# January 10 *Lectures from this day: 10 recordings* --- **[[spoken/670110cc.ny|Cc. Madhya 22.14-20 — January 10, 1967, New York]]** **Prabhupāda:** > kāma-krodhera dāsa hañā tāra lāthi khāya > bhramite bhramite yadi sādhu-vaidya pāya > [[cc/madhya/22/14|[Cc. Madhya 22.14] ]] So we, the conditioned soul, is just like being kicked up by the material energy from this way to that way. That is our position. And the kicking is by lust and anger. *Icchā-dveṣa-samutthena sarge yānti paran-tapa* [[bg/7/27|[Bg. 7.27] ]]. We have got two things here in the conditioned life. We desire something, and if the desire is not fulfilled, then we become angry. So in this way we are traveling, or, I mean to say, transmigrating from one body to another. Now this can be stopped. This process can be stopped. How? *Bhramite bhramite yadi sādhu-vaidya pāya.* In this way we are being kicked up by *māyā.* But if by chance we get the shelter of a good physician... Good physician means a bona fide spiritual master. Then, by his advice, just like a patient is cured by following the instruction of a bona fide physician, similarly, this disease of being kicked up from one body to another, this could be stopped by the instruction of a bona fide *sādhu,* saintly person, or spiritual master or *śāstra,* scripture. --- **[[spoken/680110sb.la|SB 1.5.2 — January 10, 1968, Los Angeles]]** **Prabhupāda:** > pārāśarya mahā-bhāga > bhavataḥ kaccid ātmanā > parituṣyati śārīra > ātmā mānasa eva vā > [[sb/1/5/2|[SB. 1.5.2] ]] I am just quoting Sanskrit *mantras* before you. You may not understand the language, but the vibration of the sound, the Sanskrit *mantra,* hymns, it has got special value. *Mantra,* sound vibration. *Śabdād anāvṛttiḥ* [*Vedānta-sūtra].* Now, the whole material world is produced from sound. That is scientific fact. Scientists are researching the importance of sound, physical science. Sound, light, and transmission of sound and light, there are so many things, electronics. So this sound vibration, this is material sound. They have got so much wonderful power. And just try to understand what is the power of the spiritual sound. --- **[[spoken/690110in.la|Initiations — January 10, 1969, Los Angeles]]** **Prabhupāda:** > nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale > śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine **Prabhupāda:** Huh? Ṛṣabhadeva, yes. Ṛṣabhadeva is the..., was a emperor of the world, and He was incarnation of Kṛṣṇa. So Ṛṣabhadeva dāsa. You are not Ṛṣabhadeva, but you are servant of Ṛṣabhadeva. Always remember it. When we give some spiritual name, that is Kṛṣṇa's name, and we are servant, Ṛṣabhadeva dāsa. So your name is Ṛṣabhadeva dāsa, and you will get all information from Tamāla, the ten kinds of offenses. You know our regulative principles? **Prabhupāda:** That's all right. So you'll remember it. All right, take it. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and be happy. --- **[[spoken/690110pu.la|Purport to Gaura Pahū — January 10, 1969, Los Angeles]]** *Gaura pahū nā bhajiyā goinu, prema-rathana-dhana helāya hārāiṅu.* This is another song by Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura. He's saying that "I have invited my spiritual death by not worshiping Lord Caitanya." *Gaura pahū nā bhajiyā goinu. Gaura pahū* means Lord Caitanya, and *nā bhajiyā,* "without worshiping." *Goinu,* "I have invited spiritual death." And *adhame yatane kari dhanu tainu:* "Why I have invited the spiritual death? Because I am engaged in something which is useless, and I have rejected the real purpose of my life." *Adhama* means valueless things, and *dhana* means valuables. So actually, every one of us, neglecting our spiritual emanicipation, we are engaged in material sense gratification, and therefore we are losing the opportunity of this human form of body to elevate myself on the spiritual platform. This human body is especially given to the conditioned soul to take a chance for spiritual emancipation. So anyone who does not care for spiritual emancipation, he is inviting spiritual death. Spiritual death means to forget oneself that he's spirit. That is spiritual death. So in the animal life it is fully forgetfulness. They cannot be reminded at any circumstances that they are not this body, they are different from this body. It is only in this human form of body, human form of life, one can understand that he is not this body, he's spirit soul. So by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, one can easily understand this fact, and by worshiping Lord Caitanya, following His principles and ways, one can chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and very easily come to the platform of spiritual understanding. But Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says on our behalf that we are neglecting this; therefore we are inviting spiritual death. --- **[[spoken/710110sb.cal|SB 6.2.5-8 — January 10, 1971, Calcutta]]** **Devotee:** [introduction to recording] Morning lecture, 10th of January, 1971, *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.* **Prabhupāda:** > ...śira ādhāya > lokaḥ svapiti nirvṛtaḥ > svayaṁ dharmam adharmaṁ vā > na hi veda yathā paśuḥ --- **[[spoken/730110nd.bom|The Nectar of Devotion — January 10, 1973, Bombay]]** **Pradyumna:** "...is divided into four parts, just as the ocean is sometimes divided into four parts, and there are different sections within each of these four divisions. Originally, in *Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu,* the ocean is divided like the watery ocean, to east, west, north and south, while the subsections within these different divisions are called waves. As in the ocean there are always different waves, either on the eastern side, the western side, the northern side or the southern side, so similarly, *Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu...*" **Prabhupāda:** That *Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu,* the Sanskrit word... We have short-cut the translation, *Nectar of Devotion,* but the Rūpa Gosvāmī's purpose is to present the ocean of *bhakti-rasa. Rasa* means mellow, the juice. It is just like ocean. This ocean has limitation, but that is unlimited. *Ānandāmbudhi-vardhanam* [[cc/antya/20/12|[Cc. Antya 20.12] ]]. Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, "This ocean is increasing." Now, this material ocean, it has got limit. It cannot increase unlimitedly. That is not possible. Otherwise, how you could build these houses on the beach? No. It is ordered not to come forward beyond this line. But the spiritual bliss, that ocean is increasing. *Ānandāmbudhi-vardhanam.* --- **[[spoken/740110in.la|Initiations — January 10, 1974, Los Angeles]]** **Prabhupāda:** **There is all neck beads, everyone? You knows the rules and regulation? [break] Dhanurdharī. [aside:] Not left. Yes. Dhanurdharī. Dhanurdharī is Lord Rāmacandra's name. [pause] **Prabhupāda:** **Gambhīra. You know the rules and regulation? Here, take. Your spiritual name, Gambhīra dāsa, "very grave." That is Kṛṣṇa. **Prabhupāda:** **He is not very straight, Kṛṣṇa. People are crooked, so He is the most crooked. [break] --- **[[spoken/740110mw.la|Morning Walk — January 10, 1974, Los Angeles]]** **Satsvarūpa:** We always say that you water..., the best way to water the tree is from the root, but he says that the way that nature actually waters is from the top. **Prabhupāda:** [laughs] Then you come to somebody. And that is foolishness. Then nature is not ultimate. Kṛṣṇa is the ultimate. Because you cannot see Kṛṣṇa, therefore you say "nature." **Svarūpa Dāmodara:** "Nature is under My control," Kṛṣṇa says. Kṛṣṇa says, "Nature is under My control." --- **[[spoken/740110sb.la|SB 1.16.13-15 — January 10, 1974, Los Angeles]]** **Translation:** "Wherever the king visited, he continuously heard the glories of his great forefathers, who were all devotees of the Lord, and also of the glorious acts of Lord Kṛṣṇa. He also heard how he himself had been protected by the Lord from the powerful heat of the weapon of Aśvatthāmā. People also mentioned the great affection between the descendants of Vṛṣṇi and Pṛthā due to the latter's great devotion to Lord Keśava. The King, being very pleased with the singers of such glories, opened his eyes in great satisfaction. Out of magnanimity he was pleased to award them very valuable necklaces and clothing." --- **[[spoken/770110r1.bom|Room Conversation — January 10, 1977, Bombay]]** **Prabhupāda:** ...at a time. Simply the sense must be there. *Jñānavan. Bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyante* [[bg/7/19|[Bg. 7.19] ]]. To surrender to Kṛṣṇa is not easy, but if one is *jñānavān,* he can do it. So make your country *jñānavān,* not these rascals, unnecessarily wasting time by opposing us. They are rascals. So you have to turn these rascals into sense. Then it will take. Give them *prasādam;* let them chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Time will come, ours. Do it. I'll die, but you shall remain. You are all young men. [break] **Gopāla Kṛṣṇa:** After meeting with Mr. Nārāyaṇa tomorrow I feel that what I... What we first asked him for was some free advertisement, free advertising space that sometimes he gets. And he says he'll have to write to Madras, to the head office. **Gopāla Kṛṣṇa:** No, so if they just tell me that will take a week for them to get the answer, then should I wait for a week before starting the advertising campaign? --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/1969/690110_hansadutta.md|Letter to Hansadutta, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690110_mrs._levine.md|Letter to Mrs. Levine, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1970/700110_bhagavan.md|Letter to Bhagavan, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700110_ksirodakasayi.md|Letter to Ksirodakasayi, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1971/710110_citsukhananda.md|Letter to Citsukhananda, 1971]] - [[../../letters/1971/710110_damodara.md|Letter to Damodara, 1971]] - [[../../letters/1972/720110_aniruddha.md|Letter to Aniruddha, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720110_hansadutta.md|Letter to Hansadutta, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720110_hayagriva.md|Letter to Hayagriva, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720110_krsna_dasa.md|Letter to Krsna Dasa, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720110_kulasekhara.md|Letter to Kulasekhara, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720110_makhanlal.md|Letter to Makhanlal, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720110_smaranananda_samsara-mocana_bhubhrta_pavana_devadeva_daivata_parayana.md|Letter to Smaranananda Samsara-Mocana Bhubhrta Pavana Devadeva Daivata Parayana, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720110_sri_govinda.md|Letter to Sri Govinda, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1975/750110_asita.md|Letter to Asita, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750110_jayapataka.md|Letter to Jayapataka, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750110_mr._ram_patel.md|Letter to Mr. Ram Patel, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750110_patita_uddharana.md|Letter to Patita Uddharana, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750110_r.m._patel.md|Letter to R.M.
