# February 6 *Lectures from this day: 7 recordings* --- **[[../../spoken/1967/670206cc.sf.md|Cc. Ādi 7.66-76 — February 6, 1967, San Francisco]]** *[Lecture file not found]* --- **[[spoken/720206r1.bom|Room Conversation [Hindi] — February 6, 1972, Bombay]]** **Prabhupāda:** They say why are you looking for God somewhere else? All these people who are loitering on the street and starving they are God *daridra-nārāyaṇa*. So, they won't believe the person who is actually God but they will believe this speculation, just see. *Na māṁ prapadyante* [[bg/7/15|[Bg. 7.15] ]] Kṛṣṇa, Supreme Lord says *kṛṣṇastu bhagavān svayam* [[sb/1/3/28|[SB. 1.3.28] ]] Kṛṣṇa is God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, such is the verdict of the scriptures. So? They don't believe the real God but who do they believe? The living entities *jivas* which are part and parcel of the Supreme Lord they consider them God. That is why specifically Kṛṣṇa says, *Kṛṣṇa uvāca na mām*, He says that everyone should surrender unto only His lotus feet, not others. Deviation from this order is the origin of all demonic tendency and the Lord says why don't they surrender *na māṁ prapadyante*? *Mudhāh* because they are *mudhās*, *mudhā* means foolish like an ass. They don't have any intelligence any man without intelligence is considered an ass, bereft of all intelligence. Why are they compared to asses? Because they work hard all day long but not for oneself but for others. For the washer-man the ass does great labor and carries clothes but not for itself but for the others. Therefore, the example of an ass is cited which is extremely foolish, that is why it is called an ass because it definitely renders great labor but there is nothing to be gained from it. So, *na* *māṁ prapadyante mūḍhāḥ* [[bg/7/15|[Bg. 7.15] ]] so why are they called asses, they may even be graduates from big colleges holding degrees of MA and PhD, so how can we call them asses? Because *duṣkṛtinah* they may be highly educated but all they their work is sinful. They are interested in nothing but cheating, such as the lawyers and who is considered the biggest lawyer? Who knows how to cheat the best? How to hide the law and spin it around to solve their purposes they are considered the best of all lawyers. --- **[[spoken/740206bg.vrn|Bg 3.9-14 — February 6, 1974, Vṛndāvana]]** **Pradyumna:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya*. *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya*. *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya*. [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] --- **[[spoken/740206r1.vrn|Room Conversation — February 6, 1974, Vṛndāvana]]** **Gurudāsa:** Um, I've just been talking with Saurabha about the Māyāpur plans to present at this conference in Vancouver, exposition.

But if, for example, in Māyāpur is a devotee free to, for example, enjoy the, all the scenery without... **Prabhupāda:** *Dhāma.* Therefore it is called *dhāma. Dhāma* means not material world. *Goloka-dhāma, Vṛndāvana-dhāma.* So *dhāma* is not material world. [break] ...visible with these eyes, similarly, *dhāma* also is not visible with these eyes. *Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti* [Bs. 5.38]. That is *dhāma. Premāñjana-cchurita.* [break] --- **[[spoken/770206sb.cal|SB 1.8.18 [Hindi] — February 6, 1977, Calcutta]]** --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/1969/690206_dr._chaudhuri.md|Letter to Dr. Chaudhuri, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1971/710206_bali-mardana.md|Letter to Bali-Mardana, 1971]] - [[../../letters/1973/730206_danavir.md|Letter to Danavir, 1973]] - [[../../letters/1974/740206_giriraja.md|Letter to Giriraja, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1975/750206_all_temple_presidents.md|Letter to All Temple Presidents, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750206_audolomi.md|Letter to Audolomi, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750206_brahmananda.md|Letter to Brahmananda, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750206_caru.md|Letter to Caru, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750206_radhavallabha.md|Letter to Radhavallabha, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750206_sri_govinda.md|Letter to Sri Govinda, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1976/760206_manager_central_bank_of_india.md|Letter to Manager Central Bank Of India, 1976]] - [[../../letters/1976/760206_ramesvara.md|Letter to Ramesvara, 1976]] - [[../../letters/1977/770206_parvati.md|Letter to Parvati, 1977]]
