# June 7 *Lectures from this day: 7 recordings* --- **[[../../spoken/1969/690607le.nv.md|Lecture — June 7, 1969, New Vrindaban]]** *[Lecture file not found]* --- **[[spoken/720607le.la|Lecture [partially recorded] — June 7, 1972, Los Angeles]]** **Prabhupāda:** This is the secret. People are trying to bring in peace and prosperity in the world by so many activities—philanthropism, altruism, nationalism, socialism. And so-called religion also, they are trying to bring in. The whole idea is the human society should remain in peace and prosperity. And the vivid example is the United Nation in your country. America invited all nations that "Let us form a community of United Nation," but the America herself is fighting. You see? Because the idea was there to unite, but they do not know the basic principle, how to unite. That is the defect. There is a church in the United Nation, and we tried to get a room there for making our propaganda. The church unity denied to give us. So their crippled mind is not expanded. *Sa mahātmā... Mahātmā* means broad-minded. *Su-durlabhaḥ.* So *mahātmā,* unless one becomes nonenvious, *mahātmā,* there is no question of so-called unity or fraternity. These are all false propaganda. It is not possible. But they will stick to that proposition, that "We have got this..." For the last twenty years... Why twenty years? More than twenty years. When this United Nation was started? **Prabhupāda:** Yes. Sometime 1948, '47. Hmm? Or earlier. Anyway, it is more than twenty-five, twenty..., twenty years. But what they have done? The people are still fighting. So here is the..., that we have to dovetail our service; we have to make Kṛṣṇa center. The Communists also, they tried to make by making the state as center. So that is also failure. Or the United Nation also. I do not know what is their center. Their center is politics, that's all. --- **[[spoken/740607bg.gen|Bg 8.1 — June 7, 1974, Geneva]]** *arjuna uvāca kiṁ tad-brahma kim adhyātmaṁ kiṁ karma puruṣottama adhibhūtaṁ ca kiṁ proktam adhidaivaṁ kim ucyate* [[bg/8/1|[Bg. 8.1] ]] **Translation:** "Arjuna inquired: O my Lord, O Supreme Person, what is Brahman?

He's coming at ten o'clock, and then I'll show him around, so maybe by ten-thirty. **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** ...widespread, Śrīla Prabhupāda, very widespread. Now I'm afraid about it being in New York, because one of the leaders has been... I just found out that he's one of the leaders. He's been in New York for about three weeks on his way to London, and he's a *pūj...,* he has his own Deities, which he has on the altar, which means he's talking to our *pūjārīs.* I am..., I have to get back there as soon as possible to see. They have, like, a newsletter they send out all over the world. --- **[[spoken/760607sb.la|SB 6.1.41 — June 7, 1976, Los Angeles]]** **Translation:** "The supreme cause of all causes, Nārāyaṇa, is situated in His own abode in the spiritual world, but nevertheless He controls the entire cosmic manifestation according to the three modes of material nature—*sattva-guṇa, rajo-guṇa* and *tamo-guṇa.* In this way all living entities are awarded different qualities, different names, such as *brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya* and *vaiśya,* different duties according to the *varṇāśrama* institution, and different forms. Thus Nārāyaṇa is the cause of the entire cosmic manifestation." **Prabhupāda:** > yena sva-dhāmny amī bhāvā > rajaḥ-sattva-tamomayāḥ > guṇa-nāma-kriyā-rūpair > vibhāvyante yathā-tatham > [[sb/6/1/41|[SB. 6.1.41] ]] --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/1967/670607_boys_himavati.md|Letter to Boys Himavati, 1967]] - [[../../letters/1968/680607_gargamuni.md|Letter to Gargamuni, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1968/680607_gurudasa.md|Letter to Gurudasa, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1968/680607_syamasundara.md|Letter to Syamasundara, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1968/680607_yamuna.md|Letter to Yamuna, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1969/690607_jayagovinda.md|Letter to Jayagovinda, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690607_krsna_dasa.md|Letter to Krsna Dasa, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690607_mrs._davis.md|Letter to Mrs. Davis, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690607_sudama.md|Letter to Sudama, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690607_uttamasloka.md|Letter to Uttamasloka, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1970/700607_dr._r._n._vyasa.md|Letter to Dr. R.
