750627 Conversation - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Los Angeles
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Prabhupāda: . . . Bhāgavatam and Caitanya-caritāmṛta, anywhere you go, scholarly circle, university man, they will take. They will take. Any part of the world, it will be taken.
Rāmeśvara: Śrīla Prabhupāda, in the Madhya-līlā it describes Lord Caitanya taking His tour in the south of India. So I was thinking that there are so many photographs. Prabhupāda: You can insert. Rāmeśvara: In the middle of the book we will have an insert just of the places Lord Caitanya visited. Prabhupāda: Yes. Rāmeśvara: It will be like a bonus for those books. Prabhupāda: Yes. Temples in South India, yes. Kṛṣṇa will give you intelligence. As you want to serve, He will give you more intelligence. Buddhi-yogaṁ dadāmi taṁ yena mām upayānti te (BG 10.10). Teṣāṁ nityābhiyuktānām (BG 9.22). Bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam. Rāmeśvara: It depends on Nitāi working fast. Prabhupāda: Yes. Rāmeśvara: With the books coming out at one time, even the devotees cannot afford to buy them all. Seventeen books at one time, Jayatīrtha! Most of the temples don't read Caitanya-caritāmṛta as part of their regular study. They usually read the Bhāgavatam in the morning . . . Prabhupāda: Let them read whatever they like. Let them read. They must read something." |
