1. City life in Kali-yuga

    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.

  2. Srila Prabhupada’s message to Indians

    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.

  4. Persian civilization, very high

  6. You do not know how to pronounce Sanskrit

    The slightest error that Syamasundara would make in the Sanskrit, Srila Prabhupada said “you still have, do not…” Srila Prabhupada was very strong. To Syamasundara he said “you still don’t know how to pronounce Sanskrit. Why not? You’re travelling for so many months with me but still you do not know how to pronounce.” Told […]
  7. Bhagavad-gita is directly Krsna

    Sometimes some people say — it is rascaldom — that “Arjuna heard directly from Krsna, but we don’t find Krsna in our presence, so how can I accept it?” It is not a question of direct presence, because you have no idea of the absolute knowledge. Krsna’s words, Bhagavad-gita, is not different from Krsna. It […]
  8. All benefits from Bhagavad-gita

    We are preaching this Krsna consciousness movement strictly on the basis of this Bhagavad-gita. In the Bhagavad-gita, there is everything explained. So if people take to it, if people are educated, then things will change in a different way. They’ll be happy and they will be peaceful, nice. And above, over and above them, they […]
