Prabhupada: So this evening I shall speak to you about Sanatana Gosvami, when he resigned from his ministership in the government of Nawab Hussain Shah in Bengal and joined Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in His movement of Krsna consciousness.
So there is a long history how he resigned. He was the trustee of the government. Formerly, although the government was Muhammadan, the best Hindu personality was engaged to take charge of the ministership. Even in Akbar's time the same principle was done. Maharaja Jayasingh. Even Aurangzeb, he was a very rigid Muhammadan, still, his principal minister was Maharaja Jayasingh. Similarly, Sanatana Gosvami and his brother Rupa Gosvami, they accepted the government service coming from a very respectable brahmana family. But they were rejected by the brahmana community because they accepted the service of Muhammadan. Formerly, the Hindu society was very strict. Brahmanas would not accept anyone's service. So Sanatana Gosvami, after joining Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he left Bengal. And when Srila Caitanya Mahaprabhu was residing in Benares to deliver the Mayavadi sannyasis, at that time, his bavarnasee (?) ... So after he was clean-shaved... This is one of the items of our movement. If one wants to be initiated, he must be clean-shaved. So Sanatana Gosvami was clean-shaved. And after becoming a regular Vaisnava, then he is asking like this:
So he approached Caitanya Mahaprabhu in a very humble manner. That is the way of approaching a guru. The Vedic instruction is,
Samit-panih, taking that short grass, kusa. In Sanskrit it is called kusa. So Sanatana Prabhu approached Him very humbly. That is the way. In the Bhagavad-gita it is said,
We must approach a bona fide guru for enlightenment. And samit-panih srotriyam: one who has received knowledge by hearing, not by speculating. Nowadays it has become a fashion to speculate. The Vedic injunction is, "No. By hearing." You have to approach the right person and hear. Therefore the whole Vedic literature is called sruti. One has to learn very intelligently by hearing from the authority. The same example we find in Bhagavad-gita. In the battlefield, where time is very valuable, still, Arjuna is hearing from Krsna. Krsna is instructing, and Arjuna is hearing. So this hearing process is our Vedic process. Caitanya Mahaprabhu has recommended, according to, of course, Vedic injunction: sthane sthitah sruti-gatam tanu-van-manobhih. You haven't got to change your position. It is not necessary that you have to take sannyasa from grhastha life, you have to give up your occupation. No. That is not very important thing. The important thing is This verse was submitted by Lord Brahma:
jnane prayasam udapasya namanta eva
(jivanti) san-mukharitam bhavadiya-vartam sthane sthitah sruti-gatam tanu-van-manobhir ye prayaso ajito 'py asi tais... If you want to understand God... That is the business of human life. Human life is specially... That is the chance. Because we are in the cycle of birth and death, changing, migrating from one body to another... This is our position. So except human body, lower than the human body, we can understand how they are suffering. Suppose a tree. Here we are sitting so comfortably. A few yards off from this place, there is a tree, and it is standing for thousands of years. Is not that punishment? If I tell Mr. such and such, "You stand up here for five hours," he'll become mad. That is a sort of punishment to the children. Formerly, the punishment was... The teacher, in the class, a naughty boy, he's asked, "Stand up on the bench." Therefore, half an hour to stand up on the bench becomes a very, very intolerable pain for him. So just imagine that the tree, this is punishment, standing in one place. I saw one tree in San Francisco; they say it is seven thousand years old. So except human form of life, there are eight million different forms of life. And there is little idea in the Darwin's theory of evolution. That is only imitation of the Vedic literature, and he wanted to credit for himself. He presented it pervertedly. But actually, in the Padma Purana the evolution theory is there. Asitim caturas caiva laksams tan jiva-jatisu. There are 8,400,000 species of forms in jiva-jatisu, the living entities. They're passing through. So this is the chance, human form of life, to get out of this cycle of birth and death. Actually, this is our miserable condition. Krsna presents these four things as actually miserable condition. We are trying to remove miseries and get happiness. This is called struggle for existence. Manah sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati [Bg. 15.7]. Mamaivamso jiva-bhuto jiva-loke sanatanah. In the Bhagavad-gita Krsna says that "These living entities, they are My part and parcels, qualitatively as good as I am.'' So the Vedanta-sutra says, "The living entities or God, they are meant for enjoyment.'' Anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12). By nature anandamaya. So "Why I am put into this miserable condition?'' This is the questions by intelligent human being. And if he remains satisfied with the miseries of this material life, then he's no better than the cats and dogs. Sa eva go-kharah [SB 10.84.13].
So this is intelligence, to inquire about the miserable condition of life. So Sanatana Gosvami, he says,
"My dear Sir, although I was born in brahmana family, but now I am rejected. I am counted amongst the Muhammadans." Because their name was also changed, these two brothers. And even they were rejected by the brahmana community, and their association was these big, big zamindars, most of them visayis, only concerned with pound, shilling, pence. So about him it is said by Srinivasa Acarya, tyaktva turnam asesa-mandala-pati-srenim sada tucchavat. These Gosvamis, they were very exaltedly posted as minister and were associate Minister means associated with big, big men, big businessmen, big zamindars, like that. So mandala-pati. And big men mandala-pati, who controls a very big circle, especially the zamindars, landholders. So tyaktva turnam asesa-mandala-pati-srenim. He gave up the association of these big, big men. Tyaktva turnam asesa-mandala-pati-srenim sada tucchavat. Tuccha means, "Eh, what is this? It has no value.'' So this is not ordinary thing, one can give up. But by the grace of Krsna, by the grace of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, one may think of this material enjoyment very insignificant. (child making noises) (aside:) The child may be taken out. So he gave up the association and [break]
...the birds, they have no problem. Early in the morning they rise up, and they are certain, somewhere there is some fruit. They will eat and sleep in the top of the tree. They haven't got to make arrangement, economic development. It already is there. But it is very difficult to understand that these material necessities of life is already arranged. You cannot get more, cannot get... Suppose some of our Indian friends, they come to this country, far away. Does it mean that simply by coming here he has become millionaire? No. In Bengali it is said, yadi gar bange kaphala yabe sange (?), Wherever you go, your this fate will go with you. If you are meant for getting ten thousand, you'll never get ten thousand, one hundred. You'll get, either you remain in your country or go to hell. Destiny. This is called destiny. Therefore sastra says,
tasyaiva hetoh prayateta kovido
na labhyate yad bhramatam upary adhah tal labhyate duhkhavad anyatah sukham kalena sarvatra gabhira-ramhasa [SB 1.5.18] Just like nobody hankers after distress, but we have experienced, distress is forced upon us. So similarly, sastra says that whatever happiness you are destined to get, wherever you remain, you'll get it by destiny. So there is no need of trying for suppressing distress and getting happiness. Don't waste your time in that way. But you try for that thing which you never got in other different forms of life. That is Krsna consciousness. This life is meant for this purpose, to understand Krsna and God, or God. Yes. That is the only... athato brahma jijnasa. This is meant. Not for wasting our time simply with the animal propensities. The modern civilization, modern education, has no information about this. Nobody is trying to understand what is the actual aim of life. There is no such civilization. Therefore he is presenting himself, kuvisaya-kupe padi' gonainu janama. "Simply in the matter of searching after false happiness I have wasted my time." That he has condemned.
Then he says,
Because brahmanas in India It is A custom is still: whatever he may be, because he's born in a brahmana family, he's addressed as panditaji. Panditaji. So here Sanatana Gosvami says, gramya-vyavahare. Gramya-vyavahare means in village transaction. "Actually I am not pandita, but the villagers, my neighbors, they call me pandita. And because they call me pandita, I also think that I am a pandita.'' I have seen it in Calcutta. One man was pulling on thela with a sacred thread, and another man, maybe he's village men, he "Panditaji, pala ela(?)." And he's pulling on thela, he said, "Betaji kag amar(?)." Now this is going on. What is the value of his asirvad(?), blessing, who is engaged in pulling on thela? But this is gramya-vyavahare. This is not actual fact. So Caitanya..., by the grace of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Sanatana Gosvami has learned it that "They called me pandita. It is false address. I am not really pandita.'' Why you are not pandita? You are educated. You are very good scholar in Sanskrit and Parsi. And as in these days English is considered to be very important subject And actually it is. So unless one is educated in English, he's half-educated, still. So he was educated certainly. As a brahmana he was educated in Sanskrit, and as government officer, he had to learn, in those days, Urdu and Parsi. So he was educated. But he says that "Although they call me pandita and I am, maybe I am little educated. But the difficulty is that I do not know what is the ultimate goal of life, or my real position of happiness.'' Apanara hitahita kichui na jani.
Ask any learned scholar in these days that "What is the ultimate goal of life?" They will say, "Oh, there is no particular end (?). Let us live very happily, and after death everything is finished." I have consulted many men, big, big professors, Indian and foreign. They have no idea of the first education in the Bhagavad-gita: tatha dehantara-praptir dhiras tatra na muhyati [Bg. 2.13]. There is change of body. There is already change of body. I was a child, I was a boy, I was a young man. Now the body is changedI have got this wretched body, old man's body. So all these bodies... That is simple, logical. Krsna says in the beginningthat is the first lesson of Bhagavad-gita-that,
dehino 'smin yatha dehe
kaumaram yauvanam jara tatha dehantara-praptir dhiras tatra na muhyati [Bg. 2.13] Dehinah means the proprietor of the body. But every one of us, thinking "I am this body." They have no first lesson of Bhagavad-gita. First lesson only, ABCD, that "You are not this body." This is the first lesson. When Arjuna was talking in bodily relationship, so, and he accepted Krsna as guru... Sisyas te 'ham sadhi mam prapannam [Bg. 2.7]. "There is perplexity. I cannot understand, Krsna." Krsna was his friend, but he accepted Him guru. Accepting guru means if you accept somebody guru, then whatever he will say, you have to accept. Sisya. Sisya means one who is ruled. So if you voluntarily accept somebody, that "I shall be ruled by you," that is guru. Not that "I shall rule over you by giving some money." Then it is not accepting guru. Guru means in all circumstances. Guror hitam. Brahmacari guru-kule vasan danto guror hitam [SB 7.12.1]. Therefore the first training is to live in gurukula, to learn how to respect guru, how to abide by the orders of guru. So Krsna is guru. So Arjuna accepted Krsna as guru. Sisyas te 'ham [Bg. 2.7]. "I am Your now disciple. Now give, teach me." Then Bhagavad-gita was begun. Not before that.
So teaching should not begin unless one accepts the teacher as the ultimate guru. So Krsna is teaching the same thing as Caitanya Mahaprabhu will teach Sanatana Gosvami. The same process: tad-vijnanartham sa gurum evabhigacchet [MU 1.2.12]. So the teacher, Krsna, first of all chastised Arjuna. Asocyan anvasocas tvam prajna-vadams ca bhasase: [Bg. 2.11] "My dear Arjuna, you are talking like a very learned scholar, but you are engaged in such a thing which is not at all lamentable."
"One who is learned, pandita, he has no business to consider about this body." Now see, the whole world is concerned with this body, but this is condemned. Yasyatma-buddhih kunape tri-dhatuke. Anyone who is accepting this body, which is nothing but combination of tri-dhatu... Or you take the material elements: earth, water, air, fire. Or more explicitly: the skin, blood, bone, urine, stool. You'll find these things. But do you think such intelligent person is created, manufactured, by bone and blood and skin and urine and stool? It's common sense. It is something else, spirit soul. That they do not understand.
Sanatana Gosvami is also placing that gramya-vyavahare pandita, tai satya mani: "These fools and rascals call me panditaji, and I accept, 'Oh, I am pandita.' But actually my position, apanara hitahita kichui na jani: I do not know what I am and what is the goal of my life. I am thinking, 'I am this body, and the body is finished then everything is finished.' This is my knowledge." So just compare. This knowledge is going on all over the world, "I am this body." And anyone who is thinking that he's this body, he's no better than cats and dogs. The dog is also thinking like that, "I am this body." Yasyatma-buddhih kunape tri-dhatu... It is not my manufactured word. It is stated in the sastra. Yasyatma-buddhih kunape tri-dhatuke [SB 10.84.13]. This body is made of these elements. I can call earth, water, air, fire. Or you..., blood, bone, and so many things. So if the..., take this combination of blood, bone, muscles, and veins, and urine and stool is the life, then he..., you are no better than the cats and dogs. Sa eva go-kharah [SB 10.84.13]. Go-kharah. Go means cow, and kharah means ass. So the ass is also thinking like that, a cow is also thinking like that. If you are thinking like that, then you are... So one has to learn what he is.
Then Sanatana Gosvami said,
"My Lord, Caitanya Mahaprabhu, very kindly You went to my place and You have delivered me so that after Your visit I decided to resign from the government service, and I have come to You. So You have delivered me from the pitfalls of this materialistic way of life. Now tell me what is my duty." This is student. This is disciple. Approach a bona fide guru, a spiritual master, and abide by his orders and do accordingly. Then your life will be successful. And if you keep yourself in the darkness, that "I am very rich man. I am very learned man, but unfortunately, I do not know what I am," so what is the use? The Narottama dasa Thakura: vidya-kule hi karibe tara. So if you do not know yourself, then what your so-called education and high family, high nationality, will help you? Nature's law is different. Prakrteh kriyamanani gunaih karmani sarvasah [Bg. 3.27]. If you do not cultivate spiritual knowledge, if you remain like cats and dogs, then prakrti, nature, will give you the cats' and dogs' body next life. Suppose you become very big businessman and you have got nice, very big balance and so on, so on, but by your activities you remain like a dog mentality is, then you are going to get the body of a dog. Yam yam vapi smaran loke tyajaty ante kalevaram [Bg. 8.6]. The test is at the time of death. At the time of death, if my mentality is different, so according to that mentality I shall get the body. This is called transmigration of the soul. There is no teaching of this science throughout the whole world, and we are trying to educate people. Of course, it is very difficult to understand, but this is the science, that there is transmigration of the soul. And if we do not take care of this, that "What I am going to become next life?" if you simply waste your time simply on the matter of eating, sleeping, mating and defense, then we are wasting our time. This is the subject matter of Krsna consciousness.
Then he asked,
So this is the proposition to the spiritual master, that one must submit that "Actually, I do not know what I am. Am I this body or something else?" I am not this body, that I can understand, because I say, when somebody asks... Even a child, you ask, "My dear child, what is this?" he will say, "It is my finger." He'll never say, "I finger," what to speak of others. If every one of us, we say, "This is my hair, this is my nose," then where is "I"? He doesn't inquire "Where is I?" Then there will be analysis of the body, where is that "I"? Everyone knows "my," but who knows "I"? That is education. That is being submitted by Sanatana Gosvami. Ke ami kene amaya jare tapa-traya. So tapa-traya means three kinds of miserable condition: adhyatmika, adhibhautika, adhidaivika. Adhyatmika means pertaining to the body and mind. Sometimes we are feeling some ailments in the body-mind is not in good order. This is called adhyatmika. And adhibhautika. Adhibhautika means miseries inflicted by other living entities. Just like there are mosquitos, there are flies, there are birds, there are other animals, or other enemies in the human society: my friend has become enemy, so he's trying to give me some displeasure. So this kind of This is called adhibhautika. Adhyatmika. Even nobody gives me any distress, my body will give me distress. If I cannot sit comfortably, if there is some pinching, I am feeling pain. So these things are going on, adhyatmika, adhibhautika, adhidaivika. And other miseries inflicted by providence. Just like there is no rain, excessive heat, excessive cold, famine, pestilence, earthquake. We have no control over. These are adhidaivika. So we are suffering. Although we may foolishly say If somebody asks his friend, "How are you?'' he says, "Oh, yes, everything is all right.'' Where is "Everything is all right"? You are suffering and This is called maya. He's suffering, but he will say, "Everything is all right.'' A man is dying on the deathbed, and his friend comes, "How you are feeling?'' "Yes, I am all right.'' (laughter) Now he's going to die, and he says, "I am all right.'' So this is called maya. They're suffering, but they are accepting, "I am all right.'' Full of anxieties always: "What will happen next?''
So this is the position. So Sanatana Gosvami is placing this plain fact, that ke ami kene amaya jare tapa... "I do not want to suffer. So there is suffering." That's a fact. Iha nahi jani kemane. "So how I can get out of this suffering, kindly give me lesson." And this is human life. Go to a bona fide guru, try to understand the problems of life, what is the aim of life, how actually we can become happy. This is called brahma-jijnasa. The Vedanta-sutra philosophy, therefore, the first instruction is athato brahma jijnasa. Kena Upanisad. Why? And that is human life. If you remain silent, never ask "Why I am suffering?" then you are in the category of cats and dog. And when this inquiry begins, athato brahma jijnasa, then your human life begins. Otherwise you remain in the category of cats and dog. If you are satisfied with all miserable condition of life... In this country, the Western country, they present television, simply presenting problems. That's all. You have got experience. And they are making plans how to solve these problems. This is going on. Whole day and night, and twenty-four hours. But actually, we are in a place with problems only. And intelligent man must inquire how to solve these problems. But they are inquiring, some of them, but not in the right channel. That should be in the... Just like Arjuna had problems, whether to fight or not to fight. So he approached Krsna. Krsna, sisyas te 'ham sadhi mam prapannam: [Bg. 2.7] "Krsna, I know that the problems, You can make solution.'' Arjuna knew that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. "Although He's acting as my friend...'' But he knew what Krsna is, and therefore he asked. So we are in face of so many problems. Why not approach Krsna? What is wrong there? And take Krsna's instruction and be happy. That is Krsna consciousness movement. We are opening centers everywhere. Take advantage of this movement and be happy.
Thank you very much.
Devotees: Jaya Srila Prabhupada.
Gurukrpa: Questions, Srila Prabhupada? Anybody who would like to address some question to His Divine Grace, please raise your hand and stand up, any questions. (pause)
Prabhupada: Everything is solved? (laughter)
Guest: Is it possible to see Krsna right now?
Prabhupada: Why don't you see Him in your back?
Guest: But can't I just see Him?
Prabhupada: Well, you have no eyes to see.
Guest: Can I see Him within?
Prabhupada: Yes.
Guest: Why? Why is it not so easy? Why can't each one of us...?
Prabhupada: You have to become qualified.
Guest: Why do I have to become qualified? Why?
Prabhupada: Yes. Suppose if there is a big man before you in some big meeting, can you talk with him?
Guest: Why...
Prabhupada: No, no. First of all answer this. Suppose there is a big meeting going on, and some big man is present. Suppose the President is there. Can you talk with him? Why? Why you cannot talk? For talking we think you require some qualification. It is not that He's so cheap that you talk with Krsna immediately.
atah sri-krsna-namad
na bhaved grahyam indriyaih sevonmukhe hi jihvadau svayam eva sphuraty adah [Cc. Madhya 17.136] So if you accept Krsna as the Supreme Lord, then you have to qualify yourself to talk with Him.
Guest: By His grace, Krsna will show Himself to you.
Prabhupada: Yes. If you read Krsna book and if you believe, then you see Krsna. He's not different from the book.
Guest: But we could read words till the cows come home. What good is that going to do?
Devotee: You have to accept what you read. You can't read with an argumentative attitude, or you can't ask questions in an argumentative attitude. You'll never learn.
Guest: I can only accept what I experience.
Prabhupada: What is your experience?
Guest: My experience is that I have seen Krsna with (sic) me own eyes.
Prabhupada: You have seen?
Guest: Yes.
Prabhupada: That's very nice. (devotees laugh)
Guest: It hasn't been hard.
Prabhupada: That's nice.
Guest: I haven't had to read any words.
Prabhupada: Oh, then you are perfect.
Devotee: Are there any other questions please?
Prabhupada: Sit down. You are perfect. (laughter)
Guest: We are all perfect.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Guest: I must speak.
Prabhupada: You have already spoken. Don't take the whole time. Let others question.
Girl: How can we stop speculating?
Prabhupada: Stop speculation? Don't manufacture ideas. You take what Krsna says. Then it will automatically stop. Speculation, the question of speculation comes when you do not accept what Krsna says. If you accept Krsna, what Krsna says, then there is no scope of speculation. That is our movement, that "Accept Krsna's teachings as it is. Don't speculate; then it is lost." This is our movement. Krsna says that aham sarvasya prabhavo mattah sarvam pravartate [Bg. 10.8]: "I am the origin of everything. Everything emanates from Me." If you accept, then it is all right. And if you speculate, you can do that, but our movement is to accept Krsna. Brahma means, janmady asya yatah [SB 1.1.1], the origin of everything. Here is the person. He says, aham sarvasya prabhavo mattah sarvam pravartate [Bg. 10.8]. Accept it. Very simple thing. You are searching after who is the origin of everything, and Krsna says, "I am the origin of everything." So if you accept, your question is solved. If you don't accept, go on speculating. There is no difficulty. Difficulty is when you do not accept Krsna's instruction. Then difficulty is. Otherwise, there is no difficulty. And why people do not accept? That is also explained in the Bhagavad-gita. Bahunam janmanam ante jnanavan mam prapadyate [Bg. 7.19]. After many, many births speculation, when one actually comes to the platform of knowledge, bahunam janmanam ante jnanavan mam prapadyate. So we don't find many such jnanavan. Vasudevah sarvam iti sa mahatma [Bg. 7.19]. One who's accepted Vasudeva, Krsna, as everything, that kind of mahatma is very, very rare to be found. It is not very ordinary thing. So anyone who's accepted Krsna as everything, he is the greatest mahatma. Most fortunate. And we can practically see in these modern countries, everyone four or five years or at most ten years, who never heard what is Krsna. Now thousand, they are devotees of Krsna, because they have accepted Krsna. Vasudevah sarvam iti sa mahatma [Bg. 7.19]. You accept blindly or knowingly, the result will be the same. If you touch fire knowingly or unknowingly, it will burn. This is the position. If you accept Krsna as the Supreme, aham sarvasya prabhavah [Bg. 10.8], the origin of everything, then the action will be there. Sa mahatma su-durlabhah. You'll become the greatest mahatma. And what is the sign of mahatma? Mahatmanas tu mam partha daivim prakrtim asritah bhajanty ananya-manaso [Bg. 9.13]. That is mahatma. He is under the control of daivi prakrti. As we are controlled by this material nature, a mahatma is controlled by the spiritual nature. And what is the sign? Bhajanty ananya-manaso, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare. This is the sign. Without any division. So these young boys, girls, they're always chanting. That you'll see: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna They are mahatmas. Sa mahatma su-durlabhah. Api cet suduracaro bhajate mam ananya-bhak sadhur eva sa mantavyah [Bg. 9.30]. These things are there. Very simple thing. You accept Krsna the Supreme, you follow instruction, you become a great mahatma. And if you don't accept,
If you don't accept asraddadhanah, then you'll never understand what is God, and you'll be rotating in the cycle of birth and death. Mrtyu-samsara-vartmani. You have to accept this path. There are two paths. Either you accept Krsna, go back to home, back to Godhead, or you accept the path of repetition of birth and death. Two alternatives in this human life. Now it is up to you to make your choice which way you want to go.
Guest: After his demise... [break]
Prabhupada: What is that?
Gurukrpa: After if one becomes purified, is it possible when he becomes transferred to the spiritual world that he can meet Rupa Gosvami and other great...
Prabhupada: Yes. Provided you are pure, purified, you can meet everyone. The condition is purified. Yesam anta-gatam papam. That is stated in the... That is purification. No more sinful life. Yesam anta-gatam papam jananam punya-karmanam. A person is always engaged in pious activities. Te dvandva-moha-nirmukta bhajante mam drdha-vratah [Bg. 7.28]. So, so long one is infected with sinful activities, he cannot understand, neither he can surrender to Krsna. That is also explained by Krsna:
This is the signs. And one who is free from all sinful activities, mahatma, mahatmanas tu mam partha daivim prakrtim asritah bhajanty ananya-manaso [Bg. 9.13]. This is the signs. If one is not accepting KrsnaKrsna means Godas the Supreme, he's placing himself as the Supreme. Just like so many rascals: "I am God." So such persons are called duskrtina, sinful. Mudha. If one is claiming "I am God," how much foolish he is just you can consider. He is under the clutches of maya, being kicked up by the material energy in so many ways, and he's thinking he is God. So they are duskrtino mudhah naradhamah. That has been explained. So this simple language is there in the Bhagavad-gita. There is no difficulty. If we actually accept, then our life is...
So we are trying our bit to understand Krsna and to make others to understand Krsna. And therefore we have published about eighty-two books, big books and small books. So we request that you either accept Krsna without any hesitation, or try to understand Krsna by reading all these literatures. And they are being well received all over the world by big, big professors and other exalted persons. So you can take advantage. Thank you very much.
Devotees: Jaya Srila Prabhupada.
Prabhupada: When they want to do?
Pusta Krsna: I was thinking that maybe they could do... It was a little bit too crowded for everyone to come up earlier. Perhaps we could have a kirtana and I could ask those devotees who brought some offering to bring them.
Prabhupada: As you say. (end)
