# June 25 *Lectures from this day: 9 recordings* --- **[[spoken/720625gc.la|Garden Conversation — June 25, 1972, Los Angeles]]** **Atreya Ṛṣi**: I have a question. Kaṁsa's attitude, he's a demon, and when a daughter is born, he first changes his mind. Throughout this story Kaṁsa changes his mind several times back and forth. Similarly, Vasudeva, when Kaṁsa is favorable towards him, and also Yaśodā, they both change and excuse their brother and brother-in-law. How is this similarity, the change of attitude? **Atreya Ṛṣi**: They excused Kaṁsa. [break] ...they forgave him when Kaṁsa decided not to kill the daughter. --- **[[spoken/720625sb.la|SB 2.4.2 — June 25, 1972, Los Angeles]]** **Devotees:** All glories to Śrī Guru and Gauranga.

Is it not? **Dr. Judah:** I think this is... Well, I would say they do not have..., they do not... I would make a distinction myself between knowing God and knowing about God. In other words, there is knowledge about God which one has in various books, but one does not know God unless one somehow experiences God. I feel that this is the one thing that the *bhakti* movement of Caitanya has done, in that it has allowed its devotees to experience Him, to know Him personally in a way that changes their lives. **Prabhupāda:** *Na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇum* [[sb/7/5/31|[SB. 7.5.31] ]]. These materialistic persons, they do not know what is Viṣṇu or they do not know that his ultimate goal of life is to know Viṣṇu, or God. This is human life. But that is missing. They do not care to know that the ultimate..., what is the ultimate goal of human life. This is the defect. Nobody cares to know, especially in this age. So that is the defeat of human civilization. They must know. This is the process, that... By evolution, they have come to nature's way, human form of life. Now they must know what is God. Otherwise it is defeat. --- **[[spoken/750625sb.la|SB 6.1.12 — June 25, 1975, Los Angeles]]** **Santoṣa:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* [Prabhup**ā**da and devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, synonyms, etc.] *nāśnataḥ pathyam evānnaṁ vyādhayo 'bhibhavanti hi evaṁ niyamakṛd rājan śanaiḥ kṣemāya kalpate* * [[sb/6/1/12|[SB. 6.1.12] ]] **Translation:** "My dear King, the pure, uncontaminated food prescribed by a physician is suitable for a diseased person. If the patient continues eating such food, the infection of disease cannot touch him, for although diseased, he gradually advances on the path toward cure. Similarly, if one follows the regulative principles of preliminary knowledge, he gradually progresses toward liberation from material contamination." --- **[[spoken/760625mw.nv|Morning Talk in Car [partially recorded] — June 25, 1976, New Vrindavan]]** --- **[[spoken/760625r1.nv|Room Conversation and Reading from SB 1.5.1-16 and 12th Canto — June 25, 1976, New Vrindavan]]** --- **[[spoken/760625sb.nv|SB 7.6.9 — June 25, 1976, New Vrindavan]]** --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/1967/670625_hayagriva.md|Letter to Hayagriva, 1967]] - [[../../letters/1970/700625_brahmananda.md|Letter to Brahmananda, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700625_radharamana_sharanji.md|Letter to Radharamana Sharanji, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700625_satsvarupa.md|Letter to Satsvarupa, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1971/710625_tamala_krsna.md|Letter to Tamala Krsna, 1971]] - [[../../letters/1972/720625_aksoja_1.md|Letter to Aksoja 1, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720625_haripuja.md|Letter to Haripuja, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720625_kirtanananda.md|Letter to Kirtanananda, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1973/730625_tamala_krsna.md|Letter to Tamala Krsna, 1973]] - [[../../letters/1974/740625_jagadisa.md|Letter to Jagadisa, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1974/740625_yadunandana.md|Letter to Yadunandana, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1976/760625_ramesvara.md|Letter to Ramesvara, 1976]]
