kalachandji katha banner

Wednesday, July 22nd through Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

From Srila Prabhupada:
The human life is meant for understanding the science of God...This is the Vedanta-sutra. "This human form of life is meant for inquiring about the Absolute Truth -- Brahman." That Brahman, Parabrahman, is Krsna. Therefore, when Arjuna studied Bhagavad-gita, his conclusion was... He addressed immediately, "Krsna," param brahma param dhama pavitram paramam bhavan [Bg. 10.12]. Bhavan. "Yourself..." So don't waste your time even by a minute. Try to understand the science of Krsna. That is the only business." -- "Controllers Junior And Senior," July 25th, 1976, London, Bhagavad-gita 13.3
