# July 10 *Lectures from this day: 12 recordings* --- **[[spoken/680710sb.mon|SB 7.9.10 — July 10, 1968, Montreal]]** **Prabhupāda:** > viprād dvi-ṣaḍ-guṇa-yutād aravinda-nābha- > pādāravinda-vimukhāt śvapacaṁ variṣṭham > manye tad-arpita-mano-vacanehitārtha- > prāṇaṁ punāti sa-kulaṁ na tu bhūrimānaḥ > [[sb/7/9/10|[SB. 7.9.10] ]] So *vipra, vipra* means one who is fully conversant with Vedic knowledge. He is called *vipra.* For spiritual elevation there are gradual evolutionary stages. *Vipra* stage is just before becoming a qualified *brāhmaṇa.* That is called *vipra.* The first stage, by birth, everyone is *śūdra. Śūdra* means affected by the miseries of this world. He is *śūdra.* *Śocati.* The material condition is full of anxiety, so anyone who is full of anxiety, he is *śūdra.* This is the... So if you analyze the present society, that who is not anxiety, full of anxiety, oh, nobody will say that "I am not full of anxiety." "I have got so many anxieties." So that means he is a *śūdra.

My younger brother, his name was Kṛṣṇa. But we are calling him "Kristo." That is ordinary use. So this *Kristo* word came from India. What is your opinion? **Mr. Wadell:** I am not sure whether this was a title applied to him by his disciples or whether it was a title which he himself explained to them. And it makes a difference, whether he regarded himself as being anointed... If so, he would have said this was by the..., his father. **Mr. Wadell:** Yes, that is true. But the name is not always the same as the thing it describes or the person it describes. My name, I have said, is spelled in English in a certain way. It could be pronounced Waddle, Wawdle or..., you know what I mean. --- **[[spoken/740710sb.la|SB 1.16.20 — July 10, 1974, Los Angeles]]** **Prabhupāda:** [leads singing of *Jaya* *Rādhā-Mādhava*]* [*prema-dhvani*][break] [05:21]Read that verse. Where is book? One copy?Nitāi:* [leads chanting of verse, etc.] "I have lost my three legs and am now standing on one leg only. Are you lamenting for my state of existence? Or are you in great anxiety because henceforward the unlawful meat-eaters will exploit you? Or are you in sorry plight because the demigods are now bereft of their share of sacrificial offerings because no sacrifices are being performed at present? Or are you grieving for the living beings because of their sufferings due to famine and drought?" --- **[[spoken/750710in.chi|Lecture and Initiation — July 10, 1975, Chicago]]** **Prabhupāda:** > anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ kalau > samarpayitum unnataḥ ujjvala-rasāṁ sva-bhakti-śriyam > hariḥ puraṭa-sundara-dyuti-kadamba-sandīpitaḥ > sadā hṛdaya-kandare... [break] ... vah śacī-nandana > [Cc Ādi 1.4] This verse is given by Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī about Caitanya Mahāprabhu, *anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ kalau.* The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, has many expansion, or incarnation, but this expansion, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, is unique, because in other incarnation the duty is *paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām* [[bg/4/8|[Bg. 4.8] ]]. In Kṛṣṇa *avatāra,* Kṛṣṇa had to fight with the so many demons, but this incarnation, there is no question of fighting with the demons, but simply by mercy they were delivered, just like Jagāi-Mādhāi. Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura has sung, *vrajendra-nandana yei, śacī-suta haila sei:* [*Prārthanā* 4.3] "The same Personality of Godhead who was formerly the son of Nanda Mahārāja, Vrajendra-nandana, He has now appeared as the son of Mother Śacī." *Balarāma haila nitāi:* "And Balarāma, Devakī..., Rohiṇī-nandana, He has become Nityānanda." --- **[[spoken/750710mw.chi|Morning Walk — July 10, 1975, Chicago]]** **Jayatīrtha:** It says, "Forgive me if this story is not well-written. I am a woman. My brain weighs less than a man's, and I am not equal in intelligence." So she admits. "His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, the seventy-seven-year-old founder of the International Society for Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, said so Wednesday. The Society is dedicated to peace in the world through love of God and relinquishment of all things material. The Swami spoke seated cross-legged on an expensive looking cushion surrounded by fresh flowers, microphones and burning incense in a conference room he rented at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel. He is in town for a Kṛṣṇa parade at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, down State Street, in which he will ride on a flower-bedecked float. He then will fly to Philadelphia for more celebration and philosophical chats. He looked occasionally at his gold watch as he explained his life philosophy. His adoring disciples, five men, knelt at his side. 'The MAN,' " capital M-A-N, "he said, 'who loves God, controls his sense, is clean inside and out, is simple and tolerant and uses knowledge he has acquired in practical life...' " **Jayatīrtha:** No, "and tolerant." " 'Such MEN,' " capital M-E-N again, "he said, 'are first-class citizens and should be advisors to the world. Second- and third-class MEN have not found God and should be administrators and workers.' " Not exactly right. "He spoke thirty minutes and never mentioned women. I asked how women fit into his system. 'Women,' he said, 'is not equal in intelligence to man. Man's brain weighs sixty-four ounces; women's weighs thirty-six ounces. It is just a fact.' He continued, 'Women are meant to assist men. That is all.' He said women do not figure in his class system except as daughters or wives. 'An unmarried woman presumably is classless. Is that,' asked a male reporter..." **Prabhupāda:** [chuckles] That is fact. She is prostitute, that's all. If you classify, then she is prostitute. [laughter] That's all. There is no other way. --- **[[spoken/750710r1.chi|Room Conversation with City Counselor — July 10, 1975, Chicago]]** **City Councillor:** Thank you. No, I have the pleasure of having the temple located in the area which I represent on the city council, and I've found the temple to be a welcome addition to the city. I have no questions. There are formalities which have to be met in order for the temple to be repaired. And I'm sure that as soon as these formalities are met, then the work can proceed. But, er... **Śrī Govinda:** There's been some delay in the approval on the building due to different building violations, and we have to receive approval from the zoning board of appeals, then the city council. And it's a matter of time. But also there has been some opposition in the city council, and... **City Councillor:** Really nothing. The only problem is that there are certain rules and regulations that all citizens of Evanston must comply with. And that's all that has been asked of the temple. Originally, as I expressed, there were some... This property..., the temple is located in an area which is zoned for business. And there were some originally who wished to maintain that... --- **[[spoken/760710cc.ny|Cc.

For you, the threefold miseries certainly do not exist.' " **Prabhupāda:** > prabhu kahe—"kṛṣṇa-kṛpā tomāte pūrṇa haya > saba tattva jāna, tomāra nāhi tāpa-traya" > [[cc/madhya/20/104|[Cc. Madhya 20.104] ]] --- **[[spoken/760710mw.ny|Morning Walk — July 10, 1976, New York]]** **Hari-śauri:** Everyone is infected with this "Life comes from chemicals." That I was talking to the air hostess on the plane coming, and she said, "But life comes from chemicals." This is the way everybody's taught in the schools. They don't know any different and they don't think about it. They have no intelligence to understand. **Prabhupāda:** And as soon as we say that you take an egg and find out the chemicals, and put it into the incubator or under a chicken, get life, "No, wait millions of years." This bluffing. And this moon planet–going means Arizona. That is now disclosed. They take photographs in the Arizona. That's all. **Hari-śauri:** In Arizona. There's an article, and it showed a picture of Mars and then it compared this..., there's supposed to be this canyon four miles deep. So they said it compares to the Grand Canyon in Arizona, like that. So Prabhupāda said that by even mentioning Arizona they've revealed themselves. And he told one story about, there's a man, he heard a noise in his room, and he said, "Ah, who is that?" And immediately the reply came, "Oh, I'm not stealing." So even without asking, they've revealed themselves by saying Arizona, even mentioning Arizona. --- **[[spoken/760710r1.ny|Room Conversation — July 10, 1976, New York]]** **Prabhupāda:** So one thing is that when they are so much careful, that means the book is reacting. Otherwise why they are so careful that they may not come? What do you think? **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** Yes, sometimes they specifically say, "The others may come, but that one man, we don't want him here." [laughs] He gets out twice as many books as anybody else. **Prabhupāda:** So, many books or not many books, why they are so much afraid of distributing these books? --- **[[spoken/770710r1.vrn|Room Conversation with Mr. Myer — July 10, 1977, Vṛndāvana]]** **Prabhupāda:** So Kṛṣṇa has sent you to look after this Institution. And they are giving very good report that "Bhaktivedanta is..., is very big organization," and we have got land. Kindly try to improve it. So your wife is here? **Rāmakṛṣṇa** Things are... I think it will be matter of one month's time before we'll be able to centralize everything. Just now, at this moment, of course, we are operating slightly in different areas. But next month by this date we should be able to... **Rāmakṛṣṇa** ...know exactly what is happening, once we commonize the kitchen, the office, accounting chain and everything. At present we are slightly under capital, small space, but... *Gurukula* is coming out very well. In fact we met the contractor yesterday. So we're hoping that by next month this time the whole thing should be shifted and so many more guestrooms will be released for people coming here for the festival. Possibilities are very good. --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/1968/680710_brahmananda.md|Letter to Brahmananda, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1968/680710_hayagriva.md|Letter to Hayagriva, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1969/690710_arundhati.md|Letter to Arundhati, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690710_giriraja.md|Letter to Giriraja, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690710_james_doody.md|Letter to James Doody, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690710_laksmimoni.md|Letter to Laksmimoni, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1970/700710_jayapataka.md|Letter to Jayapataka, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1971/710710_urukrama.md|Letter to Urukrama, 1971]] - [[../../letters/1973/730710_karandhara.md|Letter to Karandhara, 1973]] - [[../../letters/1975/750710_bhavananda.md|Letter to Bhavananda, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1976/760710_manager_central_bank_of_india.md|Letter to Manager Central Bank Of India, 1976]]
