So we are worshiping govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ. Ādi-puruṣam, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, original. You have to find out the original. That is called philosophy. Philosophy means searching out the original. Darśana. In Sanskrit word it is called darśana, to see the original, to find out the original. So the original information is given by Vedānta-sūtra. What is that origin? Athāto brahma jijñāsā. One should be inquisitive to understand about the origin. That is the chance in this human form of life. We do not know the origin. The scientists, they explain, “Perhaps,” “Like this; it was like this,” ‘Perhaps,“ “It might be like this.” That is not explanation. So the direct explanation is…, very nice explanation is given by the Vedānta-sūtra what is that origin. The Vedānta-sūtra says, janmādy asya yataḥ [SB 1.1.1]. The origin is that from which everything is born. That is the origin. Now we have to find out what is that thing from whom everything is born. That is Kṛṣṇa. The great sages, they have searched out what is that origin. And in the Brahma-saṁhitā it is said, īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ anādir ādir govindaḥ sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam Sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam means the cause of all causes. They have searched out. Scientifically they have searched out that Kṛṣṇa is the origin.

Prabhupāda: I can sit here… Book? Kṛṣṇa-kānti: Yes, you can hold the book so that you don’t have to turn… [break] [harmonium] Kṛṣṇa-kānti: [indistinct] apartment[?] [indistinct] [harmonium] Prabhupāda: Bring those small books. [break] Kṛṣṇa-kānti: [indistinct] Svarūpa Dāmodara: [indistinct] Prabhupāda: So I hope you have got another. [harmonium] Sing?

Prabhupāda: Dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ yogino. This is jñāna. The leader of the meditation that Viṣṇu-devānanda. Karāndhara: This is the Maharishi. Prabhupāda: No he is also one of the meditation leaders and now he is being sued for having illicit sex philosophy but the leader is being sued for sex, so what the nonsense will do?.. Another rascal is being sued that Sac-cid-ānanda? Svarūpa Dāmodara: Oh Sac-cid-ānanda.. Prabhupāda: Yes. Svarūpa Dāmodara: He is ‘The Divine Light Society’ or? Karāndhara: [indistinct] Prabhupāda: What [indistinct] going to say? All these meditation wālās they meditate upon women that is all. Karāndhara: They don’t know what the meaning of transcendental is. They have no teacher. [break] Prabhupāda: Just on the line you will see all these different types of [indistinct] break] Hare Krsna.

So Bhṛgupati… Brahmā-druha. The administrative class, the politicians, they must obey the order of the brāhmaṇas. That is Vedic culture. Therefore, although there was monarchy, king, one king, no democracy, but because the king would follow the instruction of learned sages and brāhmaṇa, they would rule over the country very nicely. Take, for example, if your president takes our advice how to rule, then everything will be very nice. Of course, we shall immediately ask the president to stop the slaughterhouse. But it is very difficult. You see? Neither the president is ready… Even if he is ready, he cannot do. Everything is constitutional. So brahma-druha. The society must be brāhmaṇic. Vedic culture means to create every person a brāhmaṇa, not to keep him śūdra. Of course, in the modern education system, the purpose is to elevate the general people. But they do not know how to elevate. Therefore there is so much trouble. The elevation should be… There must be some purpose, end. What purpose education is being given? It is purposeless education. Mostly, at the present moment, education means to give facilities for sense gratification. That’s all. Boys and girls in the school and colleges, just from the very beginning they are given all liberty for sex life. So this is not education. Education means to lead the people gradually to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is education, God consciousness. Because human life… This is the only life. There are ...

Bhagavad-gītā 13.1–2 Prabhupāda: " arjuna uvāca prakṛtiṁ puruṣaṁ caiva kṣetraṁ kṣetrajñaṁ eva ca etad veditum icchāmi jñānaṁ jñeyaṁ ca keśava [Bg. 13.1]" So four questions. Arjuna wanted to know from Kṛṣṇa the answers of four questions. First,

Śrī bhagavān uvāca. It is not said here, Ka uvāca, bhagavān uvāca, because the meaning of Ka is Bhagavān and Bhagavān means Ka. Kas tu bhagavān svayam. In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, all the incarnations of the Lord, the main incarnations, Sûta Gosvāmi has explained them in detail and at the end is concluding that, all the names of the Lord that, I have mentioned, rāmādi-mûrtiu kalā-niyamena tihan, the Lord has innumerable incarnations Rāma, Nsiha, Varāha, etc. Ete cāa-kalā pusa, some of them are plenary partial expansions of the Lord and the others are expansions of the expansions, of the Lord. The expansion of the expansion is called kalā. The original Bhagavān, Kas tu bhagavān svayam.. God Himself is Ka. One who is a-aisvarya-pûra-bhagavān is Ka.

Prabhupāda: Society has lost this saṁskāra process; therefore they remain in the animal platform. Janmanā jāyate śūdra saṁskārad bhaved dvijaḥ. When a person is born even in human society, he remains a śūdra. Śūdra means almost like animal. Now he has to be reformed. That is called saṁskāra. Then twice-born. The first-class twice-born is brāhmaṇa. Second-class twice-born is kṣatriya. And third-class twice-born is the vaiśya. And remaining, who cannot be reformed, they remain śūdra. But there is cooperation between brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, śūdra, and the society makes progress simultaneously for everyone. That is human society. At the present moment mostly all of them remain śūdras or less…, caṇḍālas. So how there can be any peace? It is not possible. There is no brāhmaṇa, no kṣatriya, maybe a few vaiśyas only. They are also half-reformed. And European culture, that is caṇḍāla culture, yavana culture. There is no reformation, no brāhmaṇa, no kṣatriya, no vaiśyas, simply śūdras and caṇḍālas. Mostly caṇḍālas. So Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is means for thoroughly overhauling the whole human society. [aside:] Hare Kṛṣṇa. Thank you.

So counteraction. This is military science. Sāma Veda, Yajur Veda, Atharva Veda, and military science also, one of the part of the Vedas, Dhanur Veda. It is called Dhanur Veda—how to utilize dhanuḥ. Dhanuḥ means bow and arrows. Similarly Āyur Veda. Āyur Veda means medical science, how to protect the āyuḥ, because the body is perishable. So in the Vedic knowledge, everything is there to guide the human society. It is stated in the beginning of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, nigama-kalpa-taror galitaṁ phalam idam. Nigama means Veda, and that is kalpa-taru. Nigama kalpa-taror galitaṁ phalam idam. It is compared with the tree. What kind of tree? Desire tree. Nigama-kalpa-taroḥ. Kalpa-taru. The kalpa-taru can be found in the spiritual world, not in this material world. The spiritual world is described in the Brahma-saṁhitā. What is that? Kalpa-taru, cintāmaṇi kalpa-taru. Cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-taru. In the spiritual world, Goloka Vṛndāvana, it is described that the houses, palaces, in that land, spiritual land, Goloka Vṛndāvana, is made of cintāmaṇi, cintāmaṇi kalpa-taru.
