- …movement Lord Krishna five thousand years ago.
- [02:15]
- On the battlefield of Kuruksettra He spoke the great Bhagavad-gita.
- [02:24]
- Most of you, you have heard the name.
- [02:29]
- We have also published “Bhagavad-gita As It Is.”
- [02:37]
- The basis of this Krishna consciousness movement is “Bhagavad-gita As It Is.”
- [02:47]
- The purpose of Bhagavad-gita is to remind you that you are all…
- [02:57]
- You means all living entities, not only human beings, but also other than human beings.
- [03:07]
- The animals, the trees, the birds, the aquatics.
- [03:13]
- Anywhere you find the living force, that is part and parcel of God.
- [03:22]
- God is also a living being, but as it is described in the Vedas, the chief living being.
- [03:35]
- It is said in the Katha Upanisad, Nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam.
- [03:44]
- God is one of the living beings, like us,
- [03:50]
- but the difference between God and ourselves is this: eko yo bahunam vidadhati Kaman.
- [04:00]
- That one living being is providing, maintaining all other living beings.
- [04:08]
- So our position is being maintained by God and God is maintainer.
- [04:19]
- Our position is being predominated and God is predominator.
- [04:28]
- So, in this material world, the living entities.
- [04:35]
- Those living entities who wanted to become like God…
- [04:46]
- So the human form of life is the opportunity to get free from the cycle of birth and death,
- [04:52]
- disease and old age.
- [04:56]
- And this Krishna consciousness movement is meant for educating people in this great science.
- [05:03]
- So we have published already about twenty books, four hundred pages each,
- [05:13]
- to elaborate the science of Krishna consciousness.
- [05:19]
- So the scientists, the philosophers, they can also understand by reading our books.
- [05:27]
- There will be more books…
