We simply worship the original person, *ādi-puruṣa. Govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi.* Śrīdhara Svāmī is giving his commentation in this connection, that *tasya ati duṣkarād mukham eva anyāt prāyaścittaṁ kecit kīrtanena, evaṁ mūḍho bhakti pradhāna virala iti darśayet[?]. Kevalayā tapa-ādibhir nirapekṣaya[?].* Śrīdhara Svāmī's explaining this word, *kevalayā,* "simply by devotional service," *kevalayā bhaktyā—*but without being dependent on other processes. The other processes we have described: *tapasā brahmacaryeṇa śamena damena* [[sb/6/1/13|[SB. 6.1.13] ]], by observing celibacy. --- **[[spoken/720801bg.gla|Bg 2.11 — August 1, 1972, Glasgow]]** *[*kīrtana*]* **Prabhupāda:** [leads *prema-dhvani*] Devotees:** All glories to Śrī Guru and Gauranga.

It's very near to the motorway, that motorway coming from the airport into central London. **Dhanañjaya:** Well, we can't see it earlier because it belongs to the Methodist Church, and their committee members are meeting in another city, in Manchester, for a week. They have their..., a big congress meeting there. So they don't come back until the end of this week. --- **[[spoken/730801bg.lon|Bg 1.45-46 — August 1, 1973, London]]** *yadi—*even if; *mām—*unto me; *apratīkāram—*without being resistant; *aśastram—*without being fully equipped; *śastra-pāṇayaḥ—*those with weapons in hand; *dhārtarāṣṭrāḥ—*the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra; *raṇe—*in the battlefield; *hanyuḥ—*may kill; *tat—*that; *me—*mine; *kṣemataram—*better; *bhavet—*become. --- **[[spoken/750801mf.no|Walk Around Farm — August 1, 1975, New Orleans]]** **Nityānanda:** Way over the hill and back down there is all ours. In this field we have the calves. And in this field here we have the big cows. **Nityānanda:** Not... No. We are just growing hay. Grass for hay. We can sell the hay in the winter for a good price. **Nityānanda:** This one? Last week. His name is... Her name is Lakṣmī. There is more over here. [break] Bull calves. We are getting more bulls than females. --- **[[spoken/750801r1.no|Room Conversation with Devotees — August 1, 1975, New Orleans]]** **Prabhupāda:** That is time for punishment. They should build up their character, *śamaḥ, damaḥ,* fully controlled. When they like, they become *gṛhasthas.* Otherwise they are controlled. That is *brāhmaṇa.* For *brāhmaṇa* it is not compulsory to marry. *Kṣatriyas* may marry more than one wife. They can take. So all girls must be married. That is... They must... They must have one husband, even the husband has got fifty wives. Then the problem of girls' marriage will be solved. And as soon as one girl is pregnant, she should be separated. **Prabhupāda:** Yes. Pregnancy is understood at three months. From that month till further, sixteen months at least, she should not come to be near husband. That will keep her healthy and the child is healthy. And they are not inclined to come unless a man induces. So the man, if he has got more than one wife, so man will not disturb her. And she will take rest for the next eighteen months. So after ten months she will give birth to the child, and for six months continually she will take care of the child. Feeding the child with breast milk, the child will be healthy. If the child can take mother's milk for six months at least, continually, he'll become healthy for life. **Prabhupāda:** Away means is not to be rejected, but not... Generally she goes to the father's house. So you can have separate building for that. --- **[[spoken/750801sb.no|SB 6.1.49 — August 1, 1975, New Orleans Farm]]** *yathājñas tamasā yukta* *upāste vyaktam eva hi na veda pūrvam aparaṁ naṣṭa-janma-smṛtis tathā* [[sb/6/1/49|[SB. 6.1.49] ]] **Translation:** "As a person in a dream, while sleeping, acts according to the body manifested in his dream, or accepts the body as himself, similarly, he identifies the present body as himself, which was acquired on account of past religious or irreligious life, and is not able to know of his past or future life." **Prabhupāda:** > yathājñas tamasā [yukta] > upāste vyaktam eva hi > na veda pūrvam aparaṁ > naṣṭa-janma-smṛtis tathā > [[sb/6/1/49|[SB. 6.1.49] ]] --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/1966/660801_madhava_maharaja.md|Letter to Madhava Maharaja, 1966]] - [[../../letters/1969/690801_jayapataka.md|Letter to Jayapataka, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1970/700801_dinesh.md|Letter to Dinesh, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700801_krsnakanti.md|Letter to Krsnakanti, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700801_nayanabhirama.md|Letter to Nayanabhirama, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1972/720801_batu_gopala.md|Letter to Batu Gopala, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720801_bhavananda.md|Letter to Bhavananda, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720801_cyavana.md|Letter to Cyavana, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720801_gurudasa.md|Letter to Gurudasa, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720801_karandhara.md|Letter to Karandhara, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720801_ranadhira.md|Letter to Ranadhira, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720801_tamala_krsna.md|Letter to Tamala Krsna, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720801_tulasi.md|Letter to Tulasi, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1973/730801_jahnava.md|Letter to Jahnava, 1973]] - [[../../letters/1976/760801_mr._jootee_boonsoong.md|Letter to Mr. Jootee Boonsoong, 1976]]
