Authorized and Empowered
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda is a self-realized, pure devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa. While physically present among us he shared the essence of Vedic knowledge liberally and without prejudice. His only desire was to fulfill his spiritual master's desire – to introduce the process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness to the world.
Śrīla Prabhupāda showed us the importance of living life according to the directions given in scripture. He spoke and wrote profusely so that many may have this guidance in life, and he wished that every person on the planet had the opportunity to read his books now and in the future.
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"Somehow or other the finger is cut off, and it is falling on the ground; it has no value. My finger, when it is cut off and it is lying on the ground, it has no value. But, as soon as the finger is joined with this body, it has got millions and trillions of dollars' value. Invaluable. Similarly, we are now disconnected with God, or Kṛṣṇa, by this material condition. Forget... Not disconnected. Connection is there. God is supplying our all necessities. Just like a state prisoner is disconnected from the civil department; he has come to the criminal department. Actually not disconnected. The government is still taking care, but legally disconnected. Similarly, we are not disconnected. We cannot be disconnected, because there is no existence of anything without Kṛṣṇa. So how can I be disconnected? Disconnection is that by forgetting Kṛṣṇa, instead of engaging myself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, I am engaged in so many nonsense consciousness. That is disconnection." |
