When I come to India, they say that I am spoiling Hindu system of religion. And when I go there, the Christian says that “You are the greatest enemy.” (laughter) This is my position: If I go ahead, then… And if I go behind, then… So what can be done? I have to execute my duty. I am […]

Yes, we are fighting impersonalism and voidism with pure devotional service. Impersonalism and voidism kills the natural aptitude of devotion which is lying dormant in everyone’s heart. Therefore we are printing books like our KRISHNA book so that people may know it that the supreme absolute truth is a person. The perfection of every living creature is to render […]

We are in the womb of the mother, and all of a sudden we come out, we see light, begin to cry, and the relatives take care of us and we forget everything, in how much precarious condition I was before my birth. Those who are ordinarily sinful can at least see the light once, but those who […]

With the progression of the Age of Kali, people are becoming very proud, very much attached to women, and increasingly victimized by intoxication. By the influence of the Age of Kali, even a pauper is proud of his penny, the women are always dressed in an overly attractive fashion to victimize the minds of men, and men are addicted […]

For a sincere person to go back to home, back to Godhead, is not at all difficult. Especially Krsna in this age has personally appeared as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is very, very kind to the fallen souls. Papi-tapi jata chilo, hari-name uddharilo. His business was with all the papi and tapi. Papi means sinful, and […]

CC Antya 3.51 purport: Those who are following in the footsteps of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu should take the Lord’s mission most seriously. … One who identifies himself as a follower of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu should feel like Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who said, iha-sabara kon mate ha-ibe nistara: “How will all these yavanas be delivered?” CC Adi 9.39 purport: Therefore […]

If one becomes a pure bhakta, he will forget all material sense enjoyment. Being a bhakta doesn’t simply mean wearing tilaka and robes. One is not a bhakta if he has a taste for material sense enjoyment. A true bhakta wants to satisfy not his senses but the senses of Krsna. That is the spiritual world. In the spiritual […]

Why are we preaching? Why, what was the necessity to come in the Western country? No. Krsna wants; Caitanya Mahaprabhu wants. Therefore devotee goes from town to town, village to village. Prthivite ache yata nagaradi-grama [CB Antya-khanda 4.126]. This is Vaisnava. He is thinking for everyone. Because it is a fact, without Krsna consciousness, everyone is suffering. That’s a fact. […]

The Padma Purana recommends: somehow or other always think of Visnu, without forgetting Him under any circumstances. Actually this is the most basic of all regulative principles. It doesn’t matter whether one is a beginner — a brahmacari — or is very advanced — a sannyasi. The principle of remembering the Supreme Personality of Godhead constantly and not forgetting […]

Putra [son] has got a duty, to save the forefathers. Therefore one has to, it is his duty to keep a putra. At least one son he must leave. But people are not very much anxious to have putra. Rather to kill putra. They are so sinful. Kama-lobha-hata-cetasah. Simply sense enjoyment. That’s all. Why bharya? Why one should […]

People can keep cows, and all economic problems can be solved in that way. One need only work to produce grains and take care of the cows. Srila Prabhupada; Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.30.44 Purport

To attain freedom from material life, one must take to Krsna consciousness. Otherwise, if one very busily engages in the so-called advancement of science, what benefit will he derive? If one is carried away by the waves of nature, what is the meaning of being a great scientist or philosopher? Mundane science and philosophy are also material creations. One […]
