kalachandji katha banner

Wednesday, October 21st through Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

From Srila Prabhupada:
So people do not understand what is Krsna. How they will love Krsna? It is not possible. Manusyanam sahasresu kascid yatati siddhaye [Bg. 7.3]. Out of many, many millions of persons, somebody may try to become perfect. They do not know how to become perfect. They remain cats and dogs, simply engaged in eating, sleeping, mating and defending. That's all. They are cats and dogs. They are not human being. What is the difference between cats and dogs and human being? Human being is also interested. So long this body is there, we are interested in eating, sleeping, mating or de... But that is not our main business. Our main business is how to understand God and love Him. That is our main business. -- "I Must Love Krishna," Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.28.17, Nairobi, October 26, 1975
