Quotes Of The Day

Niranjana Swami
October 19, 2025 - Lecture on Brihad-bhagavatamrita

How fortunate it is to have taken a human birth so soon after the appearance of Lord Caitanya. We should not be interested in attaining the upper planetary systems, where we will have a long wait to graduate from the material world. We should take full advantage of the facility which Lord Caitanya has given through the distribution of His holy name and through the instructions of His followers, who have elaborated upon His teachings to make Krishna consciousness and prema-bhakti so fully accessible even in this age of Kali-yuga.

Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.13, Vrndavana, 24 October, 1972

Actually, at the present moment especially, the whole human society has missed the point. They are trying to be happy by material adjustment. By social adjustment, by political adjustment, by economic development or by religious adjustment, they are trying to make the whole human society happy. But Bhagavata says, durasaya ye bahir-artha-maninah: this is something which is beyond the fulfillment of hopes. This hope will never be fulfilled. Durasaya. Bahir-artha-maninah. Because they have accepted the external energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, bahir-artha.
