kalachandji katha banner

Tuesday, June 16th through Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

From Srila Prabhupada:
So spiritual understanding means first of all to know what is spirit. If you do not know what is spirit, then where is spiritual understanding? People are too much engrossed with the body. That is called materialism. But when you understand what is spirit and you act accordingly, that is called spiritualism. So Arjuna was hesitating to fight with the other party because he had bodily relationship with them. So between Arjuna and Krsna there was discussion, but that was friendly discussion. Therefore, when Arjuna understood that simply friendly discussion could not solve the problem, he became His disciple -- "Who Is Krishna?" 1974/06/16 Germany, Bhagavad-gita 2.1
