If you want to get out of this entanglement, there is complete arrangement, facility, complete facility. "Those who are engaged in devotional service," Kṛṣṇa says, yoga-ksemam vahamy aham BG 10.10 , "I take personal charge for their maintenance." This is complete arrangement.

Mike Robinson: How do you know that the animal has a soul?

Srila Prabhupada: You can know, also. Here is the scientific proof: the animal eats, you eat; the animal sleeps, you sleep; the animal has sex, you have sex; the animal also defends, you also defend.

Mike Robinson: I can see that completely. But the

A man may be united with God either through action or through

Prahlada Maharaja said that even though temporary, the body can give us the highest perfectional achievement. In the process of evolution from the lower to the higher grade of living, the human form of life is a great boon.

But maya is so strong that in spite of achieving this great boon of

Here's some of Manidhara's seminar:

When I saw Prabhupada my dreams were over to enjoy this world. It's time to get real. So I joined the movement and within a couple of days I was on the street distributing books.

In Kali yuga there are no sruti dharas, whatever they hear it goes in one ear and out the other. Therefore we need books, and we have the best books these books can purify anyone who takes to reading them.

Sankirtan helps us come to the point of why we came to the Krsna consciousness
