We should befriend and offer special respect to persons who are developed in Krsna consciousness. Other living entities are undoubtedly part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, but because their consciousness is still covered and not developed in Krsna consciousness, we should renounce their association. It is said by Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura that even if one is a Vaisnava, if […]

One can simply imagine how blissful and blessed were the queens of Lord Krsna, who talked with Him personally and saw Lord Krsna face to face. No one can properly describe the fortune of the wives of Lord Krsna. They took care of Him personally by rendering various transcendental services like bathing Him, feeding Him, pleasing Him and serving […]

(Nairobi, 28 Oct 1975) Indian man (4): So can you show me something about that visva-svarupa? Prabhupada: You ask me? So am I Krsna? Why you are asking foolishly? That means you do not know Krsna. You are thinking me as Krsna. That you are foolish man. Indian man (4): No, I am not calling you are […]

Less intelligent people underestimate the value of cow’s milk. Cow’s milk is also called gorasa, or the juice from the body of the cow. Milk is the most valuable form of gorasa, and from milk we can prepare many important and valuable foodstuffs for the upkeep of the human body. The killing of cows by human society is one […]

But a woman is naturally…, her psychology is to dress very nicely so that man may be attracted. Because they want shelter. This is the whole psychology. Although they declare independence, they cannot live independently. That is not possible. Therefore they are by nature accustomed to dress attractively so that one may accept her and give […]

Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura has suggested how one can conquer lusty desires for sense gratification. One cannot give up thinking of women, for thinking in this way is natural; even while walking on the street, one will see so many women. However, if one is determined not to live with a woman, even while seeing a woman he will […]

If you neglectfully chant, still there is success, but it will take some time. And if you chant very carefully, following the rules and regulations, then your success in this life is guaranteed. If we do it properly, then it has got immense potency. Immense potency. Don’t think it is childish, it is formality. No. Just see here. Atha […]

Bhagavata’s description, how perfect it is in any subject matter. I have tried to explain what is there in the Bhagavatam, expand it. That is not my explanation; that is Krsna’s explanation. I cannot explain now. That moment I could explain. That means Krsna’s… I can understand that, that the description is very nicely given. Although it is my […]

I have seen in India. There was a fire in a house, and they came late, when the business is finished. And still they’re insisting, “We shall pour some water.” [laughter] Everyone asked them that “What is the use of?” “No, this is our system.” [laughter] The house is burnt into ashes, and they are looking the formality, “Yes, […]

[From “Vrindaban Days: Memories of a Holy Indian Town,” by Hayagriva Dasa. Chapter Five, p. 44] Although seventy-six, Prabhupada seems as ageless as ever. His head is freshly shaved, and the aroma of mustard-seed oil tells me that he has just received a massage. His complexion is radiant, his eyes clear, his face full and healthy. This […]

Protection and grazing ground for the cows are among the essential needs for society and the welfare of people in general. The animal fat required for the human body can be well derived from cow’s milk. Cow’s milk is very important for human energy, and the economic development of society depends on sufficient food grains, sufficient milk, and sufficient […]

Formerly marriage was a religious ceremony. Marriage was, this boy and this girl should be married, it is a religious function where the father and mother will see their horoscope and see if they are compatible, they will agree, they will live peacefully. So many things are there. Still, in India such things are calculated by the parents of […]
