| Wednesday, October 28th through Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 | | | | | | | | | | From Srila Prabhupada: Jnanam, knowledge. Krsna says to Arjuna that "I am giving you perfect knowledge." This is our process. We receive knowledge from the perfect person. There is no use getting knowledge from imperfect person. That is useless waste of time. And who is perfect person? Who does not commit any mistake, who is never illusioned, whose senses are not imperfect, and who is not a cheater. These are the qualification. (aside:) The children... These are the symptoms of perfect person. First thing is he does not commit mistake. Throughout the whole world you study big, big men. They committed mistake. Hitler committed mistake. Gandhi committed mistake. Churchill committed mistake. Because "To err is human," however big you may be, you cannot avoid mistakes because you are not liberated. -- "Madmen Can't Give You Knowledge," October 29th, 1975, Nairobi, Bhagavad-gita 7.2 | | | | | | | Sunday, October 4th - Monday, November 2nd: Nightly Damodarastakam Prayers Starting on Saturday October 3rd and every night through Monday, November 2nd, we will celebrate Kartik by singing the Damodarastakam, which celebrates Krishna's pastime of being bound by his devotee's love.
