So if we are chanting the name of God, what is your objection to accept the name of the Lord? **Haṁsadūta:** His point was actually that God had no name, otherwise He would be a person. But I think you missed that point. At one point he said if He had a name... **Prabhupāda:** No, no, no, I stressed that if God has no name, then why Christ said that "Hallowed be Thy name"? --- **[[spoken/750621mw.la|Morning Walk — June 21, 1975, Los Angeles]]** **Prabhupāda:** What does he mean? You are all here. Now I want to see that seventeen books are waiting in the... So when it will be finished? I want to know. **Prabhupāda:** ...fed up with so-called religion. Therefore they're angry. But when they find this is real, genuine, everyone will accept. [break] **Brahmānanda:** ...wants to come and see you. He likes your movement very much. He has written one review of one of your books. He also met you, I think, briefly. He is from Boston, Mr. Leo Pruden, Professor Leo Pruden. Now he lives here in Los Angeles. --- **[[spoken/750621sb.la|SB 6.1.8 — June 21, 1975, Los Angeles]]** **Santoṣa:** *O*ṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.** O**ṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.** O**ṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.*[devotees repeat] *[leads chanting of verse and synonyms]* **[break] [02:03]Prabhupāda:** > tasmāt puraivāśv iha pāpa-niṣkṛtau > yateta mṛtyor avipadyatātmanā > doṣasya dṛṣṭvā guru-lāghavaṁ yathā > bhiṣak cikitseta rujāṁ nidānavit > [[sb/6/1/8|[SB. 6.1.8] ]] --- **[[spoken/760621ar.nv|Arrival Speech — June 21, 1976, New Vrindavan]]** --- **[[spoken/760621cr.tor|Conversation in Airport and Car to New Vrindavan — June 21, 1976, Toronto, New Vrindavan]]** This is the *dharma,* and Kṛṣṇa comes personally to establish it. And He makes distinction in the Fourth Chapter, *dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya. Yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata, abhyutthānam adharmasya* [[bg/4/7|[Bg. 4.7] ]]. He distinguishes between *adharma* and *dharma.* And He's establishing at the end of Ninth Chapter that the *dharma* is to become His devotee, to think of Him, to worship Him and to offer all obeisances to Him. And that persons who reject this *dharma* or who have no information of this *dharma,* they have to revolve in the cycle of birth and death, not achieving Kṛṣṇa. **Prabhupāda:** The beginning is to understand this transmigration. But actually people do not understand. Cycle of birth and death... If one does not understand what is birth and death, what he'll understand of cycle of birth and death? Mostly people because they do not understand what is birth and what is death, they are mostly going on on the bodily concept of life. That is animal life. Ask anybody. Bodily concept. And everything is going on. We pass through Canada to USA. Why Canada? Why USA? This bodily concept. It is meant for the Canadians, it is meant for USA, Americans. Immigration, customs—the same mentality as a dog coming from other neighborhood. The other dogs, they all come together, "*Yow, yow!* Why you have come? Why you have come?" In civilized dress only. This is the position. What is the difference between the dog's mentality... When another dog comes to another neighborhood, these neighborhood dogs, you know that? All animals: "*Yow!* Why you have come?" So this department, "Why you have come here?" dogs barking, and this immigration, what is the difference? Is there any difference? [chuckles] This is our policy. Very difficult. [break] ...they will understand Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Their mentality is not better than the animals. --- **[[spoken/760621mw.tor|Morning Walk — June 21, 1976, Toronto]]** **Indian man:** Kṛṣṇa has made lot of things for human beings to enjoy—the trees and rivers and... [break] **Prabhupāda:** That is the Vedic version—*pūrṇam idam [*Īśopaniṣad,** Invocation], everything is complete. **Indian man:** It says in the *Bible* that animals were given to the mankind for protection and for service—you can take service from the animals. And they think the slaughtering of an animal is all right on that basis, that God gave the animals to the human beings. --- **[[spoken/760621sb.tor|SB 7.6.5 — June 21, 1976, Toronto]]** **Pradyumna:*Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [*Prabhupāda and devotees respond*] *[leads chanting, etc.] **Translation:** "Therefore, while in material existence [*bhavam āśritaḥ*], a person fully competent to distinguish wrong from right must endeavor to achieve the highest goal of life as long as the body is stout and strong and is not embarrassed by dwindling." --- **[[spoken/770621r1.vrn|Description of New York Temple and Conversation with Svarūpa Dāmodara — June 21, 1977, Vṛndāvana]]** **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** ...in winter months, even though we keep it to a minimum, the oil bill runs about eight thousand dollars a month. It's very costly. Because one time we tried to turn it off, and it was very dangerous. They warned us never to do that again, because if the pipe freezes, the whole thing will explode. Therefore we have to always keep some steam coming so that it never freezes. We can't turn it off for ten hours and then turn it on again. We were thinking we could do that. That we may do in each room, but down in the boiler room we must keep the boiler going. **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** Oh, yeah. We have... We hired a man. There was man working there for four years. They were paying six hundred dollars. So we kept him for the first year until... We had one man stay with him. We have one devotee, he's a plumber. He's very good man. And he learned from him everything about the boiler for one year. And then we let that man go, and we have our own man running it. And there has to be a man twenty-four hours a day, sitting with the boiler. **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** Yeah, we have to change. One man is expert. He knows how to run. The other men, they simply watch the gauges to see that... Because the gauges indicate if everything's okay. If anything ever goes wrong, then they call that man. He's a maintenance man. He's very good. --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/1968/680621_brahmananda.md|Letter to Brahmananda, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1968/680621_hansadutta.md|Letter to Hansadutta, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1969/690621_gopala_krsna.md|Letter to Gopala Krsna, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690621_gurudasa.md|Letter to Gurudasa, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690621_jayapataka.md|Letter to Jayapataka, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690621_krsna_dasa.md|Letter to Krsna Dasa, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690621_yamuna.md|Letter to Yamuna, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1970/700621_jayapataka.md|Letter to Jayapataka, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700621_pradyumna.md|Letter to Pradyumna, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700621_tamala_krsna.md|Letter to Tamala Krsna, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1971/710621_satsvarupa.md|Letter to Satsvarupa, 1971]] - [[../../letters/1972/720621_giriraja.md|Letter to Giriraja, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1973/730621_atreya_rsi.md|Letter to Atreya Rsi, 1973]] - [[../../letters/1973/730621_niranjan.md|Letter to Niranjan, 1973]] - [[../../letters/1975/750621_gopala_krsna.md|Letter to Gopala Krsna, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750621_gurukrpa.md|Letter to Gurukrpa, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750621_purnima.md|Letter to Purnima, 1975]]
