Hare Krishna!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
In our University,we have convinced our teacher, who takes official Bhagavad Gita course in our campus to play some Srila Prabhupada's lecture in the class.Can any one suggest a good lecture that can be played.The lecture must be in such a way that it must not offend any one in any way especially impersonists.Can any one suggest a good lectures as new students can get to know about Srila Prabhupada and his teachings.(It will be good if the lectures says that impersonalism is wrong without offending as my teacher's preachings is close to it).We have all the lectures of Prabhupada.Just need the complete details of SOME good lectures.Hare Krishna!

Hare Krishna!
Thank you all for your comments.Presently we in class are in Bhatkhi yoga chapter(Chapter 6) and my preacher feels it good to start with a lecture of Prabhupada on Bhakthi yoga or devotion.Can anyone suggest one lecture.
Respected Rankin Fisher prabhu,
what I meant was replace those words with lesser harsh words otherwise people will not become Krishna cons and I am not saying edit the books. since its a lecture just replace those words by less harsh words.
I remember once I gave Bhagvad Gita to a highly qualified lady and there were some harsh words used against women. she called me up within an hour and complained look whats written about women this that and she did not read further.

I understand prabhu, I was not criticizing you.
You are correct, we can't just distribute these materials; we also need to associate with, and preach to, those seeking this higher information. That is the only way to give the materials in the right perspective.
Hare Krsna
Hare Krsna,
My obeisances to all devotees, guru and gauranga.
This is a lecture I hear quite often.

I have to agree with Rankin prabhu, we shouldnt edit any of Srila Prabupada's lecture.
Give them the perfect knowledge and leave it to them on how they want to interpret and comprehend it. By NOT editing you will get the satisfaction of delivering Srila Prabupada's words as it is and both Krsna and Srila Prabhupad will be happy.
Chant and be happy.
Srila prabhupada ki jai..

I always remember what His Divine Grace Abhay Charan de Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada said from one of his purports in Srimad Bhagavatam that he will sit UNDER A TREE even if takes several lifetimes with a SINCERE devotee of God by mentoring to him/ her the Science of Krishna Consciousness, bring to the devotee God himself who will reveal to him/her the secrets of the ancients. Then I saw what my Vani Guru meant when I recalled what the fox said to the Little Boy Prince of St Antoine Exupery's book The Little Prince that goes this way, " It is only from the heart one can see clearly.What is essential is invisible to the eye." In other words, all of us devotees of God get clear instructions from the Paramatma who is present in the heart of all living entities and from without as the Time factor every second, minutes , hours of the day being the localized expansion of Krishna. Please do not be deceive by what you see or hear from the outside. Listen to your heart if possible use a stetoscope. He is always there giving us instructions. This is real science.
Haribol always,

you have all the lectures then go ahead with that. there are so many books by Srila Prabhupada. They can be used as lectures. remove the words rascals fools asses where ever he has used. that will not offend any one
Satish prabhu,
We cannot make such edits of Srila Prabhupada's lectures.
D. Vamsi prabhu,
It would be best to find a video on one of our youtube channels.
I will look and see what would be nice, and get back to you with links.

He always seems to be talking about Krsna,... but he isn't always criticizing Impersonalists.
