Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Vrindavan does not require to be modernized because Krishna's Vrindavan is transcendental village. They completely depend on nature's beauty and nature's protection. The community in which Krishna preferred to belong was Vaisya community, because Nanda Maharaja happened to be a Vaisya king, or landholder, and his main business was cow protection. It is understood that he had 900,000 cows and Krishna and Balarama used to take charge of them, along with His many cowherd boy friends, and every day, in the morning He used to go out with His friends and cows into the pasturing grounds. Letter to Hayagriva, June 14, 1968.
Spiritual master is representative of God, similarly, king is also representative of God. The father is also representative of God. These are the statements of the sastras. Because they will guide. The spiritual master will guide. The father will guide. What is that guidance? That guidance is how one can become Krishna conscious by education, by culture. Mayapur, June 15, 1973.
If you take one cent from somebody else without doing something good to him or without exchanging something, then you are debtor, and you have to pay him with interest and compound interest. That is the law of karma. New Vrindavan, June 16, 1969.
Horse is controlled by the mouth. Therefore you have seen the harnesses are fixed in the mouth, the driver controls the mouth, and the horse goes. So Krishna was a boy. How did He know that "This Kesi has come in the shape of a horse. If I have to control him, I will have to control his mouth." So he pushed His hand within the mouth of the horse, and the horse felt it was just like a hot iron bar, so he died. Similarly, when Krishna fought with Aristasura, he knew that to control the bull you have to control the horns. So He took up the horns and killed him. This is svabhaviki, natural. He knows everything. Mayapur, June 17, 1973.
