Addr LA 1970-10-00 Prabhupada Leaves US for India via Japan
1
00:02.252 --> 00:03.699
ANNOUNCER: Next is a lecture,
2
00:03.700 --> 00:09.384
given by His Divine Grace
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda,
3
00:09.385 --> 00:16.744
recorded in September
of 1970 in Los Angeles.
4
00:16.745 --> 00:25.468
PRABHUPĀDA: So Nṛsiṁhadeva will
give you protection in my absence.
5
00:25.469 --> 00:34.373
I am now going to Japan to get
some books printed personally,
6
00:34.374 --> 00:41.582
and after that my
program is to go to India.
7
00:41.583 --> 00:52.353
Maybe I shall be able to
establish some temples there.
8
00:52.354 --> 00:57.492
Of course in India there
are many temples,
9
00:57.493 --> 01:07.395
but it does not mean that I shall
not also establish some temples.
10
01:07.396 --> 01:11.689
Just like there is overpopulation.
11
01:11.690 --> 01:17.912
It does not mean that one
should not beget child.
12
01:17.913 --> 01:24.153
Similarly, there may be many hundreds
of thousand temples in India,
13
01:24.154 --> 01:33.323
still our this society, ISKCON,
should have their own temples.
14
01:33.324 --> 01:39.604
That is the way since
time immemorial.
15
01:39.605 --> 01:45.602
There are hundreds and
thousands of temples.
16
01:45.603 --> 01:52.195
So, my advice to
you, I am old man.
17
01:52.196 --> 01:57.555
So even I may not return,
18
01:57.556 --> 02:05.485
you shall continue this Kṛṣṇa
consciousness movement.
19
02:05.486 --> 02:08.038
This is eternal,
20
02:08.039 --> 02:13.338
and I shall request you
to keep the standard,
21
02:13.339 --> 02:17.482
as I have already given
you the program.
22
02:17.483 --> 02:19.514
The Deity worship, the kīrtana,
23
02:19.515 --> 02:24.814
the street saṅkīrtana,
distribution of literature, books.
24
02:24.815 --> 02:30.735
You should carry on this
program with great enthusiasm.
25
02:30.736 --> 02:35.448
That is my request.
26
02:35.449 --> 02:43.792
In the path of Kṛṣṇa consciousness,
the first principle is enthusiasm.
27
02:43.793 --> 02:49.472
If you lack enthusiasm then
other things will not happen.
28
02:49.473 --> 02:53.680
And you can keep enthusiastic
29
02:53.681 --> 03:01.866
if you follow the rules and regulation
and chant regularly Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra.
30
03:01.867 --> 03:07.815
Otherwise that
enthusiasm also will dry.
31
03:07.816 --> 03:14.885
So, six things are required for
advancing Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
32
03:14.886 --> 03:20.392
The first thing is enthusiasm.
33
03:20.393 --> 03:25.519
Utsāhān dhairyāt, and patient.
34
03:25.520 --> 03:30.474
And niścayād, with
conviction, firm conviction.
35
03:30.475 --> 03:34.688
utsāhān dhairyāt niścayād
tat-tat-karma-pravartanāt
[Upadeśāmṛta 3]
36
03:34.689 --> 03:39.915
Following the rules and
regulation, chalked out plans.
37
03:39.916 --> 03:46.260
And sato vṛtteḥ, dealings
very straightforward.
38
03:46.261 --> 03:50.309
No diplomacy, no
politics, no duplicity.
39
03:50.310 --> 03:53.361
That will not help.
40
03:53.362 --> 03:58.569
Sato vṛtteḥ; Vṛtteḥ, his profession
should be very straightforward.
41
03:58.570 --> 04:01.561
No underhand dealings.
42
04:01.562 --> 04:07.518
Sato vṛtteḥ and sādhu-saṅga, and
in the association of devotees.
43
04:07.519 --> 04:16.606
Six things: enthusiasm,
patience, firm conviction,
44
04:16.607 --> 04:19.881
following the rules
and regulations,
45
04:19.882 --> 04:26.283
dealing straightforward, no duplicity,
and in association of devotees.
46
04:26.284 --> 04:33.189
If you can keep these six
principles always in front,
47
04:33.190 --> 04:37.226
then your progress in Kṛṣṇa
consciousness is sure.
48
04:37.227 --> 04:40.905
There is no doubt about it.
49
04:40.906 --> 04:46.728
So, as far as possible,
I’ve tried to train you,
50
04:46.729 --> 04:49.986
and you are doing
nice; I’m satisfied.
51
04:49.987 --> 04:54.606
So keep the standard and go on.
52
04:54.607 --> 04:58.252
March forward and
Kṛṣṇa will bless you.
53
04:58.253 --> 05:10.363
Thank you very much. Hare Kṛṣṇa.
54
05:10.364 --> 05:10.365
