  • 12:2912:29, 8 December 2025 diff hist +4,272 N Prabhupāda Only Qualification - Executing the Order of the GuruCreated page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> When we look at the achievements of Śrīla Prabhupāda—translating libraries of books, circling the globe, establishing a worldwide society—we might assume he considered himself a man of extraordinary personal ability. However, his own self-analysis was radically different. In these revealing quotes, he strips away the facade of "greatness" to show the real mechanism of spiritual power: absolute surrender to the order of the..."

  • 12:2112:21, 8 December 2025 diff hist +4,517 N Parrotlike Perfection - The Art of Repeating Kṛṣṇa's WordsCreated page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> When we think of a great philosopher, we usually imagine someone with a fertile brain who invents new concepts. Śrīla Prabhupāda, however, challenged this modern definition of intelligence. He taught that since the human mind is imperfect and prone to mistakes, any philosophy "manufactured" by the brain is useless. The only way to speak the Absolute Truth is to repeat it exactly as it has been handed down. == "I Don't Manufact..."
  • 12:0412:04, 8 December 2025 diff hist +4,568 N He Lives Forever - Prabhupāda's Relationship with His GuruCreated page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> The relationship between Śrīla Prabhupāda and his spiritual master, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, is the foundation of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. It is a relationship defined not by years of physical association, but by an intensity of service that defied time and space. In these quotes, we see the heart of the perfect disciple. == "He Lives by His Divine Instructions" == Śrīla Pr..."

For Śrīla Prabhupāda, the instruction of his Spiritual Master was his very existence. In these revealing quotes, we see how a single order—"Go to the West"—became the seed that grew into a worldwide movement. == "I Took It Seriously" == Śrīla Prabhupāda attributes the existence of ISKCON not to his own intellige..."
  • 11:5811:58, 8 December 2025 diff hist +3,811 N A Servant of Rādhārāṇī - The Only Prayer of Prabhupāda's FatherCreated page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> Behind every great man is a history of influences. For Śrīla Prabhupāda, the primary influence was his father, Gour Mohan De. In these affectionate reminiscences, we see a portrait of a pure Vaiṣṇava who used his fatherly love to mold his son into a devotee, not by force, but by facilitating his natural spiritual instincts. == "Bless My Son" == In standard society, a father prays for his son to be a doctor, a lawyer, or a..."

Yet, history knows him as the world's greatest renunciate. What happened? In these personal revelations, Śrīla Prabhupāda pulls back the curtain on his domestic life, showing how Kṛṣṇa gradually severed his material ties to free him for a greater purpose. == A Mismatch Made in Heaven == Arranged marriages were..."

  • 09:3209:32, 8 December 2025 diff hist +4,394 N More Dear Than My Own - The Spiritual Family of PrabhupādaCreated page with "When Śrīla Prabhupāda boarded the Jaladuta in 1965, he left behind everything: his home, his business, and his wife and children. To the material vision, he was an old man alone. But to the spiritual vision, he was a father waiting to meet his true family. In these heartwarming letters and conversations, Śrīla Prabhupāda embraces his Western disciples not as followers, but as his own sons and daughters. == The Exchange of Families == Śrīla Prabhupāda often mar..."

Yet, Śrīla Prabhupāda succeeded beyond anyone's imagination. What was his secret? In these quotes, he identifies the "one asset" that sustained him through heart attacks, poverty, and obscurity: absolute faith in his Spiritual Master. == "I Never Lost This Faith" == Śrīla Prabhupāda described himself..."

Was it resources? Education? Location? In his own words, it was none of these. The defining factor was the intensity with which he accepted the order of his Spiritual Master. He didn't just hear it; he took it seriously. == "I Took It Seriously" == Śrīla Prabhupāda pinpoints the specific instruction that changed his life:..."
  • 05:3705:37, 8 December 2025 diff hist +5,602 N The Great Misnomer - Why So-Called Economic Development is a TrapCreated page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> One of the most frequent phrases in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s vocabulary was "so-called." He applied it to scientists, philosophers, and, most notably, to "economic development." This was not a casual figure of speech; it was a philosophical indictment. By using this prefix, he declared that what the world calls "development" is actually "entanglement," and what it calls "progress" is actually "regress." In this collection of quotes..."
