Quotes Of The Day

October 19, 2025 - Lecture on Brihad-bhagavatamrita

How fortunate it is to have taken a human birth so soon after the appearance of Lord Caitanya. We should not be interested in attaining the upper planetary systems, where we will have a long wait to graduate from the material world. We should take full advantage of the facility which Lord Caitanya has given through the distribution of His holy name and through the instructions of His followers, who have elaborated upon His teachings to make Krishna consciousness and prema-bhakti so fully accessible even in this age of Kali-yuga.

Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 7.2, Nairobi, 28 October, 1975

As there is theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge in scientific advancement, so simply theoretical knowledge will not help me. Theoretically I may know that I am not this body, but practically it must be known. If not, if I am not this body, then I am soul. Then I am working here in this world only for my body. What I am doing about my soul? That is knowledge. Suppose I have got this coat and pant and hat. If he simply tries..., dry clean the coat and do not put any food in the stomach, how long this civilization will go on? Starving. So the whole world is in disturbed condition because there is no spiritual food, only material cleansing the shirt and coat. That is going on. Like cats and dogs, they are interested with the body.
