| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "We are worshiping Govindam, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the original person. So this sound, govindam Adi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi, is reaching Him. He is hearing. You cannot say that He is not hearing. Can you say? No. Especially in this scientific age, when television, radio messages are broadcast thousands and thousands of miles away, and you can hear, now why can you...? Why Kṛṣṇa cannot hear your prayer, sincere prayer? How can you say it? Nobody can deny it." |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Just like thousands and thousands miles away you can transfer the television picture or your radio sound, similarly, if you can prepare yourself, then you can see always Govinda. It is not difficult. This is stated in Brahma-saṁhitā, premāṣjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena. Simply you have to prepare your eyes, your mind in that way. Here is a television box within your heart. This is the perfection of yoga. It is not you have to purchase one machine, or television set. It is there, and God is also there. You can see, you can hear, you can talk, provided you have got the machine, you repair it, that's all. The repairing process is Kṛṣṇa consciousness." |

Regarding purchasing of temples, if within our means and estimation it is possible, that is a good idea. |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Once you have committed sinful activities, killing the child in the womb, 'All right, stop it now'. 'No, again.' Tṛpyanti neha kṛpana (SB 7.9.45). He's never satisfied. He knows that there is suffering behind this. Still, he'll not stop it. Therefore a sober man... A man should be educated to become sober, that 'Let me tolerate this itching, that's all. I save so much trouble'. This is knowledge. To become rascal and more rascal, more rascal and suffer, is that civilization? Simply to make the people rascal and suffer and commit suicide? Just tell them that he has created this civilization that suffer and become rascal. That's all. Unless you become rascal, how you will suffer? So keep them rascal and suffer. This is nature's arrangement, that 'You living entity, you have forgotten Kṛṣṇa. All right, come under my control. Be rascal, remain rascal and suffer'. Daivī hy eṣā guṇamayī mama māyā (BG 7.14). Why she is doing that? "Surrender to Kṛṣṇa. Otherwise you will go on suffering like this." This is the nature's way." |
