The Poetic Talks

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

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

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.

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।

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

The Poetic Talks

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.”

हर कोई परेशान है इस शहर में
जानकर भी अनजान है इस शहर में
घमंड में चूर इंसान को पता नहीं,
देने वाला तो सब भगवान है इस शहर में
- Krishna Pad Das

Since everything is the property of God, and all living entities—not only human beings but even animals, birds, plants and so on—are children of God, everyone has the right to live at the cost of God with God consciousness.
— Srila Prabhupada

The Poetic Talks

आज के युवा की दशा और दिशा दोनों खराब है
किसी के हाथ में सिगरेट तो किसी के हाथ में शराब है
दिमाग में गलत विचारों का भराव है
युवा को गीता ज्ञान में तपना होगा
हरी नाम को जपना होगा
जब चढ़ेगी भक्ति की सीढ़ी
तभी आनंदित हो पाएगी युवा पीढ़ी
- Krishna Pad Das

You are the young generation; you are the flower of your country and society. Practice this most sublime system, Krsna consciousness. Be happy and make others happy. This is the real mission of life.

जब भी में थोड़ा down feel करो
हरि नाम से खुद को heal करो
गीता पढ़ने की zeal भरो
प्रसादम रूपी meal करो
- Krishna Pad Das


When one is engaged in devotional service he will become joyful. If one is morose, that means he is not Krishna conscious. If one is Krishna conscious, he cannot be morose.
