It is good to be prepared with a well-thought lecture in advance. However, we must be able to preach effectively at a moment's notice or under any conditions or circumstances also. As you begin to study the Sanskrit words, in each word you will find a treasure house of different understanding.

As soon as one man sees the breast and this armpit of a young woman, then he is finished. And so long he will be charmed with these things, he has to take birth again and again.

Originally Krishna's energy is one: spiritual energy. But according to different functions, Maya is represented differently. In the material world the energy is called Bhadra, and in the spiritual world the same Maya is called Subhadra. Su means auspicious. So in the spiritual world, the same Maya works auspiciously, and in the material world the same Maya works inauspiciously.

To train a new man is like training a wild animal to be a pet. Just like the tiger is trained in the circus and later on they are dancing to the tune of the master. So the point being stressed is training. A preacher should always be tolerant.
Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Gaura Hari, July 09, 1971
JULY 10
Although the Goddess of Fortune is very restless and does not like to stay in one place for very long time, she is always finding new wonderful things in serving Krishna's Lotus Feet so that she never thinks of leaving Him. This is actually the position of Krishna Consciousness, that when we get some taste of rendering sublime loving service to the Lord, no more do we have any taste for any other engagements.
Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Laxmimoni, July 10, 1969
JULY 11
You have asked if it is true that the Spiritual Master remains in the material universe until all of His disciples are transferred to the Spiritual Sky. The answer is yes, this is the rule. Therefore, every student should be very much careful not to commit any offense that wil be detrimental to this promotion to the Spiritual Kingdom, and thereby the Spiritual Master has to incarnate again to deliver him. This sort of mentality will be a kind of offense to the Spiritual Master. Anyone who defies and therefore disconnects the relationship with the Spiritual Master can hardly expect the assistance of the Spiritual Master life after life.

Valuable nuts like almonds, macadamias, walnuts, coconuts, etc. take a long time to fructify. Anything valuable takes a little time to come into existence. Therefore there is no harm in waiting for the best thing.

I know that if you maintain the association of devotees your life will be happy and perfect. That is the version of the sastra that the most important thing of spiritual realization is the company of realized souls or pure devotees of the Lord.

JULY 19
Crying is a great transcendental pleasure. That they cannot understand, the poor fund of knowledge. Caitanya Mahaprabhu was simply crying. That is love. So that they do not understand, how crying can be pleasure. That is Mayavada.

Our Krishna consciousness movement is how to become one of the gopi-jana. Then Krishna will save us from any danger, even by lifting a hill or mountain.

If you send the typewriter to heaven, it is to be worked as typewriter. Either in this hell or heaven, typewriter will kat, kat, kat, kat. Similarly our position is servant. If you don't become servant of Krishna, then you become servant of your wife, your children, your relative, your country, your nation, your dog.
Srila Prabhupada in London, July 23, 1973
JULY 24
You cannot stop war and go on killing animals. There will be so many accidents for killing. When Krishna kills, He kills wholesale. When I kill - one after another. But when Krishna kills, they assemble all the killers and kill.

The police department may be horrible for the criminals, but to the government it is a department as good as university department. Similarly, mahamaya is horrible to the conditioned soul, but to the liberated soul, there is no fear of mahamaya, because he is protected by yogamaya.

JULY 30
A Child-worship is more important than deity-worship. If you cannot spend time with your child, then stop the duties of pujari. These children are given to us by Krishna. They are Vaisnavas and we must be very careful to protect them. These are not ordinary childern, they are Vaikuntha children, and we are very fortunate we can give them chance to advance further in Krishna Consciousness. That is very great responsibility, do not neglect it or be confused.
Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Arundhati, July 30, 1972

There is a book called Aquarian Gospel in which it is stated that Lord Jesus Christ lived in the temple of Jagannatha. Without being His devotee, how could he live there and how the authorities could allow a non-devotee to live there? From that book it appears that Lord Jesus Christ lived in intimate relations with the priest order.
