# May 7 *Lectures from this day: 6 recordings* --- **[[spoken/680507le.bos|Lecture: Nobody Wants to Die — May 7, 1968, Boston]]** --- **[[spoken/700507ip.la|Śrī Īśopaniṣad, Mantra 5 — May 7, 1970, Los Angeles]]** **Prabhupāda:** Thank you. [chuckles] So you like this? This chandelier? Hare Kṛṣṇa.*Jiv goura*[Bengali]. This is a song by Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura. He says that one who has dedicated his life for Lord Caitanya, he sees everything belongs to Lord Caitanya. Hare Kṛṣṇa. **Prabhupāda:**"The Supreme Lord walks and does not walk. He is far away, but He is very near as well. He is within everything, and again He is outside of everything." --- **[[spoken/730507sb.la|SB 1.8.45 — May 7, 1973, Los Angeles]]** **Pradyumna:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* [leads chanting of verse] [**Prabhupāda and **devotees repeat] *tām*—all those; *bāḍham*—accepted; *iti*—thus; *upāmantrya*—subsequently informed; *praviśya*—entering; *gajasāhvayam*—the palace of the name; *striyaḥ ca*—other ladies; *sva-puram*—own residence; *yāsyan*—while starting for; *premṇā*—in love; *rājñā*—by the king; *nivāritaḥ*—stopped. --- **[[spoken/750507mw.per|Morning Walk — May 7, 1975, Perth]]** [pause] The water is not very clean. [ducks quacking] [pause] We are afraid of water; they're enjoying. [pause] Here we have got gold, copper, somewhere in the mines, but in the sky there are millions of miles' land of copper, gold. **Amogha:** Śrīla Prabhupāda? When a spirit soul first falls from the spiritual sky into the material world, does he first go to the lowest of the 8,400,000 species of life, and then gradually come up, or can he fall to the middle or anywhere? **Śrutakīrti:** In a purport in the Fourth Canto you say that usually they take human form, because they are desiring to enjoy in that way. And then they begin falling down. --- **[[spoken/760507r1.hon|Room Conversation — May 7, 1976, Honolulu]]** For Russia, export from India will be favorable. So government paper we are printing seven, eight rupees price. Make that addition, all the books. Ask them to take paper from the government, huge quantity, and all these books should be published immediately, five thousand copies. **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** Last time when we were speaking, I was mentioning to you that in Russia they are particularly inclined towards an exchange program of books, where we give our books and they will give some useless books. **Prabhupāda:** But only some of the authorized books, just to take reference and to refute; otherwise, we haven't got to take lesson from anyone. --- **[[spoken/760507sb.hon|SB 6.1.6 — May 7, 1976, Honolulu]]** **Prabhupāda:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* [devotees repeat] *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,* Canto Six, Chapter One, verse number six. [leads devotees in chanting] *Adhunā—*"right now"; *mahā-bhāga—*"O the most fortunate." Parīkṣit Mahārāja is addressed as *mahā-bhāga. Mahā* means great, and *bhāga,* the same *bhaga,* from the word *bhaga, bhāga.* Bhagavān and *bhāgyavān, mahā-bhāga—*these terms are applicable to the very, very great fortunate, opulent. Actually Bhagavān, this word is applicable to Kṛṣṇa. Therefore in the *Bhagavad-gītā* you will find, whenever Kṛṣṇa is speaking, Vyāsadeva has written, *śrī bhagavān uvāca.* Real Bhagavān is Kṛṣṇa. *Kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam* [[sb/1/3/28|[SB. 1.3.28] ]]. --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/pre-1966/570507_sri_padampat_singhania.md|Letter to Sri Padampat Singhania, 1957]] - [[../../letters/1975/750507_bhakta_dasa.md|Letter to Bhakta Dasa, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750507_caitya-guru.md|Letter to Caitya-Guru, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750507_dr._channa_reddy.md|Letter to Dr. Channa Reddy, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750507_g.l._nanda.md|Letter to G.L.
