Our Krsna consciousness movement is facing these rascals, these duskrtina, these naradhamas, and to request them to become Krsna conscious. This is Krsna consciousness movement. You cannot sit idly to show your gorgeousness in a secluded place, imitating Haridasa Thakura: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna. No. You have to preach. That is the order of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Amara ajnaya guru

If all philanthropic and humanitarian activities were directed toward achieving the ultimate goal of life -- to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead -- they would all be perfect. Humanitarian work without Krsna is nothing. Krsna must be brought to the center of all our activities; otherwise no activity will have value.

Dhrstadyumna Swami appeared at the door in some anxiety. He delivered a message from Tamal Krishna Goswami that the Berkeley and Washington D.C. temple presidents had banned the Radha-Damodara buses and men from attending the San Francisco Ratha-yatra parade, and the bicentennial Independence Day celebrations on July 4th in the capital.

Simple living and high thinking is the solution to economic problems. Therefore the Krsna consciousness movement is engaging devotees in producing their own food and living self-sufficiently so that rascals may see how one can live very peacefully, eat the food grains one has grown oneself, drink milk, and chant Hare Krsna.

I am very much stressing at this point that all of my students shall be very much conversant with the philosophy of Krsna consciousness and that they should read our books very diligently at least one or two hours daily and try to understand the subject matter from varieties of angles.

Atreya Rsi: Higher class. Very intelligent, educated... Prabhupada: The low class, they purchase that big roti. [laughs] That's all. Atreya Rsi: Big capati. Prabhupada: They cannot come to the restaurant. Parivrajakacarya: No. Atreya Rsi: Some people even come, higher class people, and work. They give their service

Indian culture is lost because they wanted to make compromises. This Vivekananda and company, they are preaching yata mat, tata patha. "You manufacture your way, and that is also all right." Krsna says mam ekam, and he has manufactured, "Whatever you manufacture is all right." Yata mat, tata patha. And spoil the whole country.
