The Poetic Talks

विनाश के कगार पर दुनिया, छिड़ी हुई जंग से
ऐसा कैसा विकास, जो जीने न दे ढंग से
दुनिया के नेता आते नजर अब अपंग से
समाधान मिलेगा वैदिक ज्ञान के प्रसंग से
जुड़ना होगा हरि भक्तों के संग से
रंगना होगा सबको भक्ति के रंग से
-@krishnapad.das

As soon as there is atomic bomb, everything,
all civilization on the surface of the globe
will be finished. You may like it or may not
like it, that a godless civilization cannot be
happy in any stage. That is a fact. Therefore
we have started this Kṛṣṇa consciousness
movement to awaken this godless
civilization, that you try to love God.”
— Srila Prabhupada

The Poetic Talks

कमाल है कमाल है कमाल ही कमाल है
दुखिया लोगों की संख्या में भारी उछाल है
कैसे बनें दुखिया से सुखिया ये बड़ा सवाल है
सुखिया वही जिसके जीवन में नंद का लाल है
- Krishna Pad Das

“In Bhagavad-gītā also, Lord Kṛṣṇa recommends that since happiness and distress come and go due to the interaction of the modes of nature on the body, one should not be disturbed by such external movements.”

समय को मत बिल्कुल बर्बाद करो
ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा कृष्ण को याद करो
कृष्ण भक्ति का भक्तों से संवाद करो
भौतिक जगत से खुद को आज़ाद करो
- Krishna Pad Das

“Don’t waste time. From the very beginning of life, when we can talk, when we can walk, learn Kṛṣṇa consciousness, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Life will be successful.”

दूसरों के अंदर निकालते हैं खूब सारी कमी
देखो खुद के अंदर है कितनी गंदगी है जमी
गंदगी का सफाया होगा तभी आसान,
चेतना जब कृष्ण भक्ति में पूरी तरह है रमी
-Krishna Pad Das

Apaiśunam means that one should not find fault with others or correct them unnecessarily.
Of course to call a thief a thief is not faultfinding, but to call an honest person a thief is very much offensive for one who is making advancement in spiritual life.
- Gita 16.1-3, Purport by Srila Prabhupada

The Poetic Talks

वैदिक संस्कृति में तलाक का विधान है ही नहीं
रिश्ते सुधारने का तलाक समाधान है ही नहीं
आधुनिक सभ्यता को ये ज्ञान है ही नहीं
रिश्ते टूटते हैं जब जीवन में भगवान है ही नहीं

- Krishna Pad Das


Here, what is going on as love, that is not love, that is lust.
A boy loves a girl, a girl loves a boy. That is not love, that is lust.
As soon as there is some disturbance in lusty affair, they divorce.
So therefore that is not love. So we should note it, that so-called love is bogus in this material world.
Love cannot be possible. This very word love, prema, is specially reserved for Krsna.
Premā pum-artho mahān. That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s preaching, that the highest perfection of life is to evoke one’s dormant love for Krsna.
– Srila Prabhupada in a lecture on SB 2.3.1-3, Los Angeles, May 22, 1972

हर रोज भेंट करें एक रोज कृष्ण को।
प्रपोज करना है तो करें प्रपोज कृष्ण को।
करने से पहले भोज, कराएं भोज कृष्ण को।
सोने से पहले आप, सुलाएं रोज कृष्ण को।
-@krishnapad.das


A Kṛṣṇa conscious person sees a flower. He sees the flower—creation of God, Kṛṣṇa. "Oh, Kṛṣṇa is so artistic that he has created this flower by His energy so nicely, so decorately, so good flavor. So it is Kṛṣṇa's thing. Let me offer it to Kṛṣṇa." This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
- Srila Prabhupada

नित्यानंद प्रभु ही हैं स्वयं श्री बलराम।
उनकी कृपा से आनंद नित्य और अविराम।
पापी तापी जगाई मधाई का किया उद्धार,
पहुंचा दिया उनको श्री चैतन्य के धाम
बोलिए जय हो जय हो श्री नित्यानंद राम
- Krishna Pad Das


vrajendra-nandana yei, śacī-suta haila sei,
balarāma haila nitāi

"Who was formerly the son of Nanda Mahārāja, He has appeared as the son of Śacīdevi." Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mother's name was Śacīdevi. Kṛṣṇa is Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and Balarāma is Nityānanda Prabhu. — Srila Prabhupada

मत छेड़ो ज्यादा किसी के स्वभाव को
वक्त दो उसे लाने को खुद में बदलाव को
मित्र बन मार्ग दर्शन करो भक्ति मार्ग में
तब पा सकता है हर कोई कृष्ण के भाव को
- Krishna Pad Das

“By gradual development of Kṛṣṇa consciousness in good association, the living entity can understand that due to forgetfulness of Kṛṣṇa he has become conditioned by the laws of material nature. He can also understand that this human form of life is an opportunity to regain Kṛṣṇa consciousness and that it should be fully utilized to attain the causeless mercy of the Supreme Lord.”
— Srila Prabhupada

आनंद के लिए हर कोई प्यासा
दुनिया में आनंद के नाम पर झांसा
हर कदम पर हताशा ही हताशा
हरि नाम सुख ही है एक मात्र आशा
- Krishna Pad Das

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

“In Kali-yuga, if this Vedic maha-mantra is chanted regularly and heard regularly by the devotional process of śravaṇam-kīrtanam, it will purify all societies, and thus humanity will be happy both materially and spiritually.”
