>> SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT >>

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.]

Srila Prabhupada Quote of the Day

ANYTHING FRESH, THAT IS FULL OF VITAMIN.
GROW FRESH, TAKE FRESH.

PARIS, AUGUST 3, 1976
HIS DIVINE GRACE A.C. BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA

IF A DEVOTEE OFFERS ME A SMALL FLOWER, A LEAF, SOME WATER
OR A LITTLE FRUIT I WILL ACCEPT IT.
BHAGAVAD-GITA 9.26

THE REAL PURPOSE IS TO EXHIBIT ONE'S LOVING DEVOTION
TO THE LORD; THE OFFERINGS THEMSELVES ARE SECONDARY.
IF ONE HAS NOT DEVELOPED LOVING DEVOTION TO THE
LORD AND SIMPLY OFFERS MANY KINDS OF FOODSTUFFS,
FRUITS AND FLOWERS WITHOUT REAL DEVOTION, THE
OFFERING WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY THE LORD. WE CANNOT
BRIBE THE PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD.
HE IS SO GREAT THAT OUR BRIBERY HAS NO VALUE. NOR HAS
HE ANY SCARCITY; SINCE HE IS FULL OF HIMSELF WHAT CAN
WE OFFER HIM? EVERYTHING IS PRODUCED BY HIM. WE SIMPLY
OFFER TO SHOW LOVE AND GRATITUDE TO THE LORD.
SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM 3.29.24
