Confronted with a civilization being deliberately misled into hell, devotees cannot but speak strongly. Out of devotional attachment to Lord Krsna, devotees cannot tolerate the deliberately misleading nonsense spoken by rogues. The
Prabhupada: These animals, they are passing on as big scientists, philosophers, theologicians, and so on, so on. We have to stop them. Na mam duskrtino mudhah prapadyante naradhamah. This is the qualificati

Once a book distributor asked Srila Prabhupada about maintaining humility, when her engagement required her to be demandingly assertive. "Be
Compromise and flattery have no effect where strong words are required. POY Ch. 4
But does this not contradict the Vaisnava principle of humility? Not according to Srila Prabhupada.
Krsna is especially addressing as, "chastiser of the enemy." Where there is no excuse, you must be a chastiser. Not that, "Because I have become Krsna conscious, I'll be ve
प्रभु है आनंद के सागर
दुनिया है दुःख का रेगिस्तान
रेगिस्तान में ढूँढते हम
आनंद के मोती।
प्रभु हैं उजाला
ये दुनिया है अन्धकार
अन्धकार में कहाँ मिले
आशा की ज्योति।
प्रभु से दूर दौड़ रहे थे
और खुशी ढूंढ रहे थे
मिलती तो तभी खुशी
जब यहाँ वो होती ।
सुख की खोज में जब भागते-भागते
जब जिंदगी गुजर गयी
तब जाके पता चला
हम जिधर दौड़ रहे थे
वो दिशा ही उल्टी थी।
भगवान आते हैं इस धरा पर
भक्तों के उद्धार के लिए.
वरना उनकी एक भृकुटी ही
काफी है दुष्टों के संहार के लिए.
प्रभु भाव के भूखे हैं
और प्यार की हैं उन्हें प्यास
भक्तों से प्रेम का विनिमय करने
वो खुद भी आ जाते भक्तों के पास
जिनके अंदर है समाये जाने
कितनी पृथ्वी,कितने आकाश
उस विभु प्रभु को भी रख लेता
अपने ह्रदय में उनका दास
जिन्होंने गजेन्द्र के बंधन खोले
जिनका नाम ही कर दे पाप का नाश
वो नटवर भी न खोल पाते हैं
मैया यशोदा का वो प्रेम का पाश
प्रेम के लिए प्रभु तो
क्या नही कर जाते हैं
कभी व्रज में माखन चुराते हैं
कभी मैया क

The following conversation between His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and an Indian doctor took place in September 1973 at the Hare Krishna center in London.
Doctor: Can you scientifically prove that the soul exists? I mean, is it purely a matter of belief, or—
Srila Prabhupada: No, it is a scientific fact. Our science is perfect, because we are receiving knowledge from the perfect source, Krishna. And modern
Bodily consciousness is so strongly forced into people that hardly any religion is able to train their followers in real spiritual understanding. Even the religions are root
