Prabhupada answered simply. "You become guided by Bhagavad-gita. Brahmanas means they are teachers. Pathana-paathana-yajana-yaajana-dana-pratigrahah.

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap in its shade.... He loved the tree, and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by. The little boy grew up, and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree with a sad look on his face.
"Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy.
"I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore." The

Dear Devotees,
Dandavat pranams. Jay Srila Prabhupada!
HH Purnacandra Maharaja is still in coma and it seems that there is not much
that the doctors can do to get him out of it. He is on life support, but the
doctors at this point are not talking about discontinuing with life support.
The problem in Moscow is getting the right information from the doctors
because they are reluctant to speak about his predicament as Maharaja is an
American citizen, without any 'legal' representative in Russia. T

Because Bhagavad-gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad-gita. In the present age, people are so absorbed in mundane activities that it is not possible for them to read all the Vedic literatures. But this is not necessary. This one book, Bhagavad-gita, will suffice, becau
