# May 29 *Lectures from this day: 7 recordings* --- **[[spoken/720529sb.la|SB 2.3.11-12 — May 29, 1972, Los Angeles]]** **Pradyumna:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* [leads chanting of verse] [**Prabhupāda and **devotees repeat] --- **[[spoken/740529mw.rom|Morning Walk — May 29, 1974, Rome]]** **Prabhupāda:** ...advancement is different from others. There are three stages: bodily, mental, intellectual, and above that, spiritual. So we are propagating spiritual advance. Therefore those who are on the bodily platform, mental platform or intellectual platform, they cannot understand our process. *Na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇuṁ durāśayā ye bahir-artha-māninaḥ* [[sb/7/5/31|[SB. 7.5.31] ]]. *Bahiḥ* means external. Those who are captivated by the external feature, they cannot understand what we mean by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The external feature, those who are on the bodily platform, they think this material advancement—big, big house, big, big road... This is also required, but this is not all. But they do not know that beyond this, there is other things which is really essential for the human form of... They are captivated by this, external, *bahiḥ.* Just like I am, *ahaṁ brahmāsmi,* I am *Brahman,* spirit soul. And this body is *bahiḥ,* the mind is *bahiḥ,* the intelligence is *bahiḥ.* That they cannot understand. This water is supplying, what is this? **Dhanañjaya:** This is coming from the municipal supply. It is not natural. It's not natural spring water or stream water. It's artificially pumped. --- **[[spoken/750529mw.hon|Morning Walk on Waikiki Beach — May 29, 1975, Honolulu]]** **Śrutakīrti:[introducing recording] **The following morning walk conversation takes place at Waikiki Beach, Hawaii, on May 29th, 1975. [break] **Prabhupāda:** When it is said that all these are created by God, they become very angry, eh? Is it not? **Prabhupāda:** Invariably. The scientists, as soon as somebody says, "This is all created by God," they become very angry, eh? --- **[[spoken/760529mw.hon|Morning Walk — May 29, 1976, Honolulu]]** **Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa:** There's no evidence, because you've explained many times that an orange always comes from an orange tree, a banana always comes from a banana tree, man always comes from man, and monkey always comes from monkey. We find that actually things are not happening by chance. That they're very much controlled. **Prabhupāda:** There is. Nobody can deny it. Only this tenth-class man will deny it. Even third-class man, fourth class, he will not deny. But what is that intelligence, one should make it a research. Intelligence there is, no doubt about it. **Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa:** There's another theory: that God created the universe, and then things are just happening haphazardly. There's no actual design or ultimate plan of creation. Simply He created, and things were set in motion. --- **[[spoken/760529sb.hon|SB 6.1.30 — May 29, 1976, Honolulu]]** **Pradyumna:Translation:** "My dear King, the order carriers of Viṣṇu, the Viṣṇūdutas, immediately arrived when they heard the holy name of their master from the mouth of the dying Ajāmila, who had certainly chanted without offense because he had chanted in complete anxiety." **Prabhupāda:** > niśamya mriyamāṇasya > mukhato hari-kīrtanam > bhartur nāma mahārāja > pārṣadāḥ sahasāpatan > [[sb/6/1/30|[SB. 6.1.30] ]] So this is the benefit of chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa *mahā-mantra.* Both the order carriers of Yamarāja and order carriers of Lord Viṣṇu, they're everywhere, just like the police is everywhere. But as soon as you call them, from the police station they immediately inform the patrol police on the car, and immediately he comes. If there is such material arrangement within the government, how much nice arrangement is there in the supreme government? --- **[[spoken/770529r1.vrn|Morning Conversation — May 29, 1977, Vṛndāvana]]** Indian (2): [Transl. Nature cure treatment is totally practical. It is done very practicaly. I mean to say with soft hand, soft hand and with lot of experience it has to be done. I cannot do anything that will cause you suffering.] Indian (2): [Transl. I have stopped doing it long time ago. That's the only thing. But I still remember something.] Indian (2): [Transl. Even now there are people who are still doing this natural treatment with practical hand and hatha-yoga. There are many nurses and compounders who still do this treatment with their own hands throughout the year. In Calcutta there are many Nature cure Hospitals where patients are treated throughout the year. They have in Calcutta and in different places. In Jasidih there is also one.] --- **[[spoken/770529r2.vrn|Conversations with Kīrtana Groups and Sannyāsa Initiation — May 29, 1977, Vṛndāvana]]** **Prabhupāda:** *Janme janme prabhu sei.* Spiritual master who has opened the eyes, he is, spiritual master, the life of the disciple. Do not... He cannot be like that. *Janme janme prabhu sei.* Life of the disciple. *Cakhu-dān dilo jei, janme janme prabhu sei.* Nobody can repay the indebtedness of spiritual master, even by getting a duration of life like Brahmā. There is a verse in *Śrīmad... Brahma... Brahma-saṁ... Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Ādi-līlā,* there is a verse. *Sei... Sei guru.* All right. **Prabhupāda:** ...meat-eating, gambling and intoxication. Find out throughout the whole world if they can give up these bad habits by adopting any other means. But one who has taken to the *bhakti-yoga,* they have given up very easily. Is it not? **Prabhupāda:** *Anartha upaśamaṁ sākṣāt* [[sb/1/7/6|[SB. 1.7.6] ]]. Nobody dies without illicit sex or intoxication. *Anartha,* unnecessarily they are habituated. There is no need, but by bad association you have practiced this, habituated, cannot be given up. LSD... Government spends so much, millions of dollars, that "These hippies may give up." Not successful. See practically. And as soon as they come to our camp, they give up. Is it not? --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/1969/690529_upendra.md|Letter to Upendra, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1971/710529_gaura_hari.md|Letter to Gaura Hari, 1971]] - [[../../letters/1971/710529_syamasundara.md|Letter to Syamasundara, 1971]] - [[../../letters/1976/760529_amogha.md|Letter to Amogha, 1976]] - [[../../letters/1976/760529_balavanta.md|Letter to Balavanta, 1976]] - [[../../letters/1976/760529_bhargava.md|Letter to Bhargava, 1976]] - [[../../letters/1976/760529_dharmadhyaksa.md|Letter to Dharmadhyaksa, 1976]] - [[../../letters/1976/760529_haihaya.md|Letter to Haihaya, 1976]] - [[../../letters/1976/760529_hansadutta.md|Letter to Hansadutta, 1976]] - [[../../letters/1976/760529_jagannatha-suta.md|Letter to Jagannatha-Suta, 1976]]
