# November 6 *Lectures from this day: 10 recordings* --- **[[spoken/701106sb.bom|SB 6.1.6 — November 6, 1970, Bombay]]** **Prabhupāda:** > ...mahā-bhāga > yathaiva narakān nara > nānogra-yātanān neyāt > tan me vyākhyātum arhasi > [[sb/6/1/6|[SB. 6.1.6] ]] There was topics of the different hellish conditions of life according to different sinful activities. There is description in the *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,* Fifth Canto, the different planetary systems of this universe, how each and every planet is different from the other by its atmosphere, by its inhabitants, dealings. Just like modern scientists, they are finding difference between this planet and the moon planet. They say that there is no living entity. That is not fact. They... Even though they have reached the moon planet, it is not a fact that there is no living entity. Accepting they reached the moon planet, they might have gone to the part where it is desert or barren land, because in each and every planet there is such possibility. --- **[[spoken/721106nd.vrn|The Nectar of Devotion — November 6, 1972, Vṛndāvana]]** **Pradyumna:** [reading:] "...in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness, how is it possible that he has not become purified? It is not possible. [break] One who is engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and devotional service has, without doubt, become freed from all contaminations of material sinful activities. Devotional service therefore has the power to actually nullify all kinds of reactions to sinful deeds. A devotee is nevertheless always alert not to commit any sinful activities; this is his specific qualification as a devotee. Thus the *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam* states that by performing devotional service a person who was born even in a family of dog-eaters may become eligible to take part in the performance of the ritualistic ceremonies recommended in the *Vedas.* "It is implicit in this statement that a person born into a family of dog-eaters is generally not fit for performing *yajña,* or sacrifice. The priestly caste in charge of performing these ritualistic sacrifices, ritualistic ceremonies recommended in the *Vedas,* is called the *brāhmaṇa* order. Unless one is a *brāhmaṇa,* he cannot perform these ceremonies. A person is born in a *brāhmaṇa* family or in a family of dog-eaters due to his past activities. If a person is born in a family of dog-eaters, it means that his past activities are all sinful. But even..., if even such a person takes to the path of devotional service and begins to chant the holy names of the Lord—Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare / Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare—he is at once fit to perform the ritualistic ceremonies. This means that his sinful reactions have immediately become neutralized." --- **[[spoken/721106sb.vrn|SB 1.2.26 — November 6, 1972, Vṛndāvana]]** **Pradyumna:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* [leads chanting of verse, etc.] [**Prabhupāda and **devotees repeat] *mumukṣavaḥ*—persons desiring liberation; *ghora*—horrible, ghastly; *rūpān*—forms like that; *hitvā*—rejecting; *bhūta-patīn*—demigods; *atha*—for this reason; *nārāyaṇa*—the Personality of Godhead; *kalāḥ*—plenary portions; *śāntāḥ*—all-blissful; *bhajanti*—do worship; *hi*—certainly; *anasūyavaḥ*—nonenvious. --- **[[spoken/731106r1.del|Room Conversation — November 6, 1973, Delhi]]** Śyāmasundara: Eleven to Los Angeles? It is five to London, four and a half to five. From London to Los Angeles, it is... **Brahmānanda:** It will give you the exact time in any one of the time zones in the world. There is a map, and you dial. **Brahmānanda:** Prabhupāda spoke to collaborate the computer watch and the computer on his desk. So both are exactly the same. --- **[[spoken/731106sb.del|SB 2.1.3 — November 6, 1973, Delhi]]** **Pradyumna:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* [leads chanting of verse, etc.] [**Prabhupāda and **devotees repeat] **Translation:** "The lifetime of such envious householders is passed at night either in sleeping or in sex indulgence, and in the daytime either in making money or maintaining family members." --- **[[spoken/761106r1.vrn|Room Conversation with Dr. Theodore Kneupper — November 6, 1976, Vṛndāvana]]** **Prabhupāda:** The present time, it is called Kali-yuga. [aside] Take little *prasādam.* Kali-yuga means this age... Kali-yuga means the age of quarrel and disagreement. **Prabhupāda:** Quarrel and disagreement. Because there is no standard idea. So I'll disagree with you, you'll disagree with me, and on slight provocation there will be fight. This is the age called Kali-yuga. **Prabhupāda:** Yes, so many difficulties. Even there is no war, the natural disturbance and foolish government will create such situation that people will become mad in hopelessness. --- **[[spoken/761106sb.vrn|SB 5.5.18 — November 6, 1976, Vṛndāvana]]** **Pradyumna:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. *[devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, etc.] [break] **Translation:** "One who cannot deliver his dependents from the path of repeated birth and death should never become a spiritual master, a father, a husband, a mother or a worshipable demigod." [break] --- **[[spoken/771106r1.vrn|Room Conversation — November 6, 1977, Vṛndāvana]]** **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** Yes. I think that the time that you always were looking forward to—of the GBC managing things—has come, and that if you can survive, then you can simply be free to translate... **Prabhupāda:** If I am sane, then I'll do. But in this condition... Ah, ha... Hmm. What is to be done now? **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** Well, what we have to do is carry on with this medicine, medical treatment, and let the *kavirāja* come. Then, when he comes from Calcutta, he'll review everything that's happened and he'll see what your condition is like. And if he feels that the liver and kidney have been cleared up a little bit, then he'll begin to give medicine for giving you strength. And we will make him stay here until you get sufficient strength. And if you do get sufficient strength, which means his medicine is working, then he can take you to Māyāpur. --- **[[spoken/771106r2.vrn|Room Conversation — November 6, 1977, Vṛndāvana]]** **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** *Jaya* Śrīla Prabhupāda. Śrīla Prabhupāda? Śatadhanya Mahārāja and Bhakti-caru went to Mathurā and they called Calcutta. They spoke with Adri-dhāraṇa? So he's going to bring the *kavirāja* here. **Bhakti-cāru:** Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda, he has one telephone. He has telephone at home and in his chamber also. But when we rang up, he was not at home. **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** Therefore we thought it best not to lose any more time but to call Adri-dhāraṇa, because he's proved to be very capable person—and he was living with the *kavirāja* when he was here—and we want Adri-dhāraṇa to bring the *kavirāja* personally anyway. We also, Girirāja and myself, were just with the registrar, and we made the correction on the name without any difficulty, so now it's correctly given as "Bhaktivedanta Swami Charity Trust." I wanted that because whenever we gave money from the Trust, I wanted to make a plaque with your name on it, Śrīla Prabhupāda. I thought that would be a nice thing to do. This way, now your name will be properly given. So Śrīla Prabhupāda? So the *kavirāja* will be coming quite soon, and I was thinking that you've been a very good patient, taking all of the medicines which he prescribed. So we should not discontinue it until he comes, because that way we can say to him that you have taken everything exactly as he recommended. That way, he'll know certainly how much his medicine has been effective. If we stop the medicine, then he won't be able to tell exactly. And as he'll be here quite soon, I think that we should just finish taking the medicine until he comes. --- **[[spoken/771106r3.vrn|Room Conversation — November 6, 1977, Vṛndāvana]]** **Bhagatjī:** Sometimes when I used to come you were sleeping. I'll sit for one hour and then went out. **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** Bhagatjī was working very hard, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Too hard. Sometimes he missed his meals in the last two days to do that. I never saw... Even a young man could not work so much as he worked in the last two days. Śrīla Prabhupāda? I think we can... If you allow, Bhavānanda Mahārāja and I can sit you up for a minute to drink a little barley milk? Then you can lay down and take good rest. Taking a little warm thing at night is helpful for sleeping. It's relaxing. We never were used to that, but since we met Your Divine Grace, we're always taking a little warm milk at night. So you'll allow us to give you a little? Okay. [pause] **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** I'm simply praying that Kṛṣṇa in your stomach accepts everything, Śrīla Prabhupāda. --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/pre-1966/651106_sally.md|Letter to Sally, 1965]] - [[../../letters/1968/681106_brahmananda.md|Letter to Brahmananda, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1968/681106_jadurani.md|Letter to Jadurani, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1968/681106_rayaramaa.md|Letter to Rayaramaa, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1968/681106_rayaramab.md|Letter to Rayaramab, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1968/681106_uddhava.md|Letter to Uddhava, 1968]] - [[../../letters/1969/691106_harer_nama.md|Letter to Harer Nama, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1971/711106_kirtanananda_vrindaban_candra_silavati.md|Letter to Kirtanananda Vrindaban Candra Silavati, 1971]] - [[../../letters/1971/711106_ksama.md|Letter to Ksama, 1971]] - [[../../letters/1973/731106_indira_gandhi.md|Letter to Indira Gandhi, 1973]] - [[../../letters/1973/731106_mukunda.md|Letter to Mukunda, 1973]] - [[../../letters/1974/741106_gandharva.md|Letter to Gandharva, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1974/741106_sarvamangala.md|Letter to Sarvamangala, 1974]] - [[../../letters/1976/761106_giriraja.md|Letter to Giriraja, 1976]] - [[../../letters/1976/761106_kirtanananda.md|Letter to Kirtanananda, 1976]]
