kumba melha

Prabhupada: Punya-bhūmi, pious land. Still, so fallen, whenever there is a question of spiritual meeting, thousands, lakhs, will come. You have seen Kumbha-mela?    (More...)

Bharata-bhumite manusya-janma haila yara . He is fifty percent prepared by birth.    (More...)

Prabhupada: Yes. And then, by culture, another fifty percent. But they have given up this culture. But the birthright, fifty percent is already also there. Prayaga, severest cold, eh, I took bath in the Ganges. It is simply cutting. But still, they are taking bath and smearing over the body the ashes and sit down, chanting Hare Krsna. No care, "Wherefrom food will come? Where...?" No. That's in India still. [break] ...it is also like this, cloudy?    (More...)
