I am talking of *yoga* system. What is my movement, that we shall discuss later on. First of all the question was the *yoga.* You asked me that. *Yoga* means to control the mind and the senses. So if one is not able to control the mind and senses, he does not know what is the meaning of *yoga*. **Revatīnandana:** Do you understand the necessity of controlling the mind and the senses? Can you see why it is necessary? Why would you say it's... **Student (1):** Yes. Sort of. Not to the full extent. I can't see how it's necessary to a full extent, because I can't control the mind and the senses. --- **[[spoken/740715dp.la|Departure Address — July 15, 1974, Los Angeles]]** **Devotee:** [leading] ...**Śrīla Prabhupāda** *ki jaya!* His Divine Loving Grace **Śrīla Prabhupāda** *ki jaya!*Prabhupāda:* [leads *prema-dhvani* prayers] Thank you very much. [devotees offer obeisances] Thank you very much.* [break] So, you are engaged in the service of Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava. He's present here. And I am very glad that you are doing very nice. Keep the standard. This Deity worship and chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa *mahā-mantra...* Be always engaged in this business. It is a very important business. Kṛṣṇa says that *man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru, mām evaiṣyasi asaṁśayaḥ* [[bg/18/68|[Bg. 18.68] ]]. Our mission is to go back to home, back to Godhead. So it is not very difficult thing. Very easy. But we do not want it. That is the difficulty. Otherwise, the matter is very simple. Kṛṣṇa says four things, that "Always think of Me..." Now, here is Kṛṣṇa, Rādhārāṇī, Kṛṣṇa, standing before you. Don't think that this is idol. No. Kṛṣṇa is present before you in that form to show you favor that you can handle with Kṛṣṇa. You can dress Him. You can give Him for eating. You can... To give you facilities. But Kṛṣṇa is here, and Rādhārāṇī is here. So He says, personally, that *man-manā bhava mad-bhakto:* "Always think of Me." So you are seeing Kṛṣṇa, and the impression is within your mind. As soon as you will close your eyes, you will see Kṛṣṇa within your heart. Kṛṣṇa, Rādhārāṇī is here, and if you see constantly, naturally the impression will be within your heart. So either you are in temple or outside the temple, you'll be able to see Kṛṣṇa always—if you practice. *Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu* [Bs. 5.38]. --- **[[spoken/750715ar.sf|Arrival Lecture — July 15, 1975, San Francisco]]** **Prabhupāda:** ...that one who has got unflinching faith in God and similar faith in *guru,* *yasya deve...* [buzzing feedback sound] [aside:] What is that sound? It cannot be stopped? *Deve* means Bhagavān. *Devāya tasmai namaḥ.* So *deva* means the Supreme Personality of Godhead who is praised by the Vedic *mantra.* Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva and all the demigods, they are offering their prayers. The *Sāma Veda* is singing in glorification of the Supreme Lord. The *yogīs,* they are always seeing the Supreme Lord within the heart, core of heart. So that is *deva. Devāya tasmai namaḥ.* So *yasya deve parā bhaktir yathā deve tathā gurau* [Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.23]. --- **[[spoken/760715cc.ny|Cc. Madhya 20.108-109 — July 15, 1976, New York]]** **Pradyumna:** **Translation: "It is the living entity's constitutional position to be an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa, because he is the marginal energy of Kṛṣṇa and a manifestation simultaneously one and different from the Lord, like a molecular particle of sunshine or fire. Kṛṣṇa has three varieties of energy." So Caitanya Mahāprabhu begins his instruction to Sanātana Gosvāmī because he's the appropriate person to understand. In the previous verse Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has asserted, --- **[[spoken/760715cv.ny|Ride on Rādhā-Dāmodara Bus to Gītā-nagarī Farm — July 15, 1976, New York]]** **Hari-śauri:** So tomorrow we'll be traveling to the farm and then coming..., returning Friday morning. And then I think in the afternoon, Friday afternoon, there's the Associated Press are coming, and also this lady from the magazine wanted to come. **Hari-śauri:** From this *India* magazine? This one I just showed. The thing is, Rāmeśvara was thinking it might be too much if you did two interviews straight after each other. **Hari-śauri:** [to devotee] If you hold this microphone next to your mouth—don't press that trigger, though—and then I'll put it onto the speaker.

Phew. He says Girirāja and himself are meeting leading Hindus like Sadaji Vitlal, etc. He said, "We will have to bring up the Calcutta incident in Parliament." He says this has to be brought up in Parliament. "It was just like Uganda." Just like what happened in Uganda. Whole thing is a plot of the Communists. **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** You said that. I guess you must have got that information from the newspaper. I didn't know that. I mean just see. Fifty of them together stealing the grass. That's organized. Two hundred and fifty people waiting in the bushes, knowing that we will try to stop them from stealing, and suddenly they all rush into the gate, destroy the gate, cut the wires, cut the telephone line, destroy the waterpumps. Every one of these things is criminal. We did not do anything wrong, no wrong in any case. And yet they arrest us. The American government... Actually this should be pushed from the American government. That will have tremendous effect. We should let the American government defend us. **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** They stripped a woman naked. Look at how these Muslims behaved. And after all these years of our distributing *prasādam,* and still they act like this. --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/1967/670715_sripad_narayana_maharaja.md|Letter to Sripad Narayana Maharaja, 1967]] - [[../../letters/1968/680715_syamasundara.md|Letter to Syamasundara, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1969/690715_jadurani.md|Letter to Jadurani, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690715_prabhus_babu.md|Letter to Prabhus Babu, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690715_pradyumna.md|Letter to Pradyumna, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690715_syamasundara.md|Letter to Syamasundara, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690715_vibhavati.md|Letter to Vibhavati, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690715_yamuna_gurudasa.md|Letter to Yamuna Gurudasa, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1970/700715_bali-mardana.md|Letter to Bali-Mardana, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700715_gopala_krsna.md|Letter to Gopala Krsna, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700715_tirthapada.md|Letter to Tirthapada, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700715_upendra.md|Letter to Upendra, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1972/720715_acyutananda.md|Letter to Acyutananda, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720715_amogha.md|Letter to Amogha, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720715_damodara.md|Letter to Damodara, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720715_danavir.md|Letter to Danavir, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720715_satsvarupa.md|Letter to Satsvarupa, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1974/740715_gosainji.md|Letter to Gosainji, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1974/740715_syamasundara.md|Letter to Syamasundara, 1974]]
