While we were in New Plymouth the other day to run a few errands, Syama-gauri and I thought we'd try selling a few Gitas to a small quasi-spiritual book store in town, which also specializes in crystals, magic potions, fairy statues and incense sticks. A few weeks back, Syama-gauri had by chance meet one of the staff who worked there, and mentioned in passing that we had the Bhagavad-gita and other books from the East, and the store might like to buy some from us to display on their shelves.

Shri Shri Bhrahma Samhita Verse 54.

TRANSLATION
I adore the primeval Lord Govinda, who burns up to their roots all fruitive activities of those who are imbued with devotion and impartially ordains for each the due enjoyment of the fruits of one's activities, of all those who walk
in the path of work, in accordance with the chain of their previously performed works, no less in the case of the tiny insect that bears the name of indragopa than in that of Indra, king of the devas.

Prakrti means under the control of the purusa. That is natural. We cannot conceive equal rights of purusa and prakrti. That is not Vedic conception. Vedic conception is purusa, the superior, Supreme, and prakrti means subordinate. Purusa is predominator, and prakrti is predominated. So we living entities, we are prakrti. Falsely if we try to become purusa, that is maya. We should remain prakrti, subservient, predominated. That is this Krsna consciousness movement. Because generally the people ar

"Ruchinam vaichitryad rijukutil nana path jusham;

"Due to the differences in individual dispositions, people follow different paths, but you are the only destination of all of them, just as the sea is the destination of all the waters"

Akashat patitam toyam sagaram prati gacchati,

sarva deva namaskaram Keshavam prati gacchati"

"All the water fallen from the sky goes to the sea,

salutations to all the gods reaches to the one Lord Hari"

So it is not possible to understand Krsna, but Krsna is giving about, knowledge about Himself, as far as we can understand. That is Bhagavad-gita. So at least you try to understand Krsna as far instruction in the Bhagavad-gita... Caitanya Mahaprabhu has recommended, yare dekha tare kaha krsna-upadesa [Cc. Madhya 7.128]. The human life is meant for understanding Krsna. There is no other business. If you simply stick to this business, your life is successful. Our Krsna consciousness movement is me

One great saint once gave an example that if a person owns everything on the earth, if he is the proprietor of everything on earth, but he is the only person alive on Earth, will he enjoy? You have all the cars, you have all the buildings, you have all the money, you have all the food, you have everything but you are the only person and there is no competition. If one little bird ca

This is bhakti-marga, devotional service, to become very humble, meek, always pray to Krsna, "Kindly consider me as one of the particle of the dust of the lotus feet of Your Lordship," this very simple thing. Man-mana. In this way think of Krsna, become His devotee, offer obeisances and whatever patram puspam, little flower, water, you can provide, offer to Krsna. In this way live very peacefully and be happy.
