One who is engaged in chanting the holy name, for him this is the special facility. What is that? It is guaranteed that he’ll never go to the hellish condition of life. That is guaranteed. He’s not degrading to the lowest stage of life, in animal life, or a life of ignorance, lower-born of human life, but he will […]

Our attempt should be from kanistha-adhikara to madhyama-adhikara. Madhyama-adhikara means preacher. Unless one comes to the madhyama-adhikara, he cannot preach. Because in the uttama-adhikara there is no need of preaching, because uttama-adhikara, he sees everything good. He does not think anyone is lacking Krsna consciousness. He says everyone is Krsna con… “Simply I am not Krsna conscious.” Just like […]

Prabhupada: Yes, the average man is… Now we are preaching this cult, but why they are not coming? You have kindly come, but maybe tomorrow you may not come. They’re not eager to understand. They want to be misled. They want to be cheated. That is their progression. They don’t want the truth. Because if he wants the truth, […]

The Bhagavatam is especially meant for the pure devotees, who always engage in Krsna consciousness, in the activities of the Lord, and always glorify these transcendental activities. Pure devotees worship the transcendental activities of the Lord in Vrndavana, Dvaraka and Mathura as they are narrated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam and other Puranas. The Mayavadi philosophers completely reject them as stories, but […]

God is feeding us. You will find in Africa, there are millions of elephants. Who is giving them food? In your home, within the hole, you will find millions of ants. Are you giving them food? Who is giving them food? There are so many birds and beasts. There is no ration, government ration for them. They are eating. […]

When one gets tired of keeping a burden on his head, he will place it on his shoulder. This does not mean that he has become freed from the strains of carrying the burden. Similarly, human society in the name of civilization is creating one kind of trouble to avoid another kind of trouble. In contemporary civilization we see […]

We should not take very leniently that we are going back to Godhead. Of course, there is so many concession, but at the same time, we should be very much aware of the responsibility that we have decided to go back to Godhead after leaving this body, so we have to perform some austerities. The austerity in our Gaudiya-sampradaya […]

If you chant this Hare Krsna mantra, there is no loss for it, but there is great gain. This is the significance. We are distributing this Hare Krsna mantra not with any charges: free. We are chanting. Anyone can hear and repeat it. So there is no monetary loss, but if you chant it, then you have got the […]

Life is Krsna consciousness. So if you actually feel for your country, for your community, for your people, just spread this Krsna consciousness. They’re dying. You spread this Krsna consciousness, they’ll come again to life, and everything will be actually beautiful. That is my request. I came to your country with this mission, that “The American people, they are feeling […]

Now you have got the golden opportunity of this human form of life, and it is not by accident that you have met your spiritual master, so if you are actually intelligent you will stick very tightly to your position of Krsna Consciousness and go back to home, back to Godhead. The essential point to remember is that […]

Your idea for 5 different articles in BTG monthly is very nice. I like your “topical articles” also. Keep them simple and Krishna Conscious, avoiding too much bending to the public taste, but if they are appropriate to current problems, then it is nice proposal. Rayarama tried this too, but his style was not very appealing to me. Actually, […]

If you can stop your children’s birth and death, then beget children. This is the sastric injunction. And if the father does not know how to stop his own birth and death, then what is the use of producing children? The father should be so sympathetic with the children, with the sons, that he must know what is the […]
