Lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam 3.30.30--19 March 2021 in Austin, Texas

Although I’ve come to this human form
My Lord, I’ve spent my life uselessly.
I did not care for Radha and Krishna
And so I swallow poison knowingly.

Hare Krishna mantra comes straight from Krishnaloka
But with chanting I have no connection.
Day and night I’m burning in this dark world
Without working to make the correction.

Lord Krishna comes as Saci’s son
Balarama descends as Nitai.
By chanting the wretched have all been saved
Including Jagai and Madhai.

Oh my Lord, Oh Son of King Nanda
Together with Vrishabhanu’s daughter.
I’ve got no shelter but Radha and Krishna
Humbly prays Narottam Das Thakur

Although I’ve come to this human form
My Lord, I’ve spent my life uselessly.
I did not care for Radha and Krishna
And so I swallow poison knowingly.

Srila Prabhupada  Lecture on the Disappearance Day of Bhaktisiddhanta  Sarasvati

This is the English translation of the powerful Bengali bhakti bhajana "Hari Hari Viphale" by the great Vaisnava acharya, Srila Narottama Das Thakur

Although I’ve come to this human form
My Lord I’ve spent my life uselessly.
I did not care to serve Radha and Krishna
So I swallow poison knowingly, knowingly.

Hare Krishna mantra comes straight from Krishna Loka,
But with chanting I have no connection.
Day and night I’m burning in this dark world
Without working to make the correction, no correction.
        
Lord Krishna comes as Sachi’s Son,         
Balarama descends as Nitai.
By chanting, the wretched have all been saved,
Including Jagai and Madhai.

Oh my dear Lord, O Son of King Nanda,
Together with Vrishabhanu’s daughter—
“I’ve got no shelter but Radha and Krishna,”
Humbly prays Narottama Das Thakur.

Although I’ve come to this human form
My Lord I’ve spent my life uselessly.
I did not care to serve Radha and Krishna
So I swallow poison knowingly.
I did not care to serve Radha and Krishna
So I swallow poison knowingly.

Do Not Kill Cows. By Sankarshan Das
 
The cow's our mother giving us milk
After first mother no longer can.
So how we can kill and eat her?
This I do not understand. 

If your compassion I can somehow arouse,
I'll convince you that we should not kill cows.
 
She gives us ice cream, yogurt and more
Without asking even for a penny.
So how we can then kill and eat her?
What an atrocious pity!
 
So if your compassion I can somehow arouse,
I'll convince you that we should not kill cows.
 
The karma we get for eating a cow
Is to be killed and eaten too.
So to get ourselves free from being slaughtered
This is what we now have to do.
 
If your compassion I can somehow arouse,
I'll convince you that we should not kill cows.

Yes,  if your compassion I can somehow arouse,
I'll convince you that we should not kill cows. 

(Spoken). Take it seriously.

Do Not Kill Cows

Lyrics by  by Bali Mardan Dāsa Brahmacārī

1. This life is a constant journey,
Prabhupāda’s the guiding star.
We can see the way before us.
Though the goal is very far.

Chorus:
Won’t you come along?
Won’t you come along?
Won’t you come along?
Won’t you come along?

2. With the real Bhagavad-gītā
We have started on the road.
Wondering why those mundane wranglers
Have to carry such a load.

Chorus

3. And now with Prabhupāda to guide us
We will traverse every curve
On the path to Kṛṣṇaloka,
Where Kṛṣṇa is always served.

Chorus

4. This life is a constant journey
Back to Kṛṣṇa, back to God.
We are traveling on that highway
That is lit by Prabhupāda.

Chorus

Constant Journey

This is a lecture given by Srila Prabhupada on August 5, 1972 In Los Angeles on Srimad Bhagavatam, First Canto, Chapter 2, Text 12.
It is truly one of most amazing and inspiring lectures ever given by Srila Prabupada.

The Holy Places of Vrindavan

"There is no comparison. There is no competition. Every word is for the good of the human society. Every word, each and every word. Therefore we stress so much in the book distribution. Somehow or other, if the book goes in one hand, he will be benefited. At least he will see, 'Oh, they have taken so much price. Let me see what is there.' If he reads one śloka, his life will be successful. If one śloka, one word. This is such nice things. Therefore we are stressing so much, 'Please distribute book, distribute book, distribute book.' A greater mṛdaṅga. We are chanting, playing our mṛdaṅga. It is heard within this room or little more. But this mṛdaṅga will go home to home, country to country, community to community, this mṛdaṅga."

Greater Mridanga Example Given by Srila Prabhupada in Los Angeles on 5 January 1974

My song “The Peace Formula” presents the perfect formula for world peace as spoken by Lord Krishna 5,000 years ago in the Bhagavad-gita. US President Obama very much appreciated my song and wrote me as follows on 24 December 2015 from the White House in Washington, DC: 

Thank you for writing. Messages like yours serve as an important reminder of the work that still lies ahead, and they reflect a commitment to staying engaged in shaping the future we know is possible. As long as I’m president, I’ll keep pouring everything I have into securing a brighter tomorrow for people across our country. 
Again, thank you for writing. By embracing hope and speaking out on issues that matter to you, you can help make a difference. I want you to know I’m listening, and I wish you all the best. 
Sincerely, 
Barack Obama 

I am hoping and praying that all the world’s leaders will now hear and follow the perfect peace formula as given in this song. If they do so, it will mark the beginning of the most amazingly wonderful era in all of global history. 

LYRICS
Our world has become an unspeakable nightmare. 
Peace is destroyed replaced by brutal warfare.  
All hell is breaking loose on this planet right now,   
And for stopping it the leaders have no idea how.  But 

Chorus: 
Here is the peace formula. Please take it my friends.  
Please take it. You'll see. It will not fail. 
Here is the peace formula. Please take it, my friends. 

Please take it. Surely peace will prevail.   We come into this world possessing nothing. And we leave from this world with absolutely nothing. But in the middle we fight and kill claiming this is mine. Ignoring the real owner who reclaims everything in time.  Yes. 

Chorus 

Now listen here all of you world leaders.  
If you want real peace, this you must now understand.  
There's a Supreme Proprietor to whom everything belongs.  
What you think is yours is just now slipping through your hands.  
Acknowledge that Supreme Owner, Enjoyer, and Friend.  
Peace will come and this turmoil will completely end.   
Yes, 

Chorus 

Please take it. Worldwide peace will prevail. 
Spoken: Please take it. Please take it. Please take it.

How to Attain Supreme Nirvana

1968 Original Audio

Srila Prabhupada Lecture on Bhaktisiddhanta Disappearance Day Lecture_9.Dec.1968_Los Angeles

My dear listener, in this very sublime song, Kabe Habe Bolo, Bhaktivinode Thakur has very kindly revealed to us the mood for awakening pure bhakti within our hearts in this very sublime song:
 
 
Kabe ha'be bolo se-dina āmār
When, oh when will that day be mine? 
Aparādha ghuci', śuddha nāme ruci,
Kṛpā-bale ha'be hṛdoye sañcār
When my offenses ceasing, taste for the name increasing, 
When in my heart will Your mercy shine? 
kabe ha'be bolo se-dina āmār
When, oh when will that day be mine?
 
Lower than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree,
When will my mind attain this quality?
Respectful to all, not expecting their honor, 
Then shall I taste the name's nectar sublime.
Kabe ha'be bolo se-dina āmār
When, oh when will that day be mine?
 
Great wealth or followers, feminine beauty,
I won't care for them or the comforts of my body
Birth after birth give me, O Lord Chaitanya,
Causeless devotion to Your feet divine. 
Kabe ha'be bolo se-dina āmār
When, oh when will that day be mine?
 
When will I utter Krishna, Krishna, Krishna,
With words choked up and shivering body?
When will I be trembling all over, lose bodily color,
Tears pouring from my eyes?
Kabe ha'be bolo se-dina āmār
When, oh when will that day be mine?
 
When in Navadvipa along the Ganges bank,
Shouting "Gaura-Nityananda!" as a surrendered soul,
Dancing, chanting, running everywhere,
When will I become half mad of mind?
Kabe ha'be bolo se-dina āmār
When, oh when will that day be mine?
 
When will Lord Nityananda show mercy upon me?
When will I reject the world of maya?
Bestow unto me the shade of Your lotus feet, 
Let the right to preach the name be mine.
Kabe ha'be bolo se-dina āmār
When, oh when will that day be mine?
 
I will beg, borrow, or steal the nectar of the name.
By the name's effect I will feel paralyzed.
O enjoyer of the nectar of the name,
When will I touch Your lotus feet till the end of time?
Kabe ha'be bolo se-dina āmār
When, oh when will that day be mine?
 
When kindness to all beings will be appearing
With free heart forgetting myself comforting,
Bhaktivinode in all humility prays,
"Now I'll set out to preach Your order sublime." 
Kabe ha'be bolo se-dina āmār
When, oh when will that day be mine?
Kabe ha'be bolo se-dina āmār
When, oh when will that day
When, oh when will that day
When, oh when will that day be mine?
 
 
Let us deeply embrace this mood within our hearts of intensely chanting the Lord's holy name without committing any offense
