Seeing that the Mayavadis and others were fleeing, Lord Caitanya thought: I wanted everyone to be immersed in this inundation of love of Godhead, but some of them have escaped. Therefore I shall devise a trick to drown them also. Here is an important point. Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu wanted to invent a way to capture […]

TEXT: When someone heard the chanting of the holy name from the mouth of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and someone else heard this chanting from that second person, and someone again heard this chanting from the third person, everyone in all countries became a Vaisnava through such disciplic succession. Thus everyone chanted the holy name of […]

The sacrificial fire kindled by the sages of Naimisaranya was certainly full of smoke and doubts because of so many flaws. The first flaw is that there is an acute scarcity of expert brahmanas able to carry out such performances successfully in this Age of Kali. Any discrepancy in such sacrifices spoils the whole show, […]

Ramesvara: There was one question I had, Srila Prabhupada. You have written in the Third Volume of the First Canto [ SB 1.17.39] different instructions for the Age of Kali, how there’ll be compulsory marriage and so on and so on. And you mentioned about the gold standard, that this is very bad, this artificial […]

Instead of contemplating what will happen to this world — you have got a short duration of life, say fifty, sixty years — you should chant Hare Krsna and go back to home, back to Godhead. Don’t consider what will happen to this world. Nature will take care of it. Don’t puzzle your brain with […]

How you can offer your love? Patram puspam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati, tad aham bhakty-upahrtam asnami [Bg 9.26]. And if God accepts your things and eats, then what do you want more? He becomes your the most intimate friend. Yam labdhva caparam labham manyate nadhikam tatah [Bg 6.22]. If you can make God […]

A person, though he be even the most sinful man, can at once be purified by systematic contact with a pure Vaisnava…. So by the order of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the cult of Srimad-Bhagavatam or the Bhagavad-gita can be preached all over the world, reclaiming all persons willing to accept the transcendental cult. Such […]

“Sex life is already known to the people. Where is the necessity of education?”— Lecture, Dec 16, 1971 “They are giving sex education to the children. This is the way of destruction.”— Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.3.17 Lecture, Los Angeles, September 26, 1972 “Sex education means: ‘You go on enjoying, and here is how you enjoy.’ That’s all. […]

In modern times, the Krsna consciousness movement is trying to introduce the right principles of management for human society, but unfortunately the governments of Kali-yuga do not properly support the Hare Krsna movement because they do not appreciate its valuable service.  The Hare Krsna movement is the right movement for ameliorating the fallen condition of […]

The Perfection of YogaThe mind is cancala, flickering, and it changes very strongly. Therefore Arjuna admitted that controlling the mind is not at all possible; this would be as difficult as controlling the wind. For example, if one were in a boat moving according to the wind on a river or the sea, and the […]

Even though one may be very learned and wise, he is mad if he does not understand that the endeavor for sense gratification is a useless waste of time. Being forgetful of his own interest, he tries to be happy in the material world, centering his interests around his home, which is based on sexual […]

Two classes of men: the communist and the non-communist. Not exactly communist and capitalist, but communist and non-communist. Out of these two, the communists are going to be powerful. This is the world tendency. So if the world becomes full of communists, then the human civilization will be finished. All rogues and rascals, that’s all. […]
