| Wednesday, February 24th through Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 | | | | | | | | | | From Srila Prabhupada: So we should learn from Krsna. We should learn from Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is Krsna Himself. Therefore the author says that "You accept this authority." Na caitanyat krsnat para-tattvam param iha. If you want knowledge, then... You have missed already, because when Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared five hundred years ago people already became fools and rascals. They did not care for the teachings of Bhagavad-gita. Therefore He again came as devotee of Krsna to teach us how to serve Krsna, how to love Krsna. -- " My My My - What Ignorance," Caitanya Caritamrta Adi 1.3, Mayapur, March 24, 1975 | | | | | | Pre-Gaura Purnima Programs These programs will begin on Monday, February 22nd and continue until Friday, the 26th.
