Pandal Lecture -- Delhi, November 20, 1971:

Now here is the chance that human form of body. Now you have got discrimination, you can understand because your consciousness is advanced. Now you can make your choice, whether you want to continue this repeated birth and death in different species of life or you want to go back to home, back to Godhead. That is your discretion. Therefore Prahlāda Mahārāja said:

kaumāra ācaret prājño
dharmān bhāgavatān iha
durlabhaṁ mānuṣaṁ janma
tad apy adhruvam arthadam
(SB 7.6.1)

Very nice instruction. "My dear friends,"durlabhaṁ, durlabhaṁ mānuṣaṁ janma, "this human form of body is very, very rare to achieve. Now we have got it, therefore let us begin Kṛṣṇa consciousness from very childhood." That is the Vedic system. From the very childhood a brahmacārī is given Kṛṣṇa consciousness so that in future his life becomes perfect. What is that perfect? He knows Kṛṣṇa by Kṛṣṇa consciousness perfectly. And what is the result? If one knows Kṛṣṇa perfectly, then tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti (BG 4.9): then after giving up this body, he does not come again back to take another material body, and he goes back to home:

mām upetya kaunteya
duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam
nāpnuvanti mahātmānaḥ
saṁsiddhiṁ paramāṁ gatāḥ
(BG 8.15)

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is very scientific, based on Vedic knowledge. And it is so perfect that we are actually seeing that anyone who is taking this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, he is feeling how happy he is. I am getting thousands of letters from Western countries, from my disciples, how much transcendental feeling they are enjoying.

So I do not wish to take much of your time. This Kṛṣṇa consciousness should be injected from the very beginning of life, from childhood. So you are here, our Honorable High Commissioner of Canada is present, His Excellency. So I request that you have come to our country, please try to understand this philosophy. And so far I have traveled in your country, I have traveled in Canada also, as you have already mentioned, we have got five branches—in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Hamilton and Ottawa. So the boys are struggling.

They are distributing literature, their books, and I am getting very encouraging reports. Many young men, they are coming. It is a very scientific movement. So I request you to, I mean to say, inform your government to give these boys who are struggling to inject this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement in your country all facilities.

Thank you very much. Hare Kṛṣṇa.
