Hare Krsna to all

Pranams
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

This short paragraph I just read yesterday morning for SB class. Spoken in
Aug of 1968, WAY back in the beginning of Prabhupada’s preaching here in the
west. So one can see how important it is that we understand and implement this
wish of his Divine Grace.

So fortunately, one of our students, he has taken a very large
tract of land in West Virginia to develop a society like that, that
simple life, eat simple things, grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, and
save your time for advancing in Krsna consciousness. Don’t be
implicated in the ugra-karma. Modern civilization is implicated in
ugra-karma–vast machinery, everything complicated. The government
complicated, the society complicated, economics rule complicated,
foreign exchange complicated. Everything has become complicated. So
Narottama dasa Thakura has sung very nice song. Satsanga chair kainu
asatye vilas, ei karane lagila more karma bandha-phansa. Because we
have given up Krsna consciousness, therefore we have been entangled in
the different varieties of material activities. Now we have to
simplify it. The Krsna consciousness movement is to simplify, to save
the valuable life, to save the time of valuable life. This human form
of life is very valuable. Bahunam janmanam ante. After many, many
births we have got this important life. So we have to save our time to
utilize it for Krsna consciousness. That should… So far we have got
this material body, we want to maintain it. The body and souls live
together. That is all right. For that, Krsna has given every chance.
Anywhere you sit down, you have got land and cow. You produce
something and cow’s milk. That is sufficient for maintenance. So let
us try to make an attempt to organize a New Vrindaban scheme, and I
shall request all my students to develop this idea and show a good
example to this Western part of the world where people are always
engaged in ugra-karma, asuric-karma. Things are becoming very
implicated, complicated.
Thank you very much. Any question?
