1. Please, get up, get up, get up

    Our only aim is how to preach Krsna consciousness. The Vaisnava’s business is para-duhkha-duhkhi. Para means others, and duhkha means unhappy. So Vaisnava personally has no unhappiness, because Vaisnava is under the protection of Krsna. So there is no question of unhappiness for a Vaisnava. But Vaisnava is unhappy by seeing others suffering. Para-duhkha-duhkhi. That […]
  2. Life on other planets

    Prabhupada: In the sun planet, in the moon planet, there are also human beings like us, and they are called devas because they are high, intellectual. They are all very powerful than ourself, and they have got different bodies with different power and everything. Otherwise, there is no question… Even great scientists like Dr. Meghnad […]
  3. Angry parents

    This mentality of Prajapati Daksa still continues even today. When young boys join the Krsna consciousness movement, their fathers and so-called guardians are very angry at the propounder of the Krsna consciousness movement because they think that their sons have been unnecessarily induced to deprive themselves of the material enjoyments of eating, drinking and merrymaking. […]
  4. Equal rights for women is maya

    Just like a male and female. That movement is very strong now in America. The female wants to become male, or equal rights. This is maya. How woman can become in equal with man? Of course, we are not going to study the social welfare activities or something like that, but purusa and prakrti, they […]
  5. Bhakti, like a mango, is always good

    Mango is so nice, either ripened or unripened, it is always good. And that goodness may be tasted by different types of men. But mango is always good. Mango is mango, “King of all fruits.” So devotional service is king of all processes of God realization. That is its position always, either ripened orunripe. From […]
  6. Rules for chanting

    Why not follow strictly? It is very simple. Chant Hare Krishna mantra. Because in the beginning we have no attachment for Hare Krishna mantra therefore the stricture is that you must chant so many beads. So, so long we haven’t got natural aptitude, natural affection for chanting Hare Krishna. We must follow these rules. But […]
  7. All the demons will be finished

    So these rascals are going on. So it is very difficult to preach Krishna consciousness. The whole world is overburdened by these rascals and demons. So atom bomb is waiting for them. Yes. It will be finished. All the demons will be finished. Srila Prabhupada, SB 1.8.34, Los Angeles, April 26, 1973
  8. Peace treaties

    If you keep them as dogs, and if you ask some dogs, “My dear dogs, please do not bark. Live peacefully,” is it possible? The dog will bark. That is their business. So we are not enlightening them what is actually we are. We are keeping on this bodily conception. That is the dog’s conception. […]
  9. Students’ political struggle

    I have received your letter without date, stating about the situation in Boston. On the statement of your letter, I can understand that it is a political situation. Of course, although everything includes in Krishna Consciousness, we do not wish to take part directly in controversial politics. We can take part in politics only which […]
