaracarya came, why other acaryas came, why Caitanya Mahaprabhu came. It requires thorough study under able guidance. Then one can understand
- One has to make his life perfect by receiving Vedic knowledge through the right source, and distribute the knowledge. It is not very difficult. So that is the injunction of Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- One has to realize that "I am not this body." Kevalam prakrteh param. "I am beyond this body, far, transcendental to this material world
- One has to see light inside and outside. That is real light. If the light is checked by some material condition, that is not absolute light. That is electric light
- One has to sit nicely in a secluded place, in a sanctified place, and sit straight, with your neck, head and body in one straight line. Then you have to see the tip of your nose without closing your eyes and not opening your eyes
- One has to take shelter of the lotus feet of Krsna. Vanam gato yad dharim asraya. Therefore Krsna has made this Vrndavana. Anyone goes there, he gets shelter of Krsna's lotus feet, and his life becomes successful
- One increases the attraction for Krsna, they will never be happy. simply changing attraction on the material platform under different names, that will be failure
- One is living very condemned life; still, he's thinking, "I am very happy," or "We are all right." That is called avaranatmika, covered. Real knowledge is covered

- One mundane scholar came, and he approached Rupa Gosvami and said, I want to test you, if I can defeat you, then I will be renowned. So there is no question of talking, because Rupa Gosvami saw, What is the use of talking with this rascal?

- One who accepts this body as the self is in the line of the animals. The animals . . . the dogs are thinking, "I am dog," and he's barking. So similarly, if I think, "I am Indian," "I am American," where is the difference between the dog and me?

- One who is not liberated, one who is under the stringent laws of material nature; he is called conditioned soul - he cannot give us perfect knowledge

- One who is sane person, he knows that, "I may be first-class prisoner, but that does not mean I am not prisoner. I am prisoner." The suffering of the prison house, that I have no independence to do anything, that is prison life
- One who is situated in such transcendental position of mind, then, ihaiva tair jitah sargah, then in this very body he has conquered rebirth
- One who is sober, one is advanced, he will little tolerate that itching sensation and be happy. Because this is not my necessity. This is only of the skin. This is my skin disease. Now I am not the skin. I am soul. My duty is how to serve Krsna
- One who is trained up for controlling the mind, controlling the senses, very clean, truthful, tolerant, simplicity, full of knowledge, practical application of knowledge in life, and full faith in God. This is first-class man
- One who is unable to become a brahmin, let him become ksatriya. If he cannot become ksatriya, let him become a vaisya. Otherwise let him remain a sudra. But there should be ideal class, brahmin. So we are trying to create an ideal society of brahmin
- One who is under the control of the senses, he is go-dasa. Go means senses, and dasa means servant. And one who is master of the senses, he's gosvami

- One, if he is firmly fixed-up, "Yes, by surrendering to Krsna I get all perfection of life," that is called sraddha. That is called sraddha
- Only persons who are joining this movement, they are intelligent, and others are not intelligent? that is our challenge. Now you can defend on behalf of those who do not accept this proposal. This is my challenge. It is very intelligent question
- Only through devotion, submission, surrender you can understand Krsna, not by your so-called scholarship or research work
- Ordinarily, you can steal and hide yourself, but in the eyes of God, you cannot steal and hide yourself. That is not possible. You have stolen; you must suffer
- Ordinary person with some academic career, they think they are very learned, they can comment on Bhagavad-gita. Oh, that is not possible
- Origin of earth is life. It is very simple to understand. Just like your body. Your body is . . . or why your body? Take the tree. Tree is matter; it is earth. Wherefrom the big tree comes? From the life within the seed
- Original idea of philosophy is practically demonstrated by Krsna. The ideal, original ideal of religion and philosophy is preached by Krsna. And all the acaryas followed that
- Originally the order is from Krsna. Comes by disciplic succession. Just like Krsna said this knowledge to Arjuna, and Arjuna said to others. And it is open. Everyone can take it; there is no secrecy. We have to accept only, that's all
- Originally you are good. You have become bad on account of the material association. Therefore devotion means to be purified. This is a purificatory process from material contamination
- Other humanitarian or welfare societies are trying to give some patchwork. They cannot give relief to the stringent laws of nature: birth, death, old age and disease. But we are giving the final cure of the disease of condition of material existence
- Our aim should be how to go back to home, back to Godhead. That is the real mission of human life
- Our characteristic is that we are eternal servant of God. When we forget this characteristic, that this is my original characteristic, that is adharma
- Our conclusion is anyone who is not Krsna conscious, he is a rascal. That's all. He may be my teacher or father or anyone. He is a rascal. That is stated in Bhagavata, pita na sa syaj janani na sa syat, gurur na sa syat, na mocayed yah samupeta-mrtyum
- Our constitutional position is we have to take shelter of somebody. Just like the dog. The dog, if he has no shelter, a good master, he has no position. Street dog
- Our cultivation of knowledge, advancement of civilization, should be on the basis of solving the main problems, janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi, not the temporary problem
- Our devotees all over the world - there are a 102 centers - they are simply engaged in Krsna consciousness. This is our propaganda
- Our disease is that we have forgotten God. The more we are forgetful about God, the more we are animals. And the more we become advanced in understanding God, Krsna consciousness, then we are human being
- Our duty is that we shall arrange the external affairs all so nicely that one day they will come to the spiritual platform very easily, paving the way. And Caitanya Mahaprabhu, personality like that
- Our duty is that we shall arrange the external affairs all so nicely that one day they will come to the spiritual platform very easily, paving the way. And Caitanya Mahaprabhu, personality like that, they have nothing to do with this material world
- Our duty should be just to get rid of all miseries by developing that spiritual body. That should be the aim of life. And that is possible by Krsna consciousness
- Our entire activity should be executed in Krsna consciousness to revive our lost relationship with Krsna. We do not prohibit anyone to cease from the present occupational duties, but we simply recommend that he execute such duties in Krsna consciousness
- Our first attention should be how this movement can go on. So nice character, so nice behavior, so nice knowledge, so nice consciousness of God, so pure, and the government has no attention. They are thinking it is something sentimental
- Our folly is that we are trying to study Krsna, or God, by our own standard, frog standard. We do not know how great Krsna is, how His potency is great, how He is manufacturing
- Our government has got planning commission. The planning commission has brought people in such a condition that they are dying of starvation. And they are taking salary, big, big, fat salary. This is going on
- Our grhastha is not condemned, but provided he is right grhastha
- Our gurukula should be ideal. Not all these boys . . . you should take care of these things from the very beginning - if we want actually spiritual life. If we want to progress like animals, that is different thing, as the whole world is doing
- Our knowledge is from Krsna. We accept that this body is dead because the soul has passed to another body. This is perfect knowledge
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is the authorized process by which you can understand Krsna, the Supreme Lord. By other methods it is not possible
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is to bring some men on the platform of goodness. The world requires it now. You are being trained up to become qualified brahmins. So be always careful that you may not contact the quality of passion and ignorance
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is to request you to read this Bhagavad-gita as it is. Do not try to comment upon it indigenally
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is very nice. You can understand what is what. Yes. That is knowledge
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is: we don’t stop activities. Don't think that we are creating some lazy fellow. No. We have got our activities. Just like our activities, this propagation of Krsna consciousness, so we are using everything
- Our Krsna consciousness movement means that we are preaching this cult: harer nama harer nama harer namaiva kevalam/ kalau nasty eva nasty eva nasty eva gatir anyatha. Without this, there is no other way of saving you from the contamination of Kali
- Our Krsna consciousness movement means that we are presenting Bhagavad-gita as it is, and in a practical way. Just like we are recommending the members of the Society to chant Hare Krsna. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita
- Our Krsna consciousness movement, is for this purpose, to see the Absolute Truth, to understand the Absolute Truth, to know the problems of life and how to make a solution. These things are our subject matter
- Our Krsna consciousness movement, we accept what is eaten by Krsna. So Krsna wants these things: fruits, flower, vegetable, grains, milk. So we offer them and eat
- Our Krsna consciousness view is that everything created by God is not mithya; it is fact. Everything is fact. We don't say unnecessarily, "This is mithya. This is false." Why it is false? God is truth. If He has created anything, that is also truth
- Our life is sacrificed for teaching, and that teaching means one should behave himself nicely
- Our life prolongs by eating grains. So annad bhavanti bhutani parjanyad anna-sambhavah. And grains are produced by proper rainfall. Rainfall is the main source of producing everything of our necessities of life
- Our life should be that whatever Krsna says. That is full surrender. Or His representative says, that is my life
- Our loving affair begins from personal self to family, from family to society, community, nation, international. But still, it is imperfect unless the circle reaches to the lotus feet of God. Then it is satisfied. Svamin krtartho 'smi varam na yace
- Our method is directly to connect you. That is the special gift of Lord Caitanya - immediately to contact him with Krsna. Because ultimately you have to come to that point, Krsna consciousness
- Our mission is not to keep men in darkness. They should not remain in that way. They should come to the real light. This is our policy
- Our mission is that Indians especially, they should take advantage of Bhagavad-gita - not by distorting the meaning. As it is. You cannot distort the statement of Bhagavad-gita. Then you defy the authority
- Our movement is based on this Bhagavad-gita, the authorized book of knowledge, and approved by big acaryas in India - Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Lord Caitanya. So you are all responsible representative of papers. Try to understand this movement
- Our movement is to preach the Bhagavad-gita as it is and to bring the Supreme Controller before you, and to carry out the order of the Supreme Controller
- Our movement's name is Krsna consciousness. Whatever Krsna says, you accept and preach, you become guru
- Our other business is how to become fit for going back to home, back to Godhead. That is our real business. This is temporary business, because we have got some bodily relation
- Our point is: just try to study this life, how much painful it is. This is human body, what to speak of dog's body, cat's body? You study very minutely, you'll find, from the beginning of life in the womb of my mother up to death point, simply miseries
- Our position is dog. We must understand it. We cannot live independently. It is not possible. Every living being. Therefore in the Vedic injunction is nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam eko yo bahunam vidadhati kaman
- Our position is that we are above varnasrama. But for management or ideal society, we are introducing this. We, so far we are concerned, Krsna conscious men, we are above varnasrama
- Our present senses are blunt senses because it is covered by forgetfulness of Krsna, or maya. Therefore it has to be purified. Or the nature of forgetfulness has to be removed. That's all
- Our present senses, are blunt senses. By these senses, we cannot understand what is the meaning of Hare Krsna maha-mantra. But it is so powerful, if you go on chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra even without understanding, you will be purified
- Our Prime Minister, she is woman, but because she is powerful, we are attracted. So the points of attractions are discussed by Parasara Muni as bhaga. Bhaga means opulence. So when one is very rich, he is opulent. One is very powerful, he is attractive
- Our principle is that Krsna should be accepted as the leader, because Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, mattah parataram nanyat kincid asti dhananjaya (BG 7.7). Krsna is the supreme leader
- Our process (of Krsna consciousness movement) is very scientific, authorized, and if anyone takes to it he'll realize gradually, and he'll be elevated. There is no doubt about it
- Our process is purification. Krsna consciousness means simply we are purifying our consciousness
- Our process is to accept both the lines of bhagwat marga and pancharatriki marga. Perhaps you might have seen the picture of the Gaudiya mission. On one side there is the bhagwat book and on the other side a picture of Laxmi Narayana for Deity worship
- Our process is to know things from the sastra. Sadhu-sastra-guru-vakya tinete kariya aikya. We take knowledge, just like this Srimad-Bhagavatam written by Vyasadeva under the instruction of his guru, spiritual master, Narada
- Our process is to receive the perfect knowledge from the perfect source and distribute it. We don't manufacture knowledge
- Our process of acquiring knowledge: to hear from the right. So any, that is the system of Vedic civilization, that anything which is described in the Vedas, that is real proof, that is real knowledge
- Our propaganda, this Krsna consciousness movement, is that you take knowledge from Krsna directly. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Our propagation, this Krsna consciousness movement, is that we are trying to get our students well conversed in Bhagavad-gita & Srimad-Bhagavatam. So those who are our students, we have got our books now ready published so nicely. People are accepting it
- Our proposal is that you have got higher intelligence. Utilize it for higher purpose
- Our real aim of life - how to go back home, back to Godhead, and associate with Radha Krsna
- Our real business is how to get out of this entanglement, not to be more and more, I mean to say, implicated in this entanglement. That should be the point of view: to make the best use of a bad bargain. That should be the philosophy of life
- Our real knowledge is covered by delusion
- Our real occupational duty is to serve the Supreme. That is our real occupational duty. We are meant for serving. When we forget serving Krsna and we try to serve so many other things . . . means our lust, greediness, illusion, so many problems we serve
- Our real problem is that we have got this material body, but we have no sense that, Within this material body I am the spirit soul, living. So how to get out of this material body and again revive our spiritual body
- Our real suffering is the transmigration from one body to another. That we do not know
- Our real suffering is to take birth and remain in the womb of the mother
- Our reality is God realization. There are different stages, I mean to say, direct perception, then receiving knowledge from authority, then personal experience between the two, then above that transcendental, and then, I mean to say, spiritual
- Our relationship with God is there. One is conscious; another is unconscious. Otherwise, God consciousness is there. Therefore any process that awakens that consciousness, that is perfect process. That is stated in Caitanya-caritamrta, an authorized book
- Our request is, don't be hypocrite. There are four asramas: brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha, sannyasa. Whichever asrama is suitable for you, you accept. But sincere. Don't be hypocrite
- Our senses are uncontrolled, so our senses are dragging to the darkest region of existence. We do not know that. But we are simply chewing the chewed
- Our senses in this material world have been described as venomous serpents. Indriya-kala-sarpa-patala. Kala-sarpa, cobra, black cobra. So these indriyas are like that. Indriya means senses. As soon as touches, immediately it makes him poisonous
- Our senses ordering to do something which is not to be done at all. But still we have to do. Lusty desires are so strong, I do not want to do it, but it is forcing. In this way, we are being forced to serve the senses
- Our simple philosophy is that we are spirit soul. We are eternal. You are eternal. I am eternal. Everyone is eternal. We are changing our body, transmigrating from one body to another. And that means repetition of birth and death
- Our so-called advancement of education means to live on the mental platform. Harav abhaktasya kuto mahad-guna manorathena (SB 5.18.12). They have no information of the spiritual platform
- Our so-called meritorious activities in scientific research and education, they have been described in the Bhagavad-gita as duskrtinah, mischievous activities. Duskrtinah. They are not actually beneficial
- Our Society is practically demonstrating that this is the only business, and no other business. We therefore do not try even to earn our livelihood. That is the natural instinct of every animal
- Our speculative knowledge, intellectual platform, is not helpful. We must receive knowledge from superior source, perfect source. That knowledge is perfect
- Our standard of morality and immorality is to see whether Krsna is satisfied. If Krsna is satisfied, then it is morality. If Krsna is dissatisfied, then it is immoral
- Our students are forbidden not to accept any intoxication. They do not drink even tea or coffee, or smoke, what to speak of other things. That is our first condition to become disciple: no illicit sex life, no intoxication, no meat-eating, no gambling
- Our system is very simple, and at the same time very hard also. It is very hard for the unfortunate, but for the fortunate it is very easy. There is no difficulty to accept this philosophy
- Our task is very difficult, all these prohibitive rules: no illicit sex, no meat-eating, no intoxication, even up to smoking or chewing pan. So who will accept this philosophy? It is very difficult. Unless he is very serious about Krsna, nobody will take
- Our this Krsna consciousness movement is not pravrtti-marga - nivrtti-marga. Because if we go to the pravrtti-marga, increasing the propensity of sense gratification, then that is very dangerous
- Our understanding of this material nature, how it is working, how things are happening in a systematic way, how the sun is rising exactly in due course, due time, how it is setting - there are so many things we do not know
- Our Vaisnava principle is we have to qualify ourselves, just like cats and dog. But we are not going to serve the ordinary person. Krsna and His representative - then his life is perfect

- Pariksit was a very magnanimous emperor of this world. Unfortunately, he was cursed by a brahmin boy to die within seven days. But he did not take any reaction. He submitted
- Pariksit was in the forest, hunting. Hunting is allowed only to the ksatriya kings. Because they were to rule over, and formerly the rogues and rascals by the order of king or king himself would kill him immediately, so they had to practice how to kill
- Pariksit was to die within 7 days, and he immediately left his kingdom and family & went to the bank of the Ganges, sat down there tightly without taking even a drop of water; simply with great seriousness he heard Srimad-Bhagavatam. And he got salvation
- Part and parcel of gold must be gold. There is no doubt about it. But it does not mean that the small particle of gold is equal to the gold mine. That is not possible. Part is never equal to the whole

- People may say, to satisfy his friend, Arjuna has accepted Him (Krsna) as param brahma. But that is not the fact. Arjuna gives evidences that, Not only I, but the great authorities like Vyasa, Narada, Asita, Devala, they have also accepted You as the SPG

- People search out that, "I have got some material disease, and if somebody can cure, some saintly person, then he's guru or he's Bhagavan. I am poor. If he can give me some money, then he's guru." No. The sastra does not say like that

- Philosophers generally try to use their mind to speculate about the nature of the soul. But with the mind they can never understand

- Prakrta means things which are created, and aprakrta means which are never created, sanatana

- Ramacandra's life, God's activities, pastimes, if we hear, that means we are associating with Ramacandra. There is no difference between His form, His name, His pastimes and Himself. He's absolute
- Ramadi. Not only Rama, there are many other, innumerable incarnations. They are compared with the waves of a river. As the waves of the river cannot be counted, similarly, how many incarnations are there of the Supreme Lord it is not possible to count
- Ramananda Raya was feeling little shyness because he did not belong to the brahmin community. He was governor, householder. So he thought that Caitanya Mahaprabhu was asking him question & he was answering, that means he was taking the superior position
- Ramananda Raya. He was a grhastha. He was a responsible government officer. Still, he was the best disciple of Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- Ramanuja-sampradaya do not recommend pancopasana. In the Ramanuja-sampradaya there is no pancopasana
- Ratha means chariot. So if one could fight with one charioteer, he is eka-ratha. And if he could fight with one thousand charioteer, then he is called maha-ratha
- Ravana wanted to enjoy Laksmi without Rama. But Laksmi cannot stay without Rama, Narayana. That is false attempt. So he became vanquished
- Read Bhagavad-gita, but that chanting must be finished. That is very essential
- Read Bhagavad-gita. Na jayate: "Life is never created." It is existing eternally
- Real advancement means to know God. That is advancement. If you are lacking that knowledge, what is God . . . and because you cannot understand . . . there are so many rascals, they are denying the existence of God
- Real advancement: no more accepting any material body. That is the real advancement. Just finish
- Real aim of life is to stop the cycle of birth and death. That is real aim of life. If we do not know this, then we are ignorant
- Real auspicity is go back to home, back to Godhead
- Real business of human life, to understand oneself, that is called self-realization, brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20), and find out the remedy and act accordingly. That is the mission of human life. Not like to dance like cats and dogs
- Real civilization is how to go back to home, back to Godhead. But they do not know. Na te viduh (SB 7.5.31). The materialistic persons, they do not know. Therefore there must be organization, institution, to teach the human society how to go back to home
- Real dharma is bhagavata-dharma. Therefore Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (BG 18.66). This is dharma. That is called bhagavata-dharma, intimate relationship with the Lord
- Real disease is adanta go, uncontrolled senses. Visatam tamisram, entering into the darkest region of material existence. Punah punas carvita carvananam, chewing the chewed, again and again, the same sense gratification
- Real duty in the human form of life is whether you want to go back to home, back to Godhead, or you want to go to hell, repetition of birth and death. That is your choice. Otherwise why there are so many scriptures, religious system, all over the world?
- Real fact is that I am spiritual particle, and the whole spirit is Krsna, or God. Therefore, as part and parcel of God, it is my duty to serve God. That is spiritual life, bhakti-yoga
- Real fact is that the Supreme never falls down. The part and parcel of the Supreme, they fall down
- Real friend is Krsna. I can work on His behalf. How I can work? You try. If you actually want to do something good to your family, then you try to make all the members of your family Krsna conscious
- Real friend is Krsna. Real father is Krsna. Here husband, imitation husband. Real husband is Krsna. Master, imitation master. Real master is Krsna
- Real guru is he who instructs what Krsna has said. It is not that you manufacture your teaching. No. There is no need of manufacturing. The instruction is already there. You have simply to say, "This is this." That's all. Is it very difficult task?
- Real happiness, that is not felt by blunt material senses. So what is that sense? That is purified senses. When our senses are purified, tat-paratvena, for the sake of Krsna, when our senses are employed for the sake of Krsna, that is purified senses
- Real interest is, for the human being, to know what is God, what is my relationship with Him, and how I shall achieve the highest perfection of life. That is real interest
- Real is that in contact. Sa aiksata. That is the Vedic information. When the Supreme Personality of Godhead glanced over the prakrti, mahat-tattva, then the three gunas agitated, & she begins to give birth in so many varieties of the twenty-four elements
- Real knowledge begins in the Bhagavad-gita. Those who have read Bhagavad-gita, the first understanding, Arjuna was given lesson. When he was perplexed and he became a disciple of Krsna, sisyas te 'ham sadhi mam prapannam
- Real knowledge is now covered. Real knowledge, being covered by nescience. Therefore they are actually perplexed. By the name of so-called advancement of knowledge the whole population of the world, they are now perplexed
- Real leader means who does not commit mistake, who is not illusioned, who does not cheat and who has no imperfect senses, who has, or, other words, one who has got perfect senses
- Real life, real variety, real beauty, real knowledge, everything in reality is there in the spiritual world. It is only reflection
- Real love, the friendship is there between Krsna and His cowherds boy. Real love between animal and man is there - Krsna is loving the cows and calves. Real love between trees, flowers, water. Simply that is the platform of love. That is spiritual world
- Real problem is how to stop the birth, death, old age and disease, and that is Vedic civilization, and that is depending on the brahminical culture
- Real problems of life are not solved, because there is no knowledge. Lack of knowledge
- Real profit is here described, in Vaikuntha, how they are face-to-face seeing the Supreme Personality of Godhead, having the same body and same ornaments, same opulence, everything same
- Real progress of life is to become God conscious. That is the real progress. And without God consciousness, the so-called yogis, so-called meditation. . . What is this meditation? What is the profit? Simply some bogus propaganda. It has no value
- Real progress of life is to know what is God and what is my relationship with Him and how to act in that relationship. That is real life
- Real purpose is moksa, how to become free from this entanglement of repetition of birth, death, old age and disease. This is the real aim of life
- Real religious system is to understand that God is great; I am His servant. I am supported by Him; it is my duty to serve Him. This is religion. This is called bhagavata-dharma
- Real strength will remain from Krsna-Balarama's strength. Balarama. Balarama means strength. Nayam atma bala hina na labhyah. If you are not supported by Balarama, then it is not possible
- Real success of life is that when you learned how to love God. Then your heart will be satisfied
- Real suffering is because the living entity has forgotten God, so he is being punished in different way by the material nature
- Real suffering is due to our this material existence
- Real suffering is here, that you have to take your birth, you have to die, you have to suffer from disease and old age
- Real thing is to develop love for Krsna. That is the Vrndavana standard
- Real yoga system is to find out within the heart where is God. My business is that I've forgotten God. The karmis, they . . . karmis, real karmis, they do not forget. The upstarts, the rascals, they forget
- Realize the Supreme, that is the first and foremost aim, but at the same time, to keep the whole human society in perfect happiness
- Recent times have witnessed a concerted and noble effort on all fronts to bring about unity, peace, and harmony in the world, but these are possible only when people worship Lord Krsna and render Him devotional service
- Recently in California University one professor came. He has gained the Nobel Prize, chemical evolution. They are trying to prove that life is generated by chemical evolution
- Recently there is a book, Chemical Evolution. He wants to prove it, that by combination of chemicals the life has come in. That is not the fact. The fact is, life has come from life
- Recently, when I was in Los Angeles, one German scientist came there. He has written one book, Chemical Evolution, and he has got Nobel Prize. Now he's touring for lecturing on his theory
- Regarding Paramatma Das, I think he should simply push on with his school work as much as it may be necessary and the remainder of the time he may spend with the devotees in our Krsna Conscious activities
- Regarding propaganda against animal slaughter in BTG. Please do not print any picture showing how a cow is being murdered in our BTG. This will pollute the whole atmosphere. We are not meant for moving anyone's sentiment against animal slaughter
- Regarding the Preface to Bhagavad-gita, I shall send that as soon as I have got some time to write one. In the meantime you can go ahead with the remainder of layout work
- Religion does not mean to follow some ritualistic process. That helps us to approach, but they are not, I mean to say, primal necessity
- Religion is a kind of faith, but faith can be changed. But the knowledge which is essential in life, that cannot be changed
- Religion is not a kind of faith, but it is a duty, that duty we are forgetting, and therefore we are coming to the level of animals. Because the cats and dogs, they have no duty
- Religion means that one should be raised from the fallen condition to the highest elevated condition. Therefore there are so many rules and regulation
- Religion means the original characteristic. That is called religion. So original characteristic means that cannot be changed. That quality, that characteristic is always with us
- Religion means the religion which is given by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And the atmavit, those who are actually self-realized, they accept that religion, not any manufactured religion
- Religion means to become lover of God. But who is lover of God? Do not know what is God, and what to speak of love Him. They do not know, have no clear conception of God even
- Religion means to carry out the orders of God. That's all. This is simple definition of religion. You may define religion with some bombastic word. This is religion: religion means to abide by the orders of God. That is religion
- Religion means when one is trained how to surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is called religion
- Religion of human being is one. That is called sanatana. A living entity is described as sanatana. Mamaivamso jiva-bhuto jiva-loke sanatanah
- Religion, I have already said, it is a kind of faith. Faith can be changed, but our constitutional position, occupational duty, that cannot be changed. We are eternal servant of Krsna
- Religious life must begin very clean. Sinful life will not help . . . that is practical, everyone knows
- Religious principle and not religious principle, nonreligious principle - how to discern. The book is there, Veda. We have to consult the Vedas
- Remaining in light is a very simple method, therefore you see all these boys with their beads chanting Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare. In this way maya cannot touch them. No intoxication, no illicit sex, no meat-eating, no gambling
- Renouncing means that you are falsely possessing. So you give it to Krsna, the original proprietor
- Requires staunch faithful devotion. Then you are perfect. Then doesn't matter what you are, what you are doing. Whether the real point is fixed up. Bhajate mam ananya-bhak
- Respect is partial. Our process is whomever we respect, we worship him. That is more perfect
- Responsible government means responsible king. So what is the responsibility of the king? The responsibility that all the citizens, all the inhabitants of the state, they should live very comfortably and develop Krsna consciousness
- Right outside the temple there'll be doll exhibits for all the tourists
- Ritualistic process may be different. Hindus may be following a different kind of ritualistic process. The Christian may be following a different kinds of ritualistic process. That does not matter
- Rsabhadeva suggested that, "You practice austerity." Means . . . austerity means, I have already explained, I do not like to do anything, but for curing my this material disease, I have to do that. This is called austerity
- Rsabhadeva was retiring from the duty of royal position, and before that, He selected, out of His one hundred sons, Bharata as the king, next king
- Rudra is stated to be the son of Brahma. So Brahma is the son, or born out of the lotus flower from the abdomen of Visnu. Visnu is expansion of Krsna. In this way Krsna is the origin of everything. That is a fact
- Rules and regulation will act as servant, but the main business is to bring one to Krsna consciousness. That is the main business. We are not meant for cheating anyone. We have no business. But to lead one to Krsna consciousness
- Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami resigned their ministerial post and joined Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu for propagating His mission of Krsna consciousness. So rupa-sanatanau, they are very responsible government officers
- Rupa Gosvami is Lord Caitanya's principal disciple
- Rupa Gosvami, the example, when he wanted to retire from family life, he gave fifty percent to Krsna. He was very rich man. After retirement he brought one full load of boat, golden coins. Just imagine the value
- Rupa Gosvami, when he was in Vrndavana, he was known, the most learned scholar. So one mundane scholar came, and he approached Rupa Gosvami and said, "Sir, I want to talk with you on sastras." So Rupa Gosvami said, Why talking with me about sastras?
S
- Sabda is spiritual. Originally, just like in Bible there is "Let there be creation," this sound, this spiritual sound. Creation. Creation was not there. The sound produced the creation. Therefore, sound is originally spiritual
- Sabda means sound. Whenever you hear some sound, you should know, "This is vibration of the transcendental sound." The sound which we are vibrating, that is pure spiritual sound. Any sound in the material world, that is reflection of that spiritual sound
- Sabda-pramana means as soon as there is evidence in the Vedic literature, "This is this," you have to accept. Then your knowledge is perfect because you are accepting things from the perfect source
- Sad-acara lost means your progress in spiritual life is lost. Therefore we are stressing so much on the four points: no illicit sex, no meat-eating, no intoxication, no gambling. This is the way
- Sadhavah means those who are saintly person. Such kind of literature, although it is written in broken language, they hear it. Hear it. Because there is glorification of the Lord
- Sadhu means saintly person. So who is saintly person? Titiksavah karunikah suhrdah sarva-bhutanam (SB 3.25.21). Sadhu means, saintly person means, titiksava, tolerant, tolerant, without being disturbed
- Sadhu means saintly person. Titiksavah karunikah suhrdah sarva-dehinam. He's tolerant, he's very kind to everyone, and he's friend to all living entities. He has no enemy, or he is nobody's enemy. And he's peaceful. These are some of the qualification
- Sadhu means who speaks strictly on the sastra. Guru also speaks strictly on sastra. Sastra is the media. Therefore we protest. Unless there is something mentioned in the authorized sastras, we don't accept it
- Sadhu, from his side, he has no enemy. He is friend of everyone. Titiksavah karunikah suhrdah sarva-bhutanam (SB 3.25.21). And ajata-satravah santah, always peaceful. These are the qualities of sadhu, saintly persons
- Sadhu, sastra, guru: saintly person, association of saintly person, acceptance of bona fide spiritual master, and faith in the scriptures. That's all. Then your carriage will be going nicely
- Sadhu, those who are saintly persons, they're always thinking of the miseries of the people in general. They are not meditating for their own purpose
- Sadhu-sanga is very essential. Sat-sanga. Otherwise . . . There is another verse in the Brahma-samhita, that vedesu durlabhah (BS 5.33). You cannot understand Krsna by studying Vedas, although Vedas means knowledge
- Sadhu-vaidya, sadhu, saintly person, or a spiritual master or the scripture, what do they advise? The instruction is very simple, that you give up the service of this sense gratification - you just engage yourself to the service of Krsna
- Saksad-dharitvena samasta: the spiritual master is representative of Krsna. And Visvanatha Cakravarti advises that in all the scriptures it is stated that spiritual master is identical with the Supreme Lord
- Saktyavesa avatara, somebody empowered by Him, not Krsna Himself. Just like Christ. Christ is also empowered incarnation
- Saktyavesa avatara, there are two kinds: one directly empowered for particular mission, comes from the transcendental spiritual sky, and others, those who are in this material world, but they have got some specific power
- Saktyavesa-avatara, they are counted just like Lord Buddha, Jesus Christ. They are counted amongst the saktyavesavataras. They are also incarnation of saktyavesavatara, powerful. In this way the Supreme Lord manifests all over the universes
- Sama means controlling the mind, and dama is controlling the senses. Sama dama titiksa (BG 18.42). Titiksa means tolerance. Titiksa arjava, simplicity; and full knowledge, jnanam; vijnanam, practical
- Sama-darsinah means he is equal to everyone. That is sama-darsinah. Sama-darsinah does not mean to get a cheap adoration, popularity
- Sama-duhkha-sukhah, this material happiness and distress. Because I am not this material body, if I am actually convinced, so the pains and pleasure of this material world is due to this body
- Samah means controlling the mind - mind is always peaceful. You can train. Then controlling the senses. Then truthful. Then full of knowledge, practical application of knowledge in life. These are the qualification of first-class men
- Samhitam means Vedic knowledge, and satvata means eternal, or for the devotees
- Samskara means purificatory process. So that is human life, not that to beget a child. That begetting is going on by the cats and dogs. That is first birth. Janmana jayate sudrah. So that kind of birth is accepted as sudra. Then he can be trained up
- Samskara, reformatory. He has become humble, meek, well-versed in sastra. When these qualifications are there, then guru says, Now I recognize you. Upanayana. Upa means near and nayana means bringing. So gradually the spiritual master brings him nearer
- Sanatana Gosvami and Rupa Gosvami, they were the principal disciples of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, six Gosvami. Sri rupa sanatana bhatta raghunatha, sri jiva gopala bhatta dasa raghunatha
- Sanatana Gosvami inquired that, "I do not want this. I do not want this. But why they are imposed upon me?" This is very intelligent question
- Sanatana Gosvami is ideal disciple and Lord Caitanya is the ideal teacher, and we should learn how to approach a teacher and what is the qualification of a teacher
- Sanatana Gosvami is proving himself that he's qualified disciple, and Lord Caitanya is accepting him that, You are just the suitable person; therefore I shall accept you as My disciple and teach you the science of Krsna consciousness
- Sanatana Gosvami put this question before Caitanya: "My dear Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, these common men, they say that I am very learned scholar. But I am so big scholar that I do not know what I am and what is my aim of life." Just see
- Sanatana Gosvami said: "I do not know what is independence. I am dancing like dog, how independence I can get, that I do not know." Real independence is: birth, death, old age and disease. When we get free from these 4 problems, that is real independence
- Sanatana Gosvami was minister and very opulent position, very good associates. Because he was minister, so his associates are also very big men. But he resigned. He resigned. That is vairagya. So why? To understand what is the aim of life
- Sanatana term is very important. The living entity is sanatana, God is sanatana, the spiritual world is sanatana, & the process by which your lost relationship with God established and you go back to home, back to Godhead, that is called sanatana-dharma
- Sanatana-dharma means when the sanatana-jiva, living entity, tries go to back home. . . That is our real home. Here it is not home
- Sankara has interpreted by his limited knowledge. So that is not perfect knowledge. Therefore we don't accept Sankara's philosophy
- Sankara's philosophy says that brahma satyam jagan mithya. It is little farther advanced, admitting the spirit, but he says that spirit is impersonal. "There is no God. It is impersonal." So practically the same thing: it is void or there is no God
- Sankaracarya gives further, more, that brahma-nirvana that, "You become desireless of this material world, but you enter, merge into Brahman." That is called brahma-nirvana
- Sankaracarya wanted that there is only one Brahman, and we are also Brahman, but he wanted his philosophy of monism
- Sankaracarya's first condition is that "First of all you take sannyasa; then you talk of becoming Narayana." Who is taking sannyasa? So they are simply falsely thinking. Actually, their intelligence is impure, consciousness is impure
- Sankaracarya, he says, narayanah avyaktat parah: Narayana is transcendental. He has nothing to do with this material world
- Sannyasa means perfectly no more sex life. Vana . . . it begins from vanaprastha, retired. It is taught in the brahmacari. Only in the grhastha, restricted sex life; only for begetting nice children. Otherwise, no sex life
- Sannyasa means that, I shall live with the minimum necessities of life and simply devote
- Sannyasi is not enjoyer. But His description is enjoyer. Now how enjoyer can be sannyasi? But He is still sannyasi - renounced, everything. That is the point
- Sannyasi mean sat nyasi, one who has given up attachment for this false material world. That is the philosophy of Sankaracarya. He says, brahma satyam jagan mithya. He is advising that, you have got attachment for this material world. This is false
- Sannyasi means he works, but not as the enjoyer of the fruit of the work. That is sannyasi
- Sanskrit grammar is very difficult. It requires twelve years to learn simply Sanskrit grammar. So that is not possible
- Sarasvati, is preaching, "Do you know Krsna?" He says: "No." "He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead." Simply say like that, "He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead," and "Chant His holy name, Hare Krsna." If you do this, then you are preacher
- Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja. If you accept this principle, then you become actually transcendental to this so-called material happiness and distress. That is yoga
- Sarva-sastre, in every scripture there is the aim, ultimate goal is God or Krsna
- Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya specially requested Caitanya that, I neglected this person, Ramananda Raya. He was talking with me about spiritual subject matter, very highly elevated, and that I thought that he was a sentimentalist, so I neglected him
- Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, he was a impersonalist, followers of the Sankara philosophy. When he became convinced about the Vaisnava philosophy, he wrote one hundred slokas, prayers to Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, Ramananda Raya, big, big devotees, Svarupa Damodara and others, requested Caitanya Mahaprabhu that, Junior Haridasa has committed mistake, but he is Your personal servant. Kindly excuse him
- Sarvam idam means the whole body, idam. But your consciousness is not spread in others bodies. You must know it
- Sasanam means government. Sas-dhatu I have several times explained. Sas-dhatu means ruling. Sas-dhatu. From sas-dhatu the word has come, sasanam. There are many other words. From sas-dhatu is sastra
- Sastra cannot be changed. "Circumstantially, it will be changed, seasonal changes." No. That is not sastra. Sastra means it is perpetual
- Sastra gives full explanation, full knowledge. Sastra caksusa. We have to accept through the sastra. Not that, "Because I have not seen, therefore it is false." No. Vyasadeva has no business to tell you something false
- Sastra means direction - both past, present and future. Everything is there. Therefore we have to consult the Vedic literature. It is perfect. It is without any mistake, without any cheating. This is sastra
- Sastra means it is for all the time, not that sastra was meant in the past for something else, and now something else. That is not the fact. That means, sastra does not change. The time, place and atmosphere, according to that, everything is the same
- Sastra means it will guide you for the ultimate goal of life, for the perfection of life
- Sastra means the opinion of the great authorities, just like Vyasadeva, Parasara Muni, Narada Muni, modern acaryas. We do not neglect. We may differ from the philosophical point of view
- Sastra means Vedas, and sadhu, saintly persons, and guru. Saintly person means who abides by the sastra, Vedic knowledge. One who does not accept Vedic knowledge, so, followers of Vedas, they do not accept him as an authority
- Sastra says that if one is in bodily concept of life, he is no better than the animal. Because the dog, it does not know that beyond this body, the dog is there, he is a living entity, he is a soul, he is Brahman, part and parcel of the Supreme Brahman
- Sastra says that, "Everyone, every living entity, has got a general tendency for these things: sex life, meat-eating and drinking." Then where is the need of sastric injunction? That sastric injunction is there not to encourage them, but to restrict them
- Sastra says, "Here is the soul." The Yamaraja is snatching, dragging the soul, not his leg or hand. There's no business. As soon as the soul is gone, the leg and hand and everything becomes a lump of matter, that's all. What is the use of it?
- Sastra says, atah sri-krsna-namadi na bhaved grahyam indriyaih (CC Madhya 17.136). These blunt senses, those who are depending on the blunt senses, they can say nirakara, because he cannot see. He has no eyes to see what is that akara, what is that form
- Sastra says, atah sri-krsna-namadi na bhaved grahyam indriyaih: "You cannot understand Krsna by your present imperfect senses. That is not possible." Na bhaved grahyam, "You cannot accept or you cannot receive by your blunt senses." That is not possible
- Sastra says, No, no. You live with the minimum necessities. Don't increase your necessities unnecessarily
- Sastra says, that, These four necessities of life you'll get, any form of life. Any insignificant form or very important form, it doesn't matter. You'll get all . . . this is arranged." You have no anxiety for that. Krsna has given you
- Sastra says, Vedanta says, sastra-caksusah. Pasyanti jnana-caksusah (BG 15.9) in the Bhagavad-gita. Pasyanti jnana-caksusa: eyes should be enlightened by knowledge. That is real eyes. These blunt eyes is not eyes. Therefore guru is worshiped
- Sastra says, You are destined to certain type of miserable condition of life, certain type of so-called happy life. That will automatically come and go, just like seasonal changes. Agamapayino 'nityas tams titiksasva bharata
- Sastra says. . . visayah khalu sarvatah syat (SB 11.9.29): "In any form of life you'll get full facilities for the bodily necessities of life." Just see the birds & bees. They have no anxiety for maintaining the body or fulfilling the necessities of life
- Sastra, which is accepted by the acarya, that is sastra. You cannot make. As you cannot manufacture religion, you cannot manufacture sastras. Approved by the acaryas. Acaryopasanam. Therefore Krsna says also that you should know from the acarya
- Sastra-caksusa. Authoritative literature should be the eyes, not these blunt eyes. What is the value of these eyes
- Sastra-caksusa. Sastra . . . From authoritative statement of sastra you'll see. Don't see by your blunt eyes, rascal, this consciousness. Then you'll never find the actual fact
- Sastra-caksusa. You should accept as your eyes the sastras, not your so-called eyes
- Sastra-caksusa: you have to see through the sastra. Otherwise, we have no eyes to see past, present, future
- Sastra-caksusah. You should see through the sastra. That is our advice. We don’t see with our imperfect aparatus. Eyes are imperfect. All our senses are imperfect. Either you see through microscope or telescope, there is no scope of seeing right
- Sat means eternal. Spiritual body never annihilates. The material body annihilates. Every one of us, we have got now material body. It will annihilate. But in the spiritual world, when you have got spiritual body, it does not annihilate. Eternal life
- Sato vrtteh means dealings must be very honest. No duplicity
- Satsvarupa has got practical experience. He can give you advice. He started this gurukula. Practically this gurukula I suggested, but he began
- Sattva-guna, rajo-guna, tamo-guna, now mixed up by expert management, by expert process they can be separated, and we can come purely on the sattva-guna platform. And as soon as we come to the sattva-guna platform, then we can see things as they are
- Satya sama dama titiksa. Controlling the senses, controlling the mind, forbearance and simplicity, full knowledge, application of knowledge, belief in the Vedas - these are the symptoms of brahmin
- Satyabhama's father made a bet that "I have got these bulls, one dozen bull, very strong. And the boy who will be able to break the horns of these bulls, I will offer my daughter to him." So whole world will fail. It is not so easy job. But Krsna did it
- Satyakama was born of a maidservant, but he wanted to become brahmin. So he went to Gautama Muni: "Sir, make me your disciple." In those days, Vaidic brahminical culture, without becoming brahmin, he cannot be initiated
- Saucam, cleanliness. That is very essential. As soon as you give up cleanliness, you become mleccha and yavana
- Save time and utilize for advancing in Krsna consciousness. That is perfect life. Just like Vrndavana. Vrndavana life means agriculturist - cowherd boys, uneducated girls, cows and calves and tree, fruits. This is Vrndavana. The center is Krsna
- Says in the Bhagavad-gita: If you want to stop this chaotic condition, then accept Me (Krsna) that I am the enjoyer and proprietor of this whole world, and I am your real friend. Let the business be done on My account
- Scarcity of foodstuff, and taxation by the government. These are the symptoms of Kali-yuga mentioned in the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Scarcity of grains, and government will exact taxes for poor-feeding, and it will be used for their own purpose. These are the Kali symptoms
- Science of God is not material science. Simply material, academic career will not help
- Scriptures are made according to different classes of men. There are three classes of men: first class, second class & third class. The third-class man cannot understand the philosophy & scriptural injunction of the first-class man. That is not possible
- Seasonal changes may come and go in life - sometimes they may please us, and sometimes they may pinch us - but our duty in human life is to understand God. We shouldn't care for all these catastrophes that come and go
- See from practical what Vivekananda has done? But they have made propaganda, false propaganda - they have got roads. In a city like Bombay, big road, Vivekananda. But they do not care what Vivekananda has done
- Self-preservation is the first law of nature. So when there is danger, people will give up their wife and property and go. Just like people are going
- Sense control is very essential in the material advance, er, in the spiritual advancement of life. Samsparsajah. The happiness derived, material happiness derived out of the touch of senses, they are the mother of all miseries. Mother of all miseries

- Sex life is all right, required. Be a gentleman, get yourself married, live husband and wife peacefully

- Shameless men. We cannot say even gentlemen. A gentleman will be shameful, ashamed to speak something nonsense
- Siddhaloka. In that planet the residents they can fly without any sputnik or aeroplane. As we are trying to go from one place to another by aeroplanes, they can travel from one planet to another without any machine. By mantra-yoga they can fly

- Simply by employing yourself in devotional service you get the highest knowledge. That is vairagya

- Simply theoretical knowledge will not help us. Our main aim is how to become perfect
- Simply theoretical knowledge, no practical application - he is not brahmana. Therefore Krsna said, guna-karma. Only guna is not good. Guna and karma. Karma means some act
- Simply try to hear about God from authorized sources - then one day you will be able to conquer God within your hand
- Simply try to preach what Krsna has said. This is Caitanya's instruction. If you follow this instruction . . . Don't make any addition and alteration of your so-called learned scholarship. That will not help you. You must present Bhagavad-gita as it is
- Simply understanding "I am not this matter," is also external because there is chance of falldown. But when you are actually engaged in Krsna's service, that is positive platform of self-realization
- Simply understanding will not do, theoretical. Jnanam vijnanam. This theoretical knowledge is good, but there must be practical application. Then it is . . . Then it will stand

- Simply you have to agree, "Yes, I shall think of Krsna, chant Hare Krsna." That's all. That is required. Then gradually you become bhakta. Gradually you worship, and gradually you offer obeisances, surrender. That one, that is wanted by Krsna
- Simply you have to consult authorized books, you get learned yourself
- Simply you make propaganda that what is real leadership. Then they will inquire and we shall reply
- Since religion is one, do you think man will enter into a golden age in which he will accept one God
- Sisyas te 'ham prapannam (BG 2.7): "I am Your surrendered disciple." So Krsna becomes guru, and Arjuna becomes the disciple. Formerly they were talking as friends. But when there is some serious matter, it must be spoken between authorities
- Sisyas te 'ham sadhi mam prapannam (BG 2.7). He (Arjuna) accepted Him (Krsna) as the master, and he became disciple to understand Bhagavad-gita. This is the way
- Sit down in a secluded place, in what is called yoga-asana, straight body and not sleeping, half-open eyes and looking over the tip of the nose. So many methods. That is called meditation. But this kind of meditation is very, very difficult in this age
- Siva is not different from Krsna, but it is added with this material energy. Therefore Siva has turned into yogurt
- Sivadam means all auspicity, and the three-fold miserable condition of life is completely uprooted
- Six principles will increase your devotional service. The first principle is utsahat. Utsahat means: Enthusiasm. One must be determined that, This life I shall not die like cats and dogs. This life I shall die in such a way that immediately I go to Krsna
- Small animals praising the big animals, that's all. At least they say something about God. They are not zero. But they have no clear conception of God

- Small children or big children, they will address, "Mother, give us some alms." So every woman will give, and they would bring it to guru. And that is guru's property. Not because he has begged this thing from somebody, it has become his property. No
- So entrapped living entities, they are in different grades of life, 8,400,000 different forms of life. Now, how they are entrapped? The sex. Yan maithunadi-grhamedhi-sukham hi tuccham. This is their pleasure
- So even one is in offense, still, if he continues hearing and chanting, he will be purified. It is so nice thing. This is kevala bhakti
- So far Hindu religion is concerned, there are millions of Krishna Temples in India and there is not a single Hindu who does not worship Krishna. Therefore, Krishna Consciousness movement is not a concocted idea. The chanting process is also authorized
- So far Lord Buddha is concerned, he was Hindu, there is no doubt, but he started a separate type of religion - nonviolence - because at that time there was need for such religion
- So far our constitutional position is, we learn from Bhagavad-gita that this distinction is there, that I am the soul and my body is the matter
- So far our experience is concerned, we can understand the distinction between sat and asat, permanent and temporary. We cannot say, "nonexistent" exactly. Existing
- So far our knowledge is concerned, we have got a clear conception of God, what is meant by God. Therefore we do not accept the so-called dogs as God
- So far the bodily enjoyment, especially sex enjoyment, we had in dog's life, cat's life. So if by restricting this kind of sex life, if I can get back to home, back to Godhead & solve all problems of life, is it not the decision of the intelligent man?
- So far the body's concerned, either it is dead or alive, it is not the subject matter of any talk. Nanusocanti panditah. Those who are learned scholars don't talk about the body. They'll talk about the soul. That is pandita
- So generally the karmis, they want happiness in this life, and if he is intelligent enough, if he believes in the next life, then he makes some provision for next life
- So generally, in the material world two things are going on. The karmis are busy to acquire money for his sense gratification, and the jnanis, they've given up the world as mithya. Brahma satyam jagan mithya: Brahman is truth, and this is all mithya
- So I am very glad that you have all taken. Continue this Krsna consciousness. Read books, chant, dance, eat nicely and be happy
- So long I'll have a pinch of desire for enjoying this material world, I'll have to accept a typical body. This is the law of nature
- So long life is there, eating must be there, sleeping must be there. But not that sleeping twenty, twenty-five hours, and sex as much as they like, and eating voraciously. In this way if we keep our civilization, it will never be happy
- So long Maharaja Pariksit was there, there was no influence of Kali-yuga. So after all, the age has come. It is ordained. So Pariksit Maharaja was cursed by a brahmana to die within seven days, and after his death the Kali-yuga spreaded its influence

- So long the soul is there, the consciousness is there. The consciousness is not there means the soul is not there
- So long the soul or the living force is within this body, it is moving. As soon as the spirit soul is out of the body, it is . . . we call it is dead
- So long the spirit soul is there in the body it is important. As soon as the soul is gone, it is useless. But people are giving more stress on the body than on the active principle, living force, what is there. There is no study
- So long they (Mahatma Gandhi, Churchill or Hitler) were living, they were always full of anxiety, fighting with one another. Now they are not existing. What is the loss there? But unnecessarily they were busy, so without me, my country will be finished
- So long they do not come to the point of understanding spirit soul, they are simply rascals. And whatever they are doing, simply being defeated actually. The so-called scientific research, simply their defeat
- So long they'll insist upon this point, that "Without Krsna consciousness we shall do everything successfully . . ." That is durasa. As long as they persist on this, they'll remain rascals. Every plan will be failure
- So long this body is there, they are trying to have very comfortable position. But they do not know that after this body, he has to accept another body. So how this technology will help him?
- So long we are in the bodily concept of life, there are different natural instincts, and when we come to the platform of spiritual understanding, that natural instinct is different. That is real natural instinct
- So long we are in this material world, the miseries will continue. So a very intelligent question that, How one can get out of this miserable life?
- So long we are materially contaminated, we require this material body for enjoying senses. And the spiritual world, we get our spiritual body developed. So there is no question of becoming ghost
- So long we have got this human intelligence, we should utilize it for the highest perfectional stage of life. That is Krsna consciousness
- So long we have got this material body, we have to eat. We cannot starve. That is not possible. Similarly, we have to take rest, sleeping; we have to enjoy or give satisfaction to our senses; and similarly, we have to defend. This is called visaya
- So long we remain servant and obliged to perform according to the dictation of the senses, then I am go-dasa - on the material field, go-dasa, or under the spell of the material energy, servant of the material energy
- So long you are in the material world, such problems will come and go. They're not permanent. That is explained in the Bhagavad-gita: agamapayinah anityah tams titiksasva bharata. These problems, they'll come and they will go, just like seasonal changes
- So long you are not human being, you are coming through the laws of nature automatically. Now, when you come to the form of human being, bahunam janmanam ante (BG 7.19), after many, many births, many, many millions of years, you come; nature brings you
- So long you do not find the spiritual master is doing against the principles of sastra or guru, then if you give up the company of spiritual master, that is not good for you. That is your downfall
- So long you do not take dust of the lotus feet of devotee, who has nothing to do with this material world - he's simply concerned with the service of the Lord - unless you are in touch with such a person, it is not possible to attain Krsna consciousness

- So many mahatmas, sadhus, yogis, they are all useless, all useless, because they have no bhakti. Simply artificially cheating people. This is a society of cheaters and cheated
- So many millions of oceans can be pushed in this space, of material space
- So many mothers we have got, out of which cow is also mother. Therefore she's addressed as amba. Amba means mother. Still, in Gujarat province, they call amba. And in U.P., in India, they also call amba, or in a broken language they call amma
- So many rascal chemists, they say that the chemical evolution is the cause of life. What is this nonsense
- So many religious sect have come out, but original religion is this Vedic religion. But after that, so many religions they have come. So they have got history
- So many sannyasis, they go to jail for political affairs. Why? If you have realized Brahman, brahma satya jagan mithya, why you are mingling matters here in the material world? That means he has not
- So many varieties of life, different living entities meant for different purposes
- So many varieties of living entities in this material world, they are due to gunair vicitrah, by the different qualities, mixture of qualities. So on the gross estimation the mixture is sattva, rajas, tamas, the first mixture
- So much stress is given that wife should be chaste and the husband should be very well behaved, then life will be successful
- So taste of different classes are different. But one thing is that in whichever class we may belong, if you take to Krsna consciousness, then we become one
- So that cultural unity we are seeing, that we are one spirit soul, aham brahmasmi, the Vedic language is called, when we understand that "I am not this body; I am spirit soul."Aham brahmasmi. This is called purification
- So the brahmacari is educated in that way. Up to twenty-five years he cannot see a young woman. He cannot see even. This is brahmacari. He cannot see
- So the Yamadutas, their description of the body already given. They are not very good-looking. So when they saw the Visnuduta - the description of the Visnuduta is in the next verse - they were surprised, that - Wherefrom such nice features of the body
- So these demons who are very much eager to accumulate money by black market, they are cintam aparimeyam, immeasurable anxiety. Anything you do in the material world, there will be cinta, anxiety
- So these Yamadutas, they are accustomed to go to the sinful men like Ajamila and many others. Their business is to arrest the sinful soul and take the soul to Yamaraja. So they were very much surprised by seeing these beautiful Visnuduta
- So this is a chance given, human form of life. Just like after imprisonment you are again given little freedom. You cannot be completely free; however, you may declare that, I belong to free nation
- So this is the position. So because they cannot remain in that impersonal feature they come down again to these material varieties of life. That is called envious
- So-called advancement of civilization means the living entity is always compared as an ass, mudha. So instead of becoming intelligent, by material education one becomes more and more first-class ass, jada-vidya saba mayara vaibhava tomara bhajane badha
- So-called advancement of education means mayaya apahrta-jnana. The maya, the illusory energy, is plundering the real purpose of knowledge
- So-called education means creating unemployment. They will go with application, "Give me some clerical post, some this post, that post, that post." This is education

- So-called learned scholars and men of position, they declined, "Why shall I surrender to Krsna?" Therefore Krsna Himself as devotee of Krsna appeared. That is Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Caitanya is Krsna Himself, but He's teaching how to approach Krsna
- So-called modern civilization, they have no knowledge of God, although they are trying to study the laws of God. But they should accept at least theoretically there must be God
- So-called rascal scientists will give bluff, that "We are making solution of all problem." It is never solved. It will never be solved in future also, unless we take to Krsna consciousness. That is a fact. If you like, you can take it; otherwise suffer
- So-called scientific education means people become more attracted with this temporary world, and he works very hard, just like an ass

- Some rascal says: "The animals, they have no soul." So why the animals have no soul? Their consciousness is not developed, but soul is there
- Some say work done on the platform of Brahman is good action. Others say that good action includes works beneficial for the self, the society, the nation & humanity at large. When a person acts with such lofty intentions, he is surely known as a good man
- Some way or other, if you fix up your mind on the lotus feet of Krsna, that is perfection of yoga. Yoginam api sarvesam (BG 6.47). That is the verdict of all sastras
- Some way or other, we should be attached to Krsna. That is our only business, how we can be it doesn't matter, in broken language. There are many Sanskrit, I mean to say, not properly pronounced. But the Krsna name is there. Therefore it is sufficient

- Srimad-Bhagavatam is the book of knowledge which is dealing with the Supreme Personality of Godhead with His different devotees. That is called Bhagavata

- Srimati Radharani is the source of all potencies. Radha krsna-pranaya-vikrtir hladini saktih (CC Adi 1.5)
- Srimati Radharani, She is the topmost servitor of Krsna. So Her business is to keep pleased always Krsna. That is . . . that is the symbolic representation. Radha. Radha means anaya aradhyate. She is serving, the best service
- Srotavyam means beneficial to the human. So if it is not beneficial to the human, it may be beneficial to a certain class of men

- Sruti, which is beyond the sense perception, you have to hear it from authorities. That is knowledge
- Standard of morality does not mean that you manufacture something morality out of your concoction. No. Standard of morality is to obey the Supreme

- Starting from Lord Brahma to an ant, whoever accepted this material body, is suffering their karma. Karmic reaction is pious and impious activities. The reaction of pious activities is also one kind of suffering
- Stealing is there in Krsna. Does it mean that it is bad? No. It is good. Because it is connected with Krsna. Otherwise how people are worshiping a thief? When it is used materially, when I steal something for sense gratification, I am beaten with shoes
- Still finer than the ether is the mind. And then intelligence. And then false ego, and then the soul. These are the different position
- Stone cannot be liquid. If by chemical process you make stone liquid sometimes, as you transform stone to glass, that liquidness of stone is temporary
- Stri means woman, and the root meaning of stri means "which expands." As soon as you have got wife, you expand yourself
- Subhadra's son, he was only sixteen years old at that time. He was married with Uttara, the daughter of Maharaja Virata. So they were all maha-rathas, not ordinary fighters

- Sudra cannot give you any education. That is not possible. Education has to be taken from brahmana. That is Vedic system. Brahmana is the teacher because they are trained up
- Sudras were not supposed to understand Vedic knowledge. Especially brahmanas and ksatriyas
- Suffering condition of the living entity, and he can be rescued by the mercy of sadhu, saintly persons, the scriptures and the spiritual master. They are prepared to bestow their mercy upon everyone, provided people like to take their instruction & mercy
- Suhrdam sarva-bhutanam. They are not selfish, "Now I have become Krsna devotee, that's all right. Let others go to hell." No. They want to see that everyone becomes a devotee of Krsna. Therefore they are real friend
- Suhrdam sarva-bhutanam: He (Krsna) is the real friend of everyone
- Sukadeva Gosvami is suggesting the platform of speculative knowledge. When it has failed that a thief, repeatedly committing criminal activities, repeatedly he is being punished but he is not corrected, then what is the remedy? That is vimarsanam
- Sukadeva Gosvami said already that kecit kevalaya bhaktya (SB 6.1.15), "Simply by devotional service," vasudeva-parayanah, "one has to become attached to Vasudeva." This stage is very difficult, but very easy also
- Sukadeva Gosvami was speaking to Maharaja Pariksit, who was emperor of this planet. Maharaja Pariksit. And he was cursed by a Brahmin that he should die within seven days. So he was utilizing the seven days by hearing Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Sukadeva Gosvami, has examined Pariksit Maharaja, and it appears that the king has passed one phase of examination by rejecting the process of atonement (SB 6.1.11 purport). This is intelligence
- Suklo raktas tatha pita idanim krsnatam gatah: "And He had that white color and red color and yellow color." Idanim: "Just now, He has assumed this black color." So this was the astronomical calculation of Krsna's birth
- Summer season, they blaze fire all round and sit down in the midst and meditate. I am giving you some of the examples, how severely they accept tapasya
- Sun is fixed up. Everyone can see that it is lying in one insignificant corner of the sky, but his sunshine is distributed all over the universe, and everything, all planets, all vegetation, all seasonal changes, they are depending on the sunshine
- Sunshine is making the whole thing very hot, and the moonshine making them pleasing. So God's arrangement is so nice that everything is going on nicely. There is brain behind it. Why there is sunshine, why there is moonshine, everything described
- Sunya means zero. That is called nirvana. Buddha philosophy advocates nirvana: no more desire. That is their philosophy: By desire you are becoming implicated, so make all your desires extinct. Then there will be no more feelings of pains and pleasure
- Sunyavadi means voidist, and nirvisesa means impersonalist. The whole world is going on like that. So we should be careful about this voidists and impersonalists. We should take direct instruction from Krsna
- Supersoul does not become affected by the material qualities, but the individual soul, they are affected by the material qualities, sattva-guna, rajo-guna, tamo-guna
- Supersoul is God, Krsna, and the individual soul, they're living together. Isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese (BG 18.61). Isvara, the Supreme Lord, He's also there, very minute form
- Suppose a king dies; does it mean the government dies? The government will go on. You can say, "God is dead." God is not dead, neither you are dead. But if you foolishly say that God is dead, that does not mean His law is also dead. The law will go on
- Suppose as a geographer you sit down; as a religious preacher, I sit down; as a motorcar driver, he sits down; as a factory worker, he sits down and perform yajna. Yajna means we chant the holy name of the Lord. Where is the difficulty
- Suppose cent percent spiritual knowledge you acquire in this body. Then that will continue with you. Even after destruction of this body that spiritual knowledge will continue with you, and when you get next body, you begin
- Suppose everyone has got some charitable disposition of mind. In that disposition of mind, if by chance he gives to some Vaisnava some money, that becomes a credit. That is called ajnata-sukrti
- Suppose I was a very big king or prime minister. That is all finished. Now I've got another life, another chapter of life. Tatha dehantara-praptir (BG 2.13). You have to change your body. It may be lower degree or higher degree, but you have to change
- Suppose if you live in a rented apartment, you cannot claim that this is your apartment. It belongs to the landlord. You're allowed to stay here under certain conditions. You're not proprietor
- Suppose in the old age I am traveling all over the world. People think that I have taken some hardship. But for Krsna's sake, even it is hardship . . . Actually, there is no hardship
- Suppose one is diseased; many expert physician treating him, nice medicine is offered. Is that guarantee for his life? No. That is not guarantee. If Krsna neglects, in spite of all these good physician and medicines he will die
- Suppose one man is educated as medical man, but after taking his degrees he is playing football. He might have the qualification, medical qualification, but because he is not practicing as medical man he is useless. That is the sastric injunction
- Suppose the minister, goes to the criminal department to see the prison house. He is not affected by the prison rules. It is simple to understand. If the prisoner thinks, "Oh, he is also one of the prisoner, because he has come here," this is nonsense
- Suppose there are so many persons, they are without food in the hospital. Doctor has prescribed, "No food." What you can do there? Can you show your sympathy
- Suppose there is car and a driver. So the petrol and grease, these things are required for the car. But you cannot eat them. You have to eat something else. So we are thinking that the bodily necessities, petrol and grease, is my food. That is a mistake
- Suppose there is some fire incidents at home. A man will forget all his wife and children; he will come out immediately to save himself, because we love ourself very much. It is a fact. Self-preservation is the first law of nature
- Suppose we are dancing here, and if we understand that immediately death will take place, then we shall not be able to enjoy the dancing. Immediately the anxiety will come. So here, ananda, there is no ananda
- Suppose you are doing business; that is also tapasya. You have to work very hard. Money does not come so easily. Then you get some money. So it is also the result of your tapasya
- Suppose you are geographer, and I am a religious preacher, and he is a cultivator, he is a factory man. So that is all right. If we sit down together and perform yajna simply by glorifying the Lord, where is the loss in your part or my part or his part
- Suppose you are initiated as a brahmana. That is not finish, that "Now I am initiated. I have got sacred thread. I can do all nonsense thing." No. You must act as a brahmana. Then you are brahmana. You always remember that
- Suppose you are lawyer. Your particular engagement is study of law or executing legal business. So that is sva-dharma

- Surrender means one should simply accept favorable service to Krsna and reject anything which is unfavorable
- Surrender means to accept favorable things, how I can make progress towards Krsna, and pratikulya, pratikula means rejecting unfavorable things which are not very congenial for my progress to Krsna consciousness
- Susila, well behaved. The behavior should be so nice. That is the test how you have become Krsna conscious
- Susrusoh means one who is very inquisitive to hear - at the same time, to render service. These two qualifications. Susrusoh. Sraddadhanasya (SB 1.2.16), with faith. Vasudeva-katha-rucih. For him the taste for hearing krsna-katha is very easy
- Suta Gosvami confirms this, that "Your question about Krsna is so nice that it is auspicity for the whole world." So we have started this Krsna consciousness movement. It is not any personal affair. It is auspicity for the whole world
- Suta Gosvami was presiding in a very learned assembly at a place which is known as Naimisaranya. It is long, long ago, at least four thousand years ago, but that place, Naimisaranya, is still in India
- Svarupa Damodara Gosvami recommended that a brahmana, he wrote something about Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and there were so many discrepancies. So Svarupa Damodara Gosvami was not at all satisfied with such writings. He chastised the brahmana
- Svarupa-siddhi is attained at a certain stage. The desire for sex life is there in every human being, but when the boy and the girl come to the mature stage, it become manifest. Similarly, the raga-marga, svarupa-siddhi, becomes revealed, or manifest
- Svarupa-siddhi is not something artificial. When one becomes perfectly spiritually realized, then he understands what is his relationship with Krsna and he begins his service in that relationship as father, as friend, as guru or as servant, like that
- Svarupa-siddhi is not that you do all nonsense things and svarupa-siddhi. Svarupa-siddhi means when he is actually liberated, he understands what is his relationship with Krsna. That is svarupa-siddhi
- Svarupa-siddhi means perfection of one's original, constitutional position. Svarupa-siddhi. That we shall realize. As we make advance in the Krsna consciousness
- Svarupa-siddhi means realization of perfection
- Svarupa-siddhi means to be engaged in the service of Lord. That is real mukti
- Svarupa-siddhi, arcana-siddhi. By simply worshiping Deity one can become perfect
T
- Tad viddhi pranipatena pariprasnena sevaya. Guru has to be given service, that nicavat. Nicavat means menial servant
- Tad-vijnana means spiritual knowledge. Spiritual knowledge. For acquiring spiritual knowledge. Tad-vijnanartham. Sa - one; gurum eva - eva means must; gurum - to a guru. Must go to guru. Not "a guru"; "the guru." Guru is one
- Tad-vijnanam means spiritual education. For material education there is no need of guru. You keep . . . Guru, of course required, but guru means to inquire about spiritual subject matter
- Take advantage of this knowledge, understand the philosophy of life, that "I am eternal." Na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). I do not die after the annihilation of this body. I accept another body
- Take some land and work little, produce your grains, and the cows are there, you take milk. So milk, vegetables, grains, your economic question is solved
- Take this formula from the sastras that a living entity is never created. These rascals are trying to create living entity and spending money and going to hold big, big conference. So where is the question of creation? They are already created
- Taking these few years, fifty years or sixty years living here, and dance like dog and finish. There is no life
- Taking to shelter of God or God’s son, one is saved. That is reasonable. But what is this philosophy that one is destined to go to hell, one is destined to go to heaven? This philosophy is not very nice
- Tamo-gunas, the persons who are in the darkness of knowledge, they have got their faith. It is not that they have no faith. They have got faith. But that faith is in the lowest status of life. That faith will not help him for spiritual realization
- Tantra is expansion, because ordinary men cannot understand Vedic knowledge. Just like Mahabharata, it is in the form of history, but in it is Vedic instruction. Similarly, in this Narada Pancaratra made by Devarsi Narada, it is also Vedic
- Tapa, we prescribe for tapasya no illicit sex, no meat-eating, no intoxication and no gambling. This is tapasya. This is tapasya. We have to accept if we want superior position of life. Tapo divyam
- Tapasya means brahmacarya. The so-called svamis, they are coming for this so-called yoga practice and. . ., but they are themself victim of sex. This is going on
- Tapasya means even one is attracted, he should not act. That is tapasya. There may be some difficulty to control, but that should be practiced. It can be practiced. It is not very difficult
- Tapasya means to accept voluntarily something as enjoined in the sastras. Whatever Krsna says, that is sastra
- Tapasya: voluntarily accepting some severe condition of life. So in this age it is very difficult, but this is the meaning of tapasya, voluntarily accepting inconveniences
- Tatam idam means, "I am expanding everywhere." Here is also God. Where you are sitting, there is God. Everywhere. God is all-pervading, exactly like the sunshine
- Technological advancement is not civilization. It is the advancement of ugra knowledge. Real civilization is to advance in Brahman knowledge. If there are brahmanas, that is advancement
- Technology means technician. Suppose a man knows how to work in electricity, in so many things. Does it mean he is a learned man
- Temple management should not be done directly by you. You can give him policy that, "You do like this." That's all. Because you have got so many other things to do
- Temporary I have got some misunderstanding with some friend, or temporary I do not get some nice food, and therefore suffering - these sufferings are extra, but real suffering is this - janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi
- Temporary or false you can take on the same category. But Sankaracarya said that brahma satyam: that spirit soul - Brahman, that is reality, and this external feature of the Brahman, or the body - that is false
- Tenth Canto is ninety chapters. That is Krsna's face, Krsna's beautiful face. Everyone is attracted by the smiling face of Krsna
- That clear conception of soul you can have from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna. He is speaking to Arjuna, and that is recorded by Vyasadeva and which is presented before us as the Bhagavad-gita
- That frog philosophy is going on. Dr. Frog. He's simply calculating the well, that's all. "How there can be Atlantic Ocean?" That is frog philosophy
- That Guljaya Nanda you know? He was one of the prominent member of the Planning Commission. He was very important member in the central government, Home Member, Planning Commission, President and so on, so on. Nowadays he is loitering on the street
- That is a fact. Religion means to surrender to Krsna. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared to teach this religion, how to surrender to Krsna. Vairagya-vidya-nija-bhakti-yoga
- That is a real civilization of life, to understand, to appreciate, to appreciate the greatness of God. That is real civilization
- That is called svarupa-siddhi. Jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa (CC Madhya 20.108). This realization, that "I am eternal servant of Krsna," this stage
- That is described in the Bhagavad-gita by the Supreme Being, Krsna, duhkhalayam asasvatam: "It is a place of miseries." You cannot make things very rightly going on. It is not possible. Therefore the best purpose will be served - leave this place
- That is first class system of religion. What is that? Which teaches one how to become unalloyed, unflinching devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is first class, all others they are defective
- That is highest knowledge. It doesn't matter whether you are Muhammadan, Christian or Hindu or this or that. Whether you know God and you have fully surrendered to Him, then it is perfect. Otherwise, it is simply waste of time
- That is in no scripture excepting Vedic scripture. Clear conception of God is there in the Vedic. Definition of God, clear conception of God, everything is there
- That is in the Bhagavad-gita. Acaryopasanam (BG 13.8). It is not self-aggrandizement. The acaryopasana goes to Krsna directly. Therefore it is needed. Not that it is a pompous thing
- That is my request: that we have got this body, and the bodily demands are there. The bodily demands means eating, sleeping, sex and defense. That is required. We don't stop it, but minimize it. Don't increase it
- That is not our life, to become an impostor. It must be real person. By training, yah sastra-vidhim siddhih, by training under the teaching of a bona fide spiritual master, the sastra
- That is not possible for any material scientist to find out where the spiritual sky is. But you can understand from authoritative scriptures and from authorities like Lord Caitanya
- That is not very essential. Essential is how to think of Krsna. Krsna says, man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah. He doesn't say that you become vegetarian
- That is our unique situation. Perhaps throughout the whole world we are trying to preach that "You are not this body. You are different from body." And we have not manufactured this idea. This is the instruction in the Bhagavad-gita
- That is real religious system, which teaches the follower how to become a devotee
- That is Sankara's philosophy: brahma satyam jagan mithya. That is his philosophy. Brahman means that spirit soul, that is fact. And this material external, that is false. A little advanced than the Buddha philosophy
- That is standard, as that Vedic language, Vedic instruction. Just like Caitanya Mahaprabhu gave the standard, harer nama (CC Adi 17.21): "Chant Hare Krsna." Immediately successful. That is standard
- That is the best qualification. If he becomes disinterested with these so-called modern civilized activities, that is the perfection of life
- That is the characteristic of devotee. What the Lord says, the devotee will say. He will not make any addition, alteration, and amalgamate and comment
- That is the defect of the mudhas. They may be very great scholar, academic scholar, but in the matter of understanding God, they're mudhas, asses
- That is the demand of Krsna. Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (BG 18.66): "You have manufactured so many rascaldom in the name of religion. Give up all this nonsense. Simply surrender unto Me." This is wanted
- That is the distinction between dog and human being. If he does not become inquisitive how to control the mind, he is not even a human being
- That is the duty of the father and mother, parents, to raise the children to complete Krsna consciousness. Then she will no more have to come back in the womb of any other mother
- That is the duty of the government, that everything is going on nicely. Otherwise, it will be a great concern, and people will be always filled up with anxieties. There will be so many troubles and problems - we cannot solve them
- That is the first thing, acaryopasanam. But these rascals, they do not do that. They have no acarya; still, they write comment on Bhagavad-gita
- That is the instruction of Krsna. Don't be attracted by the temporary material benefits. Just try for permanent, eternal benefit. Go back to home, back to Godhead
- That is the law in Manu-samhita, that a murderer is killed, then his all sinful activities, reaction of life, finishes by that killing, by that hanging. Otherwise next life he has to suffer so many things
- That is the law of nature. Nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam. Then why don't you accept the supreme authority? This subordinate authority . . . we have to accept somebody as our leader. It is not possible that we can live without leadership
- That is the problem, risky civilization, that people are kept in dark ignorance about the problems of the life. They do not know. They are struggling from the beginning of life, but they do not know what is the problem of life
- That is the qualification of the disciple. He should approach the spiritual master as if he does not know anything
- That is the real disease. So long one is situated in the bodily concept of life, he is animal
- That is the sign of a saintly person, samatitya. Samatitya: they have no enemy. Ajata-satravah. Even the adhira, the saintly person considers as friend, and even a dhira he considers friend. Panditah sama-darsinah (BG 5.18). This is the dhira
- That is the speciality of human society, that the more one society follows the rules and regulation, he is to be considered civilized
- That is the Vedic civilization, that you work for three months, not very hard, simply till the ground and sow some food grain seed, and within three months it will grow, and you will have ample food grains, and you'll keep it in stock. And keep some cows
- That is up to you to judge - by the result. If they are actually advanced, why they should leave ISKCON? I know they're very good souls; they might have done some mistake out of misunderstanding - you invite them to come back again & take their position
- That is Vedanta. Try to feel separation for Krsna, separation from this nonsense material world
- That is Vedic civilization - cleanliness. "Cleanliness is next to godliness." Everyone should take thrice bath, cleanse everything
- That is very essential, the varnasrama-dharma, because we must have the aim of life. At the present moment there is no aim of life. The aim of life is sense gratification, that's all. Indriya-trpti. That is forbidden in the sastra
- That is Vivekananda. Yata mata tata patha. That means everyone can become authority. This is their philosophy
- That kind of staunch faith is not very easy. It is for the great personality. Immediately accepts. Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya (BG 18.66). Immediately accepts: "Yes." Then sa mahatma sudurlabhah. That is not very easily done
- That man is my enemy. If you can bring him here and beat him with shoes, I'll be very much satisfied - This is material world. Even at the time of death, he's thinking enmity with others
- That one, Krsna consciousness, will make this material civilization hundred times important. And without Krsna consciousness, they are all zeros
- That spiritual body is within, but we have no information. Therefore it is said, alpa-buddhayah. The real life is within. We don't take care
- That spiritual nature, is not dark. That is full of light. Just like the sun planet there is no possibility of darkness, similarly, every planet there, they are self-illuminated, so there is no darkness
- That statement of my Guru Maharaja, "the society of the cheaters and the cheated," is a fact everywhere. In a law court also, you bribe; you get justice. That is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam: If you have got no money, then you cannot get justice
- That thing which is spread all over your body, that is consciousness. If you pinch any part of your body, you'll be conscious that there is some pain. Therefore the Bhagavad-gita is aiming at this consciousness
- That verse is very important. Mam eva ye prapadyante mayam etam taranti te. As soon as you become fully surrendered to Krsna, you are liberated
- That was animal sacrifice. Sometimes horses, sometimes cows were offered. But in this age, Kali-yuga, they are forbidden because there is no such yajnika-brahmin
- That will be very nice propaganda, to select real leaders of the society. The . . . we are misled by rascal leaders. That is the difficulty - all rascals
- That's all, this material existence is very difficult to crossover but by accepting this sannyasa order, by preaching Krsna consciousness I shall also crossover the ocean of nescience
- The "struggle for existence" and "survival of the fittest," this word is very common, but nobody knows what is that struggle for existence and what is the platform of becoming fittest. Nobody knows
- The aborigines in the jungle. They were hunting one animal, then eating, not that civilized nation, organized slaughterhouse
- The absolute controller cannot be impersonal. By our practical life we see - government. "Government" is an impersonal word, but at the end of the government, there is a governor or president, a person
- The Absolute Truth can be understood perfectly only through devotional service. There is no other way. There is no other way. In every scripture, Vedic scripture, this is announced
- The Absolute Truth is avan manasa-gocara. By logical arguments how you can reach? That is not possible
- The Absolute Truth is both impersonal and personal, but somebody is stressing on the impersonal point of view and somebody is stressing on the personal. But we Vaisnava, we know what is the meaning of impersonalism and what is the meaning of personalism
- The Absolute Truth is manifested in three ways: impersonal Brahman and all-pervading Paramatma and Personality of Godhead - brahmeti paramatmeti bhagavan iti sabdyate - but they are one and the same. This is the verdict of the sastra
- The Absolute Truth is one, but according to my capacity I understand Absolute Truth in three features. Those who are trying to understand the Absolute Truth by dint of his imperfect knowledge, he comes to the conclusion that Absolute Truth is impersonal
- The Absolute Truth is one, but according to our angle of vision, sometimes we are seeing it is hazy cloud, sometimes as greenish mountain, and when you actually in that place, you see varieties of living entities, trees and houses, everything there
- The Absolute Truth is one. One who knows the Absolute Truth, he knows that Brahman, Paramatma, Bhagavan, the same objective, but they are realized by different devotees or different knower in different features
- The Absolute Truth is realized in three phases of understanding, namely as Brahman, or the impersonal universal soul; Paramatma, or the localized universal soul; and at the end as the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- The Absolute Truth is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Absolute Truth is a person like us, but He is the Supreme Person. That is the Vedic information. Nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam
- The acarya knows how to adjust things, at the same time keep pace with the spiritual injunction. It is not that the same thing to be applied everywhere. He is eager to engage actually the people in the real benefit of life, but the means may be different
- The acarya or the spiritual master's duty is to give direction to the disciples how he can fix up his mind always on the lotus feet of Krsna. He should . . . he knows how to engage a particular devotee in a particular type of service
- The acaryas and the devotee, big, big devotees, they have given the routine work for cultivation. Just like we have got this Nectar of Devotion, how to cultivate devotional life
- The active principle is that living soul. As soon as the active principle is gone, then it is useless. "Dust thou art, dust thou be-est." Then this body is made of this earth, and it again becomes earth
- The aim of human society should be God realization. That is the distinction between an animal and a human being
- The aim of life is described that how to go back to home, back to Godhead. That should be. So if that is our aim of life, then we must engage our self in devotional service, or Krsna consciousness
- The all, the essence of all sastra is Bhagavad-gita. All the, Garbha Upanisad. All the Upanisad, Vedic sastra, is spoken in a very short, cream, Bhagavad-gita, and the Supreme Personality speaking Himself. So we should take it very seriously
- The analysis of man is perfect when he is searching after his constitutional position, "What I am? Am I this body? Why I have come to this world?" This inquisitiveness required. That is the special prerogative of human being
- The animal cannot think beyond his body. A dog is thinking, "I am this body." The cat is thinking, "I am this body." Beyond this, he has no power. He is so low-grade. Therefore, he is called animal
- The animal is servant of one sense, and because I am rational animal, I have become servant of all the senses. I am utilizing my rationality in that way
- The animals have no concern to understand this philosophy of life that, I am not this body; I am spirit soul. I am encaged. Somehow or other I have to get out of this entanglement and be again reinstalled in my original consciousness
- The arca-murti we are serving. It is not that. . . Don't think. . . Arcye visnau sila-dhih. If you are rascal, they will think that "These people are serving a stone statue." The rascals will think like that, but that is not the fact
- The astronomical calculation is so perfect that, they say, one ten-thousandth part of a second is also calculated. So accurately things are moving
- The asuras, they do not know what is cleanliness, what is proper behavior. That is the asuric quality
- The asuri bhava is defy the existence of God. "Who is God? I am God." Hiranyakasipu was a typical example of this demon. As soon as his son, five years old, he would chant Hare Krsna, he immediately object, Why you are chanting Hare Krsna
- The atheist class see, what is the Jagannatha made of? Wood or stone? They're seeing wood and stone. Similarly, Vaisnavas also they're seeing "a American," "European." They are blind. Sastra says: If you think like that, then you become hellish
- The atheist class, they'll not accept. "What is God? I don't care for . . . there is no God." All right. Wait. God will come
- The atheist class, who does not believe in God, he'll see God at the end of life when he cannot do anything. But before that, if he sees God, then his life is saved. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti (BG 4.9). But that they'll not accept
- The atheist theory that combination of matter makes a situation when living symptoms come out, combination of matter, that is the present chemical theory, chemical evolution. There are so many theories based on Darwin's theory, chemical evolution
- The atma, Krsna, cannot be understood or approached, pravacanena, simply by logical arguments
- The authorities of the temple should be so careful that it does not turn into something else besides temple. Then you are safe. The maya cannot touch you
- The authorized process is chanting of the Holy Name as it is recommended in all the Vedic literatures, and it is being effective amongst the people whose background is neither Hinduism nor Indianism
- The Ayurvedic medicine, they treat patient on this principle, how things are disturbed. They have got their calculation: kapha, pitta, vayu. Tri-dhatu. This body is a composition of these three dhatus
- The beginning of Bhagavad-gita is to teach that soul is eternal, it is migrating from one body to another, so there is next life. That is authoritative knowledge
- The beginning of devotional service is the development of faith in the scriptures and the words of the saints
- The bhagavad-dutas are gosvami, and the servants of the senses are go-dasa
- The Bhagavad-gita is being spoken in the battlefield, full of violence, and he is trying to prove that the Bhagavad-gita is nonviolent. These are all artificial attempts. These explanations will never give you the real light from Bhagavad-gita

- The Bhagavata says that you can make economic development as far as it maintains your body and soul together. Not that making whole life economic development and real purpose of life forget
- The Bhagavata school does not give any credit for all material acquisitions. Simply they say it is simply a waste of time. Srama eva hi kevalam
- The big, big chemist, big, big scientists, they are trying to create living entities. Their theory is, "By chemical evolution there is living symptoms." But it is not possible
- The blazing fire of material existence extinguished immediately. This is the first gain. By chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra offenselessly, the first gain is mukti
- The body has no importance. Real, the soul is important, the living force. So we have no education about that living force, and the original living force is Krsna, or God
- The body is born and is destined to be vanquished today or tomorrow. Therefore the body is not as important as the soul. One who knows this is actually learned. For him there is no cause for lamentation in any stage of the material body
- The body is material. Therefore all these activities for comforts of the body . . . that is demon, more or less. So cinta . . . the demons, they are anxiety. Everyone has anxiety, but their anxiety, aparimeyam
- The body is not independent. And the soul goes away. Then body's no more independent. It cannot move. It becomes just like dust. "Dust thou art; dust thou be-est." . . . like this body is moving now, but it is not independent. It is dependent on the soul
- The body is the destiny. With the body everything is destined - your material happiness and distress, everything
- The body may be prime minister or anything else, as soon as the soul is out of this body, it is not worth even a farthing. Similarly, because Krsna enters within this universe, therefore the universe has value. Otherwise it is simply lump of matter
- The body means suffering, material body. Anyone who has got this material body, he is suffering. Nobody is enjoying
- The body which you occupied previously, that is false now. Now the body which you have occupied now, that is important now. So you are giving stress on the body, which I am changing after few years. That is the problem, misunderstanding

- The brahmana's son who cursed Pariksit Maharaja, he was only twelve years old, a boy, and because he cursed Pariksit Maharaja that, "Within seven days he will have to die," so he had to die. Just a small brahmana boy, how he was powerful
- The brahmanas are supposed to be pious; therefore a sannyasi is advised to accept food, luncheon, in the brahmana family. And brahmana family, still - not all, a few families still in India - they worship regularly Narayana-sila, salagrama-sila
- The brahmanas should be ideal teachers of Vedic understanding. The ksatriyas should follow, even by force. Just like Pariksit Maharaja
- The brahmanas were first-class men, ideal. But in the society there is no ideal men. One should have some example, living example, to see, Oh, here is an ideal man
- The brahmanas' community, all saintly persons and learned scholars, brahmanas . . . there was a committee, and the king would take their advice how to manipulate the political affairs or administration, and they would consult standard books
- The brahmanas, those who are in charge of religion, the priestly order or the maulavis or the brahmanas - they're the same order - their duty is to keep people enlightened in the real mission of life
- The brahmin, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra, brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha - everyone should be engaged in Krsna consciousness. Then the society will be perfect. Otherwise, there will be chaos

- The brahminical culture and the cows . . . why they have selected the cows? There are so many animals. Why cow protection is so important in Krsna consciousness?
- The Brhaspati is the spiritual master of the demigods, and his wife was kidnapped by Candra. He is also one of the demigods. Just see: the sex and lusty desires are so strong, even in the higher planetary system. And that is the cause
- The British started the first concentration camp. They took these "Afrikaners" as they call them, Europeans. They put them on an island called St. Helena. That was actually the first concentration camp, by the British
- The business of human life is how to become free from this material encagement. But the asuras, or the demons, instead of becoming free from material entanglement, they become more and more involved
- The caste system is very scientific. A section of people should be trained as brahmins. Those who are intelligent enough in the society, they should be picked up for being trained in higher philosophical science
- The cats and dogs, they cannot understand what is the distinction between spirit and soul, er, spirit and matter, but a human being can understand that, This is spiritual side; this is material side. The spiritual side is important
- The chemical evolution, it is also maya. They are thinking by further improvement . . . just like you were speaking, almost come to the point. That, "almost coming to the point," that will continue. You will never come to the point
- The child comes empty hand and the dead body goes empty hand. So between the birth and death, this small duration of life, we are supposed to possess so many things. That is our false possession
- The child is completely dependent on the care of parents and he's happy. Simple philosophy. But because we have advanced in civilization, in knowledge, therefore we want to understand this simple philosophy in so many jugglery of words. That's all
- The child is giving up his childhood body, accepting the boyhood body. The boy is giving up his boyhood body, accepting youthhood body. Similarly, this body of old age, when giving up, natural conclusion is that I will have to accept another body
- The child is imperfect, but when he gets the knowledge from the perfect source, mother, then it is perfect. Similarly, we, we never say that we are perfect. If you are perfect, then why you are learning? We are trying to become perfect
- The child's broken language and movements were very pleasing to Ajamila, who was very attracted to the child. He always took care of the child and enjoyed his activities
- The class of men who do not believe in God, they should be punished, because they are creating all the troubles. A man who trusts in God, he is the ideal man. He will never create any trouble
- The clear conception of life, how to serve God, Krsna, that is called bhagavata-dharma. This should be taught to the children. Otherwise it will be very difficult to drag him from this false engagement and again establish him to the Krsna's service
- The cloud is not big, as big as the sky. Similarly, the material world is also . . . it is insignificant in comparison to the spiritual world. Some portion of it is covered by maya just like this cloud
- The communists are first class disciples of Kali; therefore our attention should be more upon them because of their serious materialistic fever
- The conclusion is that spirit soul has form. As Krsna has got form, sac-cid-ananda-vigraha (Bs. 5.1), similarly spirit soul, jivatma, being part and parcel of Krsna, it has got form
- The conclusion is that the soul is important more than the body. Then the question will be that "Why you love the soul?" Then the answer will be, Because the soul is part and parcel of Krsna
- The conclusion is that when this body will be no more fit for existing we shall have to accept another body. This is called tatha dehantara-praptih. So we have to change. That is nature's law. The soul is immortal
- The conclusion should be to take authoritative knowledge from authorities - one who is beyond the four defects of common man: one who does not make any mistake, one who is not illusioned, one who does not cheat, and one whose senses are perfect
- The consciousness is developing from the lowest status of living condition, aquatic, then plants, trees, then insects, flying insects, then birds, then four-legged beasts, so many, then two hands, two legs, gorilla
- The consciousness is distributed throughout your whole body. That we can make an experiment. But this consciousness is not, I mean to . . . spread over all the cosmic manifestation. That is also a fact
- The constant symptom of the spiritual master is that he can deliver his disciple from the blazing fire of this material existence. That is the eternal qualification of the spiritual master
- The constitution of manava-dharma or the institution of varnasrama must be interesting for the whole world, and it should be exemplified by practical demonstration
- The constitutional position of the living entities are that he is eternally servant of God. That is his position. He's meant for that purpose, but he forgets
- The cow is also national, you are also national, but the law is the cow is to be sent to the slaughterhouse. Therefore they have been all described as mudha, rascals, only rascals. Except a Krsna conscious person, all persons are rascals
- The cow protection is recommended because it has got the miracle food, milk, and from milk you can prepare hundreds of preparation, all nutritious, full of vitamin A and D
- The cows; the calves; the friends; the gopis and the cowherds boy; Krsna's father, Nanda Maharaja; Krsna's mother, Yasomati; and. . . Everyone's center is Krsna: "How Krsna will be happy?" This is Vrndavana life
- The Darwin's theory of evolution is little idea. It is theory; it is not a fact. But actual fact is, as it is stated, dehantara-praptir. The soul is one, but it is transmigrating from one body to another. This is the fact
- The day and night, the seasonal changes, the equator, the temperature, then the moonlight, the other planets, we living beings, the vegetables - everything is complete by God, and because the sun is there

- The definition of God is already given, that God is controller but He is not controlled

- The Deity should be very nicely decorated so layman like us may be attracted by the beauty of Radha-Krsna. Gradually, he will forget to see any other beauty. This is the practice of indriyarthesu
- The demon, even with high educational qualification, he is rascal
- The demoniac say chemical evolution. They cannot think of spirit
- The demons are bound up by material desires, and the devotees, apparently there is desire, but there is no bondage. This is the difference. There is no bondage. Sarvopadhi-vinirmuktam tat-paratvena nirmalam
- The demons are trying to save in so many ways and engage the duration of life, as much as possible, varieties of sense gratification. This is demon
- The demons do like that, tapasya for living ever. But they will not take the real method of tapasya, to purify. Their real aim is this material world, and here they want to become immortal. That is their foolishness
- The demons don't know that after this body is finished, everything. So here is an opportunity to enjoy sense gratification. Therefore they are manufacturing so many varieties of sense gratification. They have no hope
- The demons, they're also desiring, but baddhah: they are becoming conditioned. But a devotee, he's also desiring, but he's mukta, means liberated
- The description of the spiritual world is that there is no rajas-tamah. These modes of passion and modes of ignorance is not there. Suddha-sattva. Suddha-sattva means simply goodness, pure goodness, without any tinge of passion and ignorance
- The description of the Yamadutas is there, that twisted face and very ugly-looking, very fierceful, and with ropes in the hand. So naturally Ajamila was very afraid
- The devotee follows the best yoga system of God-realization, which is enunciated in the Bhagavad-gita. His activities are not selfishly motivated, aimed at realizing his own cherished dreams, but are directed toward fulfilling the will of God
- The devotee of God is also God. Just like we chanted this mantra, saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastraih, that "In every scripture the spiritual master is identified as directly God." Saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastraih
- The devotee says: "I do not want to understand God. I want to worship Nanda Maharaja, under whose . . . in the courtyard of his house the Para-brahman is crawling." That is, I mean to say, superior position of Nanda Maharaja
- The devotee, or the man who is established in relationship with God, his expenditure will be different. His expenditure will be not for sense gratification - for advancement of God consciousness. That is the ideal man
- The devotees know, what is this value of this materialistic advancement. People are not happy actually
- The devotees, or Vaisnavas, are the most compassionate, saintly souls, and thus they ardently desire to deliver the fallen living entities. The Supreme Lord always responds to the desires of these Vaisnavas

- The devotees, they work for Super - self-interest. There is self, but it is Super - self-interest. And the karmis, jnanis, yogis, they work for individual self-interest. Self-interest there must be
- The dictionary definition, sentimentalism is the faith
- The dimension of the spirit soul is very small. It is one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair. Everything is there. So such minute particle is so powerful that it is managing the body of the elephant and it is managing the body of the ant
- The disciple also, he must have also qualification to approach a spiritual master. It is not that because you have got a bona fide spiritual master, therefore you will be benefited. You must be also qualified

- The fact is this: "How one can become my enemy? If I am Krsna's servant, how one can become my enemy? If one is acting as my enemy, it is Krsna's desire. I have got some defect, and He is correcting me." Therefore it is called samah sarvesu bhutesu
- The faithless atheist class, they say, "There is no God." But let him chant the God's holy name, he'll see God. There is no difficult process in the Kali-yuga especially

- The father is seeing that the small child is trying to walk and trying to talk with the father in broken language, and he is observing very minutely, and mumude, he was enjoying. So you can have the idea of enjoyment
- The father is the bijam. He gives the semina, and mother is the source of birth
- The father's, mother's duty is the same, apavarga-vartmani. Apavarga-vartmani: to give education in such a way that no more pavarga. No more parisrama, no more phena, no more bhaya, no more vyarthata, no more marana. That is called apavarga-vardhanam
- The father, mother knows what does he want, how he will be happy. That is the duty of the father and mother
- The favorable wind is blowing by this instruction of the Vedas, and there are many stalwart acaryas who are just like the captain, and this human body is just like a good ship
- The field or the earth is not exploding with the vegetation. It is due to the sunshine. Therefore it is coming out. It is the real cause. Similarly, accepting that chunk, the total material energy, it is agitated by the glance of Maha-Visnu

- The form of the spirit which we are actually: kesagra-sata-bhagasya satadha kalpitasya ca. Kesa means the hair, the upper portion of your hair. When it is divided into ten thousand part & just imagine, that one part is the spiritual atom. It is so small

- The Gosvamis, they were ministers. They were not ordinary men, Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami. Practically they were governing the whole affairs of government at that time, a very exalted post
- The government can give you the law book. You consult and do accordingly, you’ll be happy. And if you don’t, against, the government man is not coming to stop you. You do, and suffer
- The government is responsible if the son dies before the father. Naturally, the father is older than the son, so he must die first. So such responsible government was there. Now, in the civilized world, anyone can be killed by anyone, but nobody cares
- The government should take up, American government, and cooperate with us, teach the people the science of God. Then it will be a great, benevolent welfare activity. Simply giving their money to the poor, to the needy, will not help

- The great power. Mattah parataram nanyat (BG 7.7). There is no more greater power than Him. That is His position

- The human form of life is a chance for the living entity to escape the entanglement of material existence. In the human form of life one can conquer the enemy, lust, by culture of Krsna consciousness under able guidance
- The human life is meant for inquiring, "Where is God?" That is human life. Not "Where is stool?" That is hog's business. So we should not encourage this hog civilization
- The human life's business is to accept tapasya, voluntarily accepting some inconvenience of life. That is called tapasya
- The human society, they should be advanced so much that even the birds, they have nothing to kill for their eating. They have got sufficient food. And we are advanced human being, we are killing for eating instead of God giving us so much food

- The Jain sannyasis, they never use cars. Now they have begun. Because I am traveling all over the world, now the Jains, they are also. But our philosophy is different. We are preaching Krsna consciousness
- The jina means the deerskin. That is very essential, because formerly the brahmacaris used to go to guru-grha. In those days the guru-grha was not palatial building. Now if you haven't got palatial building, nobody will come

- The Krsna consciousness is dovetailing ourself with the spiritual energy and thus become perfect. And this human form of life is meant for that purpose. So we are following the six Gosvamis
- The ksatriyas, they will administer and see that the people are executing actually religious life. That is the duty of the state
- The kunjas in Vrndavana, there are nine bushes, so the gopis are helping to attract meeting of Radha and Krsna in those kunjas. They are personally not interested to meet with Krsna directly; they want to see Radha and Krsna meet, and they enjoy

- The land is lying vacant, and they are making two governors, five commissioners, six ministers and . . . drawing fat salary. This is government

- The law of gravitation, the so-called scientists' imagination, does not act when Urukrama, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, acts
- The leaders are blind and they are leading other blind men. So it is a very dangerous civilization. In spite of being born in India, in spite of having the privilege of studying Bhagavad-gita, they are not taking advantage of it
- The leaders of the society, if they are serious about advancement of human civilization, they must take to Krsna consciousness, or God consciousness; otherwise, they'll be baffled
- The leaders of the society, they should take very serious attention how you can improve the social condition of this world. Not only here; everywhere

- The living entities, they become affected by the presence of maya. Krsna is not affected
- The living entity has infected itself with the material disease. It has to be cured. That is the whole purpose of Vedic civilization, how to cure your material disease
- The living entity is very minute particle of God, but in the spiritual world everyone is aware of his position. The living entities, they know, "What is my position? I am a small particle of God." Therefore there is no disagreement
- The living entity, he is part and parcel of God, but someone has become human beings, some has become cats, someone has become tree, some as insects, some as demigods - varieties. Because they wanted to become like that, and God has given him the chance

- The marriage is in the human society, not in the dog society. So if one has illicit sex, that means he is no better than dog
- The Marwaris in India, they don't educate their son. Just like Birla. They say: We can purchase these rascals. Why we should waste our time? So-called technicians, so-called expert computer, these are . . . we can purchase. Why we shall waste our time
- The master is trying to exploit the servant, and the servant is trying to exploit the master. So here, that master and servant is there, but both of them are cheaters and cheated. That's all
- The material elements are described, the mind, intelligence and false ego. What's the . . . what is that mind, you know, that material mind? In other words, there's a spiritual mind and a material mind
- The material existence is compared with blazing forest fire. This is the right comparison, because in the forest nobody goes to set fire, but it takes place. You cannot stop it
- The material means sex desire. That's all. The woman is hunting after man, and the man is hunting after woman. Either in human society or bird society or beast society or dog society or cat society, the principle is sex
- The material nature has always existed. It was never created, and it will never be annihilated, and there is no other cause. It's simply an eternal fact
- The maya is also in the heart. How it is? The same thing: I am servant, but I am thinking I am master. This is maya
- The Mayavadi philosophy is that maya also covers Krsna. When Krsna comes here, He comes covered by this maya. No. This is not. Maya cannot touch
- The Mayavadis, they think that, "Make me zero, void. Then there will be no pains and pleasure, no embarrassment." Their philosophy is like that. Impersonal, that is also the same thing. Or void. Voidism, the same thing, Make it zero
- The means is also Krsna, and the end is also Krsna. That is Absolute. Absolute . . . we must have clear conception of what is the Absolute. In any circumstances, the quality of the Absolute remains the same

- The method is simple: chant the holy name of God. If you have got any name, you chant. We preach this. We don't say that you chant "Krsna." If you have got any name, God's name, then chant that

- The mind wants, "Now let me go to the restaurant." "No, sir." Beat him with shoes. Instead of going to the restaurant, he beats the mind with shoes. Then mind will not again say: "Go to the restaurant." That is called svami, gosvami
- The miseries of birth, the miseries of death and the miseries of old age and miseries of diseases - we have to suffer. And as soon as you get spiritual body, all these miseries over
- The mistake is continuing forever, because you'll find the varieties of living entities ever existing. Therefore the mistake is permanent. So when it is permanent, it is not mistake; it is intelligence
- The modern civilization is practically . . . they are evading, evading the real sufferings. They are engaged in temporary sufferings
- The modern civilization is that "Eat, drink, be merry and enjoy. Do not care for what is future life." That is condemned civilization. We should know that there is future life, there is birth after death, and we must be prepared
- The modern civilization, they do not take care of this Vedic information, neither they have got any sufficient knowledge how these 8,400,000 species of life are becoming possible. They have no science
- The modern man does not know. They are neither educated about this pravrtti and nivrtti. And we are speaking on nivrtti, and all of them are in the pravrtti. So they cannot understand. It is foreign to them. They have no idea what is spiritual life
- The modern scientists say that, "Chemical evolution, by combination of chemicals, everything has come out, but there is no creator." They will deny this. This is the symptom of the asura
- The modern theory that life is made possible by chemical evolution is not correct. Or the Darwin's Theory, evolution of matter. No. The . . . they are missing the soul
- The monkey's business was not to imitate the sawman, but he wanted to imitate. The result was that he was killed
- The monkey's duty is no duty. A man must know what is duty, and he should execute
- The more one advances in bhakti-yoga, he is become humbler, because he has nothing to do with this material world
- The more we advance in so-called material happiness or material advancement, the more we forget our real identity. This is the result
- The more we become advanced in understanding God, KC, then we are human being. And if we are more advanced, then you are devata, demigods. And when you more make advance, then you become fit for going back to home, back to Godhead. This is the process
- The more we engage our time, nityam bhagavata-sevaya, the dirty things becomes cleansed, gradually. Just like when you are hungry, you are given foodstuff, you eat. The more you eat, your hunger is satisfied. You'll feel strength
- The more you become spiritualized, so the material heaviness is diminished
- The more you chant, the more you become spiritually advanced. This is called anandambudhi-vardhanam. Otherwise, how one can be satisfied simply by chanting, chanting Hare Krsna
- The more you remain strong in your spiritual life, then more it will be impressed, it will act. And if it actually is not spiritual life but theatrical performance, then it will not help

- The most wonderful thing that we have experienced, that "My father is dead, my father's father is dead, so I shall also be, die." Who will stay? Where is the struggle for existence, survival of the fittest? He never thinks. This is the eighth wonder

- The mother's name is Devahuti. And the son is celebrated as "Son of Devahuti." The son is famous with the mother's name. And mother is taking instruction from the son. This is ideal society
- The natural conclusion is: as there was no such religion three thousand years and the Vedic religion has no history - it is coming from time immemorial - that was the religion
- The nature brings you from the aquatics, I was just stating, from the fish life, to plant life, to vegetable life, to . . . in this way 2,000,000's forms, gradually. This is called evolution - one after another
- The nature of this material world is like that. It is a false, or temporary, representation

- The only disqualification - that he is not a devotee of the Lord - that makes everything null and void

- The original position is that we are all part and parcel of Krsna, God. Mamaivamso jiva-bhutah (BG 15.7). Amsa. Amsa, not the full, not the whole. Part cannot be equal to the whole, but if the part is always attached to the whole, it has got value
- The original source of birth, the source of maintenance, the source of growth, the source of development and the source of dwindling, and after all, vanishing, or the conservation of the vanishing elements, everything is the Supreme Brahman

- The point is that here the sex life is the highest pleasure, and in the spiritual world there is no sex. So what is that pleasure? That pleasure is this chanting and dancing, Hare Krsna maha-mantra. That is stated in the sastra
- The point is that in spite of educational advancement, in spite of economic development, in spite of historical oneness, why we are fighting with one another? That is the question. That answer is given in the Vedic literature. What is that?

- The present blunt senses, material senses, all are imperfect. Even we hear the Lord's name, namadi, atah sri-krsna-namadi . . . just like we are chanting. One who is spiritually advanced, he's enjoying this Hare Krsna, Krsna's name
- The present religious system of the world, all of them originated from India. The principal religions of the world, namely the Christian religion, the Buddha religion, the Hindu religion, even Muhammadan religion, originally it came from India
- The present situation is the so-called modern civilization, they have no knowledge of God, although they are trying to study the laws of God
- The priest, they get some money and they want to continue their church business to get some money. So this is going on, cheating and cheated. Therefore the society has become the full of cheaters and cheated
- The priestly order, they think, "As others make some money by working hard, by professional or by doing some business or working, so we shall also earn some money by showing the church or the temple or the mosque." They have taken it like that

- The real aim of life is how to go back to home, back to Godhead

- The real disease, as we have already explained, is to lord it over the material nature
- The real doctor is he who can cure material disease. What do you think

- The sakama-karmis are greedy after insignificant, transient happiness. They make progress in their mundane activities and enjoy the heavenly planets in the life hereafter, but all that enjoyment is temporary. Therefore the soul's real benefit evades them
- The Sankirtan devotees are very very dear to Krishna. Because you are doing the field work of book distribution, Krishna has immediately recognized them as true servants
- The sastra says to protect yourself, that is a . . . what is called? In English there is a proverb: "Self-preservation is the first law of nature"? What is that? So self means soul. Your soul may not fall down. That is your first business
- The sastra says, tasmad gurum prapadyeta jijnasuh sreyah uttamam. One should accept guru when he is inquisitive, jijnasuh. What about? Sreyah uttamam. The Absolute or the auspicity beyond this material world. Uttamam. Tamah means darkness, ignorance

- The so-called scientists, philosophers, they're all sudras because they say, "We have discovered something," and after few years, "Oh, it is now useless. Another theory." Sudra
- The so-called yoga, so-called meditation, they are all rascaldom. Because there is no engagement. Here there is engagement. Here everyone is engaged to rise early in the morning for offering aratrika to the Deity
- The so-called yogis, karmis, they are all cheaters. They show some bodily gymnastic and talks all nonsense, becomes God within a week or six months. These things are going on
- The social institution known as varnasrama dharma, the institution dividing society into four divisions or castes, is not meant to divide human society according to birth. Such divisions are in terms of educational qualifications
- The society requires to train a certain class of men to become brahmin. Just like we are training the Krsna conscious. The Krsna consciousness is meant for the brahmins. They are not meant for fighting
- The soul is being carried by the mind, ego and intelligence. You cannot see it, but you have to understand by hearing from the authorities like Krsna
- The soul is immortal because it has no principle of corruption in it
- The soul is immortal. Na jayate na mriyate va kadacit na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). The soul is not finished; simply a particular type of body being finished
- The soul is important because it is eternal, na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). Don't think by the end of the body the soul is also ended. It will continue
- The soul is important, not this body. But the modern civilization, accepting this body as the important, and they have no information of the driver, soul
- The soul is important. And if you can study the soul, then you can understand what is God
- The soul is important. One who does not know the soul, his all activities are defeat
- The soul is never annihilated. Avyayam: indestructible, immutable. So Krsna is explaining in different ways the nature of the soul. We have to take it seriously, then we get perfect knowledge
- The soul is spirit, and the body is matter. But when you attain a body like Krsna's, that means that is spiritual body. There is no difference between the soul and the body
- The soul is within this body. He is transmigrating from one type of body to another. This is fact. If we ponder over it, we shall find it is fact. So we take it as it is. That is our method of knowledge. Very simple
- The source of birth is called yoni. So yoni is there, the earth. But who begotten this? There must be father. Because we, our experience, without father and mother there is no generation
- The special advantage of this human form of life - Prahlada Maharaja says - although it is adhruvam, it will not stay, but arthadam, you can have your real interest fulfilled
- The speculation business is useless in spiritual advance. It may help Darwin to come to the conclusion that man is born from monkey. Because he is from monkey, he thinks others also from monkey
- The spirit soul is a fact. And everyone can understand by the presence of consciousness. Any child can understand. The consciousness is the symptom of the spirit soul
- The spirit soul is within your heart. It is situated there. But it is so powerful that its light is spread all over this body so that wherever you pinch, you feel, by consciousness
- The spiritual life means . . . if one is actually situated in spiritual life he'll get spiritual pleasure, transcendental bliss, by serving more and more, new and new. That is spiritual life
- The spiritual master's action is that he is to deliver his disciple from the blazing fire of this material existence. Samsara-davanala
- The spiritual path is to follow the footprints of predecessors, great acaryas who has realized. Then you become perfect. Not imitate, but to follow
- The spiritual senses, that is real sense. Do you follow what I say? You have got ear, but when the spirit soul is out of your body, in spite of possessing this physical ear, you cannot hear
- The spiritual side importance-giving means one has to see how much important this human life is
- The spiritual sound, it is released from many, many millions and millions and trillions of miles away, still it can be heard, provided you have got the machine to capture it. That is bhagavata-prema
- The spiritual world and the material world, both of them are creation or emanation, mattah sarvam pravartate, from God. But the light energy is more perfect
- The spiritual world is at least three times greater than this material world. That information we get from Bhagavad-gita
- The spiritual world is eternal. The material world is temporary. We are spirit soul. We are eternal. Therefore our business is to go back to the spiritual world, not that we remain in the material world and change body from bad to worse
- The standard of morality, Arjuna's activity of killing was immoral. Morality, immorality, this is all creation of mind. Real purpose of life: to serve the order of Krsna. That is real morality
- The state orders you to fight, so you are fighting, you are killing so many men. There is no reaction. But without state's order if you kill one man, immediately becomes a murderer. There is reaction immediately. This is very simple to understand
- The stomach says: Because I am not eating. So if you want to remain strong, then you must give me to eat
- The subtle body with the semina of the father, it is injected in the mother's womb, and then again you will develop another body. This is the process of transmigration
- The success of human form of life is to understand this thing: our relationship with God. And we should act in relationship with God. Then our success of life will be achieved. This is the main purpose of Krsna consciousness movement
- The sudras cannot learn all these Veda. Because sudras have no right to understand Vedic knowledge. It is meant for the brahmanas, ksatriyas. Even not for the vaisyas
- The sudras, they have to qualify themselves in one, that’s all. What is that one? Simply to serve the master faithfully. That’s all. Paricaryatmakam karma sudrasyapi svabhava-jam
- The sun is not fixed up; sun is moving. The modern scientists or astronomers, they say, "Sun is fixed up. The earth is moving." So we don't say that
- The sun is rising exactly in the time; the moon is rising exactly in the time; they are illuminating; they are appearing, disappearing; everything is going on, seasonal changes - so if things are going on so nicely, how you can say: God is dead
- The sun is rising in time, the moon is rising in time, the seasonal changes are taking place in time, the planets are moving. Everything is in order. How you can say that God is dead
- The sun, take lesson from the sun. What is that? That yac-caksur esa, this is God's eyes. As soon as there is sunlight, you see everything. You cannot avoid His eyes. You think that "Nobody's here. Let me steal this." No. Immediately recorded
- The sunlight is also emanating from that light which is emanating from that Goloka Vrndavana. That is the real light, which is called brahma-jyoti
- The sunshine is all-pervading over the universe. It is not imagination. We get from Vedic information. It is said, yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anda-koti (Bs. 5.40). This is brahma-jyotir
- The sunshine, sunrise and sunset, means decreasing our life. It is very nice example. The sun's business is to take away a portion of your span of life. But he cannot take away the portion of the life of a devotee. Because a devotee is going to live
- The Supersoul does not become affected by the material qualities, but the individual soul, they are affected by the material qualities, sattva-guna, rajo-guna, tamo-guna. But the Supersoul is above these gunas always
- The Supersoul is overlooking the activities of the jiva soul & according to his karma, He is giving a different type of body. Again he is working. Again he is creating another situation. This vast knowledge is unknown to the modern educational department
- The Supreme Consciousness, Krsna, as Paramatma. He is arranging everything through the material energy
- The supreme controller is Krsna. Here the so-called controller is controlled by somebody else. I may control my disciples, but I am controlled by somebody else, by my spiritual master. So nobody can say that, "I am the absolute controller." No
- The Supreme Controller's order is, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekamsaranam vraja (BG 18.66): You simply surrender unto Me, I take charge of you
- The Supreme Person who is simply controller but He is never controlled by anyone. That is Krsna
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead does not require any service. He is already satisfied by His own opulence
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead, He is never become affected by the material nature. This is the general description of the purusa and purusottama
- The symptom of Kali-yuga is disagreement, fight, quarrel. Kali means this quarreling, fighting, unnecessarily fighting
- The symptoms of Kali-yuga have already begun, five thousand years past. And it will increase
- The symptoms of possessing soul is the same four formulas - eating, sleeping, mating and defending. The animals also busy in these four things, we are also busy in these four things. Then where is the difference between animal and me
- The system of civilization who is encouraging them to do this without any information, what kind of condemned civilization is that? Pulling by force to the darkest region of hell. They do not know, although the hellish condition of life is in the front
- The system which makes these two sanatana, God and the living entity, meet again and they go back to enjoy life in the spiritual world, that system is called sanatana-dharma
- The temple is meant for giving chances to the nondevotees. Some way or other, if he comes in the temple, bows down, dances with us, takes the prasadam, takes caranamrta, that means he is becoming spiritually advanced
- The thing is that if you don't receive the mantra through the proper channel, it may not be mantra
- The thoughts which you are maintaining during your lifetime, if that thought becomes prominent - naturally it becomes - at the time of death, then you are going to get a similar body
- The three upper classes, brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, especially the brahmana - they are considered the topmost - they have got Visnu worship at home. Still in all brahmanas family, ancestral salagrama-sila is worshiped in a brahmana family
- The tongue dictates, "Bring tea," "Bring coffee," "Bring cigarette." Therefore the tongue is very formidable enemy of this human being, if you indulge
- The tongue engagement is you chant the holy name of the Lord, and you take the prasadam, remnants of foodstuff given to the Lord. Then you become self-realized, God realized. By these two method
- The tongue is so formidable enemy, simply for tasting, they will commit so many sinful activities
- The torturing business of the demons is going on. Going on. As soon as the demons finds somebody little weak, they will torture. Weak in their way. A devotee is not weak, but they think that, These devotees, they are weak
- The transmigration of the soul means when the gross body stops. Just like when you sleep, your gross body is on the bed, but the subtle body takes you somewhere. So the transmigration of the soul takes place carried by the subtle body
- The tulasi flower, leaf is offered to Krsna, He becomes very pleased. Therefore we love tulasi, because He likes. In common word they say: If you love me, love my dog
- The ultimate goal of civilization should be, Aryan civilization, progressive civilization, how to understand Krsna. That is perfect civilization
- The universality of Caitanya Mahaprabhu's movement is such that anyone can become Krsna conscious, and anyone can accept or be elevated to the exalted post of gosvami, namacarya. Just like Haridasa Thakura
- The upasana, the worship which was invented by the gopis to worship Radha and Krsna, ramya kecid upasana, there is no more perfect upasana
- The Vaisnava devotees, they are not very much anxious to see God. They know, Why God shall come to me? He is so busy, He has got so many business. Let me do my duty
- The Vaisnava, he should be always careful not to intermingle, means not to take up their ideas and thoughts. No. That is vaisnava-acara. Asat-sanga-tyaga, ei vaisnava
- The Vedas says the stool of an animal is impure, but in another place it says that the stool of the cow animal is pure. So apparently we find contradiction. But still, because we accept the authority of the Vedas, therefore we accept the statement also
- The Vedas says, eko yo bahunam vidadhati kaman (Katha Upanisad 2.2.13). He's maintaining you. God is maintaining. That's a fact. We cannot maintain your, ourself. He has given heat, light, air, water, fruits, flowers, grains - everything
- The Vedas, there are three kandas; therefore Vedas' name is trayi. Trayi means there are three different phases of activities - karma-kanda, jnana-kanda and upasana-kanda. That is the teachings of the Vedic literature
- The Vedas, this knowledge, for whom? Is it for the cats and dogs? No. They cannot read. They cannot understand. It is meant for men, and especially civilized men. Not for the crude men in the jungle. Those who are civilized
- The Vedic civilization teaches that: Be satisfied with the minimum necessities of life. Don't increase unnecessary necessities of life
- The Vedic civilization, the brahmanas, they used to live in the forest, and the king would offer them some cows, so they will draw some milk. And in the forest there are fruits, so they will eat fruits and milk
- The Vedic conception is that the human society should be divided into four divisions, namely the brahmin, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra, natural division
- The Vedic information is called sruti. Just try to hear. You haven't got to be educated or literate. God has given you these two ears, and you can learn. Simply you have to learn from the authorized sources. Then you will understand God

- The Vedic information is when I understand I am aham brahmasmi, I am Brahman, or the spirit soul. That is my beginning of identification
- The Vedic information says that the Supreme Lord as Supersoul is sitting with you in the same tree. The individual soul and the Supersoul is sitting in the heart, and this body is considered as tree, and He is seeing your . . . my activities
- The Vedic information. Sa asrjata. We give seeds with a particular part of the body, but Maha-Visnu, simply by glancing over the material nature, mahat-tattva, He impregnates the material nature with so many living entities. Sa asrjata, sa aiksata
- The Vedic knowledge is infallible. It comes down through the perfect disciplic succession. Therefore Vedic knowledge is not a thing of research
- The Vedic language is called sruti. Sruti means hearing. It is not reading. Simply, pious students will hear from the right source. Evam parampara praptam imam rajarsayo viduh (BG 4.2). Simply by hearing, they will understand everything
- The Vedic literature, which is sung by Lord Brahma or Siva or a devotee, even that is broken language presented, tad grnanti srnvanti sadhavah: "They'll be accepted by saintly person. They'll sing it and they'll accept it." That is the secret of success
- The Vedic truth is there, but it is not properly explained because the men were fourth-class. Now the people have become advanced, they should take to Vedic literature
- The village bankers were these grocers, especially the gold merchants. Therefore the gold merchants were bankers and dealers in gold. Suvarna-vanik. They had position
- The voidists & impersonalists, because they have no information of the Supreme Lord and His activities. Krsna is coming, showing His activity. But they will say: "It is maya. Krsna is maya." Although Krsna is practically showing them that it is not maya

- The whole civilization is condemned and producing fourth-class men. And that's a fact
- The whole civilization is how to restrict this sex desire. Because the sex desire and sex life will keep him within this material world in different bodies, either as human being or as animal or as bird or as insect - so long there will be sex desire
- The whole civilization should be on the basis of understanding the soul. That is civilization
- The whole idea of human civilization should be how to push one to Krsna consciousness, to Visnu. Because they do not know, na te viduh svartha-gatim hi visnum (SB 7.5.31). The real interest is to approach Visnu, to go back to home, go back to Godhead
- The whole material world or any world, spiritual world, they are manifestation of the supreme energetic. The energies are coming
- The whole mission of human society should be how to prepare brahmana. Then peace and prosperity will be there
- The whole philosophy is Krsna consciousness. If the whole world - not whole world; even certain percentage of the population - becomes Krsna conscious, the face of the world changes
- The whole planetary system, the modern science says, the law of gravitation. But that is not very perfectly explained. We can question
- The whole process, Vedic system, is even if we are asuras, gradually by practice, by good association, by following the principles of sastra, we can become deva. So our this Krsna consciousness movement, actually we're doing that
- The whole so-called human society is combination of cheater and cheated. So anyone who is acting without Krsna consciousness, he is a cheater. And anyone who is thinking himself advanced without Krsna consciousness, he is cheated
- The whole spiritual life means to stop this birth, death, old age and disease; to get amrta, no more birth, no more death. That is the real aim of spiritual life
- The whole thing is made of these five elements - earth, water, air, fire - that's all. So why should you deny that "Fire - no living entities"? You cannot live in the fire; you cannot live in the water. Does it mean others cannot? This is foolishness
- The whole thing is managed by the law of gravitation, but when Krsna lifted the hill, there was no weight. He's not conditioned by the law of gravity. He can lift up

- The whole world is full of asuras, descendant of Hiranyakasipu, and it is very difficult. But if we give them chance to chant Hare Krsna mantra, gradually they will understand

- The whole world is now full of demons only. They are after money and women, that’s all

- The world is full of rascals and fourth-class men, that is our verdict, Krsna's verdict. A human being does not know God, he's no better than dog. He is dog
- The world is full of rascals, and the so-called leaders, they are big rascals, that's all. They cannot make any solution. Simply take salary. They are big rascals, and the small rascals accept them as leader. That's all
- The world is full of rascals. We must be very much pessimistic, not at all optimistic of this world. Unless you become pessimistic, you will not be able to go back to home
- The world is full of sinful reactions. If this sankirtana movement is pushed on there will be peace, there will be auspicity all over the world. It is not that we have introduced a new thing. It is sanctioned by the sastras & accepted by the authorities
- The world is going on, the material world, because the living entities in the attitude of becoming purusa, they are trying to exploit the resources of this material nature. This is going on

- There are 8,400,000 species of life, forms of life. You have to accept one of them. That is our real problem. If we forget the real problem and blindly or foolishly say that "God is dead . . ." God may be dead, but God's law is not dead

- There are four sampradayas: Brahma-sampradaya, Rudra-sampradaya, Kumara-sampradaya and Laksmi-sampradaya. And if we do not take either of these sampradayas in disciplic succession, then our attempt to advance in spiritual life will be failure

- There is another class, who are described in the Bhagavad-gita by Krsna Himself: veda-vada-ratah. They are simply unnecessarily fight on the basis of so-called Vedic knowledge. Vedic knowledge must be understood from the guru. That is injunction

- There is no comparison of Krsna's opulences. I have given the example. Say, in the human society there is marriage. So Krsna married 16,800 wives. And for each wife a palace, marble palace, bedecked with jewels, and the furniture made of ivory and gold
- There is no comparison of the method of worship which was adopted by the damsels of Vraja. Unalloyed love for Krsna

- There is no meaning of giving up spiritual cultivation & taking to or imitating something. This is called anartha. Anartha means unnecessarily you are inclined. So Srimad-Bhagavatam is meant for guiding us. Anartha-upasamam saksad bhakti-yogam adhoksaje
- There is no misuse by God or His devotee. There is no question of . . . that the devotee or God should not be angry; but they know how to use it. That is the difference. As God knows where to use anger, similarly, devotee should know where to use anger
- There is no monetary loss, but if you chant it, then you have got the greatest gain of life. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, param vijayate sri-krsna-sankirtanam: "All glory to the chanting of this holy name." Why? Now, because it cleanses the heart
- There is no more better form of worship than it was conceived by the damsels of Vraja. Srimad-bhagavatam amalam puranam. And the books, authoritative literature, to understand Krsna and His service is Srimad-Bhagavatam
- There is no need of a lamp to show the sun. The sun is self-effulgent. It is already there. Light is there. Why one should take a lamp to show the sun? This misinterpretation has killed the spirit, the real essence, of Bhagavad-gita
- There is no need of seeing. Simply from authoritative scripture, authoritative book, one can understand who is the presiding deity, who is ruling there, what is the condition. Everything is there in the scriptures and authorized books of Vedic literature

- There is no question of God, but with the gravitation why the green apple is not drawn downward

- There is no such distinction that one has to take the path of the renounced order of life. The real essence of our life should be how much we are Krsna conscious
- There is no such mention that the jiva is as good as the Supreme Lord. It is never stated. Amsa, minute particles. Just like the sun and the sunshine. Sunshine is combination of minute luminous molecular parts
- There is no taste for hearing krsna-katha. So such kind of education, advancement of civilization, is srama eva hi kevalam, simply wasting time
- There is no varnasrama; therefore all the children, they are varna-sankara. And as soon as there is varna-sankara population, the world becomes hell. Therefore we are trying to check, "No illicit sex" - to stop this varna-sankara
- There is nothing cheap, that simply by pressing nose and eyes and you become God. Don't make compromise. This principle must be observed. Then you'll remain strong. As soon as you make compromise, then it is finished
- There is nothing superior than Krsna. If you accept that, you immediately advance fifty percent in spiritual knowledge, if you simply accept this, that Krsna said that mattah parataram nanyat kincid asti dhananjaya. And that is the verdict of the sastra
- There is one example. Just like the cat - the cat carries the kitties in the mouth, and it carries a mouse also in the mouth. Apparently it is seen that a cat is carrying its kitties in the mouth means it is in pain. But it is not in pain. That is a fact
- There is practically no qualified brahmin, neither a qualified brahmin is respected. Vittam eva. But if one has got money, then he'll be respected. This is the symptom of Kali-yuga
- There is Ramayana, there is Mahabharata, immense literature, full of Vedic literature. So one should try to understand this literature. They are meant for the human being

- There is rising of the rogues and thieves. And they're enjoying fat salary
- There is said that meditation was possible in the Satya-yuga, when people were cent per cent pure. And they are . . . for the present, mostly, people are impure. So they cannot execute meditation as it is described in the standard scriptures
- There is something. What is that something? That you have to learn from the authority, Krsna
- There is standard aims and objects on which the people should be trained up. That is varnasrama-dharma
- There is stringent laws of the material nature everywhere, and there is God behind him, behind the nature. Mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa-caracaram (BG 9.10)
- There is the question of needy men. So we invite any needy man to come and join with us, and we shall feed him. That's all. We invite anyone

- There is way to understand why God is trustworthy. It's not the question of faith. It is a fact
- There may be mosquito biting or bugs biting or something in the belly troubling, crying. Mother is trying to pacify, but we are crying, crying. We cannot express. So these are the miserable condition of life
- There may be so many so-called religious system, but the real religious system is what is spoken by God Himself
- There must be an institution to educate a brahmana, to educate ksatriya. That is required. Catur-varnyam maya srstam. If you don't do it, if you simply produce sudras, bolt-nut manufacturers, technicians, then how you can be happy
- There must be evidences how God incarnates. Not that somebody by worshiping a demigod becomes God. So many false propaganda is going on. That is not logical at all
- There must be one srestha, ideal man, and then everyone will follow. And there is no srestha. That is the difficulty
- There must be some proprietor. So who is that proprietor? Krsna says, "I am the proprietor." You have to know it, whether Krsna is not proprietor. He says, "I am proprietor," but if you are doubtful, prove that He is not proprietor. That you cannot do
- There must be vegetation. So where those vegetation gone? All false propaganda
- There should be an educational department to understand what is soul, what it is nature, how it is working, what is the future, wherefrom it is coming. So many things there. But there is no education for this prime factor
- There should be educational department to create first-class men by all these qualities: how to become controller of the mind, how to become controller of the senses, how to become cleansed, bahyabhyantaram, inside clean and outside clean, saucam
- There should not be any motive. That is, you should be very careful. Anyabhilasita-sunyam (Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.1.11), no motive. Bhakti, bhaja-dhatu, simply pure desire, "How I shall serve Krsna?" Then he is mukta. Immediately he is liberated

- These acarya and president, they are less than paid servant. They are afraid of
- These actions (so-called society, friendship and love) are, I mean to say, performed even by so-called learned man. Actually, one who is not spiritually learned, one who is not spiritually conversant, he is not a learned man
- These are material opulences: high parentage, great riches and great learning and great beauty. These four things are material opulences
- These are the different steps, how one person can become civilized. So first thing is tapasa. Tapasa brahmacaryena (SB 6.1.13), austerities. Therefore in the Vedic civilization the children, they are taught from the very beginning brahmacarya
- These are the duties of the brahmana. To give proper education, he himself should be properly educated. That is called brahminical culture. And we offer our respect to Krsna because He gives the brahminical culture. Namo brahmanya-devaya

- These are the inquiries, tattva-jijnasa. But they are not interested, neither educational department nor any other department. They are simply interested, Where is money? Where is money? Where is money
- These are the Vedic information. God means na tasya karyam karanam ca vidyate. He has nothing to do; He has simply to desire. I think in Christian Bible also it is said, "God said, 'Let there be creation,' and there was creation." He has to simply desire
- These are the verdict of the sastra. When our heart is cleansed, then we can accept this religion, sarva-dharman parityajya. This is the religion. To accept Krsna, to surrender to the lotus feet of Krsna, this is religion
- These are to be practiced. Etan vegan yo visaheta dhirah (NOI 1): "One who has become successful in controlling the urges of all these things," prthivim sa sisyat, "now he's free to make disciples all over the world
- These are very old questions. These are not very intelligent questions. God is not creating. God is giving you chance. The conditioned souls who are not with Krsna, they wanted to enjoy this material world. Therefore God is giving them chance
- These blunt senses, they cannot appreciate what is Krsna. Yogamaya-samavrtah. He's covered. To the nondevotees, He is covered. To the devotees - sevonmukhe hi jihvadau svayam eva (CC Madhya 17.136) - He reveals: Yes, I am here like this
- These boys & girls & others, they are chanting Hare Krsna practically from early in the morning, five o'clock, till ten o'clock daily, but nobody is feeling any disgust. They like to chant. That is the difference between material sound & spiritual sound
- These boys and girls, they're getting some pleasure, transcendental pleasure. Therefore they're dancing. It is not that the dog-dance. It is really spiritual dance, the soul's dance. Therefore, He's called rasa-vigraha, reservoir of all pleasure.
- These boys, they haven't got to eat anything; therefore they are chanting Hare Krsna on the street. That's all." They think like that. "They're needy. All right, they are needy. Give them some money." That's all
- These dances, they are not artificial. They feel some transcendental bliss, therefore they dance. It is not they are dancing dog. No. They dance from the spiritual platform
- These gopis, they were not supposed to be educated. Village girls - who is giving them education? They are not Ph.D.'s. But still, strong desire for Krsna. And that is called yesam nirbandhini matih
- These karmis? They have no hope. Simply wild goat chasing, that's all. They do not know what is the aim of life. Na te viduh svartha-gatim hi visnum (SB 7.5.31). They do not know the real aim of life is to satisfy Visnu, svartha-gatim. Yajna
- These lusty desires, unless you live a very regulated life, it will be duspuram, it will never be fulfilled - always desire, always desire. So these demons, they accept the shelter of lusty desire which will never be fulfilled, will never be satiated
- These mahajanas, as they have prescribed, that is the real way for understanding Krsna, or spiritual service. So we are following the Brahma-sampradaya, the first, Svayambhu. Brahma. Brahma, then Narada; from Narada, Vyasadeva. In this way
- These material elements, gross and subtle, they are apara, inferior. You cannot manufacture life by this inferior way. Otherwise, the so-called scientists would have manufactured long, long ago
- These materialistic person, demons, their desires are never fulfilled - increasing, increasing, increasing; more, more more. So that means, increasing means, we are becoming implicated more and more
- These mundane, blunt senses - they cannot receive or understand what is Krsna, what is Krsna's name, what is Krsna's form, what is Krsna's pastimes, what is Krsna's paraphernalia - so many things Krsna's . . . what is Krsna's word
- These people are, all over the world, they are in darkness. It is not partiality, because I am Indian, but actually it is a fact. A Chinese Communist, he wrote a book, I saw it. He has written that, If you want to know about religion, then go to India
- These philosophers theorizing so many "I believe." So these things will not do. These things will not do. That is useless, simply waste of time. You must know there is God. How we can deny it? There is supreme power. I am being controlled every moment
- These present blunt senses, material senses, cannot receive even this chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra
- These professional Bhagavata means they immediately begin to recite rasa-lila. Bhagavata reading dissertation means rasa-lila. And people take in a different way, that Krsna was woman-hunter
- These rascal speculation of God is like the speculation of the frog about Atlantic Ocean. Mundane philosopher, scientist, they are thinking of God in that way, the Dr. Frog's philosophy. Dr. Frog's philosophy will not help you to understand what is God
- These rascal think, that, "If I commit suicide, and just have a knife on my throat, then all my pains & pleasures finished." No, he will be put into more pains and pleasure. Sometimes we'll have to accept - why "accept"; it is certain - the ghostly body
- These rascals are so dull-headed that they have no even logical arguments. Where are the points of similarity, that we are comparing these lusty affairs of this material world with the affairs of Krsna and the gopis
- These rascals, simply they are depending on their blunt senses, these stupids, so-called scientist. Therefore they're stupid. They simply believe on their eyes. They do not know how much defective these eyes and senses are
- These rascals, they are thinking, "I am free." No. Nobody is free. But because we are not free, that does not mean there is no freedom. There is freedom. That is not in this world. That is in the spiritual world
- These rascals, they do not know that their real interest is to satisfy Visnu. They think, "Some way or other if I can satisfy my senses, then my life is perfect." But you cannot satisfy your senses without satisfying the Lord's sense
- These sahajiyas, they are going on in the name of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu: aula, baula, kartta-bhaja, neda, daravesa, sani sahajiya, sakhibheki, like that, so many. They are apa-sampradaya
- These six Gosvamis, they have given immense literature. And all of them established one temple in Vrndavana. You have seen, Kirtanananda Maharaja, the Radha-Ramana temple. Radha-Ramana temple, that is Gopala Bhatta Gosvami's
- These so-called scientists, they are simply wasting their time by so-called research work. There is nothing to be researched. Everything is there
- These things have to be studied very scientifically and from books like Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, and when he is perfectly learned, then his symptom is that he becomes a pure devotee of Krsna
- These three classes of men - rich, middle class and poor - everywhere, either it is rich country or poor country. Then we have to accept: by nature it is so arranged that these three classes of men will exist
- These three things required. One must find out a suitable person where to put your question, and the question should be put by surrender and service. Then the science of God will be learnt
- These trees and plants, they have to stand up on this; they are called sthavara. Those who can move, they are called jangama, sthavara-jangama. That is very scientifically
- These two things required: knowledge and detachment. Knowledge means that "I am not this body," and detachment means "I am not this body; therefore I have nothing to do with this material world
- These words are used in the Vedic language: isvara, paramesvara; atma, paramatma. So there is one Paramatma. That Paramatma is Krsna. We are atma, living being, & Krsna is also living being. But we are not equal to Krsna. Krsna is the chief living being
- They (foolish men) cannot understand that Krsna spoke this Bhagavad-gita millions of years ago to the sun-god. We immediately say: "Oh, these are all story." But it is not story. It is fact
- They (some rascal philosophers) propagate this philosophy that "Unless you are bodily stout and strong, you cannot achieve spiritual salvation. You must be very strong and stout and eat meat and fight, and then you'll get next spiritual birth." No
- They (the brahma-jnana, brahma-bhuta) have nothing to do with this material world. Na socati na kanksati. Then he can see everyone on the equal level, samah sarvesu bhutesu
- They always engaged them in chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra. Utkirtana, very loudly. Krsnotkirtana-gana-nartanau-parau, dancing also. Just like here the boys, they are chanting and dancing. This is very good, following the footsteps of the Gosvamis
- They are advertising humanitarian work, philanthropic work, Communism, this "ism," but when there is question of bodily relationship, immediately everything is changed
- They are all married couples. I got them married. Yes. I got them married. They're young boys, all within thirty. My oldest disciple, he is twenty-eight. Otherwise, twenty-five, twenty-four. Utmost thirty
- They are becoming more perfect means they are imperfect. Becoming more perfect means their always position is imperfect
- They are big, big scientists, philosophers, and cheating others. They are unable to understand, themselves, and the same rascal knowledge they are distributing to others & taking Nobel Prize. This is the mudhas, the society of the cheaters & the cheated
- They are criticizing in India that I am giving a brahmana's position to these mlecchas and yavanas. You should be very careful so that we may not be subjected to criticism
- They are imagining, "I think it is like this and that." There is no value of this "I believe," "I think," "I conjecture." You can do that, but things are going on. The government is very, very strong. Little deviation from the law, you will be punished
- They are interested only with the bodily concept of life. Mandah sumanda-matayo manda-bhagya hy upadrutah. And always disturbed by so many anxieties. How he can ascend to the platform of transcendental realization? It is very difficult in this age
- They are joining KCM because they are in search of such thing, perfect thing. They are fed up with materialistic way of life. It is not that I am playing something magic. It is the need of the present-day situation, that people want Krsna consciousness
- They are just like seasonal changes, happiness and distress. Matra-sparsas tu kaunteya sitosna-sukha-duhkha-dah (BG 2.14). Just like there is winter season; it is pinching cold. That will also not stay
- They are making body very stout and strong so they'll survive. Nobody will survive, sir, unless he is Krsna conscious
- They are making real advancement. Bhava-maha-davagni-nirvapanam. Their these material anxieties will be over
- They are not interested in all these political affairs or so-called social affairs and resolution, because they know this is not the method of becoming peaceful or prosperous. This is not the method
- They are passing M.A., B.A. examination, and so many titles, academic career. Mayayapahrta-jnanah. This kind of knowledge has no value. The value is already taken away. Therefore you will find highly educated person: he is committing sinful life
- They are planning so many things for future, but it is being baffled. So many schemes, so many there are. Our . . . in India there is a planning commission, after independence. So whatever they did, all failure
- They are poor in intelligence. This is sattvic intelligence
- They are so much absorbed in this chanting and dancing, they are no more interested in sex. That is the only way. If you want to stop the pleasure of sex, then you have to take this pleasure, this transcendental pleasure. You'll forget everything
- They are studying how the laws of nature is working. That's nice. But they should appreciate at the same time: Who made such subtle laws that they are working so nicely
- They are studying the laws of nature, how things are happening. But simply they have to understand that it is under the direction of Krsna
- They are thinking by learning Sanskrit they will become perfect. In the Bhagavad-gita I don't find that "You learn Sanskrit, then you become perfect." "You surrender unto Me, then you become perfect." That is wanted
- They are thinking that by constructing big, big, high skyscraper building their civilization is advancing, or machine, or technology. But they do not know this is not the aim of life. Real aim of life - to understand God
- They are thinking they are very happy. That is maya's praksepatmika-sakti, covering energy. Just like you are seeing a hog eating stool, but he is thinking that he's very happy. But you are seeing, Oh, what a abominable life. He's eating stool
- They are very much proud of this body. Why? Alpa-buddhayah - less intelligent. Why he has become less intelligent? That is described in verse, kamam asritya (BG 16.10). His basic principle of life is lusty desire. He has taken shelter of the lusty desire
- They cannot understand that because there is soul within the child, therefore child is becoming boy. As soon as there is no soul, the child does not become a boy. This simple philosophy they cannot understand
- They do not believe in God. Generally they think there is no God, or if there is God, God is dead. Something like that. And I don't think there is any definite, definitive name in any other religious system. It is only in the Vedic system there is name
- They do not know that the real interest is to go back home, go back to Godhead. Durasaya ye bahir-artha-maninah. They have accepted that "We shall be happy by adjusting this material world." Therefore they cannot make any progress
- They do not know that, My svartha, my interest, my goal of life, is to love, to find out God and to love Him. That is my real interest
- They do not know what is freedom and whose freedom. That they do not know. Therefore they have created so many newspapers for freedom, the so-called freedom. But there is no freedom. Even big, big leaders, they have no freedom
- They do not know what is self-preservation. That is another ignorance. They consider this body as the self. Their self-preservation means to keep this body. And that is also not possible
- They do not know what is the aim of life, and the nature's law is, unless you come to the point of understanding what is the aim of life, the nature will go on punishing you in so many ways. Little mistake, you'll be punished
- They do not know, that they should produce sufficient food grains. These, all these contraceptive methods, this and that, monogamy, they are trying for checking population. Is it not
- They do not know. They are thinking this is life. But this is not life. They have no information. So this sinful life, suffering. Sinful means, when we are sinful, then we suffer
- They do not know. They are thinking, "This is a flickering lamp. Oh, let us enjoy." Very risky civilization
- They do not know. They simply speculate. That is the defect of modern educational system. Everyone is seeking for spiritual emancipation. Therefore in your country, in spite of so many big, big universities, you are producing hippies, hopeless population
- They give me so much credit, that "You have done wonderful, miracle," and I do not know how to play any miracle. But only magic is, that I don't adulterate. That's all
- They have been engaged in the lives of hogs and dogs, work very hard, get some money & enjoy for sense gratification. This is not human civilization. So following their own mental concoction they automatically fall down into the dark region of existence
- They have been put in one group: woman, vaisya and sudra, because they are not very intelligent. They can be molded by another intelligent man to the proper channel; therefore they require guidance
- They have brought little sand and rocks after spending millions of dollars, and they are satisfied: "Now I have gone to the moon." This kind of bluffing can go on, but we don’t accept it
- They have got money, they want to pay somebody some fees, and if he says that, "I'll give you some mantra and you will, fifteen minutes' meditation, within six months you'll become God," these things they want
- They have so many misconceptions which are simply due to ignorance. They are simply making false propaganda to keep their prestige
- They have started so many humanitarian institutes to favor the suffering humanity, but it is not possible. They cannot. They cannot do it. It is false attempt
- They know that without God's help we cannot mitigate any of our distressed condition or needy condition. Therefore the arta and artharthi whose background is pious life, they approach God
- They read Ramayana by Tulasi dasa, translated in English, and it was finished within a week. They have got little sympathy for Indian culture
- They require money because they have to give fat salary to these rascals. But we haven't got to
- They say matter can never be created or destroyed, but they do not know that life cannot be created or destroyed
- They say, "We shall do in future." And what is the future? Then why you are at present making false propaganda? Wait for the future
- They say: "Law of gravitation", we say Sankarsana. Sankarsana. So He is holding every planet, and it is said that all these universes are resting on the hood of Sesa-naga just like a small grain of mustard
- They should not try to teach Bhagavad-gita to others, because he has no knowledge. This knowledge has to be received by parampara system. So simply by academic career, by knowledge of A-B-C-D, you cannot understand Bhagavad-gita
- They think this body, "I'm this body, so I'll be hurt, I'll die, I'll this," and so on and so many. Simply anxiety: "How I shall protect my body? How I shall protect my bodily relationship?" everything in connection with the body. Everything asat
- They want if you can say the truth, but don't say the unpalatable truth. But that is social etiquette. When you speak about spiritual life there is no such scope
- They will never be able to learn Sanskrit, and neither it is possible that by learning Sanskrit they will be elevated. There are many Sanskrit scholars. So how they are elevated? They are rotting
- They will not worship Krsna. They will worship a dog
- They'll chant, "Chemical evolution, chemical evolution" and get Nobel Prize. Rascals. But how the people are so foolish that they believe in this
- They'll never reach the right conclusion about what is life, what makes this body move, what is death. Because they're missing the essential point, the spiritual element
- They'll pay to make a literature with bombastic scientific word, and they'll prepare literature. This literature will be distributed and give their medicine, and they may pay them for false propaganda. This is going on to introduce new patent medicine
- They're (Karmis) described in the sastra as sarva-kamo. Akamah sarvo-kama, moksa-kama udara-dhih (SB 2.3.10). So when Krsna says that sarva-dharman patityajya, sarva means, all
- They're all rascals, all rascals, cent percent. They do not know what is arrangement in the hospital and they go, poke their nose in which is not their business
- They're talking and people are hearing. But when it will be practically demonstrated, that is real life. So spiritual knowledge, understanding theoretically, it is little good, but when it is done practically, then it is reality
- Thing is that they are studying the laws very nicely. That's good. But they should appreciate that who has made this law. That is their defect
- Things equal to the same thing are equal to one another. This is axiomatic truth. If you have got hundred dollars, and another man has got hundred dollar, and if I have got hundred dollar, then we are all equal
- Things which are beyond your imagination, beyond your reach, beyond your thoughts, beyond your words, beyond your sense perception, how you can understand them by your experimental so-called scientific research
- Things which are unknown, beyond our conception, you have to know it through the authority, just like you know your father through the authority of your mother
- Thinking is not to be stopped. That is not possible. You cannot stop thinking even for a moment. Simply you have to practice. Instead of thinking these material things, you think of Krsna. That is wanted
- Thinking must be there, but if you think of this body - how to keep it very comfortably, how to enjoy senses, how to have more money, how to have more men or women, how to see naked dance, how to do, how to this, how to this - then you are demon
- Thinking of Krsna does not require any riches or any high parentage or any beauty or any education. So we have to develop such Krsna consciousness
- This age called Kali, it is not very good time. Simply disagreement, fighting, quarreling, misunderstanding. This age is full of that, all these happenings. Therefore to come to the spiritual platform is very difficult in this age
- This age is called, according to the Vedic language, Kali. Kali-yuga means the age of disagreement and dissension
- This arca-murti, it is not idol worship. You practically try to understand. If it was idol worship, then these boys and girls, they are American boys and girls, intelligent, educated, they should not have spared so much time for worshiping one idol
- This attempt is for preaching, not for the post. If we get the post, it is all right. If we don't get, we are not disappointed
- This Bhagavad-gita we have published "As It Is," but unfortunately many editions, they give different interpretations. But "As It Is" should be understood
- This bhakti-yoga practice. Actually, this was the practice in India in every home. There was Deity. At least, brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, they had Deity, Radha-Krsna, Sita-Rama or Laksmi-Narayana or Narayana sila. Every house, it was being worshiped
- This big machine (the stomach) is going on, big factory, simply you have to give the raw materials to the factory, and things will come out
- This big machine, body, is wonderful so long the soul is there. As soon as the soul is out it is lump of matter, useless. We are giving importance to the machine, not to the person who is dealing with the machine. This is the folly of modern civilization
- This birth, death, old age, disease, this is due to this unclean, infected, material body. That we are not concerned, that how to stop this infected material body, how to revive our original spiritual body
- This bodily concept of life itself is mistake. I am not this body, but I am thinking I am this body. Actually I am not this body, and still I am thinking that I am Indian, you are thinking you are American. This is mistake. This beginning is mistake
- This body is a breeding ground of all kinds of diseases. Life is short and it is so much disturbed. So how it is possible to practice
- This body is also machine. That is described in the Bhagavad-gita, yantrarudhani mayaya (BG 18.61). It is a machine given by maya, the material energy
- This body is Krsna's. What is this body? Bhumir apo analo vayuh kham mano buddhir (BG 7.4). It is constituted of these things: earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence, ego. And Krsna says, bhinna me prakrti astadha: These are Mine, My things
- This body is made of . . . according to Vedic medicine or Vedic anatomy, it is made of three elements - mucus, bile and air. Tri-dhatuke
- This body is moving very nicely because the living force is there. And as soon as the living force is gone out, this nice body will no longer move. It will decompose. Dust thou art, dust thou beist
- This body is not false. Not only this body; everything material. We don't take it is false. We take it as temporary. And temporary, how it should be utilized for our best purpose
- This body is to be annihilated, but I am not to be annihilated. Nityasyoktahsaririnah. Saririnah means "one who possesses." He is nitya
- This body, although false or temporary, but when it is painful, I feel it. So how can I say it is false
- This body, how you'll be transferred to another body, that will be judged by Yamaraja. Daiva-netrena. Karmana daiva-netrena (SB 3.31.1). By our activities we shall be judged. Those who are criminal, they will be judged, not that everyone will be judged
- This body, wherever you pinch, you feel pain. Why? Because the consciousness is there. So Krsna advises that consciousness is eternal, not this body
- This brahminical culture, the brahminical brain, is the standard of Vedic civilization. Just like Manu-smrti. You cannot trace out the history, when Manu-smrti was written. But Manu-smrti is considered so perfect that it is the Hindu law
- This change of body, that is our anyatha rupa. We must be fixed up in our own rupa, svarupa. Svarupa-siddhi
- This chanting and hearing is so pious that it will gradually cleanse your heart, and you will understand what is God - what is God, what is your relationship with Him, what is His function, what is your function
- This chaste woman and this sad-acara, brahmana - ideal is brahmana - if they combine then there will be peace, there will be progress, there will be peace in the society, peace in the family
- This city is very nice. Not only this city, I am traveling all over the world. There are very, very nice cities in Europe, America and other countries also
- This concentration of mind is very difficult in this age, because mind is so agitated. Therefore force them to hear Hare Krsna. Even they have no mind to hear, you chant loudly Hare Krsna, they will hear. Their mind will be dragged. It is so nice thing
- This consciousness formula is very simple to understand. Anyone can understand. Just like this body, so long the soul is there within this body, there is consciousness. Just like so long the sun is visible, there is heat and sunlight
- This consciousness of eating, sleeping, mating and defending, that is common. In one animal, it is very strong. In another man, animal, it is not so strong. But this consciousness is there. But this God consciousness is not there except in human being
- This consciousness we are trying to arouse. This is the best welfare service to the people, to awaken his lost consciousness
- This creation is from Krsna. In the catuh-sloki Bhagavata, aham eva asam agre: "I was present before the creation." Sankaracarya also says, narayanah paro avyaktad : The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Narayana, He is beyond this material creation
- This dancing is not ordinary dancing. So anyway, if you think that this dancing is a sentimental caricature - you may think like that, but if you want to understand through philosophy and science, we can supply you immense literature
- This desire, that I shall merge into the existence of God, just like the example is given that, "I am drop of water. Now I shall merge into the big ocean. Therefore I shall become ocean." This example is generally given by the Mayavadi philosophers
- This dog's association, dog society, they are suffering in every step; still, they are thinking, "We are making progress." That's all. Dog civilization. Hog civilization, dog civilization. This is not civilization
- This doggish civilization, nasta-buddhaya, lost all intelligence. Kamam duspuram. So kamam . . . on account of this body there is lusty desire. We cannot deny it. But don't make it duspuram, never to be satiated. Then finished. Make it limited
- This energy was never created, then what is the need for a creator
- This feeling can be aroused, God consciousness, simply by these sixteen words’ chant, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare
- This formula, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, this sound vibration, you can practice it. It is not difficult. There is no secret
- This gigantic body of universe, that is also not eternal. It has a date of creation, and it has a date for dissolution. That is the nature. Therefore it is said that, That material nature is sanatana. That is never created; neither it is annihilated
- This give and take, this inclination, is there in the human being
- This godless civilization is so acute that it is very difficult to make them understand God consciousness, or Krsna consciousness. But still, as a matter of duty, we have to present, submit, these teachings of Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam
- This gross is this land, bhumi - earth, straw. Water is a little more subtle. Just like in land you can stand, but in the water you cannot stand. It has become little subtle. Then fire, then air and then ether. This is the position, from gross to subtle
- This Hare Krsna mantra, if we chant repeatedly Hare Krsna - Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare - then the sleeping man awakens to Krsna consciousness. This is the process
- This hog civilization is going on as human civilization. That is the difficulty
- This hoggish civilization is real civilization. To become like hog, that is real civilization. And to give up this process, thinking of soul, elevation of the soul, going back to Godhead - simply imagination, brainwashing
- This human form of life is a chance to make your choice, whether you are to go on being punished like this in different forms of life or whether you shall go back to home, back to Godhead. Here is the chance
- This human form of life is meant for understanding God only. There is no other business. But instead of understanding God we have created so many problems, and our life is being spoiled in solving all these problems. That is the difficulty
- This human form of life, is meant for to get out of this darkness of material world. Tamasi ma jyotir gama. This is the information, Vedic information, "Don't remain in this darkness." Darkness . . . this, this material world is dark
- This initiation process is acaryopasanam, beginning of worshiping the spiritual master
- This is a fact, that the soul is there, but body is changing. Therefore the natural conclusion should be that when we leave this body, I take another body.There is no difficulty to understand this reasonable proposition of Bhagavad-gita
- This is a false theory, that chemical can create life. It is nonsense. Life is never created. Life is already there. God is already there, and the part and particles, molecules, of life, was already there
- This is a great opportunity we have got, this human form of life. Once missed, you do not know what is the loss. We do not know what is going to happen in our next life. But if you take to KC, it is guaranteed that you get another human form of life
- This is a great science, Krsna science, krsna-tattva. So we have to learn from the authorized Vedic literature about Krsna. And that is required in human life
- This is a place simply for suffering. Therefore everyone's business is how to get out of it. You cannot stop it. Even if you show sympathy, that is useless
- This is a very important verse. Bhave asmin. Asmin means "this," and bhave, "the material world." Bhava means to grow; means . . . grow means which has taken birth. That requires grow
- This is a wrong type of civilization, a civilization of ignorance. Animal civilization. Just like animals: a cat, a dog, the cow, he does not know what is the working principle in the body
- This is acaryopasana, by reading their books, nana-sastra-vicaranaika-nipunau sad-dharma-samsthapakau. Why studying so many books? For the sake of establishing real religious life
- This is another important verse: na mucyate deha-yogena tavat (SB 5.5.6) The problem is presented, deha-yogena. This body, contact with this material body, this is the problem. But nobody knows it. Especially in these days they cannot understand
- This is axiomatic basis because you have to accept that your senses are imperfect. So you, by speculation, cannot have perfect knowledge. This is axiomatic truth
- This is bhakti-yoga. Automatically everything will be . . . hygienic principle, health question, economic question, and social, political - everything will be solved
- This is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's benediction: no qualification, but if he simply chants Hare Krsna mantra he'll be ecstatic. Krsna-prema-pradaya te
- This is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission. Those who have taken birth in India, Bharata-bhumi, they should make their life perfect by understanding the Vedic knowledge. And the Supreme Lord Krsna comes here to teach the Vedic knowledge
- This is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's preaching. If you do not accept Krsna as a God's name, then if you have your own name of Krsna, er, God, chant it
- This is called bhajana, devotion in separation, feeling separation. So in this way we shall increase our aspiration more and more. That is required. That asa, that hope, that expectation, will lead us to the topmost platform of devotion
- This is called visoko brahma-sampattya. When we understand our spiritual identity, then we are no more lamenting or jubilation. Equilibrium. Read the purport. It is very important verse
- This is ceto-darpana-marjanam. When you cleanse your heart, you will understand that "I am thinking that I am master, but actually I am serving." This is cleansing of the heart
- This is essential. Acaryopasanam. If you at all interested in the understanding of spiritual subject matter, then you must approach a bona fide spiritual master
- This is essential. Acaryopasanam. To become humble, meek, ahimsa, non-violence, santi, tolerance - in this way you have to make progress
- This is first chastisement, that so far this body is concerned, it is a dead lump of matter, either it is moving or not moving. When there is life, it will move. When there is not life, it does not move. But both cases, it is a lump of matter
- This is four principle: dharma, artha, kama, moksa. And moksa, by the impersonalist, their moksa and real moksa . . . real moksa means liberation
- This is genuine movement. Why the American government should be discriminating against a genuine religious sect, Krsna
- This is going on. Very, what is called, awkward position in this material world. In the name of service, so many nonsense things are going on. In the name of worshiping God, so many nonsense things are going on
- This is gopi. Krsna is out of the village, and they are at home, and they are thinking of Krsna and they fainted. This is also anxiety, so much anxiety that fainted. But that is for Krsna. Therefore gopis are exalted
- This is gradual progress of spiritual mind, and this state is called prema, prema-gadgadaya vaca. So we have to make progress as it is exemplified by Prahlada Maharaja
- This is his great fortune. Ajamila gave the youngest son the name Narayana. Naturally father, mother becomes affectionate to the youngest kiddie. So by way of calling the young child, he was chanting -Narayana
- This is his real suffering. He's part and parcel of God. Qualitatively, he's as good as God, but he's suffering. Why he's suffering? Manah sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati (BG 15.7). He has come to this material world
- This is human life. But they are so much embarrassed with this uncontrollable senses that they are going to the darkest region of material existence. Adanta-gobhih. Adanta means uncontrolled
- This is humbleness, and this is the qualification of becoming a disciple. When one becomes humble, when actually one understands that he is fool number one, he has to go to guru to understand the value of his life, then he is intelligent
- This is initiative, dancing like dogs, (sings) "We are independent, we are independent." (laughter) Does it have any meaning? Dance like a dog, that's all
- This is intimate relationship with Krsna. Ordinary living entity, they have got relationship; but when one becomes devotee, it is intimate relation, intimate friend. Therefore Kunti is requesting Krsna, How You can leave us? We are Your intimate friends
- This is Kali-yuga. It is untouchable, but still, people are trying to get something from the garbage, so downtrodden, this Kali-yuga
- This is KCM, ante narayana-smrtih. So it is very important movement. Those who are very intelligent, they can take to it. Or you become intelligent or not intelligent, but know, at least, unless one is pious, he cannot take to this movement
- This is Krsna consciousness movement, that we are giving chance to the unfortunate. Everyone is unfortunate. Everyone is a rascal. We are giving chance how to become intelligent and fortunate. This is Krsna consciousness
- This is Krsna consciousness movement. They have forgotten; they have forgotten that one is black, one is white, one is yellow, one is red or one is this or that. The bodily concept they have forgotten. This is practical. You can see
- This is Krsna consciousness movement. We don't manufacture anything. So-called yoga, so-called meditation, we don't care for all this nonsense. Our only business is how to implement the instruction of Krsna, the rascals may understand and be happy
- This is ksatriya spirit. He was simply a boy, sixteen years old, and he had to be killed by the combined efforts of very, very big commander-in-chiefs. He was so great fighter, Abhimanyu
- This is Lavana-bhaskara - Ayur-vedic medicine for increasing appetite
- This is love of Krsna, that "How can I live?" - separation from Krsna. This is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's philosophy. And the Gosvamis followed them. They never said that "Now I have seen Krsna." Never said
- This is material world. But there is another world. That information we get from Bhagavad-gita and other Vedic literature. Spiritual world. This material world is only one-fourth of the whole creation. Ekamsena sthito jagat

- This is no use, imitation. Anusarana, not anukarana. Anukarana is dangerous. Anusarana. Sadhu-marganugamanam. This is bhakti. We shall try to follow the footsteps of big, big devotees, sadhus
- This is not a proper civilization. Simply concentrating on these four different bodily necessities of life - eating, sleeping, mating and defending - no
- This is not very good sign. People should eat sumptuously; not overeating. Overeating is bad
- This is one example. Another example is just like if you are hungry. Actually, every man is hungry for spiritual happiness. Therefore they are not satisfied. They are trying to gratify their senses in so many ways, but still they are not satisfied
- This is our canvassing, Hare Krsna maha-mantra. If you don't agree, that is your business. That is your misfortune
- This is our Krsna consciousness movement, and we are chanting the holy name of God, and we are recommending others also to chant the holy name of God
- This is our Krsna consciousness movement. We offer to Krsna the patram puspam - flower, vegetables, grains, milk product - and we take prasadam. This is our movement
- This is our misconception. We are thinking that this paraphernalia - my country, my community, my countrymen or my family, my wife, my children and so many things, mine, mine, mine - so I'm thinking that they will give me all protection. No
- This is our philosophy, Krsna consciousness preaching. You don’t require any high type of philosophical speculation or this or this ism, that ism, that ism - no. Simple truth. That’s all
- This is our real disease, repetition of birth, janma, and repetition of death
- This is our real disease, to take birth, to die, to become old and to become victims of disease. But nobody knows how to cure this
- This is our temporary home. We have got real home. That is the kingdom of God. We are coming from there
- This is rascal civilization. They have no responsibility of life, and dancing like dog
- This is real question: "What I am?" So Sanatana Gosvami's question is being answered by Caitanya Mahaprabhu, "Because you have this inquiry, this is the beginning of human life." If one is little inquisitive to know what I am, then his real life begins
- This is real suffering. Why the eternal soul should be subjected to birth, death, old age and disease
- This is realization of God. There is difference, varieties; at the same time they're one. Unity in variety
- This is sastra. Five thousand years ago, what was written, that is now becoming true. Now there is no marriage as it was taking formerly, Vedic marriage. The father-mother will select the bride, bridegroom, and there will be gorgeous ceremony & marriage
- This is solution, Krsna consciousness. Krsna says, janma karma me divyam: "This is My appearance on this material world, how God appears." Ajo 'pi sann avyayatma. Nobody takes birth. Even we do not take birth; we simply change body. What to speak of God
- This is standard method. Because we gave them the chance of hearing, gradually they're coming. Not that immediately you become brahmin. Now they are becoming more than brahmins
- This is statement in the Srimad-Bhagavata: Those who know the Absolute Truth, they know that Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan, they are one. It is different phases of understanding only
- This is struggle for existence. In this material world everyone is struggling to survive. But who is surviving? That way, materialistic way of life, will not help you to survive. That is . . . prakrteh kriyamanani
- This is summarized in the Vedic language, sarvam khalv idam brahma. Without Krsna there is nothing existing. In the Bhagavad-gita it is said, maya tatam idam sarvam (BG 9.4). Whatever we see, very superior or inferior, good or bad, that is all from Krsna
- This is the basic principle of godlessness - to avoid the higher authority. Not only in your country; in other countries also - that has become a fashion, to defy authorities. This godlessness is also like that, to defy the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- This is the basic principle of our movement, Krsna consciousness movement. You try to understand whether you are this body or something beyond this body. This is to be understood
- This is the beginning of education, that you are a spirit soul. Because you are spirit soul you are changing body. This is the understanding, beginning A-B-C-D
- This is the Bhagavata's instruction: one should not begin . . . become a guru, or to cheat the disciple, showing him wrong path. That is not good. That is instructed by Rsabhadeva

- This is the description of Vaikuntha features. So always young. There is no old age, disease or birth and death. Here in this material world these four things are there: birth, death, old age and disease
- This is the disease of this present material world. They have no knowledge practically what is the basic principle of life, & still they are passing on as scientist, philosophers, religionist, yogis, svamis, but they have no clear conception of the soul
- This is the fact. He (Krsna) chastised, that - Your vision is so poor that you are looking after this body
- This is the first duty of the spiritual master, to engage the devotees in arcana-marga. Sri-vigraharadhana-nitya. Cleansing the temple, dressing the Deity, decorating with flowers, so that devotees, as soon as see smiling Krsna, they become pleased
- This is the first education to Arjuna. "My dear Arjuna, you are lamenting so much for your family. You have come to war field, you have to fight, and now you are crying for your family. What is this nonsense?"
- This is the general way of life. Everyone is engaged in these material activities, and the basic principle of material activity is grhastha, family life
- This is the golden opportunity to preach the Krsna cult all over the world. You are lamenting because a few yards of land has been taken away from your country as Pakistan, but if you spread this KC movement, the whole world will become Hindustan
- This is the greatest defect of modern civilization, that they won't accept real authority. They will create some authority. Or rascal, he becomes authority. Especially in India
- This is the highest philosophy of life, highest perfection of life, how to learn to love Krsna. The Vrndavana means simply loving Krsna. The cowherds boy, the gopis, the Nanda Maharaja, Yasodamayi, Radharani - the only focus is to love Krsna. That's all
- This is the influence of Kali-yuga. One becomes disciple of a spiritual master, then he whimsically disagrees. So why, if you disagree, why should you accept somebody as spiritual master
- This is the most important verse indicating Caitanya as Krsna. Krsna-varnam. Another meaning, Krsna-varnayati: "The incarnation of Krsna who is always describing Krsna or chanting Hare Krsna." But Tvisa akrsnam: But by complexion, akrsna, not black
- This is the only process of this age. Simply you hear this chanting, Hare Krsna, and hear, and if you have got time you can read books. That is also hearing
- This is the policy. Exactly following the footprints of Gosvamis, we do not require any money. We, we are quite confident Krsna will supply all the necessities
- This is the secret of Krsna consciousness, that to become Krsna conscious, to become dog of Krsna, servant of Krsna
- This is the statement in Bhagavata. Adanta-gobhir visatam tamisram (SB 7.5.30): Because they cannot control their senses, therefore they are making progress towards the darkest region of hell
- This is the sum total meaning of this Hare Krsna mantra. Simply praying, "Please engage me," that is real profit. Not that, "Please give me, instead of hundred dollars, give me thousand dollars." No. This is not pure devotion

- This is the symptoms of Kali-yuga. The bare necessities of life will not be available. There is no protection
- This is the Vaisnava mentality. Here Prahlada Maharaja says that, I am nica. I am fallen. I am the lowest. I have no good qualifications, no good parentage, nothing of this sort. Then how can I serve Krsna, the Supreme
- This is the way of materialistic life. Life means that they should not work. Working hard, very hard working, that is the animal's business
- This is to be understood. Krsna, Krsna . . . let us understand one line. Para-brahman
- This is Vedic civilization. You give protection to the women, to the children, to the brahmin, to the cow and to the old men. First duty. First duty is to give protection to the old men, women, children, cow and brahmin
- This is Vedic civilization: to give chance everyone how to realize that Brahman, athato brahma jijnasa, the Vedanta, the Vedanta philosophy
- This is Vedic contraception, that if you are competent to give instruction to your children how to avoid the cycle of birth, death, old age and disease, then you become father. Otherwise don’t become father, don’t become mother
- This is very dangerous civilization - no knowledge of the spiritual life, no knowledge how the soul is transmigrating from one body to another, no knowledge what is the future, no knowledge what is the goal of life. Simply like cats and dogs
- This is very dangerous civilization. If you want to save them from this dangerous civilization, you must push on Krsna consciousness. Otherwise there is no other way
- This is very easy to understand. The dog is eating; I am eating. Dog is sleeping; I am sleeping. Dog is enjoying sex; I am also enjoying sex. Dog is also afraid; I am also afraid. So what is the difference between dog and me?
- This is very essential to keep cows very comfortably. If they feel comfortable, then you get the most nourishing food - milk
- This is very essential, to have good society. A man may be very innocent, and if he is given chance for good society, he becomes a godly man. And if he's given inferior society, then he becomes a demon
- This is very good system, that if you keep the name of your children "Narayana," "Govinda," "Krsna," "Rama," you will get some chance to chanting this Hare Krsna. Therefore in India still the system is they keep some name which is with reference to Krsna
- This is very important verse for understanding the aim of life. Jivasya tattva-jijnasa. Not that simply economic development for sense gratification. Tattva-jijnasa. What is the value of life? That is the main business

- This is very important verse to understand Bhagavad-gita. By rascal interpretation you cannot understand what is Bhagavad-gita. It is a mystery. Rahasyam, mysterious. Only a devotee who is in intimate relation with Krsna, he can understand
- This is very important verse, that any manufactured religion, that is not religion. The principle of religion is our relationship with God. In any religion where is no such conception, that is not religion
- This is very important verse. Evam tvayi nanyathe . . . nanyatha ato asti na karma lipyate nare. If you know it that everything belongs to Krsna, in this way if you live for hundreds of years and do your duties, there will be no reaction
- This is very important verse. Form and formless. When we speak of formless, we speak that God or even living entity, all of us, we have no material form. Just like we have got this form, but this form is temporary and it will never come again
- This is very important verse. In the previous verse it has been described, dehino 'smin yatha dehe (BG 2.13). Actually, we living entities, we are within the body. The bodily pains and pleasure are not the pains and pleasure of the soul within
- This is very important verse. It says that urukramanghrim. Urukramanghrim is the name of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Uru, uru means big, and krama means activity: one whose activities are very great
- This is very important verse. Sri Yamunacarya says: "My dear Lord," bhavantam evanucaran nirantarah, "When I shall be fully engaged in Your service?" This is the process of being freed from all anxiety
- This is very important verse. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti. Our problem is this transmigration of the soul, one body to another, this is going on. Because you do not know how to get out of it
- This is very simple philosophy, and everything is explained in the Bhagavad-gita. If we are fortunate enough, we should study Bhagavad-gita as it is. And then we become successful in the mission of our life
- This joyous in the self, that means Krsna is the Superself. Yoga practice, that "I am individual self." When I am in samadhi with Visnu, Superself, that is my steadiness of the mind. So Superself and self, when they enjoy . . . enjoyment cannot be alone
- This killing and keeping organized slaughterhouse killing is the same thing. Just see. People have become so degraded
- This kind of activity, sense-gratificatory activities, they are not karmis even. They are vikarmis. Because they are preparing their ground-adanta-gobhir visatam tamisram (SB 7.5.30) By such activities they are going to the darkest region of hell
- This kind of civilization will not bring any peace and prosperity. You have to take Krsna's civilization if you want actually . . . that is human civilization
- This kind of endeavor, simply eating, sleeping, sex life and defense, that is common to the animals and to the human being. But human being has got a special prerogative. That is Krsna consciousness: to know God, to know himself, to know this world
- This kind of hard labor simply for satisfying the tongue and the genital, that is hog civilization. That is warned by Rsabhadeva
- This kind of intelligent persons (like Ravanas) are killed by Rama. They may make plan very nice to cheat Ramacandra, but ultimately they become vanquished with all their planning commission
- This Krsna consciousness movement is incarnation. They are teaching love of Godhead. We are not teaching some ritualistic process that, "You become Hindu," "You become Christian," "You become Muhammadan." We are simply teaching, You try to love God
- This Krsna consciousness movement is very important. It is a movement to save the human society from a suicidal policy
- This Krsna consciousness movement is very, very essential. Very, very essential. I am very glad to inform you that this movement is being especially received in the Western country by the younger generation. I am very much hopeful
- This Krsna consciousness movement, there is austerity, but it is not very difficult. We recommend our students not to have illicit sex. We don't stop sex, but regulate. We don't stop eating, but regulated, krsna-prasadam, no meat-eating
- This Krsna consciousness understanding is very easy, at the same time very difficult also. So therefore here it is said kevala bhaktya. Kevala means only bhakti, without any jnana, karma, yoga. That is kevala bhakti. That is pure devotion, bhakti
- This Krsna's qualification, that He's not affected by the material happiness and distress, can be attained by anyone who always keeps his association with Krsna
- This life is for voluntarily giving oneself for understanding what is God. That is necessary
- This life is not meant for, simply for this hard work like animals, and satisfy oneself by sex life. This is hog’s life. The hog is also working whole day very hard, eating all nonsense, and very much satisfied with sex life
- This life, this human form of life, is meant for a sublime gain. What is that? To make a permanent solution of the miserable condition of our life
- This machine nonsense, means unemployment. One machine will work for hundred men. So hundred men becomes unemployed, and one technician, he gets all the salaries. To work on the computer
- This man was asking me, "Swamiji, what magic you have got?" And "I have got this magic: that I don't tell lie. I don't make 'This rascal is God.' God is Krsna. That is my magic. I don't bluff people
- This Mars expedition will be a failure. Let them spend millions of dollars. I told about moon planet ten years ago. Simply it is childish, simply a waste of money and energy. I told this. Now it has proved
- This material civilization, they're decorating this body. So the bodily concept of life is condemned in the very beginning of Bhagavad-gita. This knowledge was given to Arjuna by Krsna when he surrendered. When he was talking friendly, He did not say
- This material nature is impregnated just like a female is impregnated by the male; otherwise the female cannot give birth to any child
- This material time, it is called kala. Kala means death. Or kala means the black snake. The black snake destroys. As soon as touches anything, it is destroyed

- This material world is called maya, means it is not factually in existence, but it is working, hallucination
- This material world is created from the spiritual world. Eko narayana asit. In the spiritual world there is always Narayana. Even Sankaracarya, he says, narayanah avyaktat parah. The spiritual world has nothing to do with this material world
- This material world is created, just like the banyan tree, it takes its root and it is created. So the seed of the creation is in the spiritual world
- This material world is eternal in this sense: because it is Krsna's energy. If Krsna is eternal, His energy is also eternal. But the manifestation of this energy is temporary
- This material world is forest fire. But they are so ignorant, they cannot understand that, "We are burning in the blazing fire of this material existence. Our attempt should be how to get out of it." But there is no such knowledge
- This material world is just like that blind well. If somebody falls down in it, it is very difficult to get out of it. Therefore it is atma-ghatam. Atma-ghatam means killing the soul
- This material world is manifestation of the external potency of Krsna, whereas the spiritual world is the manifestation of His internal potency. Unfortunately, the modern advancement of education has no information what is that spiritual world
- This material world is now described, compared with a banyan tree, which has its root upwards, above. That means this material world is created from the spiritual world. Eko narayana asit
- This material world is reflection of the spiritual world. There is no happiness. Happiness is there in the spiritual world, but we are running after it, being ignorant
- This material world is tama, darkness. So if one is very serious to inquire about the world of light, for him there is need of guru, not for ordinary person
- This material world is the burning fire of anxiety. So in order to get rid of it, we have to take shelter of Hare Krsna mantra. So as soon as you take shelter of Hare Krsna, naturally we are relieved from this blazing fire of material existence
- This material world is the reflection, urdhva mulam. Generally the tree has got its root down, but the material world . . . it is described as a big banyan tree, but the root is upwards
- This material world, there is different type of use. As soon as you use it for your sense gratification, you'll be affected with material disease. And if you use it for Krsna consciousness, it will elevate you to the liberated condition
- This materialistic way of life is not human life. It is less than animal life
- This meditation process was possible to be executed in the age when people were very pious and very honest and the duration of life was very long. That is called Golden Age, or Satya-yuga
- This meditation was recommended, according to Vedic literature, in the golden age, when the duration of life was very, very long, people were peaceful, there was no disturbance
- This meeting is for the human beings, not for the cats and dogs. They cannot come here, neither they will understand what is going on here. A human body, human being, has the chance to understand the philosophy of life as it was enunciated by Rsabhadeva
- This mental condition naturally is there what I practice throughout my whole life. So if we practice this chanting of Hare Krsna name, then there is chance of chanting Hare Krsna at the time of death. That is the examination
- This modern civilization, they could not make any profit. They have created some problems, that's all. Very dangerous civilization
- This movement is actually the real movement to raise the human society. And if we create faction, then the movement will be less strong and will not act very nicely
- This movement is very scientific movement, authorized. Anyone who will take to it seriously surely will be cured of this material disease and be happy
- This movement is very scientific, authorized, Vedic, and people are accepting them. Therefore I repeatedly request our Indian brothers, "Don't neglect. Take this movement very seriously." That is the only business of human life
- This one example will stop millions of thieves not to commit stealing. Simply by cutting. Even a hundred years ago this system was prevalent in Kashmir. If a thief is arrested & if he's proved that he has stolen, immediately king will cut off his 2 hands
- This opportunity was given to Ajamila that, although he fell down from his standard of devotional service, but he got the opportunity of chanting "Narayana." Ante narayana smrtih
- This Pacific Ocean is only one, insignificant. There are millions of Pacific Ocean flying in the sky. So who is the proprietor
- This painting of Krsna is not an artist's imagination. It is exactly the form. So here is the form of the Lord. Here is the name of the Lord. Here is the activities of the Lord. This is clear conception
- This philosophy is only in Vaisnava philosophy: to accept God as son. In other religions, they accept God as father; but here is a philosophy they accept God as son
- This physical formation of the body, is false, or temporary, or false in this sense that it is not my original body. Original body is within this material body. That is spiritual body
- This place is a very sanctified. Rupa Gosvami and Jiva Gosvami used to assemble here. We are not going to imitate them, but we want a place under the shelter of their lotus feet and discuss something of their contribution. Then our life may be successful
- This place is situated near Lucknow, a very nice place, sanctified place. Still people go and find peace for spiritual meditation. In that tract of land, Naimisaranya, from time immemorial this place was especially recognized for spiritual meeting
- This plan-making business is maya, because that will never be successful. Trace out the history of the whole world. Nobody has become happy
- This practice is recommended, sastra, that by the our these blunt senses it is very difficult to understand Krsna
- This process is hearing, because that is the only process. If you want to understand God, other processes will be realized through the process of hearing, sravanam
- This process, mauna, to remain silent, is meant for persons who cannot control the senses. It is better not to talk than to talk foolish
- This question was asked to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu by a devotee. He was householder. So he inquired, My dear Sir, what is the real standard of behavior of a devotee
- This question was put by Sanatana Gosvami, that "I am prime minister. People adore me as pandita, but why I am put into these tribulations of the laws of nature? Why as prime minister and learned pandita I cannot counteract it?" This is real question
- This question was raised in Parliament also. So how we became fabulously rich? We do not do anything. I have not taught you anything magic. I simply request you, Chant Hare Krsna mantra sixteen times, please
- This rascal (elephant) washed so nicely his body, and immediately, coming out of the tank, he throws dust. Saucye manye kunjara-saucavat. Very appropriate. In Sanskrit it is called hasti-snana. Snana means bathing and hasti means elephant
- This repetition of birth and death, it is the blazing fire of material existence. So when one understands that "What is my position?" then he'll do this, ceto-darpana-marjanam
- This risky civilization is going on. They don't want to know what is God, neither they want to satisfy Him. And our Krsna consciousness movement is just the opposite, that "Here is God. You satisfy Him." That's all
- This saffron robe is not very essential, or cut the hair, but it creates some good situation, mental
- This saying is very nice that, "Birds of the same feather flock together." So this propensity of combination of society, community, amongst the human being, is not very important improvement
- This science is unknown to the rascal civilization, how to utilize things for the best purpose
- This science one has to learn from the authorities: Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami and others. Then it is possible to understand what is loving affairs of Radha-Krsna
- This science, geography, philosophy, religion, sociology, politics - whatever you want, you can learn from the Vedic information. There is perfect information. So it is compared with a tree. So that tree, and the ripened fruit is this Srimad-Bhagavatam
- This simple philosophy. And this is a fact. What is this body? This body is this earth. "Dust thou art, dust thou be-est." Mother is this material nature. I've got this body. And the father, He is Krsna, or God. What is wrong in accepting this philosophy
- This sloka can be explained, what is the meaning of religion, by doll exhibition. When you do it I shall give you ideas

- This Society is attempting to create a society of devotees all over the world, without any discrimination of caste, creed, color. One must be a devotee of Krsna
- This spiritual life, this human life is a chance that you learn how to purify yourself. That is human life. And if you don't purify yourself, you remain impure, without any endeavor, then what is the difference between you and cats and dogs?
- This sraddha, as it grows and becomes firmly fixed up, that is devotion. Sraddha means, devotion means, gradually making the sraddha more and more fixed up

- This verse is very important: iti susruma dhiranam (ISO 10). Susruma means heard. The word meaning is there. "It is heard." In the Vedic disciplic succession, it is never said, "It is experienced." That is the secret of Vedic understanding
- This verse is very important: tyaktva sva-dharmam caranambujam harer (SB 1.5.17). He says that if one takes sentimentally this Krsna consciousness movement, tyaktva sva-dharmam . . . Just like in our Krsna consciousness movement
- This Vidura was Yamaraja. So he was cursed by one muni to go down and take birth in sudra family. Yamaraja was very exalted post

- This word abhigacchet, it is a form of verb which is used where the sense is "You must! You must!" There is no exception. You cannot say that "I may go to a spiritual master or I may not go. I can study at home." No. You must
- This zero, void philosophy, when one becomes very much disgusted, they want to make it zero, finish everything. So this nirvisesa, or zero, is undeveloped stage
- Thoroughly study Bhagavad-gita As It Is. Yes. Understand the philosophy of life. Apply in your own life and try to spread among friends

- Those who are actually religious, should not be spent unnecessarily for sense gratification

- Those who are devotee of Krsna, they are under the influence of internal energy. The internal energy of Krsna, it has got three different functions. One of the function is hladini sakti. That is Radharani. Radharani is the pleasure potency of Krsna
- Those who are devotees, either they live or they die - the same thing. While they live they are serving Krsna; when they die they will serve Krsna. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti (BG 4.9). He goes to Krsna. So what is the loss
- Those who are devotees, they are not fools; they are actually a man in knowledge
- Those who are diseased like us, they can chant and gradually cure the material disease. This is the basic principle of chanting the holy name of Krsna
- Those who are distressed has come to God, and those who are in poverty-stricken has come to God, why they are also welcome? They are welcome because they have come to God, in course of time they will also become as good as the man in knowledge
- Those who are dull materialists, their brain is congested with so much rubbish thing, they cannot understand that it is through the bodily effulgence of the Lord the potential manifestation is this cosmic manifestation. They will think that like Dr. Frog

- Those who are in Krsna consciousness movement, they should study Krsna scientifically, not by sentiment
- Those who are in perfectional yoga, they can become like that, smaller than the smallest. So anima, laghima, you can become lighter than the lightest. You can fly in the air. They go, by touching the beam of the sun, moon, they can go
- Those who are in the lowest stage of knowledge, they are in the bodily concept of life - the indriya, the senses. Just like cats and dogs, they cannot think more than that. But Krsna advises, No, don't stop here

- Those who are meat-eaters, cannot give up meat-eating, for them, the prescription is, Alright, you can eat meat, but you have to sacrifice one goat, but not cow
- Those who are meat-eaters, the Vedic process is, it doesn't say imitate it. No. Stop eating, we say, because our process is a little advanced than ordinary Vedic process. This is also Vedic process
- Those who are not dedicated or taken to Krsna consciousness, they are criminals. They will be taken to the Yamaraja's court, and Yamaraja will decide what kind of body
- Those who are not Krsna conscious, they do not know. They are frogs of the well, simply calculating, "This three feet water, space, is my habitation." And when he's given information of the Atlantic Ocean, he does not believe

- Those who are open-hearted, they will certainly accept this nice movement, Krsna consciousness

- Those who are practicing yoga, they must be devotee of God. Otherwise, yoga will be a failure
- Those who are present here, our disciple or not disciple, should understand that this Krsna consciousness movement is a great scientific movement; it is not a bogus bluffing movement. Very scientific movement
- Those who are rascals, they think that "Krsna has two hands, two legs; therefore I am also Krsna. I am also." So don't be misled by the rascals, pasandi. Take as there in the sastra, learn it from authorized sources, and be happy
- Those who are researching, they cannot understand Krsna. They understand Krsna as ordinary human being, maybe little learned. That's all. The Dr. Frog's calculation of Atlantic Ocean

- Those who are very much attached to this material nature, they are unfortunate; they cannot understand Krsna or Krsna consciousness. That is not possible
- Those who are yogis, they want to find out that "God is sitting with me. Let me see by meditation." That is yogi's business

- Those who have developed love for Krsna, they can see always, twenty-four hours, Krsna and nothing but Krsna. This is the process
- Those who have devoted their life, dedicated their life only in Krsna consciousness, they are sure. Krsna says, tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti (BG 4.9). That is sure, they are going back to home, back to Godhead
- Those who have got background of pious life. So even one goes to the church, "God, give us our daily bread," he's not ordinary person. He's pious man. He has gone to God to ask. He has not gone to anyone

- Those who pursue the four Vedic goals (religiosity, economic development, sense gratification, and liberation), even up to impersonal liberation, find themselves imprisoned by their senses and enslaved by their desires
- Those who seek the smaller values of life and thus take up yoga for selfish motives are not very noble, and even if they achieve success, they still remain inferior
- Those who want to be free, they are animals. So-called freedom means animalism. That is not humanism. Humanism means to follow the rules and regulation and the laws, and then he is human being
- Those who want to be leader of the society, they should be ideal persons, they should be Krsna conscious person. Then the whole world will be happy
- Those who want to commit spiritual suicide by sacrificing their individuality are a breed by themselves. Such self-destroyers are known as pure monists. On the other hand, those who desire to maintain their individuality are dualists, or personalists
- Those whose senses are always engaged in serving or satisfying Krsna, he is the greatest yogi
- Though we may live very carefully, trying to avoid sins and strictly follow the path of nonviolence, still our lives are controlled by the cycle of karmic reactions. Hence, unwittingly we are forced to commit many kinds of sin
- Thousands of Europeans & Americans, say a few years ago - they did not know what is Krsna. But now you ask them, they will explain. They are not foolish, they are not uneducated. Unless they are situated in the spiritual platform, how they are sticking

- Three kinds of incarnations are already explained. Now the remainder three kinds of incarnations, manvantaravatara, yugavatara and saktyavesavatara
- Three phases of understanding of the Absolute. First, beginning, is Brahman, then further advanced, Paramatma; then, final advancement, Bhagavan
- Three things there are for knowledge: sadhu, saintly person; sastra, scripture; and guru. If you accept somebody as guru, then you have to corroborate it whether sastra says that he is guru or any saintly person says that he is guru
- Time factor is another manifestation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The beginning of creation, that is the beginning of kala. So that beginning is started by the Supreme Personality of Godhead: sa aiksata. These are the Vedic information
- Time is immemorial, and many, many millions of years ago there were living entities, more perfect living entities. They're still living. But we have no information
- Tirtha Maharaja belonged to Ramakrishna Mission Society. So he is very ambitious. He took the opportunity of starting this movement, finding out the saintly person. Apart from that, with his help this Gaudiya Mission was started, & gradually it developed
- Tirtha Maharaja has given a picture of himself with effulgence on his head. Such a shameless man, he is giving effulgence in the picture

- To approach Krsna is not very easy job, Krsna says in the BG, manusyanam sahasresu kascid yatati siddhaye yatatam api siddhanam. Those who are muktas . . . to become mukta, that is also difficult job. Out of many millions of jnanis, one becomes mukta
- To attain true, eternal happiness, which comes only after the dissipation of material bondage, is the real benefit for the soul. Any path that does not lead the soul to strive for this supreme goal - eternal transcendental bliss - is considered useless
- To awaken a person to Krsna consciousness. That is real mercy. Because for want of this Krsna consciousness he is suffering millions and millions of years
- To be agitated in the mind, that is not unnatural, but if you practice, then you'll not be agitated anymore. If you practice by your knowledge, then you'll not be agitated. That is called dhira. Dhiras tatra na muhyati (BG 2.13). You have to become dhira
- To become a brahmin means first of all, he must know what is Brahman and he must be actually situated in the activities of Brahman
- To become a devotee is not to become impotent, but everything has proper use. Just like if you are lusty, that lust should be utilized for Krsna. I am lusty to accumulate money. Yes, you bring money, but utilize it for Krsna

- To become a guru, then you require very good qualifications, and the best qualification is that he does not cheat

- To become a secretary of the president, personal assistant, it is not very easy job. It requires some qualification. Similarly, to serve Krsna, it requires some qualification

- To become disciple means to surrender, voluntarily accepting the instruction, the advice, the order of the spiritual master
- To become father of God means to give everything. Even the state, even his money, his bank balance, everything. That is the idea. And to become son of God means to take everything

- To become free, to become liberated means to become liberated from sex desire. That's all. This is the basic principle
- To become impotent is not good, but you have got full potency, but you can have sex life when it is required. To become impotent is not required. You should be fully potent, but not misuse it. That is required
- To become karmi is the third-class stage of life. One has to make progress further, so that one may become self-realized, brahma-bhutah
- To become king is not the ultimate goal of life. No. He has got another ultimate goal of life. He (Maharaja Yudhisthira) remained as a king as a matter of duty
- To become representative of Krsna is not very difficult. Simply one has to become very sincere. That's all. That whatever Krsna says, he will say. Just like Arjuna
- To become spiritually advanced means, "Just try to question about Krsna and try to understand the answers about Krsna." Then your life is. It is so nice
- To become under the lotus feet of Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu means you have got Krsna. You have already got. That is the verdict of the sastra and Caitanya-caritamrta

- To chant the holy name of the Lord means to achieve all auspicity
- To come to take the post of prime minister, to become the president, is not easy job. Aruhya krcchrena (SB 10.2.32), great hardship

- To deal with the asuras is not so easy job, but we have to do that. You should not be discouraged
- To desire like the dog, that is other desire, and to desire like a human being, that is real desire. Our philosophy does not teach to become desireless. That is not possible. Desire must be there. But it should not be other desire
- To eliminate any doubts in the mind of ordinary persons like us, Arjuna inquired that, Krsna, You are my friend. We are almost of the same age. How do you say that You explained this Bhagavad-gita millions and millions of years ago to the sun-god
- To err is human. Because we commit mistake, because we are sometimes illusioned, and because we have got a propensity of cheating others, and because our senses are imperfect, therefore, simply by mental speculation it is not possible to realize God
- To err is human. That is a fact; everyone will agree. Yes. Nobody can say, "I never committed any mistake." Nobody can say that. That is not possible. So long we have got this bodily concept of life, this is mistake
- To err is human. That is not fault, that is our habit. We commit mistake
- To err is human. There is no human being who can say boldly that, "I never committed any mistake." That is not possible
- To follow the four prohibitive rules and to daily chant sixteen rounds means they (devotees) cannot deviate
- To give them life again is Krsna's or Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's special gift. Therefore it is said, sri caitanya, prema-bhakti-vadanyata (CC Adi 7.1), His magnanimity. He delivered by His personal example Jagai-Madhai
- To give them relief from this mental agony, Suta Gosvami assured them that the Lord caused the members of the Yadu dynasty to relinquish their bodies
- To keep the body fit, everyone should act very nicely. Brain should work nicely, arm must be strong, belly must be fit to digest foodstuff, and leg must work
- To keep the whole human society in perfect happiness, according to the direction of God. Just like I told you that Krsna says, annad bhavanti bhutani. If you want to keep the living entities, both men and animal, you must arrange for their nice fooding
- To kill the miscreants this is astra, this hari-sankirtana. If they simply chant Hare Krsna, this is astra that will kill all their sinful reaction of life; they'll become devotee. This is astra
- To know God, it is not very easy job. And the Vedas also, it is stated, nayam atma pravacanena labhyo na medhaya na bahuna srutena. So this process is not good
- To know Krsna is not very easy job. Manusyanam sahasresu kascid yatati siddhaye (BG 7.3). Still, if Krsna is pleased, then He can make Himself known to a devotee
- To know the Absolute Truth is not possible by our present senses. Because at the present moment we have got material . . . materially affected; not material senses. Our sense are originally spiritual, but it is covered by material contamination
- To learn how to control senses, that is brahmacari. Where is that civilization? So establish. Give them food. Give them shelter. Give them knowledge. Don't be entangled in vagina civilization. It is most abominable civilization, condemned civilization
- To maintain the family, that is my duty. As comfortably as possible. That is my duty. One does not think that this kind of duty is performed even by animals. They have got also children, and they feed. So what is the difference?
- To maintain the social order you have to train some of the sudras to become brahmins, some of the sudras to become ksatriyas. It cannot depend on the sudras. Then there will be chaos

- To remain strong is not difficult, but we don't want to remain strong. That is our decision

- To teach people to work day and night for simply eating purposes, sense gratification, that is hog civilization, according to sastra
- To the government, both the departments are equal. Rather, sometimes the government has to spend more to the criminal department than to the educational department. Because they have to maintain both
- To understand Krsna and to understand the service of Krsna is very exalted post. Brahma-bhutah. One has to become brahma-bhutah, completely liberated. Then he can understand how to render service to Krsna
- To understand Krsna is not easy job, easy job. So one who has understood, "Here is Krsna with Radharani; let me serve," that position is very exalted position. That is not ordinary position
- To understand Krsna is not so easy job. But Krsna personally comes and teaches about Himself, and still if we do not take, that is our misfortune
- To understand Krsna is not so easy job. First of all one has to become siddha. And not only you become siddha, yatatam api siddhanam (BG 7.3), even one is siddha it is very difficult for him to understand tattvatah
- To understand Krsna is not so easy job. First of all, so many millions and millions of living entities are there. They are not interested. They are just like animals: "Eat, drink, be merry and enjoy." Nobody's interested what is the success of life
- To understand Krsna is not very easy job. But by the grace of Krsna you can understand Krsna. Krsna is explaining Himself. That is Krsna, great. You take

- To understand Krsna is very difficult job. Manusyanam sahasresu kascid yatati siddhaye (BG 7.3). Out of many millions of persons, one is endeavoring to make his life perfect. But they do not know what is perfection of life
- Trai-vidhya means three classes of men, and next first class, three, the men in goodness, men in passion, men in ignorance and men in mixed
- Transcendental loving service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna. That is our real identification. All other identifications are false or temporary
- Transcendental qualities are not acquired. Rather, material qualities are acquired. But transcendental qualities are there in minute particles. As the transcendental qualities are there in God, similarly, transcendental qualities are in living entities
- Transmigration of the soul means the soul is twice covered - subtle body and gross body, just like shirt and coat. So when this gross body is finished, the subtle body is there. It takes you to another body
- Truth does not come out of untruth. Truth comes from truth. Something comes from something; something does not come from nothing. This is voidism. So we should not be impersonalists. We should not be voidists
- Truth is truth. "Two plus two equal to four," it is accepted by the Hindus, Muslim, Christian and everyone. Science is science. So therefore we should be interested about inquiring. This is the confirmation in every scripture
- Truthful, clean, and controlling the mind, controlling the senses, simplicity in behavior, and tolerance, knowledge, application of knowledge in practical life, and full faith in God . . . that, these nine symptoms, brahma-karma svabhava-jam
- Try to accept the process by which we can get free from this conditioned life. The process is that we have to give up all our false consciousness
- Try to control. Become first-class controller, dhirah. That is called dhirah: not disturbed by any urges
- Try to engage yourself always in Krsna's service, and maya will not be able to touch you. Sa vai manah krsna-padaravindayoh
- Try to get knowledge directly from the Supreme Lord, as Bhagavad-gita is being spoken by the Supreme Lord, or statements of the pure devotees, just like Brahma is speaking. This way. Hearing. The main purpose is hearing, hearing from the right source
- Try to reveal Krsna. Don't try to see Krsna. Because with your eyes, with your senses, these material blunt senses, we cannot see
- Try to serve Krsna cent percent. That is proper utilization of life. The so-called philanthropy, altruism, humanitarianism, this ism, that . . . bogus . . . not bogus - useless. It will not help
- Try to understand that within this body there is the soul. The body is called in Sanskrit language, deha. And the soul, which possesses this body, just like I am possessing this body, you are possessing your body. We are all individual persons, soul
- Try to understand the philosophy and the science of Krsna consciousness. Don't be misled by sense gratification
- Try to understand, that a perfect, expert technologist or technician or mechanic is working, and somebody is working under his instruction. So this somebody, because he is strictly working under the instruction of the expert, he's also expert
- Try to understand. The real civilization is to know oneself, "What I am? Am I this body or something else?" That is real civilization
- Tulsi is part of Krishna's entourage, she is Krishna-ised or Krishna Conscious, and in this pure state she has all the qualities of Krishna, and therefore she becomes worshipable just like Krishna. There is a saying, love me, love my dog. It is like that
- Two forces of nature is acting upon us by which we decide that, "We now, this life, I shall make spiritual advancement." And next moment the illusory maya, or illusory energy, says: What nonsense spiritual life you are going to do? Just enjoy this here
- Two things: dedication to Krsna and dedication to the devotee of Krsna. So in this way if we advance, then it is very easy to become free from this material contamination
- Tyagena means charity. Not that you starve. No. That kind of starvation . . . you keep yourself fit to execute Krsna consciousness, but don't keep much money. Immediately give in charity to Krsna
- Tyagena. This is also one of the tapasya. Don't keep with you anything, then you will make plan: "Let me have illicit sex. Let me have intoxication." Best thing is, as soon as you get money, immediately you spend it for Krsna. Tyagena, charity
- Tyagi means, Oh, this is all material. Why shall I touch? Aham brahmasmi. I'm Brahman. I am nothing
- Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti (BG 4.9). This generally transmigration takes place in so many different varieties of life, but one who has perfected his devotional life, he immediately, after death, he goes to Krsna
- Tyaktva sva-dharmam caranambujam harer bhajann apakvo (SB 1.5.17). This verse is very important. Even by sentiment one comes to Krsna consciousness and discharges the regulative duties, chants Hare Krsna, his next life is guaranteed as a human being
U
- Udara-vegam is the urge of the belly: "I shall eat this, I shall eat that, I shall eat that." Why? Simply you shall eat bhagavat-prasadam. Prasade sarva-duhkhanam
- Ultimate satisfaction of the Lord is the chief purpose of all yajnas. When these sacrifices are perfectly performed, the demigods in charge of the different departments of supply are pleased, and there is no scarcity in the flow of natural products
- Ultimate transmigration means go back to home, back to Godhead. That should be the aim of life. That is first-class intelligent. But they do not know. Therefore we are trying to render our humble service to the human society, to give this information
- Ultimately the conclusion is that I love Krsna and, because the soul is part and parcel of Krsna, therefore I love the soul. And because the soul loves within this body, therefore I love . . . there is no difficulty to understand
- Under condition, this law of gravitation works. It is not unconditional. Then the question will . . . who will make the condition
- Under the circumstances, whatever Krsna says, Bhagavan says . . . sri-bhagavan uvaca, mayy asakta-manah partha. The real business is to increase your attachment for Krsna. This is your real business
- Understanding Krsna, is not so easy job. It is not so easy. But any person, either in karma-yoga or jnana-yoga or dhyana-yoga or hatha-yoga, if he comes in contact with a devotee, bhakti-yogi, then he can understand Krsna
- Unfortunately there is no discussion, there is no education, there is no institute for these important factors of life, and people are kept in darkness. This is Kali-yuga. They do not care to know
- Unfortunately there is no such education all over the world to deal with the real problem. They are simply tackling some temporary problem and spoiling the human form of life to solve these petty problems
- Unfortunately we do not refer to the authority of the sastras. We manufacture our own way
- Unfortunately you do not know God. We do not try to understand what is God. Neither there is any education, to teach actually what is God, what is His function, how does He live, where does He live, what does He order. That is the missing part
- Unfortunately you have no brain; therefore you misunderstand. On this point the Bhagavad-gita will explain. What do you think? "Brainwash or brain-giving?" This should be the heading
- Unfortunately, at the present moment, the education is simply for sense gratification. That is animalistic education
- Unfortunately, Bhagavad-gita has been misinterpreted by so many commentators that people have misunderstood the Bhagavad-gita. Actually, Bhagavad-gita means to develop Krsna consciousness, and we are trying to do that
- Unfortunately, everyone is killing for his sense gratification in the name of religion. In the name of religion, although it is prohibited, still they are killing
- Unfortunately, instead of taking shelter of Krsna, we have taken shelter of lusty desires. This is demonic
- Unfortunately, the stubborn impersonalists cannot comprehend that the final spiritual destination, beyond the four Vedic goals (religiosity, economic development, sense gratification, and liberation) is absolutely pure and transcendental love of Godhead
- Unfortunately, there are many scholars, academic scholars of Bhagavad-gita, but because they do not come in the disciplic succession from Krsna, they misinterpret the real sense of Bhagavad-gita and mislead the whole human society
- Unfortunately, there are so many interpreters, they interpret the verses in their own way. That is the nonsense of the whole thing. But if Bhagavad-gita understood as it is, oh, it is a great boon to the human society
- Unfortunately, there is no education, there is no knowledge about this throughout the whole world. We are thinking that after annihilation of this body everything is finished. No. That is not the fact
- Unfortunately, there is no educational system; neither do they know the process of transmigration of the soul. So everyone is in ignorance
- Unfortunately, these materialistic persons, they do not know what is his real interest. The real interest is Visnu, how to serve Visnu

- United Nations under Caitanya Mahaprabhu's flag, do everywhere. It is possible. Always that is simply a false attempt. This is the real
- Unless God has got form, two hands, two legs, like that, how man has got two hands, two legs? If we are imitation of God, then God must be person. This is natural conclusion
- Unless one becomes devotee, one has to follow this varnasrama-dharma. This is the idea. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is speaking from the devotional platform. He did not say when He was actually acting as a brahmin in Navadvipa
- Unless one becomes nonenvious, mahatma, there is no question of so-called unity or fraternity. These are all false propaganda

- Unless one will come to the platform of self-realization, we are in the trouble, so long we are not self-realized
- Unless people see the ideal men, how they will follow? The brahmana is compared with the brain of the body. Unless there is brain, what is the use of these hands and legs? If one's brain is cracked, madman, he cannot do anything

- Unless there is mercy of Krsna, there is no possibility of understanding Krsna. Atah sri-krsna-namadi na bhaved grahyam indriyaih (CC Madhya 17.136). By your these blunt material senses you cannot understand what is the name of Krsna, namadi
- Unless there is sufficient grain . . . people are giving more stress how to produce machine, but they are not giving any stress how to produce foodstuff. So many land are lying vacant

- Unless we deny to accept Krsna's instruction, there is no secret. Everything is open
- Unless we have a bona fide teacher of the Vedas, it is very difficult to understand Vedic language and take advantage of it

V
- Vaco vegam krodha-vegam, manasa-vegam, mind. It has got so many urges. Mind is driving practically, "Let us go there, let us go there, let us do this, let us . . ." Never mind sinful or pious, mind is always dictating and rejecting
- Vaikuntha life means sac-cid-ananda. Krsna's body is sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah (Bs. 5.1). Not only Krsna's body; anyone who lives in the spiritual world, his body is spiritual body, and spiritual body means sat, cit, ananda

- Vaisnava, instead of material benediction, he gets all spiritual benediction
- Vanaprastha life is accepted, generally, after fiftieth year, not earlier. Then the husband and wife travels all over, I mean to say, spiritual sanctified places. In India there are so many places. So in this way, there is no sex in the vanaprastha

- Vedaham samatitani (BG 7.26): "I know everything." That is Krsna. But we do not know. That is the difference. Krsna is not impersonal. He's also a person. His personality is supreme. Nobody is greater than Him. These are the Vedic information
- Vedanta is the compilation by Vyasadeva. So he knows what, what he wants to speak. What others have got the right? Just like Bhagavad-gita. The purpose of Bhagavad-gita is known by Krsna. Why the rascals comment in different way?

- Vedas says that: If you make such-and-such sacrifice, then you will be elevated to such-and-such higher planetary system to become demigods and enjoy beautiful woman, higher standard of life. veda-vada-ratah partha nanyad astiti vadinah

- Vedic information is: God means who has no equal and who has no greater person than Him. Bhagavad-gita was spoken by Krsna, and here it is said, Bhagavan uvaca. So Bhagavan, the Supreme God, means Krsna. That is the statement in all Vedic literature

- Vedic language cannot be understood by the less intelligent class of men, who are known as woman, sudra and dvija-bandhu
- Vedic language is so difficult. It is sometimes very difficult to understand. So Purana, another meaning of purana means "supplement." So they are explanation of the Vedic knowledge in a supplementary way by taking references from the history
- Vedic literature is very old. Nobody can trace out the history. So far we understand, it is not man-made. It is coming out from transcendental world by disciplic succession
- Vedic literature means to receive knowledge, authoritative knowledge. Not false knowledge
- Vedic literature teaches us that tarko 'pratisthah: "In the spiritual matter, you cannot argue." Your argument will be failure because you may be very good arguer, but I may come, I can cut all your arguments

- Vedic mantras are received not by learning Sanskrit, but by hearing from the authorized person. Therefore it is called sruti

- Very cheap thing: "You can do whatever you like. You simply meditate and become God. That's all." So much cheating is going on everywhere
- Very expert swimming, but that does not mean happiness. Similarly, here, in the ocean of nescience, all these rascals are swimming. They are making plans to become happy, but they are not happy
- Very good life, the village life - provided he has got proper engagement. Otherwise his mind will be disturbed, and he'll seek after wine, after women, after this, after that. Devil's workshop
- Very important verse. Tad abhud asad isa-riktam. Everything will be null and void when there is no God. That's it
- Very nice example. We are changing bodies. When you were born, there was no beard - clean shaved or no hair. So that body has changed. It is not the same body. In which body you came out of the womb of your mother, that was a small body
- Very nice system, everything was there - but for the purpose of realization of the highest truth. That is the civilization
- Very simple philosophy. Because we are part and parcel of Krsna. If Krsna is born, then I am born. If Krsna is not born, then I'm . . . I am not born. Krsna is aja, so we are also aja
- Vidhi-marga is called bhakti-yoga. Vidhi-marga means by following the regulative principles of sastra, orders of the spiritual master, when we engage ourself in devotional service, that is called vidhi-marga
- Vidura left home. Although he belonged to the royal family, his nephew Duryodhana behaved with him not very nicely, so he left home

- Vipratve sutram eva hi (SB 12.2.3): to become a brahmana means a thread, a two-cent worth, one thread. That's all. This is going on. These are all foretold
- Virahena, always feeling separation of Krsna, this is Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s teaching. Not that "I have got now Krsna." No. Caitanya Mahaprabhu never said. His direct disciples, the Gosvamis, they simply begged separation: Where is Krsna?
- Visuddha-sattva means goodness where no other quality can contaminate. Here even one man is very good man, sometimes he is tinged with passion or ignorance. Just like I told you that Gandhi, he was a recognized good man, but he committed so many mistakes
- Visvam means the whole universal creation. Because it is creation of God - God has created - therefore the whole universe, the whole creation is also God, although it appears different from God
- Visvamitra Muni could kill that raksasi, but because he was brahmana, it was not his business to kill. He begged help from Maharaja Dasaratha to lend Lord Ramacandra and Laksmana, to take Him there. This is the systematic way
- Vivekananda has influence here in higher class, amongst educated class. They talk about Vivekananda and this and that, nonsense
- Vrndavana is village life. It is not a town like Los Angeles. It is village. It is village, and they are always taking pleasure on the bank of Yamuna
- Vrndavana life means all attachment for Krsna. Mother Yasoda is attached to Krsna, Nanda Maharaja is attached to Krsna, the cowherd boys are attached to Krsna, the calves and cows are attached to Krsna, Radharani is attached to Krsna, that is Vrndavana
- Vrndavana life means Krsna comes, descends Himself to show what is Krsna, what is God. So the picture, Vrndavana life, that is village life. There are villagers, cultivators, cows, calves - that is Vrndavana
- Vrndavana life means the gopis, the cowherd boys, the cowherdsmen, the elderly men, Nanda Maharaja, Yasodarani, every cows, calves, trees, flowers, Yamuna - everyone is dedicated to Krsna. That is Vrndavana. They have no other business
- Vyasadeva found it that directly to understand Vedic knowledge will be difficult for three classes of men. Trayi na sruti-gocara. Trayi means Vedas, dealing with the three gunas
- Vyasadeva given us immense literature. Immense literature. He has written Mahabharata. He has written the eighteen puranas. One of the puranas is the Bhagavata Purana. And he has written the Upanisads
- Vyasadeva has given the symptoms of Kali-yuga. One thing, there will be no rain, scarcity of rain. And naturally there will be scarcity . . . Durbhiksa. Durbhiksa means you will not be able to get anything by begging also. Bhiksa
- Vyasadeva is a disciple of Narada. Prahlada - these are big devotees - he was also disciple of Narada. And Dhruva, he was also disciple of Narada. Valmiki, he was also disciple of Narada. So Narada is the representation of the devotional path of opulence
- Vyasadeva or big, big saintly person, they have no business to present before you something mythology. Why they should waste time in that way? It is simply rascaldom to think all the statement as mythology. Not mythology. We have no knowledge
W
- Water is coming from your body, so why not from the gigantic body of Krsna the oceans, millions of oceans, come out? This should be the understanding
- Water is distributed over the land, and there will be sufficient food grains. And annad bhavanti bhutani (BG 3.14). And if there is sufficient to eat, as sufficient eatables to the animals and to the men, then everything is prosperous
- Water is the same, my skin is the same, but due to seasonal changes, the same water is sometimes pleasing and sometimes distressing. Matra-sparsas tu kaunteya sitosna-sukha-duhkha-dah
- We accept him (Jesus) as avatara, saktyavesa-avatara, empowered incarnation of God. That we accept
- We accept knowledge from authority. Authority. Just like this statement is given by Krsna. Krsna is accepted as the authority by all the acaryas, in the Bhagavad-gita
- We accept Ramacandra as God. He brought big, big stones and floated over the ocean. Does a stone float over the ocean? Yes, it floats under the order of God. He can . . . He can do it. The law of gravitation will not act there
- We accept this Krsna's word as final, that's all
- We all, living entities within this material world, we are worshiper of the material nature. The scientist also trying to find out means how to exploit the resources of material nature. That is also one kind of worshiping
- We are all brahma. Brahma means spirit soul. You are brahma, I am brahma, everyone. Or you can say we are all God. But the greatest God is different. He is different. That is Krsna
- We are all prisoners within the material world, and some of us are first-class prisoners, and some of us second class, and some are third class
- We are all suffering in this blazing fire of material existence. The spiritual master brings the message from the Supreme Lord and delivers you. And if you kindly accept, then you'll be satisfied. This is the business of the spiritual master
- We are also part and parcel of Krsna. Therefore our position is the same, maybe in small scale
- We are always thinking how I shall cheat somebody. And naturally, he's also thinking to cheat me. So the whole conditional life is the association of cheaters and cheated, that's all
- We are animals of the land, so if we are put into the water, then however expert swimmer I may be or you may be, it is simply struggle for existence
- We are atomic small, and Krsna is unlimitedly great. That is the difference. Otherwise, so far quality is concerned, Krsna and ourself, the same. As the parts and parcel of Krsna, if we live always with Krsna, then we are in spiritual life
- We are being accepted by learned circle, and who cares for these rascals? Nobody cares. Only some sentiment. There is no science, there is no knowledge. Here it is authoritative knowledge based on Vedic culture
- We are being out of contact with God; we are not very happy. The whole world is unhappy
- We are busy with mundane knowledge, but the most important part of knowledge is transcendental knowledge, "What I am? Where from I have come? What is my constitutional position? Am I this body or I am beyond this body?" These are transcendental knowledge
- We are changing this body on account of presence of this life. In this way there are so many so-called scholars of Bhagavad-gita, they do not understand even the first lesson actually. Asmin dehe. Dehino 'smin yatha dehe
- We are changing. But the consciousness is not vinasi. Avinasi tu tad viddhi yena sarvam idam tatam. So because the consciousness is not changed, it is creating another body according to consciousness
- We are chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra, but if we become at least once in life in ecstasy in chanting Hare Krsna, then all our sinful reaction of life is finished
- We are concerned with the laws of God. God may be dead or alive - it doesn't matter. Suppose by law we are prisoners, we are in the prison house, and all of a sudden the president or the king dies. Does it mean you shall be free? No. You have to rot
- We are conducting Krsna consciousness. But if the government cooperates that a certain number of students must be trained up scientifically what is the meaning of God, that will be very much beneficial to the state or to the country
- We are conscious that "I am not this body." This is Krsna consciousness movement. Otherwise how it would accommodate Indians, Africans, Americans? They are chanting, they are dancing, they are eating
- We are conscious that, "I am not this body." This is Krsna consciousness movement. Otherwise, how we could accommodate Indians, Africans, Americans, others; they are chanting, they are dancing, they are eating
- We are creating our next body in this life. So if we become sinful, or if we act only sinful activities, then we get next body a very lower class of body, even as the germ in the stool. And if we act nicely, piously, then we get better body
- We are dealing with this subject matter authoritatively from Vedic literature. It is coming since a very long time, so there is no bluff, there is no charge; there is no particular type of labor. You can take advantage of this, and you are always welcome
- We are decorating this body with flower, ornaments, nice cloth. How long? So long the life is there. Then it is beautiful. Otherwise no more beautiful
- We are dependent. Without light, without air, without rain or water, how we can live? So we are completely dependent, but on account of false prestige, less intelligence, we are thinking that we are free
- We are different parts and parcels of Krsna, God, we must act accordingly. Just like my hand. If the hand is in proper place, he can act nicely. But if I cut the leg and make hand, then it is all lost. One must act according to his qualification
- We are disciplic succession from Brahma; therefore our process is to follow the footsteps of acaryas. Acaryopasanam
- We are discussing about spirit soul, not the Indian, American, Christian, Hindu. No. We have no business with this skin philosophy, that "Here is an American, white; and here is an African, black." No
- We are discussing about the characteristics of the demons. So they have lost their intelligence. Etam drstim avastabhya nastatmanah alpa-buddhayah (BG 16.9). Nastatmanah. Atmanah means spirit soul. So they have lost the sense of spirit soul
- We are discussing the instruction of Prahlada Maharaja because he happens to be one of the stalwart acaryas. And the names of such acaryas, authorized acaryas, are also mentioned in the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- We are discussing the point, "Who requires a guru?" If you are actually serious about understanding the spiritual subject matter, brahma-jijnasa . . . Not this market value
- We are distributing this Hare Krsna mantra not with any charges. Free. We are chanting; anyone can hear and repeat it
- We are doing it. In a small scale it is going on, but if we get some support of the authorities, we can push on in larger scale
- We are drinking water for the taste. That taste is Krsna. Similarly, if you explain this law of gravitation which we have discovered is Krsna, prove it by your scientific knowledge, that will be your service
- We are engaged in philanthropic work, to give food to the poor, as if God is unable to give food to the poor, because we have taken the position of God. So this is not our business. God has food for everyone
- We are engaged in this unreal body, sense gratification. We have got senses. So therefore Bhagavad-gita says, sukham atyantikam yat tad atindriya-grahyam (BG 6.21). Atindriya-grahyam. Beyond the senses
- We are entrapped here in this material world in sense happiness. If our senses are satisfied, we think we are happy. But Bhagavad-gita says that real happiness is to be searched out beyond the senses, transcendental
- We are envious of our friends, envious of our father, our son even, what to speak of others - businessmen, nation, society, community, only enviousness, matsarata. "Why he should go ahead?" I become envious
- We are erecting our center there on a very big scale. We shall be able to go there and read and learn Vaisnava philosophy. Arrangement is being made there. So that is Navadvipa
- We are eternal. We understand from Bhagavad-gita, na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). So if I am eternal, then why I am accepting death? This is real question. But foolishly we are thinking, "I am this body": therefore we remain as an animal
- We are existing now; and after so-called death, or after quitting this body, we shall still exist." Now, the question will be, "How I shall exist, either as American, Indian, or something else?" So that is very intelligent question
- We are explaining Krsna consciousness here. And as you say, that most of the Westerners, they do not know the meaning. So we are present here to explain the meaning. So that is our humble service
- We are feeding ordinary child, which is done by cats and dogs also, but Mother Yasoda is feeding Krsna. The same process. The process there is no difference, but one is the Krsna center and the other is whimsical center. That is the difference
- We are fighting due to different consciousness. But if we really come to the platform of spiritual consciousness, or Krsna consciousness, then you will become immediately one. Oneness
- We are flattering Laksmiji, "Give me some favor," but Krsna doesn't flatter anyone. Sometimes He does out of love to Radharani. That Laksmi is Radharani. Therefore She is the topmost of all Laksmis. So why Krsna will be beggar, daridra
- We are getting repeatedly different types of body. Now we should purify this bodily existence. And that purification in this age, it is very, very simple: chant Hare Krsna. That's all
- We are given the opportunity by nature to utilize our consciousness, to utilize our intelligence, to understand God. But if we do not utilize, if we live like cats and dog, then next life we have to accept, by nature's law, the body of cats and dogs
- We are giving a message by which everyone can be happy in this life and next life also. Generally, all religious sects, they do not believe in the next life. Or even they believe, they have no clear idea of the next life
- We are giving chance to become fortunate. This is our mission. The most unfortunate is getting the chance of becoming fortunate. Any one of us can consider this, how from unfortunate life they are coming to fortunate. This is Krsna consciousness movement
- We are giving Krsna consciousness. That is loving, real loving. We are giving him eternal life, eternal bliss. Unless we love them, why we are taking so much trouble?
- We are going to give education how to become spiritually advanced. That is our purpose
- We are hearing from authorities like Lord Krsna. He says, na jayate na mriyate va kadacit: My dear Arjuna, a living entity does not take birth. There is no birth, death, old age, disease of the spirit soul
- We are hearing Srimad-Bhagavatam. This is knowledge also. And when you see there are three kinds of receiving knowledge . . . One is sruti. Sruti means hearing. So our Vedic process is that we hear the Vedic information, and we become perfect
- We are in ignorance. We do not know. We are accepting this body as "I am." So many animal propensities, animal condition. So if we remain in animal condition of life, then that is aghavan
- We are indebted, we are obliged, to the devas, the demigods. Just like we are indebted to the sun. You require so much heat and light, and the sun is supplying you profuse heat and light. Are you not indebted?
- We are insignificant creature. So many persons. You cannot avoid it. The best way is to learn how to tolerate. That is very nice. Otherwise Caitanya Mahaprabhu not have said taror api sahisnuna. That is the best
- We are interested in spiritual subject matter. Therefore the process is adau gurv-asrayam: one has to accept a bona fide spiritual master. That is our process
- We are introducing the simple living, that go to the village, have sufficient food grains and milk. And the experiment is successful in the Western countries - in New Vrindavan, in Philadelphia, in New Orleans
- We are just like reflection of God. So as in the mirror the reflection you can see the beauty, similarly by serving God you serve your society, you serve your country, you serve yourself - everything. This is the secret
- We are just trying to revive this original consciousness of the human society. That is called Krsna consciousness. Don't try to misunderstand. Original consciousness
- We are known practically all over the world as the Hare Krsna people. Wherever we go, they immediately recognize us as the Hare Krsna people
- We are minute particle of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Mamaivamso jiva-bhutah (BG 15.7). We are not Krsna, but Krsna's part, minute part. That minute part also we have discussed - one ten-thousandth part of the upper portion of the hair
- We are minute particles, just like the sun and the sun rays. The sunshine, the sun rays, they are also combination of molecules of some shining material. So that sunshine is not different from the sun, but at the same time, sunshine is not the sun
- We are missing the center. The center is God, or Krsna. With God center, if we expand our activities - either country's service or society's service or family's service - you expand, but keep the center, then it will be very nice. It will never overlap
- We are not absolute controller. We are relative controller. But about Krsna it is said, isvarah paramah krsnah (Bs. 5.1). Paramah means supreme. He controls everyone or everything, but He is not controlled by anyone
- We are not charging anything that, "You give me fee, I shall give you some secret mantra, and within six months you shall become God." No. It is open for everyone
- We are not going to change it. We are not after vox populi. That is not our concern. We have got our standard method
- We are not going to do it. Better make it a doll exhibition. And give them prasadam free
- We are not impersonalists or voidists. Our program is to enter into the association of Krishna. But we cannot enter within this association without being completely disinfected from the contamination of material sinful life
- We are not in the platform of offenseless chanting, still, we must go on chanting. It will gradually make our heart cleansed and we'll be offenseless. Ceto-darpana-marjanam bhava-maha-davagni-nirvapanam
- We are not inventing anything. We are talking on the basis of authoritative knowledge contained in the Vedas
- We are not meant for cheating anyone. We have no business. But to lead one to Krsna consciousness we may say something sometimes. So that is not cheating
- We are not meant for cutting wood and stone. We are meant for understanding our spiritual identity
- We are not meant for death, neither we are meant for birth. That is explained in the Bhagavad-gita. Na jayate na mriyate va: "The spirit soul is never born, neither he dies." Nityah sasvato
- We are not meant for enjoying. We are meant for serving. Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, jivera svarupa haya-nitya-krsna-dasa (CC Madhya 20.108-109): "Our real identity is to serve, to remain under the protection . . ." We are always under the protection
- We are not meant for exploiting. We have something to give to the whole world. That is Krsna consciousness. That is the mission of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- We are not meant for giving people false information. We are trying to give you information from authoritative scriptures, Vedas. If you are fortunate enough, if you take this information, try to understand by your reasoning, by your logic, and adopt it
- We are not meant for giving you any bluff, that "You give me some fee," or "I shall give you some mantra, and whatever you like you can do, and if you meditate or do that, then you'll become one with God." These things are not our business
- We are not meant for going to the cinema or for other sense gratification purposes, but because we have got this body, there is no question that we shall stop eating. We eat prasadam, krsna-prasadam, and that is very palatable
- We are not meant for material realization. We are meant for spiritual realization, the human form. So that we should take advantage of. That is the mission of human form of life. If we miss this, then we are committing suicide
- We are not meant for moving anyone's sentiment against animal slaughter, we are neither Buddhists or Jains, whose propaganda is against animal slaughter. The so-called vegetarians who do not take Krishna prasadam are as much sinful as the non-vegetarians
- We are not meant for suffering. If we are sons of God, who is full with all opulence, why should we suffer
- We are not meant for that civilization. We are meant for the civilization by which one can understand his position, constitutional position, aham brahmasmi. Therefore our activities are different from the hogs' and dogs'
- We are not meant for the ksatriya's business or vaisya's business, the devotees, but if required they can take. Real business is, brahmin's business is to know the Vedas, the Brahman, the Supreme Brahman, the Absolute Truth
- We are not taught even during our age of education that we are not this body and something else. This was being done in ancient times, our forefathers. When the boys were going to the guru, in asrama
- We are not upstart. We have not manufactured a sampradaya. It is coming from Lord Brahma. Similarly, there is Ramanuja-sampradaya. They are coming from Sri-sampradaya. Similarly, there is Visnu Svami. They are coming from Lord Siva, Rudra-sampradaya
- We are now forgotten our intimate relationship with God. We cannot be disconnected. That is not possible. Because we are part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, there cannot be disconnection
- We are offering Krsna, according to the ritualistic process, and you see the taste of the food is changed immediately. That is practical
- We are opening centers in different parts of the world to give opportunity to the people to understand his real interest: Visnu, his real interest. That is our mission
- We are opening several centers of Krsna consciousness movement. Not only we are . . . here are many other centers also to hear about God. That is very essential. Sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam pada-sevanam
- We are opening so many centers all over the world. This is the policy, that people may take chance of associating with devotees and the chance of serving the Vaisnava. Then it will be successful
- We are part and parcel of God, a minute particle; still, we have got so many potencies. Every man, not only man, the animals also, they have got various potencies, creative energy. So just imagine how much creative energies and potencies are there in God
- We are part and parcel of God. We have got little independence. But if we misuse it, then we shall be punished. So there is no question of independence. Independence, little; that is interdependence, not independence
- We are practically driven by the uncontrolled mind and uncontrolled senses. So when you come to the brahminical position, then your senses become controlled, your mind become controlled
- We are practically seeing in our New Vrindaban center, because the cow are feeling secure in our custody, they're delivering milk up to the eighty pounds daily. You'll be surprised
- We are preaching all over the world, and there is little response. We are selling our books very nicely. So our main purpose is to spread Krsna consciousness. That is our mission
- We are preaching God consciousness. God is God. God is neither Christian, nor Hindu, nor Muslim. God is God. So everyone should be God conscious. That is our movement
- We are preaching love of God. So it doesn't matter what type of religion one is following; we simply want to see that he has love for God
- We are preaching that, "Chant the holy name of God." And if you haven't got any name of God, then you chant our conception of name of God, "Krsna." We don't say Krsna
- We are preaching this. We don't say that you become one of us. You chant the holy name of the Lord, that's all
- We are preaching. This is actually good for, that he must know what he is and what is the ultimate goal of life. This is required. Material preaching has no value. That is stated in the Caitanya-caritamrta, ei bhala ei manda, saba manodharma
- We are presenting Bhagavad-gita As It Is to induce people to take as it is. Don't make any amendment, interpretation. As Krsna says, you do it; then your life is successful
- We are presenting the standard method. This is Bhagavad-gita As It Is. As it is, without any malinterpretation, we are presenting as it is
- We are propagating, teaching people how to love God. That is our mission. We don't say that you become Christian or Hindu or Muslim . . . No. You become a lover of God. So comparatively, the process which we are recommending, that is the easiest process
- We are receiving so many benefits through the agents of Supreme Personality of Godhead, & we do not acknowledge even, "God is great. He's supplying us nice foodstuff," so how much ungrateful the human society has become. And they want peace & prosperity
- We are recommending chanting of the holy name of God. If the Muslim or Japanese or the Christian, they have got the holy name of God, that is also as good
- We are recommending no illicit sex, no intoxication, no gambling and no meat-eating. But this is the basic principle of modern civilization. So the foundation is threatened
- We are recommending the followers of Krsna consciousness. First of all try to become sinless: no illicit sex life, no intoxication, no meat-eating, no gambling. Observe these four regulative principle and chant Hare Krsna mantra as far as possible
- We are recommending, "Please rise early in the morning at half past three. Be prepared for mangala-arati" - it is very difficult job
- We are scientist, we are technicians and so on, so on. We create our own thing," that means they don't dovetail with Krsna; therefore they are materialist. When we want to enjoy life without Krsna, that is material
- We are serious about how to make our sense gratification very nicely. That is our seriousness. Human advancement, advancement of civilization means how nicely you can gratify your senses. This is going on
- We are so fool that we do not understand what is the real problem of life. We are simply busy in temporary problems. Real problem is that a living being is eternal, and by the laws of nature, by his karma, he has to change his body. That is real problem
- We are so fool, we cannot realize. We accept, "This life is very pleasant. Let me enjoy it." It is not pleasant at all. Seasonal changes, always. This distress or that distress; this disease or that disease
- We are so foolish, we are thinking that "God is dead, and I shall continue my life, and my wife, my children, my countrymen, my nation will save me." That is not possible
- We are so much captivated by the external energy, maya, that the whole program is how to forget Visnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But our real aim of life is to know our relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu
- We are soliciting everyone, "Please chant Hare Krsna." So it is open. There is no secrecy. You can take it and see by chanting Hare Krsna what gain you are gaining
- We are speaking of the demons, materialistic person. Demon means materialistic person, who are simply busy for these temporary bodily comforts. They do not know anything else
- We are spirit soul and God is the Supreme Soul. All the souls have come, emanated from Him. He is the Supreme Soul, and Paramatma. The exact word used in the Vedic language, Paramatma, Parabrahma, Paramesvara
- We are spirit souls, aham brahmasmi. We have nothing to do with this material world. But somehow or other, I am in contact. So simply I have to be contactless
- We are spreading Krsna consciousness movement for understanding this simple philosophy, that we are not this body. We have to rectify, or purify, this knowledge that, "I am this body." That is Krsna consciousness movement
- We are spreading that Krsna consciousness movement to let you know the Supreme Controller and how He is controlling. These things are preliminary discussed in this Bhagavad-gita
- We are spreading the Krsna consciousness movement for understanding this simple philosophy, that we are not this body. We have to rectify or purify this knowledge that I am this body. That is Krsna consciousness movement. It is very simple
- We are stressing on pushing on these books because a modern man, if he purchases one book, then at least he will see one line, "What these nonsense have written?" So if he reads one line, if he is intelligent man, he will understand the value
- We are struggling against these nirvisesa-sunyavadi, voidists and impersonalists. So it is not now new. From time immemorial there are different views
- We are suffering on account of this diseased condition. This material life means diseased condition. It is not our real, but they do not know
- We are taking so much milk from the cows, and we are killing instead of giving them protection. So in this way, we are simply committing sinful life. How you can expect to become happy? So the only means is to take to Krsna consciousness
- We are talking of Krsna; nobody is coming. Nobody is coming. Only few, selected. Vasudeva-katha rucih. There is no taste for hearing krsna-katha
- We are talking so many things, whole day and night. But if we utilize this tongue for chanting Hare Krsna mantra, what is the loss there? That is the injunction of the sastras
- We are teaching in our Dallas children simply to learn Sanskrit. They have nothing to do anything else. They are not going to be technologist or servant of everyone. No. We want some generation who can preach Krsna consciousness
- We are teaching sad-acara, rise early in the morning, take your bath, change your cloth, wash your mouth, and then go to the Deity room and have mangala arotika, then study, so many, simply sad-acara. Sat means "that will exist," and acara means behavior
- We are teaching, "Stop your this cycle of repetition of birth, death, old age and disease. Come to eternal life and blissful life." So we are the only friends. All are enemies even in the shape of friend or father or teacher - enemies
- We are teaching. Members are gradually learning how to sacrifice for God. So when he is completely trained up, he knows that nothing belongs to him; everything belongs to God
- We are training them as ideal man - by character, by religion, by behavior, by education. That is the purpose of this Krsna consciousness movement. And you can see practically what was their previous life and what they are now
- We are trying to be happy in this place of miserable condition, manufacturing so many ways of life. In the modern age they are thinking that, If we have got a very nice car and nice residential quarter and nice wife
- We are trying to become friend of my countrymen, of my society, of my family. But that is a wrong conception. Real friend is Krsna. I can work on His behalf
- We are trying to create an ideal society of brahmin. Then people will be benefited
- We are trying to create some sadhu so that in different parts of the world they will preach Krsna consciousness, and people will be able to associate with them, and they will become purified. This is KC movement, that sadhu-sanga. It is very essential
- We are trying to elevate the demoralized human society to God consciousness
- We are trying to give protection to the cows, to the animals, to the trees. This is sarva-bhuta-hite ratah. If one is not devoted to Krsna, he cannot become sarva-bhuta-hite ratah. Kleso 'dhikataras tesam (BG 12.5). Simply they will suffer, that's all
- We are trying to make our disciples perfectly men of character: no illicit sex, no intoxication, no gambling, no meat-eating. And people will take it very lightly. Because they do not know what is brahminical culture, what is the perfection of human life
- We are trying to make our students the first-class yogi, always think of Krsna. This is our Krsna consciousness movement
- We are trying to present Bhagavad-gita as it is. That is our mission, that you produce food grains sufficiently and give protection to the cows so that food grains and milk will give you all benefits of economic question. You'll be satisfied
- We are trying to push on this movement, change the consciousness. Now our consciousness is polluted, muddy. Somebody is thinking, "I am Indian," somebody is thinking, "I am American," and they are fighting one another
- We are trying to render our humble service to the human society, to give this information that, You are trying for so many things for becoming happy, but instead of being happy, you are becoming hippie. So take this KC, and actually you will be happy
- We are trying to spread His (Lord Caitanya's) message throughout the whole world, and by the grace of His Lordship we are getting good response
- We are under false consciousness. I am thinking, "I am Indian," you are thinking you are German, and the dog is thinking, "I am dog". So this bodily consciousness, bodily concept of life, will keep us conditioned within the material nature
- We are very doubtful whether they have gone to the moon planet. From the sastra it appears they haven’t gone. You can see. Otherwise why they have stopped talking of the moon?
- We are very, very fallen souls. We cannot do anything. It is very, very difficult. Although at any time, as it is said before, kevalaya bhaktya. Simply by bhakti, devotional service, one can become liberated from all contamination. That's a fact
- We are working for Krsna, and if we die we go to Krsna. So what is the loss
- We are working so hard for sense gratification, we are never satisfied. But if one-hundredth part of this labor, if we devote for understanding Krsna consciousness, our life will be successful. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s teachings. Try to understand
- We ask every day, Who is the proprietor of the sea? They do not know. But Krsna said, I am the proprietor, sarva-loka-mahesvaram, not only of this sea. This Pacific Ocean is only one, insignificant. There are millions of Pacific Ocean flying in the sky
- We become cyuta, fallen down. But Krsna is Acyuta. He never falls down
- We become intelligent after death. And while we are living, we are in ignorance. This is the modern civilization
- We being very teeny, small, fragmental, atomic part and parcel of Krsna, although we have got all the ingredients of Krsna, still, we require protection. Just like the child and the father
- We can argue, a good argument, logic, that you won’t find life by combination of these material elements. That is not possible. Therefore a sane man must consider that life does not belong to these eight elements. This is dead matter. There is no life
- We can be trained up how to become bona fide disciple, how to find out bona fide guru, how to establish our relationship with guru and act accordingly and make our life successful
- We can die at any moment. Adhruvam, but arthadam. Although it is adhruvam - there is no guarantee - but whatever period we get, we can utilize it for the best purpose. Arthadam. We can gain the ultimate goal of life
- We can expect that material conditions are going to become very much worse than this. They may come or not. Now we don't care for it. Let us establish an ideal society
- We can fulfill our desire also in proportion. Not that I am a small quantity of seawater, and I possess million tons of salt. That is not possible. This is most unscientific. You can possess according to the proportion of your existence
- We can have the facility of drinking milk, which will help us in keeping our health in order and developing very nice brain tissues to understand spiritual subject matter. Fish-eaters, they're all dull. They cannot understand finer philosophy of life
- We can perceive that "My real friend or my real father, the soul, who is different from this body . . ." And now, at the present moment, "He is my father, he is my friend who is this body" - that is animal vision
- We can see that these three classes of men - one in great prosperity, one via-media and one in want - these three classes of men there are, everywhere, all over the world
- We cannot accept this defective knowledge. Our knowledge is from Krsna. We accept that this body is dead because the soul has passed to another body. This is perfect knowledge
- We cannot become Krsna. We are eternally Krsna's servitors, part and parcel. This is real conclusion: qualitatively one
- We cannot become the Supreme. At least, we don't find in authorized Vedic literature that a living entity can become as powerful as God. No. It is not possible
- We cannot capture the greater than the greatest. That is not possible. Therefore it is His kindness that He has become just to be handled by you. This is called arca-murti, arca-vigraha. The Deity worship means arca-vigraha
- We cannot create religion, "This is my religion." Then everyone will escape in the name of religion. Because you have created so many rascaldom as religion, therefore Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya
- We cannot even estimate one universe what is the length and breadth, and how many planets are there, how they are working. We have no information. And we are very proud of advancement of knowledge
- We cannot get many followers. Because everyone is under this impression, "I am this body." And to get him released from this conception is not so easy job. So we cannot expect many thousands and millions
- We cannot have perfect knowledge by our mental speculation. That is not possible. We have to receive knowledge from authorities. That is the process
- We cannot judge how things are happening, but we have to believe. Therefore Vedic knowledge is so important. We cannot make research. We cannot judge. Simply if we take the Vedic truth
- We cannot see because our eyes are covered. But this cover, this covered eyes can be uncovered. There is process. What is that process? That process is to develop your love of God
- We cannot see Krsna with our present eyes, but we can see Him through the scripture. The "through the scripture" is that although we cannot see Him by our present imperfect senses - adhoksaja - still, we can see Him. How? Through the authorities
- We cannot simply give up. As it is said, that tyakta-karmanah, give up everyone, engagement, and tyakta-svajana-bandhavah . . . you'll become mad if you give up all these things, unless you have got staunch faith in Krsna
- We cannot understand God with these blunt senses. Atah sri-krsna-namadi na bhaved grahyam indriyaih (CC Madhya 17.136). The present senses, they are simply after material gratification. So how they can understand Krsna? That is not possible
- We cannot understand higher things unless we follow the footprints of great personalities. Just like you do not know anything about law of gravitation, but Sir Isaac Newton, he says that there is law of gravitation, you accept it. That's all
- We cannot understand what is Krsna, or God - His name, His form, His attributes, His pastimes . . . we cannot understand by these blunt material senses. Then how it is to be understood? After all, this human life is meant for understanding God
- We commit mistake, we are illusioned, our senses are imperfect and we have got a cheating propensity. We are possessing these four defects. However great a man may be, he makes mistake in calculation. To err is human
- We do not accept any principle of religion as genuine if we see that the followers have no love of God but they have got love of matter. We testify the, I mean to say, bona fides of a religious principle
- We do not accept this Sankara's philosophy, that the world is mithya. No. It is fact. It is fact. Because unless it . . . but the vision is different. Vision is different. That is called maya. What is the fact? The fact: this world is created by Krsna
- We do not know even what are there in the four corners of this universe - millions and millions of stars, millions of planets, millions and millions of oceans, mountains, and what to speak of living entities
- We do not know how great is God. We simply say that, "God is great" and speculate like the frog philosopher
- We do not know that the supreme leader is Krsna. So that is informed in the Vedic literature, and in the Bhagavad-gita also, the same thing is confirmed that, ye yatha mam prapadyante: Now, everyone is under My leadership. Everyone. There is no exception
- We do not know the universal history. We may know some history of our country or this planet. That's all. But there are millions and trillions of planets. So that history is recorded in the Vedic literature
- We do not know what is the aim of life. We are taking to so many unnecessary engagements. The human life is so valuable that not a single moment you cannot spare for any other business than Krsna consciousness
- We do not make any research, or we do not make any statement made by us. We simply accept the injunctions given by great acaryas. Acaryopasanam. That is the process of Vedic system
- We do not only study the laws and appreciate it, but we study the law-maker also. That is the difference between ourself and the so-called scientists
- We do not recommend that unnecessarily you should give trouble to the body. We do not recommend any man to go to the forest for spiritual realization. We simply recommend that you try to understand what is your constitutional position
- We don't ask you to press your nose, or put your head downwards, or make some gymnastic. No. In whatever condition you are, it doesn't matter; you simply chant these sixteen names. There is no secrecy
- We don't condemn electricity, but it does not mean because we have got electricity, we shall deny the authority of God. That is rascaldom
- We don't count for percentage. Let personally become ideal man. The same example: there is no percentage in comparison to the stars and one moon
- We don't find either in the Bhagavad-gita or Srimad-Bhagavatam or any authorized Vedic literature "Hindu dharma." Unfortunately, in India it has become very prominent, Hindu dharma, something hodgepodge
- We don't say no sex life. Yes, you have sex life. Get your bona fide wife, live peacefully
- We don't say that you go on with all nonsense, at the same time you become spiritually advanced. We don't talk all this nonsense. There must be practical exhibition that one is advanced in spiritual consciousness
- We don't say that, "Stop all these material activities." No. Just do it properly, so that you get real profit and real benefit. That is our program
- We don't say that, "This religion is better than this religion," or "My process is better." We want to see by the result. In the Sanskrit there is a word, phalena pariciyate. A thing is judged by the result
- We don't want millions of stars; we want one moon. That will save you. You always remember: try to become moon, not to become star. Useless
- We find it a vast ocean. But this vast ocean is nothing but a drop of water in the universe. There are so many, thousands or millions of vast oceans in the sky. So therefore the sky becomes the biggest
- We find so many learned scholars, they do not surrender to Krsna, then what is their position? Krsna says: "Yes, mayaya apahrta-jnana." They are learned, so-called learned, but their knowledge has been taken away by maya
- We get from sastras: the so-called enemies of God who is killed by God, he also attains perfection
- We get information from Bhagavad-gita and other sastras that spiritual world is still bigger. This material world is the one fourth of the God's creation, and the spiritual world is the three fourth
- We get information from Bhagavad-gita that the spiritual nature is beyond this manifested and nonmanifested cosmic situation. So Krsna says, mad-yajino 'pi yanti mam. If somebody cultivates Krsna consciousness, he can go there. It is not difficult
- We get this human form of life, especially civilized form of life. Then what is next? That question nobody inquires, neither there is answer by the so-called modern scientist, that what is next
- We got encouragement - other party, another party. Where those mimeograph machine gone
- We have become non-Aryan practically, because we do not give importance to the spiritual side of life. The Aryan means one who gives importance to the spiritual side of life
- We have come to this material world and suffering, but the living entity is part and parcel of Krsna, or God. How he has come to this material world? That is very intelligent question
- We have created a society for killing cows and eating the meat and maintaining slaughterhouse, in the name of religion. This is going on
- We have discussed the symptoms of Kali-yuga, this age called Kali-yuga. As there are seasonal changes, similarly, in the duration of this material existence, there are seasonal changes. That everyone has got experience
- We have discussed very elaborately. Anyone who has got intelligence, he can understand that, I am not this body. Within this body there is a living force, and without that living force the body is useless, lump of matter. That's all
- We have fallen down in this material condition. But Krsna never falls down in material condition
- We have got a conception of Golden Age. So take it for granted that krte, krte means in the age when everyone was pure. Cent percent people were pure. That is called Krta-yuga
- We have got about one hundred branches all over the world - Europe, America, Australia, and Far East, Middle East, India - everywhere we have got branches. And I am very much obliged to your country, USA. You are mostly cooperating with this movement
- We have got all information in the Vedic literature, beginning from Bhagavad-gita and then described further in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, four Vedas
- We have got all the information, that what is the spiritual world, what is the material world, why we are in the material world, why we are subjected under birth, death, old age and disease. So as we go on hearing, nityam bhagavata . . . in the Bhagavata
- We have got desires, different types of desires. The 8,400,000 bodies means at least we have got 8,400,000 different types of desires. That we have to learn from authorities like Krsna. Therefore He says: "You try to understand." You cannot speculate
- We have got different senses: our touch, our smell - so many things. All our senses are working under incompetence. Incompetence
- We have got five kinds of direct relationship, and there are seven kinds of indirect relationship. That is not on the platform of love. That is on the platform of enmity. Just like Kamsa
- We have got higher intelligence than the animals. The animals also live on this land, but they cannot utilize their intelligence for constructing a nice building, nice garden or industry or trade or car, because they have no brain
- We have got immense literature. If lifelong we try to understand, there is sufficient stock. It is not hackneyed. You'll get nava-navayaman. Newer and newer things
- We have got immense literature. We have already published more than twenty books. If you want to understand the Absolute Truth by philosophy, by science, there are books. Otherwise, the easy method is chant Hare Krsna
- We have got impure existence, this material body. When we get our spiritual body, that is called purified
- We have got information four millions of miles. And where is sun situated? We are not going by sputnik to measure it. We have got information from Vedic literature. And if you don’t agree, so how you can say it is not, because you have not measured it
- We have got information from Vedic scripture that formerly gun metal, gun metal mixed with mercury, could be transformed into gold. So these are some of the chemical process, physical process, which is being done by scientific advancement of knowledge
- We have got intelligence. And the statement and explanation is being given by the Supreme Personality of Godhead personally. Why we should not take advantage? This is suicidal policy
- We have got intimate relationship with Krsna as part and parcel. It cannot be separated. It cannot be separated. But any way, some way or other, we have lost or forgotten that intimate relationship with Krsna
- We have got intimate relationship with Krsna, eternally. It is not artificial. Therefore if you keep ourself always connected with Krsna, there will be no more disturbance. Peaceful
- We have got intimate relationship with Krsna. That is eternally fact. Simply we have to revive. Sravanadi-suddha-citte karaye udaya (CC Madhya 22.107). We have to create
- We have got many sastric evidences how one can become completely sinless simply by chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra and observing very strictly the four prohibitive rules and regulations
- We have got minute quantity of Krsna's qualities because we are minute particles of Krsna, but that is now covered by maya. This maya means . . . when we forget our actual relationship with Krsna, that is called maya, false egotism
- We have got natural affinity for God. Unfortunately, you have forgotten. This is our position. This is called maya. Therefore you are unhappy
- We have got one example to learn: the sun planet. Everything is fiery there. Don't think that there is no life. Just like they are concluding, "In this moon planet there is no life." No. Every planet is full of living entities
- We have got our senses, and by senses we acquire knowledge. But God, God is not to be understood by this direct perception of the senses. That is not possible, because we cannot see directly God. We cannot smell God. We cannot hear
- We have got practical experience that if somebody from very exalted post becomes a renouncer, he cannot tolerate that. We have seen it
- We have got sampradaya, Ramanuja-sampradaya, Madhva-sampradaya. So we have to accept the sampradaya, disciplic succession, to receive real knowledge
- We have got sampradaya: Brahma-sampradaya, Rudra-sampradaya, then Laksmi-sampradaya, Sri-sampradaya and Kumara-sampradaya. The present acaryas, they are Ramanuja-sampradaya, Sri-sampradaya, Madhva-sampradaya, Brahma-sampradaya. In this way
- We have got the medicine to awake the people from this ignorance. He doesn't know anything. He is busy only with his fifty years. Nowadays, less still we live, such rascaldom you are. "We have got the medicine. Now you take it." This is our canvassing
- We have got this gross body, and when the gross body is finished, then I keep myself in this mental body. That is called ghostly body
- We have got this human form of body, it is your duty to inquire about the spiritual subject matter. But if your guardians, if your parents, if your government does not teach you, then it is our misfortune
- We have got two business - socati, kanksati: desiring for things which we do not possess and lamenting for things which we have lost. But if you become self-realized, if you become aware actually what you are, then na socati na kanksati
- We have got Vaisnava-sampradaya, four sampradaya: Ramanuja-sampradaya, Madhva-sampradaya, Nimbarka-sampradaya. So intelligent persons should select guru from these sampradayas and follow his instruction
- We have got very nice example that in political field there are parties. Unless you belong to some party, you cannot stand for election. Similarly, if one person who desires to advance in spiritual life, he must take initiation from the sampradaya
- We have heard the names of so many yogis, but here Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, "He is actual yogi." Who? "Who has surrendered himself fully unto Me and he is engaged in My service as a matter of duty." That's all
- We have manufactured such a nice medicine that cancer or any other disease will not attack us. That is very nice. But find out some medicine that death will not attack you, "Oh, that is not possible." Then where is the meaning of your advancement
- We have neglected the real problems of life. And we are misusing our intelligence for constructing big buildings and constructing or increasing the so-called bodily necessities of life
- We have no business. But our real aim is how people will be happy. That is our real aim
- We have no difficulty. If you say, "How can I take instruction from Krsna? Krsna is not present." No, Krsna is present by His instruction. The Bhagavad-gita is there
- We have no education about that living force, and the original living force is Krsna, or God. So we have no information. So therefore this education is very, very essential, at least at the present moment
- We have no knowledge of Krsna, conditioned soul. Therefore for our understanding, He is so merciful, He descends as arca-murti. This Deity which we are worshiping, that is called arcavatara, incarnation of arca
- We have no knowledge of these planets, but each and every planet, millions and trillions, they are all congested, full with living entities. This is Vedic information. It is not imagination, imperfect imagination
- We have no quarrel with the nonvegetarian. Let them eat at their risk. But because we recommend, "You take Krsna's prasadam," therefore we must be satisfied with this patram puspam phalam toyam (BG 9.26), nothing more than that
- We have nothing to do with this material world. But we have been trained by the illusory energy in such a way that we are thinking, "I am Indian," "I am American," "I am this," "I am that," "I am brahmana," "I am sudra," - all these illusions
- We have passed only five thousand years of this age, Kali-yuga. Before that, there was Dvapara-yuga. Dvapara-yuga means 800,000's of years. And before that, there was Treta-yuga, which continued for twelve hundred thousands of years
- We have published Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Teachings of Lord Caitanya, Srimad-Bhagavatam, Krsna, Easy Journey to Other Planets, Nectar of Devotion. So we request everyone to understand this movement by reading authoritative literatures in this connection
- We have published our book, Isopanisad. Isavasyam idam sarvam: everything belongs to God, and every one of us, we are children of God
- We have seen many great sannyasis, they give up this world & take sannyasa for merging into Brahman, but later on they come back again to the material activities for opening hospital, schools, and philanthropic work. Why? Because they could not get there
- We have seen many sannyasi, they give up this world as brahma satyam jagan mithya, but they do not get any benefit out of it. Therefore they come down again to open hospitals and schools and philanthropic work. They fall down
- We have taken the perfect information from the perfect source. We say not one million; 900,000. This is called Vedic knowledge. This is perfect
- We have taken this business that preach that there is God. We have got an intimate relationship with God. So if you act, act accordingly, then you will be happy. This is our Krsna consciousness movement
- We have to accept Krsna as the guru, or Krsna's representative as guru. Tad viddhi pranipatena pariprasnena sevaya (BG 4.34). And we have to give service to such guru and we have to surrender ourself
- We have to accept the authority of sastra, guru and sadhu. So those who are sadhu, they accept Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- We have to accept the servitorship or underhand, to become underhand of some person. So the intelligence is that, "Whom we have to accept?" That, there lies intelligence: What kind of leader we shall accept
- We have to act to satisfy Krsna. That is bhakti. We cannot make our choice that, "This is good, this is bad." Whatever Krsna says is all right. Then it is bhakti
- We have to approach a niskincana, who has nothing to do with this material world. His only ambition is to serve more Krsna
- We have to become designationless. Not that, "Here are some foreigners. Pick up some quarrel with them and try to drive them away. Why they have come?" So many nonsense things are going on for want of actual spiritual education. This is not good
- We have to become dhira. We have been adhira in so many different forms of life, because I am coming to this human form of life after evolution of 8,000,000 forms of body. Jalaja nava-laksani sthavara laksa vimsati (Padma Purana). That is evolution
- We have to become sinless. That requires jnana-vairagya. Jnana-vairagya. So jnana-vairagya can be attained very easily if one becomes a devotee of Krsna. Vasudeve bhagavati bhakti-yoga-prayo
- We have to come to the platform where it is pure; there is no designation. Aham brahmasmi: "I am part and parcel of Krsna." This is real religion. Without this conception, any kind of designated religion, that is prakrta. That is not transcendental
- We have to continue this sankirtana. This is the psychology. But there is very great prospect to develop this place, and you have got experience. If you can develop, it will be very nice example. Once successful here, we can introduce this program
- We have to cure this disease, material disease, accepting this material body. Our real problem, which is described in the Bhagavad-gita
- We have to follow great superior personalities, just like sad-gosvami. Narottama dasa Thakura says, ei chay gosai jar tar mui dasa: I become servant, servant or disciple, of such a person who follows the footprints of the six Gosvamis
- We have to follow Krsna. When you are trained up to follow Krsna, then our life is successful. Then you can do something
- We have to follow the footprints of the Gosvamis, how to search out Krsna and Radharani, Vrndavana, or within your heart. That is the process of Caitanya Mahaprabhu's bhajana - feeling of separation, vipralambha, vipralambha-seva
- We have to follow the footprints of the great stalwart acaryas. Acaryopasanam
- We have to follow the principles laid down in the Bhagavad-gita. That will make our life successful. Practically we have to apply this, have to apply the principles. Otherwise the whole attempt will be failure
- We have to give the medicine just like horse is given medicine. Three men required to induce medicine to the mouth of the horse. So this is our duty, to inject Hare Krsna medicine
- We have to give up our this sense gratification process, and that is the teaching of Lord Caitanya. And Caitanya Mahaprabhu practically demonstrated how to adopt that life of pure sense gratification, or pure utilization of the senses
- We have to give up this body, any circumstances. That's a fact. Then such person who has become fully aware of Krsna, tyaktva deham, giving up this body, tyaktva deham punar janma naiti (BG 4.9), he does not take any more birth with another material body
- We have to go to the platform of soul. That is spiritual education. But there are so many other stages. Somebody's stopping in the mind. He's thinking that this is the final
- We have to know actually from authentic sastra what is the actual thing. Sastra-caksusa. You don't see with your these blunt eyes, rascal eyes. We see through the sastra. That should be. That is real knowledge
- We have to learn everything, especially spiritual subject matter, from guru. Tad-vijnanartham sa gurum eva abhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). This is the injunction of the Vedas
- We have to learn from authorized sources, and we can be informed perfectly about paravara: para and avara. Avara means this inferior nature, and para means superior nature
- We have to learn the lessons of Gita from the authorized disciplic succession as it is advised there in the book. Unfortunately every one not in that line tries to explain Gita in his own way and this process is misguided the people
- We have to make our brain very clean. And for that purpose you require to drink not very much - at least one pound or half-pound milk daily. That is essential. But no meat-eating. This is intelligence
- We have to practice this, that Hare Krsna maha-mantra. If we practice, there is chance at the time of death repeating the same thing, Hare Krsna maha-mantra. So immediately you are saved, not to go to the yama-mandira
- We have to practice. This arcana-marga means practice. Immediately you cannot expect that your mind is completely fixed up with Krsna. But if we follow the regulative principles, then it will mature
- We have to preach all over the world. We require so many men, so many boys, girls, men we want
- We have to prepare ourself for the next moment of our death. People forget it. Janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi
- We have to prove to the world that it is not brainwashing; it is real knowledge. Why you should keep it suppressed and leave the people in ignorance? It is not your duty to bluff and cheat. That is not science
- We have to receive knowledge from authorities. We cannot speculate. Speculation will not help us in approaching the real destination
- We have to rectify this mistake, that, We are not this body. This is our external covering. We are spirit soul, part and parcel of Krsna
- We have to see through the authorized books the description which is beyond our perception. Acintyah khalu ye bhava na tams tarkena yojayet (Mahabharata, Bhisma-parva 5.22). Tarkena, by argument, which is beyond your sense perception. So many things
- We have to see. Instead of criticizing in that adverse way, we have to follow the acarya. Acaryopasanam. So you'll find Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Visnu Svami, Nimbarka, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, they have accepted in that way
- We have to study authorized books and Vedas, and we have to follow their example, then Krsna consciousness or God realization is not difficult. It is very easy. There is no, I mean to say, any stumbling block on the path of your understanding what is God
- We have to study from the sastric vision. Sastra-caksusat. How you'll see? You'll see through the authority, scriptures. So these are the statements of authoritative scriptures
- We have to surrender. That is our constitutional position. If I don't surrender to some particular person or particular government or particular community or society or something, but ultimately I am surrendered, I am surrendered to the laws of nature
- We have to take care of ourself. Daily, we are thinking, "My country, my community" - they're all busy in this way - "they'll save me." No. When death will come, nobody will save you. You remember that
- We have to take information from the authoritative literature what is the position of this material world, the spiritual world, God and His relationship with us, our position. This is real knowledge
- We have to take information of Krsna from the sastra. Sastram eva caksusa. Vedanta-sutra. Your eyes should be sastra, not your so-called imagination. Sastra-caksus
- We have to take it from authoritative scriptures like Bhagavad-gita, the Vedic literature, that soul is different from this body, and . . . of course, according to the mentality of the soul, we develop different kinds of body
- We have to take little patience. That is preaching work. Don't be impatient. Let us do our duty on behalf of Krsna. Even the result is not very appreciable, still we have to do it
- We have to take this knowledge from authority. Here is Krsna speaking. He's authority. We accept Krsna: the Supreme Personality of Godhead. His knowledge is perfect
- We have to tolerate. Just like Prahlada Maharaja. So much tribulation, even his father became enemy. So Krsna consciousness is like that - even one's father becomes enemy, what to speak of others
- We have to transcend all these three qualities, sattva-guna, rajo-guna, tamo-guna, especially rajo-guna, tamo-guna. If we do not try to do that, then there is no hope of spiritual salvation or liberation from the material entanglement
- We have to try, we have to learn how to love Krsna. And love begins with this give and take. You give something to your lover; he gives you something to you. In this way love develops. Dadati pratigrhnati
- We have to understand from authoritative literature. The subtle body is working, just like when you sleep your gross body is not working, but the subtle body, the mind, intelligence and ego, is working; therefore you dream
- We have to understand that what is the aim of life. Aim of life is go back to home, back to Godhead. Unless we understand this, our life is in darkness
- We have to understand the soul and its constitution from authoritative scriptures like Bhagavad-gita
- We have to understand through sastra. We cannot see our past, present and future, but if we see through the sastras . . . Sastra-caksusa: "You should try to see from the sastra." Actually, we understand everything through sastra, not directly
- We have to utilize our intelligence. Then . . . this life is meant for that. But if we waste our life, misuse this opportunity of human life just to live like the cats and dogs, ahara-nidra, eating, sleeping, mating and defending, then we are spoiling
- We have to work very sincerely, keeping our faith in Krsna
- We hear from the superior and reproduce it. That is sravanam-kirtanam. Then perfect. If I add something my own imagination, then it will spoil. No addition, alteration; as it is
- We hear, of course - that is most important thing. Just like every one of us heard that, "God is great." So analyzing all this sensual knowledge, this particular knowledge, by hearing, is the only way for understanding God
- We invite all learned scholars, priests, philosophers to combine together and save the world from this falldown, without God consciousness. That is our request. So I think you all respectable priests and Fathers will kindly help me in this mission
- We living entities, we are affected by the material modes of nature, sattva-guna, rajo-guna, tamo-guna. But Krsna is not affected. That is Krsna
- We may be imperfect, but Krsna is perfect. Therefore, whatever Krsna says, if we accept it and if we . . . Not accept blindly, but you can employ your logic and argument and try to understand, then your knowledge is perfect
- We may not be amazed when there is a big thunderbolt falling on the mountain and breaking into pieces. This wonderful act is being done by nature, but behind the nature the order is of Krsna
- We may not believe in the existence of soul, but that is a fact. But if we want to study the subject matter very seriously and scientifically, then it will be possible to understand
- We may try to understand the concept of religion from the Sanskrit root meaning of the word dharma. It means that which is constantly with the particular object
- We must consider that whatever we are doing, that is our defeat, because we are doing everything in false consciousness
- We must have a guru where exact knowledge is coming, without any mistake. Because we cannot argue. So we must find out such guru, where perfect knowledge is coming
- We must keep ourself spiritually strong. Just like Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He was behaving in His life, and that He was teaching. . . . behave like spiritual man
- We must know that nobody can favor us unless it is sanctioned by the Supreme Person. We must always know. Not that because one is very, in a very superior position, he can favor me. No, he cannot favor you unless it is sanctioned by the Supreme
- We must know what is God, whether actually we can put our faith and trust in Him, whether He is trustworthy, what is that God. This science should be introduced
- We must know what is our constitutional position. That we do not know. We are sat, eternal; therefore we shall act in such a way that will benefit my eternal life
- We must know, we must find out guru who knows sastra, the essence of sastra, Vedic, Vedas. What is the essence of Vedas? Vedanta. Vedanta means to know Krsna
- We must render service to the holy, saintly person. And if you want to go deeper and deeper in the darkest region of existence, then we should turn our face for sense gratification
- We must utilize this human form of body properly to understand that, I am not this body; I am pure consciousness. And this pure consciousness I have to practice in such a way that in next life I get my pure conscious or into pure spiritual body
- We observe the system followed in Jagannath Puri. First the foodstuff is offered to Lord Jagannath and then His Prasad is offered to the different demigods; then we may take such remainders as prasadam
- We pray in that kesava dhrta-buddha-sarira. The meaning is that He appeared as Lord Buddha, being compassionate on the animals, who were being tortured by the human being
- We prescribe certain rules and restrictions for our disciples so that they can make real advancement in spiritual life. This Yogananda gives no restrictions or regulative principles to his disciples, and thereby collects all nonsense class of men
- We present Bhagavad-gita as it is, as Krsna says. We don't allow any rascal to comment upon Bhagavad-gita in a different way. That is our Krsna consciousness movement. This is very natural
- We prosecute these Krsna consciousness activities through singing, dancing, eating and talking philosophy received through authorized disciplic succession, and therefore it gives us everything we want, without any artificial change
- We receive knowledge from the authorities, and out of such many acaryas, or authorities, who have appeared and disappeared . . . we don't say born and die. No
- We recommend not exactly nonvegetarian diet. We are vegetarian diet, we restrict from nonvegetarian diet, but we recommend krsna-prasadam
- We recommend that in whatever position you feel comfortable, you can accept that, but, I mean to say, spread Krsna consciousness movement. Parama ananda-khanda. People will be happy. Our mission is to see sarve sukhino bhavantu: everyone become happy
- We recommend the students to chant Hare Krsna. Atah sri-krsna-namadi. Nama means after you understand or realize nama, then you'll understand His qualities, transcendental qualities
- We recommend you all to read Bhagavad-gita as it is. Do not distort the meaning. Try to understand as it is
- We recommend, who is joining Krsna consciousness movement that, "You should give up this habit: illicit sex, intoxication, gambling and meat-eating." These four things will keep me in the lower status of life
- We request and recommend that so long we live, we may chant the holy name of God: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. We don't charge anything for giving you this name. It is open to everyone
- We request simply people that you accept this authoritative knowledge and try to assimilate it by your intelligence
- We require men first. Money will come. Money is coming
- We require protection. The mahatma, they are also given protection by daivi-prakrti, Krsna's maya. Therefore we chant "Hare Krsna," not alone "Krsna." Hara is Krsna's energy, so we first of all take the shelter of Krsna's energy, daivi-maya, Radharani
- We require the association of wife or girl because we feel the need, if God is in need, then He is not God. He must be full
- We require to open hospital. To cure this material disease, not this temporary disease. Again we may be attacked. The complete cure of material disease that sort of hospital will be required. That hospital is this Krsna consciousness Society
- We require vigorous propaganda to make these fools to understand what is the real aim of life. That should be our propaganda
- We saw in our childhood, Europeans were very tall, and now they are not coming typical so. Naturally when they'll not get sufficient nourishment, they'll be stunted
- We say tatha dehantara-praptih (BG 2.13). Other religious sect, they say: "This is Hindu belief." It is not question of Hindu belief. It is the fact
- We say that "God is dead." God is not dead. God is coming very soon. Wait a few years, you'll be dead. This is the position. You rascal, God is not dead. God is coming to kick you, to kill you
- We say that on the ekadasi day you should fast. So fasting is not very, I mean to say, pleasant, but one has to do. This is called tapasya
- We say we have no secret mantra. Our mantra, Hare Krsna, is open to everyone. Why it should be secret
- We say: You rascal, you don't be overintelligent. You submit to God, you'll be happy. Because you cannot become intelligent, you are rascal. So give up this rascaldom, sarva-dharman parityajya (BG 18.66). Simply surrender to Krsna. Then you'll be happy
- We see so many varieties of people, men, in the society, and what is the difference of variety? One has got good brain, another has got dull brain. That is dis . . . that is the variety
- We see varieties of living entities, varieties of trees, varieties of everything. Anywhere you go, you simply find varieties. Some of them you like, some of them you do not like. these varieties are due to 3 material modes of nature, sattva, raja, tama
- We shall always try to remain servant of the servant of the servant of the servant of the . . . hundred times servant. Then it will be all right. The more you become humble, meek, the more you advance. That is real advancement
- We shall avoid these two things - laziness and sleeping. Of course, as much you require, sleeping allowed, not more than. And keep everyone active, man or woman - all. Then it will be ideal society
- We shall stick to Krsna consciousness. We shall accept what Krsna says and reject everything. Then we'll be saved
- We should accept the statement of authorities, and make our life following. Evam parampara-praptam (BG 4.2). That is actually parampara system, as Krsna says, as Krsna's devotee says, His authorized agent says. Then our life will be successful
- We should also forget that, "I am hindu," "I am muslim," or "I am brahmin," "I am sudra," "I am ksatriya." No. This is the only platform, Krsna consciousness, where we can unite on spiritual platform
- We should always pray, "Krsna, kindly save me from the pitfalls of maya." He'll do it. But if we want to cheat Krsna and cheat guru, then you'll be cheated. That's all. The guru will not be cheated, neither Krsna will be cheated. You'll be cheated
- We should always remember that "Let there be enemies. Let there be envious persons. I will be protected by Krsna and His associates." And even I am not so accustomed, so I should learn to tolerate
- We should always remember this song of Narottama dasa Thakura. He is acarya. He's guru. Acaryopasanam. Acarya upasana is one of the process of making progress
- We should be very much firmly fixed up, following the rules and regulation
- We should be very serious. We should not fall down from the standard of Vedic culture
- We should be very, very careful. This Krsna consciousness movement is simply a very scientific movement that will help the human society not to be degraded again; to be elevated
- We should behave ourselves nicely, then teach others. Then it will be effective
- We should fully utilize this human form of life in Krsna consciousness, and the process is always thinking of Krsna. Instead of thinking women and money
- We should know that the trees, they are also living entities, but they have been put in such awkward position that they are standing up in a position for thousands of years. They cannot move even. If somebody is cutting, it cannot protest
- We should not be lazy and sleepy, at the same time not foolishly active. We must come to the real standard of life, goodness
- We should not bother about this material happiness and distress. That is perfect civilization. We shall depend on the arrangement of God
- We should not desire anything except serving Krsna. That is our fulfillment of life
- We should not desire anything except we simply desire how to serve Krsna, how to remain a pure devotee of Krsna. Then our life is successful
- We should not desire separately for material comfort. We should simply depend on Krsna and be satisfied. In whatever condition He keeps, be satisfied. Then He will look after whether you are comfortable or uncomfortable
- We should not execute dharma for some material gain, arthaya. Just like people are very busy to give in charity, because he'll get some exalted post. Yajna dana tapa kriya. These are karma-kandiyas
- We should not fall down and deviate from our path of devotional service intentionally. That will not . . . that is very great criminality. We must try our best, kevalaya bhaktya
- We should not give up our duty because mosquito is biting or some bed bug is biting. So, so many dualities that we have to tolerate
- We should not misunderstand that Krsna is ordinary human being and He is enjoying like us. Completely different. Radharani is the manifestation of Krsna's pleasure potency. Parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate
- We should not misuse it. Very responsible life. If you are misled, that is a dangerous civilization
- We should not remain mudha; we should become intelligent and see to our self-interest, and that is the success of life
- We should not take any stock of rumors which may come, that is not our process to act upon rumors. We hear from the authorized sources, and then our hearing is perfect
- We should not take the risk of next birth. In this life, in this birth, we should make a permanent solution of all miseries. That is Krsna consciousness
- We should not think independent. We must become bhadra. Then all auspicity will come
- We should not waste our this valuable life whimsically. Even an ordinary moral instruction by Canakya Pandita, he says, your one moment of your life cannot be returned back even if you are prepared to pay millions of dollars
- We should ourself also continuously hear from authoritative literature, person, and continuously go on chanting the same thing, repetition. That's all. Then everything will be happy atmosphere
- We should relish this instruction of Narottama dasa Thakura that in order to get relief from the pangs of blazing fire of this material existence, one should take shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, because it is as cooling as the moon rays
- We should study philosophically and scientifically, analyze what is this body and what is beyond the body - soul - and what is the soul's function, where is the soul's place; ultimately what is the end goal of the activities of the soul
- We should take guidance from a perfect source of knowledge, and utilize it for making our life perfect. That is wanted
- We should take standard sastra and follow and establish educational institution to train them. Otherwise, simply by crying in the wilderness, what will be the result
- We should try to purify ourselves from sinful activity so that Nrsimha-deva may keep His hand on our, blessing. That is wanted. Then our life is successful. Otherwise nature will not excuse
- We should understand fully that we are simply qualitatively one with God, but quantitatively, God is great and we are very minute particle. This is self-realization. Therefore part and parcel. Mamaivamso jiva-bhutah
- We should understand that we are very insignificant in comparison to the creation of the whole cosmic situation and God. So we should be very submissive. We should understand our position. Artificially, we should not be puffed up, the frog philosophy
- We simply say "God is great," but we do not know how much great He is
- We sometimes love the body or sometimes love the mind or sometimes love the soul, or in this way, but the ultimate aim is to love Krsna. That is our natural instinct
- We spirit soul, we are as pure as God. God is pure. In the Bhagavad-gita Krsna is addressed as param dhama pavitram paramam bhavan (BG 10.12). Pavitram means the purest. So we are part and parcel of God; we are also purest
- We spiritual sparks, when we simply congregate one place, that is called brahmajyoti. In that portion, because they have no information of the personality of Godhead, they are envious. They fall down
- We stick to Krsna consciousness, then everything will be all right in due course of time
- We take advantage of these days when the incarnation of God appears or disappears, and we try to associate with Him. By His association we become purified
- We take bitter medicine just to cure our existence. Similarly, at the present moment, our existence is impure. Therefore we have to accept birth, death, old age and disease on account of impure existence. Otherwise, we are spirit soul, we are eternal
- We think that we can have a direct relationship with God, that God will speak to us. So we are accused of being very puffed up for thinking that we can have a direct relationship with God
- We understand from Bhagavad-gita that living entities, all of us, we are part and parcel, minute particle, of the Supreme Spirit. The Supreme Spirit is called param brahma
- We understand from the Bhagavad-gita, that it was first instructed to Surya. Imam vivasvate proktam (BG 4.1): "I first of all spoke this science to Vivasvan, Surya." Surya means sun-god. So nobody can trace out history when sun-god took the lessons

- You have already problems, but people are so rascal, so blind, they do not see to the real problem. They artificially create problem and try to solve it. Instead of touching the real problem, that is set aside
- You have another group of Protestants, the gospel of wealth Protestants, who say that if you are truly holy, then it is better that the money be entrusted to your hands than to a man who is unholy
- You have done right by removing the pictures which deal in Gopis and Krishna. They are never for public show. They are very confidential & meant for advanced devotees. The neophytes will be misguided by such pictures. I hope you will understand me right
- You have enjoyed your material life as luxuriantly as possible, but you are confused. You are not happy. You have produced hippies, frustration
- You have got 4 defects. One defect is that you commit mistakes. One defect is that we accept something for something else, illusion. Just like everybody, practically 99.9% all over the world, they are accepting this body as the self. It is also imperfect
- You have got body, shape, very minute shape. That we cannot see, we cannot measure. But the spirit soul has a form. How, what is the length and breadth of that form, that is not in your power. In your power, but not materially
- You have got discrimination, you have got conscience, you are claiming civilized, human being. So you should utilize these things. That is Krsna consciousness, perfect consciousness
- You have got now this human form of life, a great boon, not like animals. Please do not therefore waste your time sleeping like animals simply in the matters of eating, sleeping, mating and defending. That is the verdict of Vedas
- You have got opulence. You have got money. You have got intelligence. Utilize it for Krsna. Then it is successful
- You have got so much potency. But we are not training people in that way. They are learning dog dancing. That's all
- You have got some false thing, you have to make propaganda to prove it that it is real
- You have got your body, I have got my body, another has got his body. In this way we have got different bodies. So we must understand this is the platform of cultural unity
- You have many times said that the Back to Godhead magazine is the backbone of Hare Krsna movement. So it is my ardent desire that the Hindi Back to Godhead should be made a regular monthly
- You have never gone to the moon planet, but you learn it from the books, authorized books. Simply you have to consult authorized books, you get learned yourself
- You have no duty. Your only duty is to surrender to Krsna
- You have no sense. Without pure devotee, how they became authority? You are ask the question
- You have seen salagrama. So if somebody takes that and breaks peanuts, so there is no devotion. It is a show
- You have such a poor brain that you could not follow even ordinary moral instruction of Jesus Christ
- You have taken Krsna consciousness movement. Take it seriously. Follow the rules and regulations. Then Krsna will give you all protection
- You have to accept Krsna as the proprietor. And it is accepted by all great personalities: Vyasadeva, Narada, Asita, Devala, all the acaryas. So unless we are grand fool, we can't deny this. We have to take knowledge by the disciplic succession
- You have to accept one chief. But intelligent is that which . . . what kind of leadership we shall accept. That is knowledge
- You have to accept some tapasya if you want to make solution of the problems of life. Sukadeva Gosvami first recommends tapasya
- You have to act nicely. Then it is perfection
- You have to approach such guru. And who is that guru? Vaisnava. Not any ordinary person. Therefore anyone who is not Vaisnava, you should not approach
- You have to become an ideal society. You live locally and be self-sufficient. They will see that it is possible to live locally without movement, and still highly cultured men, self-sufficient. That is required
- You have to cleanse the mirror of your consciousness, then the reflection will be properly viewed. If you keep it dirty, then it is not possible. Therefore we require first-class men to understand this philosophy, not the fourth-class man
- You have to consult sastra. There is direction. It is . . . practically it is the same. Just like Manu-samhita, it says that if one is a murderer then he should be killed. Life for life. He should be hanged. That is the old system
- You have to deal with cats and dogs. But still there is hope, because they have got this human form of life. There is hope. It is not hopeless. Don't be disappointed, but this is the job. You have to meet with cats and dogs
- You have to develop love for Krsna and you'll see Him. He can be seen by love, not by your method. He is not under any method, but He is under love
- You have to find out a bona fide school, you have to find out a bona fide teacher, and then you learn. That's all
- You have to give up these things: no illicit sex, no intoxication." He said: "Oh, it is impossible. For us, it is impossible." So actually, these four prohibitory rules is impossible for the rascals
- You have to go to guru. Guru means who knows more than you. That is guru. So who can know more than Krsna? Therefore we have to accept Krsna as guru and learn from Him. Then you'll get perfect knowledge
- You have to learn from the authority, "It is like this," that much. It is not under your experimental knowledge. That is not possible. Because your knowledge is so imperfect, you cannot deal with these things
- You have to learn from the authorized Vedic literature. You cannot imagine. You cannot speculate. You have to learn from authority
- You have to live within this body certain age. So if you change the body, new, that doesn't mean you prolong your life. That is not possible. It is the duration of life, that is considered
- You have to receive the knowledge from authority. Just like you cannot understand who is your father by experiment, laboratory. That is not possible. But if you approach to the authority, the mother, immediately you get the knowledge
- You have to remain where you are placed by your karma. You cannot move. I cannot move beyond this body. Therefore our senses are all imperfect. We think that, "I have got my legs; I can walk very fast." No. You cannot go fast as it is destined by you
- You have to see through the sastra, sastra-caksusa. Just like you see the sun just like a disc, but when you go through the sastra, authorized books, you understand that it is fourteen hundred thousand times bigger than this earth
- You have to seek the mercy both of Krsna and guru, not that you have become so advanced that you are directly in connection with Krsna, and whatever you are doing, it is mercy. No. Don't think like that. It must be guided, it must be confirmed by guru
- You have to serve two bhagavata, nityam bhagavata, not the bhagavata-saptaha. This is another cheating. There is no such thing as bhagavata-saptaha in authoritative literature. They have manufactured as a business. But Bhagavata should be served nityam
- You have to take experience from the perfect person, Krsna. Then your knowledge is perfect. That I have already said. Don't try to understand with your teeny experience everything. Then you will be failure
- You have to take knowledge from the perfect source. Then you can understand. This is Vedic injunction. If you want to know perfectly everything, then you must go to the proper teacher. Then you will learn
- You have to take mercy from Krsna. Then it is possible to extinguish. We have to seek mercy
- You have to take shelter of guru. Adau gurv-asrayam sad-dharma-prccha: "Then you inquire from him about Krsna." Sad-dharma-prccha, sadhu-marganugamanam: "Then follow the footstep of big, big devotees." Just like Prahlada Maharaja
- You have to understand the position of God. In every literature, in every scripture: "God said: 'Let there be creation.' So there was creation." So creation is the universe. So God created this universe. So if you love God, then you love the universe
- You have to wait for relishing that Krsna's rasa-lila, to become more perfect in Krsna consciousness
- You have written your Bhagavad-gita, and you don't believe Krsna as Supreme Lord, God. Therefore by reading your Bhagavad-gita people have become godless. So you better rectify your mistake
- You have your right to act according to your position." But, karmany evadhikaras te ma phalesu kadacana: "But you should not desire to enjoy the fruit of your activity." That is the technique. You should not desire to enjoy the fruit of activity
- You haven't got to spend any money for this chanting, neither we are charging. We are simply distributing this knowledge that, Chant Hare Krsna mantra, all problems will be solved
- You just become devotee of Lord Caitanya. I am flattering you, I am falling down on your feet - this is preaching. If one is doing like that, Krsna immediately recognizes. So if you are recognized by Krsna, then what you want more
- You keep your intimate relationship with Krsna, it doesn't matter whether you are in family or without family. Just like I have given already example. Arjuna, he is a family man, he is not a sannyasi. But he was prepared to sacrifice everything for Krsna
- You keep yourself always in goodness. Then your position is all right. Otherwise, it is very risky. But these people, the Western people, they do not do that. They keep themselves in the modes of ignorance. That is very risky civilization
- You know that frog philosophy? He's calculating the length and breadth of Atlantic Ocean from the small well. Somebody's saying there is Atlantic Ocean, very great, and the frog has never seen the Atlantic Ocean. He is always in the well
- You know: due to the heat in the sunshine the planets are rotating, resting on the sunshine. Similarly, there is a shining effulgence from the body of God, Krsna. That is called brahmajyoti, impersonal Brahman
- You learn from the authorities. So the Gosvamis' business is to do . . . how to save these people, these rascals, from this repetition of birth and death
- You make friendship with Krsna. And because He's the proprietor, He'll protect you. These are the three points. Is that clear? Or you have got any question, you can question. Let it be clear. This is very intelligent question
- You make your society so strong that you be not cheated and others may not cheat you. Then it will be first class. And if you make another society of cheaters and cheated, there is no profit
- You may be a businessman, you may be engineer, you may be whatever you may be; it doesn't matter. But bhakti must be added there. Then you are successful. If you are devoid of bhakti, then it is useless, waste of time. That is the verdict of the sastra
- You may be a first-class prisoner or second-class prisoner, third-class prisoner, but you will remain a prisoner. But if you want freedom, then you must go out of the prison walls
- You may be a very religious person - according to your religious principles, ritualistic ceremonies, you execute very nicely. But after doing all these things, if you do not become God consciousness, then it is simply waste of time
- You may be god, but you are controlled god. But the God who is not controlled, He is Godhead. That is Krsna. That's all right
- You may be in need of food, I may be in need of some woman, he may be in need of some money . . . in this way everyone is needy. Therefore, ultimately one should search after God, when every need will be fulfilled
- You may be very expert swimmer, but simply swimming will not save you. You must know how to save
- You may be very rich man, you may take many pills, many injection to prolong your life, but that is not possible. That is not possible. But as soon as you see Krsna, then you get your eternal life. Eternal life we have got. We are eternal
- You may challenge, "Where is the unhappiness? We are very happy." Madmen. Krsna points out, "No, it is not place of happiness." Why it is not place of happiness? Now, janma-mrtyu-jara vyadhi
- You may not be suffering from any bodily disease, but you may be suffering from mental agony. You may not be suffering from mental agony, but you may suffer suffering imposed by others, what . . . there are so many sufferings. This place is suffering
- You may not desire, but if you are not strong, you'll be misled by these rascals. But if we follow this instruction, Narottama dasa Thakura, ara na koriho mane asa, oh, then you become strong. Then you will remain strong
- You might have discovered - you are great scientist - that under this law, the law of gravitation or this law, that law, so many laws there are. But the background you have to inquire, Who is the law maker? Unless there is law maker, how there can be law
- You might have invented very nice medicine by your scientific method, up-to-date medicines, but you cannot stop the disease. Just discover a tablet that you take this tablet there will be no more any disease. That is not possible. Disease will be there
- You might open many hospitals, but where is the solution of the disease, that there should be no more disease? That you cannot do. Therefore your so-called scientific research, working hard day and night, is all monkeys' business. Useless
- You must be convinced that "Here is a guru where I can surrender." So then you can make prasna, or question. Then the question will be answered. Otherwise it is waste of time. That is not the Vedic system, simply waste of time
- You must be trustworthy. Otherwise why shall I trust you
- You must be worried. That is material world. So, so long you are in the material platform, you must be worried. There is no exception
- You must behave yourself nicely. Then people will come. If you become purified, then naturally they will come
- You must execute your business as it is advised by the sastra and guru. So utsahad dhairyad niscayat tat-tat-karma-pravartanat, sato vrtteh. Your dealings must be very honest, not duplicity
- You must follow the regulative principles. Sato vrtteh. This is your honesty. And sadhu-sanga (CC Madhya 22.83), this can be done, association with devotees. Sadbhir bhaktih prasidhyati (Upadesamrta 3): This is the way of increasing devotional service
- You must give him some engagement, better engagement, so that he will not commit any more mischief. So bhakti is a service, activity. If he is not engaged in activity, then he will become again a rascal
- You pick up the quality of men and put them in the brahminical class, and then next, ksatriya class, then vaisya class, then sudra class. But you cannot abolish that system. That is a false attempt
- You pinch your body, you feel pain. Why? Because there is consciousness. Therefore consciousness is permanent. And as soon as the consciousness is gone, you chopped up your hand, no response
- You possess or not possess, the real disease is anxiety. So when one becomes brahma-bhuta, self-realized, identified with the Absolute Truth, then he has no more anxiety
- You practice yoga just to become master of your senses. Not that officially I sit down, fifteen minutes' meditation, and next moment I am master of my senses. This is not yoga
- You prepare yourself for higher standard of life or to make a permanent solution of your miserable condition of life, namely birth, death, old age and disease. This is required. This is human business, or dharma
- You present Srimad-Bhagavatam in true perspective. Then it will be perfection of your education
- You produce your food grains. You eat sumptuously food grain, milk, and that will be available without any factory. The factory cannot produce milk or food grain. The present scarcity of foodstuff means everybody is engaged in the city
- You read one line, you can speak half an hour. They are so full of meaning
- You require food grain, I require food grain, the animals require food grain, and everyone requires food grain. So if there is sufficient food grain, then everyone will be happy
- You say the man is dead because there is no breathing. So what is this breathing? This breathing is air. So if there is a scarcity of air, why don’t you take a little air and inject, or make some machine?
- You say: "O my Lord, You have no leg, You have no hand, You have no eyes," that means "You are blind, You are lame, You are headless," "You have no sense" - "You are nonsense." So this is prayer. We have to fight these rascal impersonalists and voidists
- You see the picture of Caitanya, we are following the same principles. This was being enacted five hundred years ago. The same principle we are following. We are not introducing anything new. We are simply following the footprints of our predecessors
- You see the sky is just like egglike, within that. They are called baddha-jiva. Baddha-jiva means entrapped
- You shall try to become devotee, not to think like demons. That will not help us. Then asa-pasa-satair baddhah: we'll remain bound up in material bondage
- You should be ideal. If you are not ideal, then it will be useless to open center. You behave nicely, they will come, they will see, and they will learn
- You should be very much respectful. Even a respectable person, ordinary person, a big man or a rich man or a king comes, we become so much respectful. And what about Krsna when He's present as arca-murti or as the holy name
- You should become a perfect human being. Purify your existence. Why you are subjected to birth, death, old age and disease? Because we are impure. Now, if we purify our existence, then there will be no such thing as birth, death, old age and disease
- You should engage yourself to receive spiritual knowledge from the authority, reliable source
- You should give up this dark well and go to the forest, vanam. Come to Vrndavana. Vanam means forest. We have constructed very nice temple. Come there
- You should judge by the result, not by sophisticated ideas. There is no necessity
- You should not be hankering after these temporary honours of this material world. Honour or dishonour, the same thing, because we do not belong to that honour, that kind of honour or dishonour
- You should not imitate, because you are not as big as Krsna. Tejiyasam na dosaya (SB 10.33.29). He is very powerful. Before His power, everything becomes vanished. He remains powerful. But you cannot do that
- You should take up the process how to increase your attachment for Krsna, and then automatically detachment will be there. Rupa Gosvami gives example, that you are hungry. When you take food, gradually you become satisfied & your hunger is also satisfied
- You study any part of your body, you will find that the part of body belongs to you. You'll say: "It is my leg, my hand, my hair, my nose." So many things "my." Then where is the "I"? That is called jnana, knowledge. Everything is "my," but where I am?
- You study, and chant this Hare Krsna mantra like this, and that is the following the footsteps of Gosvamis. Acaryopasana. We have to worship the acaryas. That is recommended in the Bhagavad-gita for making progress in spiritual life
- You take advantage of our humble service, and then you'll understand and you'll know. There will be no difficulty
- You take advantage of this, and also produce sufficient food grains so that people may not starve. Parjanyad anna-sambhavah. Annad bhavanti bhutani
- You take instruction from Krsna, the perfect. Don't be proud of your paltry knowledge. That is our Krsna consciousness movement, that Krsna is perfect, and take knowledge from Him, you'll be perfect
- You take to this movement very seriously, and all of you will be very happy. That is our request. We are presenting this movement all over the world, and anyone who has taken, he is happy. But one must be sincere and serious. Then it will act
- You think or I think I am in very sorry plight, or I am in distress. That will also not exist for some time, just like seasonal changes. So this, this is called duality. You are feeling happy or miserable, we are feeling cold and heat, everything duality
- You third-class, fourth-class men, you have created problem, and now you are trying to make solution - another problem. Because you are the same fourth-class men, how you can make a solution? The man who creates problem, can he make solution?
- You took so much allopathic medicine, and you took that even more than you're willing to take this Ayurvedic medicine
- You trace out the history of the human society . . . of course, in the modern world they cannot trace out chronological history more than three thousand years. That's all. But we can give account for many millions and millions of years
- You try to trace out the history of the world, you'll find always persons who are for Krsna or God, they have been persecuted. Jesus Christ was crucified; Haridasa Thakura was caned in twenty-two marketplaces; Prahlada Maharaja was tortured by his father
- You understand simply these two things: that you are eternal servant of God and you have to carry out the orders of God . . . He is the supreme proprietor. He is the supreme friend
- You understand this philosophy and add water to the suffering humanity. They are suffering in the burning, blazing fire of material existence. So blazing fire can be extinguished when the water falls from the sky, not by your fire brigade
- You understand what is God and have your faith at full that, "God is, yes, trustworthy," so that others may also know that God is trustworthy
- You wanted a body like this - nature has supplied it under the direction of prakrti. Krsna is sitting within you; He knows what you want and He gives you the facility, "Take it." And He orders nature, or His energy. That's all
- You will feel sure as you make progress. Just like when you are eating, hungry, as you feel satisfaction and hunger satisfied, you can know yourself
- You will find today's text. It has given very nice example, that the prostitute changes her dress to attract people. Similarly, we are changing our dress for sense gratification. Yes
- You won't find any difference between Bhagavad-gita or Srimad-Bhagavatam or any Vedic literature. It is to be understood through proper channels
- You write and I shall make some addition or alteration when you write. This is the synopsis and framework. Now you can proceed
- You'll find big, big businessmen, they have got very, very long project, "How to do this? How to do this? How to increase this factory? How to make it world-renowned?" and so on, so on, so on. There is no limit of anxiety
- You'll find Krsna always with cows. Here is Krsna's picture, you see how He's loving the cow and the calf. He's personally teaching from His childhood, from His boyhood. So we should follow
- You'll find Krsna always, wherever He is, He is playing on flute with company, either gopis or cowherd boy or somebody, somebody. This is enjoyment
- You'll find nowadays impersonalists, voidists, so many brahmanas, they have no idea what is the . . . what is God, who is God. That is called avaisnava. Vaisnava knows what is Visnu, what is God. But avaisnava, non-Vaisnava, they do not know
- You'll find that your material disease is being cured by spiritual foodstuff. That is practical. Therefore it is spiritual
- You'll never get perfection if you fall down. You can cheat others that, "I am in dress of a devotee, so I am . . ." But what is your character? What is your actual value? That has to be judged. That is called bona fide teacher
- You'll read in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, moon is the cause of vegetation, and there is no vegetation. Just see. Moon is the cause of vegetation in all planets, and they say there is no vegetation, it is simply dust. So we have to believe that?
- You're offering some prayers. That's all right. What is the difficulty if you offer the prayer to Krsna? You have to do the same thing in a systematic way
- You're so much anxious. Everyone says, "Can you show me God?" What you can see? What is the power of your eyes? You cannot see your eyelid. The eyelid is attached to the eye. Can you see? So how you can see God? You're so imperfect
- Your body is given by Krsna. In this way, we simply chant and preach like this, we are rendering service. Is it very difficult? Anyone can do. There is no need of qualification
- Your body or my body, it is always defective without the soul, and it is effective with the soul. This is the conclusion. Therefore Arjuna was chastised by Krsna that: You are giving stress on the body. This kind of conception is for the fools
- Your body, my body, in youthhood it is very beautiful, and in due course of time it will be ugly like me. So this is the work of the time. Similarly, nature's way, there are four ages: Satya-yuga, Treta-yuga, Dvapara-yuga, Kali-yuga. Seasonal changes
- Your business is how to become Krsna conscious. You should not be disturbed by nature's process. But if you want to help anyone, just try to help him in relationship with Krsna. That will be real benefit
- Your duty is to appoint nice physician, nice medicine. But is there any guarantee that he will live? Why does he die? You can say that "I have given the best medicine and best medical treatment," still, he dies. What is the cause
- Your first business is to approach bona fide guru and take his asraya. Otherwise there is no devotion
- Your name is Jivan-Krsna dasa, it means one who has made his life Krsna
- Your position means to understand you are eternal servant of God, and your duty, to carry out the orders of God
- Your scientists and your appreciator, all, they are like tiny dwarfs. What do they know about the universal affair? That is their fault. They are so small . . . That, the same example, Dr. Frog, calculating Atlantic Ocean. This is the fault
- Your senses are all imperfect. No senses are perfect. You can use the senses under certain condition only. I'm claiming, "This is my hand," and as soon as there is some nervous disability it is paralyzed, finished
- Your service is to Krsna, so it is not expected that everyone should be induced by your argument. You cannot expect. One day, two day, but we have to do our work. That's all
- Your so-called scientific research cannot help you. You have to learn it simply by hearing from the authority. This is called sruti
- Your speaking shall be accepted, and Krsna's speaking will be rejected? I have got some support, but what support you have got except your statement? Then everyone can give a statement and he becomes an authority
- Your Vedic scripture also, there is cow sacrifice. Caitanya Mahaprabhu immediately said: No, that is not killing. That was giving a new body to show the strength of the Vedic mantra
- Yudhisthira Maharaja is not only thinking of the human being who were killed in the Battlefield of Kuruksetra. He is thinking of all the horses, elephants - because they are also living entities
- Yugala-piriti, the love between Krsna and Radharani . . . the gopis are expansion of Radharani, pleasure potency of Krsna. These are all spiritual subject matter
- Yugayitam nimesena caksusa pravrsayitam: "From the eyes, torrents of rain is pouring." Sunyayitam jagat sarvam: "I see the whole world is void." Why? Govinda-virahena me: "I cannot see Govinda." This is Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s teaching
