PRABHUPADA FARM HAWAII - GOLOKA COW SANCTUARY: The Prabhupada Sankirtan Society is now in Hawaii.

Varnāśrama in action - in the original Vedic tradition.
“The social institution known as varṇāśrama-dharma - the institution dividing society into four divisions or castes - is not meant to divide human society according to birth. Such divisions are in terms of educational qualifications. They are to keep the society in a state of peace and prosperity. The qualities mentioned herein are explained as transcendental qualities meant for making a person progress in spiritual understanding so he can get liberated from the material world.”
- Bhagavad-gita As It Is - Macmillan 1972 Edition : Bg 16: The Divine and Demoniac Natures : Bg 16.1, Bg 16.2, Bg 16.3, Bg 16.1-3 : PURPORT - [Bold/italic emphasis added.]

THE BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS - Praised By All ~
The Srila Prabhupada edition of Bhagavad gita As It Is praised by scholars, philosophers, religionists, and scientists:
“The Gita can be seen as the main literary support for the great religious civilization of India, the oldest surviving culture in the world. The present translation and commentary is another manifestation of the permanent living importance of the Gita.” — Thomas Merton, Theologian

In Honor of Srila Prabhupada

Nama om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhu-tale
srimate bhaktivedanta-svamin iti namine

namas te sarasvate deve gaura-vani-pracarine
nirvisesa-sunyavadi-pascatya-deas-tarine

Dearest Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances and heartfelt gratitude
at the enchanted dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories and love
to you, Srila Prabhupada! Today is the most miraculous day of
your appearance, and for me is a meaningful day to give thanks
and meditate on your instructions and humbly attempt to serve you
purely with devotion.

Therefore any person who seriously desires real happiness must seek a bona fide spiritual master and take shelter of him by initiation. The qualification of the bona fide guru is that he has realized the conclusions of the scriptures by deliberation and is able to convince others of these conclusions. Such great personalities, who have taken shelter of the Supreme Godhead, leaving aside all material considerations, should be understood to be bona fide spiritual masters.
Srimad-Bhagavatam 11.3.21

It was only through your grace and mercy that my life
has changed and I will always be indebted to you.
I sit at your lotus feet everyday, pray, read your books,
hear your instructions and thank Radha Krsna
Lord Caitanya, the Six Goswamis and our Guru Parampara that
you came to this world to spread Krishna Conciousness throughout
this material world that has become blessed by your Grace.
Jaya Prabhupada Ki Jai

Love & Light,
Mother Lynda Dasi
