# August 6 *Lectures from this day: 6 recordings* --- **[[spoken/710806sb.lon|SB 1.1.1 — August 6, 1971, London]]** **Pradyumna:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] **Prabhupāda:** > janmādy asya yato 'nvayād itarataś cārtheṣv abhijñaḥ svarāṭ > tene brahma hṛdā ya ādi-kavaye muhyanti yat sūrayaḥ > tejo-vāri-mṛdāṁ yathā vinimayo yatra tri-sargo 'mṛṣā > dhāmnā svena sadā nirasta-kuhakaṁ satyaṁ paraṁ dhīmahi So Vyāsadeva is offering his obeisances to *satyaṁ param,* the Absolute Supreme Truth, not to the relative truth. Everyone has to offer obeisances to somebody. Somebody... In our practical life, at least, we have to offer obeisances to the police constable. When you go on the street, as soon as they, "Stop!" so we have to obey. So how you can avoid obeying? They are saying that "We don't believe in God," "God is dead," "I am God." But why you are offering obeisances even to the small constable? That means you have to offer your obeisances to somebody. That is your position. --- **[[spoken/730806bg.lon|Bg 2.6 — August 6, 1973, London]]** **Pradyumna:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *na—*nor; *ca—*also; *etat—*this; *vidmaḥ—*do know; *katarat—*which; *naḥ—*us; *garīyaḥ—*better; *yat—*what; *vā—*either; *jayema—*conquer us; *yadi—*if; *vā—*or; *naḥ—*us; *jayeyuḥ—*conquer; *yān—*those; *eva—*certainly; *hatvā—*by killing; *na—*never; *jijīviṣāmaḥ—*want to live; *te—*all of them; *avasthitāḥ—*are situated; *pramukhe—*in the front; *dhārtarāṣṭrāḥ—*the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra. --- **[[spoken/730806iv.lon|Interview with Reporters — August 6, 1973, London]]** **Reporter:** You're just over here for a visit, are you? Or are you staying here? Do you intend to stay here? **Prabhupāda:** England, especially London, is the most important city in the world, so there are many nice people here. I very much like to talk with them. So if I am allowed to stay here, I can stay and make friendship with nice people here. That's all. **Reporter:** 'Cause he had another *juru* [sic] didn't he? He had, um, what was his name? The Maharishi. The, the old gentleman with the beard. --- **[[spoken/740806bg.vrn|Bg 4.14 — August 6, 1974, Vṛndāvana]]** **Prabhupāda:** > ...na me karma-phale spṛhā > iti māṁ yo 'bhijānāti > karmabhir na sa badhyate > [[bg/4/14|[Bg. 4.14] ]] So in another place Kṛṣṇa says, *janma karma me divyaṁ yo jānāti tattvataḥ* [[bg/4/9|[Bg. 4.9] ]]. Karma,* every living entity is bound up by the resultant action of his own *karma.* But Kṛṣṇa is not like that. The..., in the English constitutional law it is said that "The king can no..., king can do no wrong." King can order punishment for the criminal, but the king is never criminal. King cannot be punished. Your President Nixon is fighting on this point. Although people wants to impeach him, he's fighting on this point, that "I am not wrong." Actually, that much facilities must be given to the head executive. If he becomes under the laws, then his position is not exalted. The... That is the principle of accepting in the highest order of life. --- **[[spoken/740806sb.vrn|SB 1.5.25 — August 6, 1974, Vṛndāvana]]** **Nitāi:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* [devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, etc.] "Once only, by their permission, I took the remnants of their food, and by so doing, all my sins were at once eradicated. Thus being engaged, I became purified in heart, and at that time the very nature of the transcendentalist became attractive to me." --- **[[spoken/750806mw.det|Morning Walk — August 6, 1975, Detroit]]** **Brahmānanda:** In Los Angeles city they have coyotes, like a wolf, and they go around eating the pet cats and dogs. **Brahmānanda:** Yes. But they are becoming even more and more bold. Even during the day now they are coming, and they'll go in someone's... On the lawn there will be a dog playing or a cat, and... [laughter] **Prabhupāda:** Those animals sometimes kill children also, small children. [break] ...*padaṁ yad vipadāṁ [[sb/10/14/58|[SB. 10.14.58] ]]: "Every step there is danger." This is the place.
