# September 29 *Lectures from this day: 10 recordings* --- **[[spoken/720929mw.la|Morning Walk — September 29, 1972, Los Angeles]]** **Prabhupāda:** [indistinct] Here is your transport. We are trying to send back to home, back to Godhead. This is real transport. **Jayatīrtha:** If you're going to travel, you should go to a worthwhile place. There's no reason to waste time. **Prabhupāda:** These scientists, they are trying to travel in the outer space, but they do not know where to go. --- **[[spoken/720929r1.la|Room Conversation — September 29, 1972, Los Angeles]]** **Prabhupāda:** Ah *acha. hirud tinak die vidya vidya high tine tine tak, hirud tinak die vidya vidya high tine tine tak, hirud tinak die vidya vidya high tine tine tak*.[?] [door opens] **Pradyumna:** Śrīla Prabhupāda something about the tickets. We have those around the world tickets, we have round the world tickets and those tickets have a certain amount of. Have an itinerary. The itinerary is that we go from. **Pradyumna:** Well eh, there's just one thing, that Karāndhara wanted me to ask about. That the tickets are going to be ah, \$1900 apiece. --- **[[spoken/720929sb.la|SB 1.3.24 — September 29, 1972, Los Angeles]]** **Prabhupāda:** [*Govindam* prayers playing; sings along] [leads singing of *Jaya Rādhā-Mādhava*] [*prema-dhvani*] Thank you very much.**Devotees:** All glories to Śrī Guru and Gauranga. **[devotees offer obeisances] Prabhupāda: Hmm. **Pradyumna:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,* Canto One, Chapter Three, text 24. [leads chanting of verse] [**Prabhupāda and **devotees repeat] --- **[[spoken/720929ta.la|Talk — September 29, 1972, Los Angeles]]** **Kṛṣṇa-kānti:** I have a...I'm going to make up a *mṛdaṅga* lesson tape. We have already recorded one *mṛdaṅga* lesson and all of the recordings that you have made where you just play *mṛdaṅga* alone. Well I have those and I can just put those recordings with no music just *mṛdaṅga*. --- **[[spoken/730929bg.bom|Bg 13.6-7 — September 29, 1973, Bombay]]** **Prabhupāda:** > ...āny ahaṅkāro > buddhir avyaktam eva ca > indriyāṇi daśaikaṁ ca > pañca cendriya-gocarāḥ Kṛṣṇa is discussing *kṣetra, kṣetrajñaḥ, jñāna* and *jñeya.* So *kṣetra... Idaṁ śarīraṁ kṣetram ity abhidhīyate.* This body is the *kṣetra. Ksetra* means the field of activities. Just like a cultivator, he has got a certain portion of land, and according to the land, he is seeding, sowing the seeds of grains, and as he is working, he's getting the profit by agricultural product. Similarly, this body is a field, is field, and we are sowing the seed, *karma,* sowing the seed and getting the result. *Karmaṇā daiva-netreṇa* [[sb/3/31/1|[SB. 3.31.1] ]]. --- **[[spoken/740929le.may|Lecture [Bengali] — September 29, 1974, Māyāpur]]** --- **[[spoken/740929sb.may|SB 1.8.19 — September 29, 1974, Māyāpur]]** **Nitāi:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* [devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, etc.] *māyā-javanikācchannam ajñādhokṣajam avyayam na lakṣyase mūḍha-dṛśā naṭo nāṭyadharo yath*ā *[[sb/1/8/19|[SB. 1.8.19] ]] **Translation:** "Being beyond the range of limited sense perception, the eternally irreproachable factor covered by the curtain of deluding energy, You are invisible to the foolish observer, exactly as an actor dressed as a player is not recognized." --- **[[spoken/750929mw.ahm|Morning Walk — September 29, 1975, Ahmedabad]]** **Prabhupāda:** [Transl. That is there.] ...*mandāḥ,* all bad men. *Mandā* *sumanda-matayaḥ [[sb/1/1/10|[SB. 1.1.10] ]]. And if he is supposed to be a good man, he will manufacture some *mata, manda-mata* [bad opinion], not approved by the *śāstras.* This is going on. They will not hear Kṛṣṇa. They will give quotation from *Brahma-kumārī.* This is the greatest defect of modern civilization, that they won't accept real authority. They will create some authority. Or rascal, he becomes authority. Especially in India, this is the drawback. In the Western countries they do not know much about this. Therefore they accept what I say. But here they bring so many. So such an important man, he is bringing authority *Brahma-kumārī,* a house of prostitution. If he is bringing their quotation as authority, then what to speak of others? [break] Just like that Christian convent house. They supply woman to rich men, and they supply money. That's all. This is *Brahma-kumārī.* Rich man, the same disease is there—*yan maithunādi-gṛhamedhi-sukhaṁ hi tuccham* [[sb/7/9/45|[SB. 7.9.45] ]]. So if they get facility for some maithuna: [sex life], they will give you money. [Transl.Nowadays the girls are not married, all right, come on here, prostitute, and that is convent house.] Hmm? Brahmānanda? Convent house? What is that convent house? It is not prostitution? That's all. **Prabhupāda:** Unless one is actually spiritually situated, this material center of happiness, *maithunādi,* that will go anywhere. You give any color, spiritual or religious or political. You see? Why Gandhi's *āśrama* failed? Do you know that? --- **[[spoken/760929r1.vrn|Room Conversation with U.N. Doctor — September 29, 1976, Vṛndāvana]]** **Prabhupāda:** *Na taj janeṣu abhijñeṣu. Abhijñaḥ janeṣu,* no attachment. Vyāsadeva, Śukadeva Gosvāmī, Nārada Muni, all the *ācāryas,* Rāmānujācārya, they have no respect for these. They're creating their howling habits, that's all. How there can be peace? **Doctor:** No, *mantras.* I have come to *mantra. Klīṁ kṛṣṇāya govindāya gopījanavallabhāya namaḥ.* Is that not a very powerful Kṛṣṇa *mantra?* **Doctor:** But I was told that the *Sudarśana-cakra* words, *mahāmāla parakramāyā maha patanivaya bhakta jane kalpanaya[?],* that is a very powerful *mantra.* --- **[[spoken/760929sb.vrn|SB 1.7.36-37 — September 29, 1976, Vṛndāvana]]** **Pradyumna:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. *[*Prabhupāda and* devotees repeat] *[chants verse]* *mattaṁ pramattam unmattaṁ suptaṁ bālaṁ striyaṁ jaḍam prapannaṁ virathaṁ bhītaṁ na ripuṁ hanti dharma-vit* *[[sb/1/7/36|[SB. 1.7.36] ]] **Translation:** "A person who knows the principles of religion does not kill an enemy who is careless, intoxicated, insane, asleep, afraid, or devoid of his chariot. Nor does he kill a boy, a woman, a foolish creature or a surrendered soul." --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/1967/670929_jayananda.md|Letter to Jayananda, 1967]] - [[../../letters/1967/670929_krsna_devi.md|Letter to Krsna Devi, 1967]] - [[../../letters/1967/670929_mukunda.md|Letter to Mukunda, 1967]] - [[../../letters/1967/670929_subala.md|Letter to Subala, 1967]] - [[../../letters/1968/680929_gurudasa.md|Letter to Gurudasa, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1968/680929_krsna_devi_dinesh_candra.md|Letter to Krsna Devi Dinesh Candra, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1968/680929_satsvarupa.md|Letter to Satsvarupa, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1970/700929_aditi.md|Letter to Aditi, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700929_central_bank_of_india.md|Letter to Central Bank Of India, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700929_jagadisa.md|Letter to Jagadisa, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700929_jananivasa.md|Letter to Jananivasa, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1970/700929_upendra.md|Letter to Upendra, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1972/720929_amogha.md|Letter to Amogha, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720929_giriraja.md|Letter to Giriraja, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720929_jagadisa.md|Letter to Jagadisa, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720929_karandhara.md|Letter to Karandhara, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720929_mahendranath.md|Letter to Mahendranath, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720929_my_dear_daughters.md|Letter to My Dear Daughters, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720929_nityananda.md|Letter to Nityananda, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720929_susan_beckman.md|Letter to Susan Beckman, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1972/720929_tamala_krsna_bhavananda.md|Letter to Tamala Krsna Bhavananda, 1972]] - [[../../letters/1973/730929_bhagavan_das.md|Letter to Bhagavan Das, 1973]] - [[../../letters/1973/730929_shri_khilnani.md|Letter to Shri Khilnani, 1973]] - [[../../letters/1974/740929_bhagavan.md|Letter to Bhagavan, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1974/740929_giriraj_prabhu.md|Letter to Giriraj Prabhu, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1974/740929_hansadutta.md|Letter to Hansadutta, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1974/740929_jagadisa.md|Letter to Jagadisa, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1974/740929_mukunda.md|Letter to Mukunda, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1974/740929_radhavallabha.md|Letter to Radhavallabha, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1974/740929_sri_govinda.md|Letter to Sri Govinda, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1975/750929_gargamuni.md|Letter to Gargamuni, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750929_hansadutta.md|Letter to Hansadutta, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750929_jagadisa.md|Letter to Jagadisa, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750929_ramesvara.md|Letter to Ramesvara, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1975/750929_rupanuga.md|Letter to Rupanuga, 1975]] - [[../../letters/1976/760929_bahulasva_das.md|Letter to Bahulasva Das, 1976]] - [[../../letters/1976/760929_bhurijana_das.md|Letter to Bhurijana Das, 1976]] - [[../../letters/1976/760929_dvarakesa.md|Letter to Dvarakesa, 1976]] - [[../../letters/1976/760929_pancaratna.md|Letter to Pancaratna, 1976]]
