Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Forgiveness, p. 161
If you struggle with forgiveness, then remember how Haridasa Thakura forgave those who beat and tormented him. Prahlada Maharaja also forgave his father, who tried to kill him, and even asked Lord Nrisimhadeva to bless him. The Pandavas forgave Dritarastra, even though Dritarastra made so many plans to destroy them. Srila Prabhupada even mentions Lord Jesus Christ in a Fourth Canto purport: while on the cross, Jesus prayed, "O Lord, forgive them for they know not what they do." These examples are there to teach us how to cultivate the quality of forgiveness. And by so doing, we can also change the heart of a person who may have even done something wrong.
Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 4.3-6, New York, July 13, 1966
Our fund of knowledge is very poor. We cannot present history of this present world more than three thousand years. But in the Vedic scripture we find history, millions and millions of years. That is the beauty of Vedic literature. So because we cannot find out in the modern day more than three thousand years of chronological history, that does not mean that there was no history before and there were no historical incidences. No. That we should not conclude in that way.
