# June 22 *Lectures from this day: 18 recordings* --- **[[spoken/690622le.nv|Lecture — June 22, 1969, New Vrindaban]]** --- **[[spoken/690622sb.nv|SB 1.5.18 — June 22, 1969, New Vrindavan]]** --- **[[spoken/700622in.la|Initiation of Mṛga-netrī Dāsī — June 22, 1970, Los Angeles]]** **Prabhupāda**: Lucy. So your spiritual name, Lakṣmī-priyā. Lakṣmī-priyā. Lord Caitanya's first wife's name was Lakṣmī-priyā. Yes. So always think of Lord Caitanya and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Your name is Mṛga-netrī. Mṛga-netrī. Mṛga-netrī means staring eyes like she-deer. When Kṛṣṇa and Rādhārāṇī used to pass through the forest of Vṛndāvana, these deers and stags, they were looking with staring eyes: "When Kṛṣṇa will pass this way?" These animals were also attracted to Kṛṣṇa. The birds, everyone, the flowers, the fruits, everyone engage... Vṛndāvana means everything engaged in Kṛṣṇa. So if all of you similarly engage yourself always in Kṛṣṇa's service, this is Vṛndāvana. Vṛndāvana is not that... As Kṛṣṇa is not located... He is located, but by His inconceivable potency He can simultaneously become located and distributed. *Akhilātma-bhūtaḥ. Goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ* [Bs. 5.37].* He is always in Goloka Vṛndāvana, but still, He is everywhere. That is God's omnipotency. We say that God is omnipotent, but we do not know what does it mean. The omnipotency means simultaneously to do or to act or to remain everywhere. That is Kṛṣṇa. --- **[[../../spoken/1971/710622rc.mos.md|Conversation with Prof. Kotovsky — June 22, 1971, Moscow]]** *[Lecture file not found]* --- **[[spoken/720622dt.la|Letter Dictation by Śyāmasundara — June 22, 1972, Los Angeles]]** Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated June 17th 1972, and I have noted the contents carefully. Generally, we may never expect to find any utopia so long we are in this material world, and sometimes unless we are very spiritually advanced we may also feel discomfort within the temples..., within the temple itself. That is to be expected in some cases. Therefore, you should not be very much worried. Misunderstandings and disagreements will come, even Krishna was sometimes quarreling with demons and even with the gopis like Radharani. So because quarreling is there in Krishna, so sometimes we are also quarreling, but we should not take this matter very seriously. After all, despite all of their faults, the Vaisnava devotees must be given always all respects and assistance in serving the Lord. If we do not work cooperatively in this way, the whole thing will deteriorate. As you increase numerically more and more your chanting of Hare Krishna mantra and increase also your daily reading of books, gradually you will come to the platform where there is no anxiety in spite of everything, and that is the potency of our devotional life. --- **[[spoken/720622sb.la|SB 2.3.24 — June 22, 1972, Los Angeles]]** **Pradyumna:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.

So we shall try to speak something on this subject. The sound is not... [to translator:] So describe the meaning of this verse from our German edition. So life after death is not very difficult to understand. We have got different grades of life. Just like the child is crying, that is also life. Then the child body vanquished, then gets another body, boy's body. Then this body also vanquishes. Another body, youthful body. This body also vanquishes. And then an old man's body like me, this will also vanquish. So the logic is as the other bodies vanquish and I get a next body, similarly, when this old body will be vanquished, I'll get another body. So here it is stated by the supreme authority, Kṛṣṇa, that as these bodies are changing in this duration of life... It is changing. The old body, the child's body, boy's body of me, they are no longer existing, but I am existing. I know that I had a small body like this. I had a boy's body, youthful body. I can remember. Therefore I am eternal. The bodies are temporary. --- **[[spoken/740622mw.ger|Morning Walk — June 22, 1974, Germany]]** **Haṁsadūta:** The people who were there, they all paid to come to that engagement. They did not come free. Five marks. About two dollars. **Professor Durckheim:** Yes. Lots of people of the country was in the football, was going in the football. **Haṁsadūta:** This week is the big world football matches. So everyone goes to see that. They either stay at home and watch television or they go to the fields. --- **[[spoken/740622r1.ger|Room Conversation with Benedictine Monk Pater Emmanuel — June 22, 1974, Germany]]** **Prabhupāda:** Recently we have published one booklet. It is written by one scientist, my student, *The Scientific Basis of Krishna Consciousness.* **Prabhupāda:** He is M.S. from Buffalo University, and he is Ph.D., chemistry, from California University. And he graduated himself from Gauhati University. Very learned scholar. **Pater Emmanuel:** Near Passau, say, I think five hundred kilometers from here, with train, yes. I come yesterday in the evening to Frankfurt. In the morning I came to here. --- **[[spoken/750622gc.la|Garden Conversation with Dr. Allen Gerson — June 22, 1975, Los Angeles]]** **Dr. Gerson:** ...beginning of a two-year study on the devotees, trying to demonstrate to the people in the material world the psychological benefits that come over the devotees as they become more and more involved in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. **Prabhupāda:** Yes. *Sa* *vai manaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravindayoḥ* [[sb/9/4/18|[SB. 9.4.18] ]]. First of all we have to change our mental activities into Kṛṣṇa activities. Then everything will be all right. The mind is engaged always, so the engagement should be with Kṛṣṇa. And if we read these books, our mind is always engaged in Kṛṣṇa. The same thing, our mind is engaged in material activities. The same mind is engaged in Kṛṣṇa's activities, then the whole thing changes. **Dr. Gerson:** I have yet to look into the material that I'm presenting to the devotees, but my experience with them is that as they are into the movement longer and longer and become deeper involved in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, just exactly that is happening, that their material nature seems to become much more relaxed and... --- **[[spoken/750622mw.la|Morning Walk — June 22, 1975, Los Angeles]]** **Jayatīrtha:** ...palace, fifty-five rooms. Each room is big size with a marble fireplace, and the floors are marble and there's a marble winding staircase and several big rooms. And it's got its own chapel. Very beautiful. And then the land is very beautiful, 250 acres, as far as you can see. **Jayatīrtha:** It was vacant, yes. Well, the old owner, he is keeping one room in the building for the time being. The man who sold it to us, he's a very... Sort of a pious gentleman. He's doing humanitarian work. He's a war hero. **Jayatīrtha:** Yes. In the last war.* [Prabhupāda laughs] So he is also helping us. He has a big factory next to the land, and he's letting us use it for the incense business. So he's doing some good service. --- **[[spoken/750622sb.la|SB 6.1.9 — June 22, 1975, Los Angeles]]** **Santoṣa:** *O*ṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* [devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, etc.] **Translation:** "I have actually seen that one who becomes a criminal by committing sinful acts is punished by the government's law, but although rebuked, he does the same thing again. One also hears from the scriptures spoken by learned scholars that committing sin throws one into hell in the next life. Nevertheless, although he has received full experience through seeing and hearing, which are the sources of practical knowledge, he is forced repeatedly to commit sins and again perform acts of atonement. What then is the value of such atonement?" **Prabhupāda:** > dṛṣṭa-śrutābhyaṁ yat pāpaṁ > jānann apy ātmano 'hitaṁ > karoti bhūyo vivaśaḥ > prāyaścittam atho katham > [[sb/6/1/9|[SB. 6.1.9] ]] --- **[[spoken/760622gc.nv|Garden Conversation — June 22, 1976, New Vrindavan]]** --- **[[spoken/760622mw.nv|Morning Walk — June 22, 1976, New Vrindavan]]** --- **[[spoken/760622sb.nv|SB 7.6.6 — June 22, 1976, New Vrindavan]]** --- **[[spoken/760622vi.nv|Prabhupāda Visits Palace and Garden — June 22, 1976, New Vrindavan]]** --- **[[spoken/770622r1.vrn|Conversation, “Rascal Editors,” and Morning Talk — June 22, 1977, Vṛndāvana]]** **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** [aside:] There's no index.
