Srila Prabhupada: If there is civilization, that is this Aryan civilization in India, Vedic civilization. Otherwise, throughout the whole world… These people were within Aryan civilization. Aryan, Iranian, their names are given. Up to Iran, their field(?). Europeans also, Indo-European. Gradually they declined. Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mission is to make them civilized. Pascimera loka saba mudha […]

If one remains kriya-hina even after being purified by initiation — in other words, if one fails to actually apply the principles of purity in his life — he remains an unpurified mleccha or yavana. From Srila Prabhupada’s  purport to Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Antya-lila 3.124

The hippies are nothing but a group of madmen, that’s all. A madman, they…, means publicly sex, that’s all. This Allen Ginsberg’s movement is that, homosex, public sex. Ginsberg was very proud that he had introduced homosex. He was telling me. Srila Prabhupada/ Room Conversation, July 14, 1977, Vrindavana Allen Ginsberg died on 5 April […]

Srila Prabhupada: The priests are after money. They are not first class; they are low-class men. This is the reason that Christianity has fallen down. The priests cannot speak straightforwardly. There is a straightforward commandment–“Thou shalt not kill.” But because people are already killing, the priests are afraid to present the commandment straightforwardly. Now they […]

Has this civilization produced anything more than the doggish mentality of quarreling individually and nationally? Has this civilization enhanced the cause of equality and fraternity by sending thousands of men into hellish factories and the war fields at the whims of a particular man? From Srila Prabhupada’s purport to SB 1.10.4

To keep the gopis in Vrndavana satisfied, Lord Balarama stayed there continuously for two months, namely the months of Caitra (March–April) and Vaisakha (April–May). For those two months He kept Himself among the gopis, and He passed every night with them in the forest of Vrndavana to satisfy their desire for conjugal love. Thus Balarama […]

The Ravana class of men, they want Sita without Rama, and therefore there is havoc. Ravana kidnapped Sita from the clutches of Ravana, and the result was that the whole nation, whole family, was vanquished. And Hanuman’s policy was to bring back Sita and let her sit down by the side of Rama. So we […]

Yes, the city will be more dangerous place as Kali-yuga advances. It will be very deteriorating. The modern civilization is so corrupt and as sinful activities are more and more committed, the people will be forced to face more troubles, by natures order. Our business, however is to simply take shelter of the Hare Krsna […]

CC Adi 17.218 Translation and purport by Srila Prabhupada: “Because you have chanted three holy names of the Lord—Hari, Krsna and Narayana—you are undoubtedly the most fortunate and pious.” Here the Supreme Lord, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, confirms that anyone who chants the holy names Hari, Krsna and Narayana without offense is certainly extremely fortunate, and […]

In great jubilation, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, “My clear Svarupa Damodara and Ramananda Raya, know from Me that chanting of the holy names is the most feasible means of salvation in this Age of Kali.” Srila Prabhupada’s translation of Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Antya-lila 20.8

I’m repeatedly saying the same thing — that Indian civilization is different from others. We should stick to our own culture. That is the prerogative that I am repeatedly speaking, Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s message: bharata-bhumite manusya-janma haila yarajanma sarthaka kari’ kara para-upakara [Cc Adi 9.41] Anyone who has taken birth in this holy land of Bharata-varsa, he […]

Lord Sri Ramacandra is so kind and merciful to His devotees that He is very easily satisfied by a little service rendered by anyone, human or not. This is the special advantage of worshiping Lord Ramacandra, and there is the same advantage in worshiping Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Lord Krsna and Lord Ramacandra, in the […]
