Prabhupada: We Vaiṣṇavas do not say that there is no need of fighting. We never say. When there is need of fighting we must fight. Rather, somebody in New York, some Goldsmith, he was that, 'Why Krishna is advising Arjuna to fight, to become violent?'
So somebody protests like that. But there is no meaning of protesting against the action of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is our view. So we Vaiṣṇavas, we are chanting.
It does not mean that when there is need of fighting with avaiṣṇava (non-vaishnava) we shall lack in strength. We can fight. One gentleman inquired from me that 'Vaiṣṇavism makes one dull. He cannot act.' And, 'No. You have not seen a Vaiṣṇava.' In the two fightings, great fighting, the Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata, the hero was Hanuman and Arjuna, and they fought.
Guest: They fought.
Prabhupada: Yes. And who can be better Vaiṣṇava than them?
Guest: Nobody.
Prabhupada: So Vaiṣṇava does not mean he is dull. No.
Guest: No, that is well proved. If there is need...

O Brahma, whatever appears to be of any value, if it is without relation to Me, has no reality...

We all feel spiritual life, the flow of bhakti shakti as it were, that sustains our life, that brings us aesthetic pleasure and meditative regard of great unending ever-fresh Beauty and even innocence. We may constantly worship with highest regards this Source of our life, the lotus feet. And what or Who is that Source? Even Krsna worships Her lotus feet, and the feet of His Parents. 

If we constantly respect, cherish, honor and serve this flow of nectar, understanding that it is the most precious well of life overflowing and sustaining us against an ocean of nothing, then we shall not commit offenses due to centuries of bad-conditioned mind or current occupation by demons. We are living within a vain and bewildering demon-infested plane of existence. Earth current makes total purity everywhere always next to impossible, like living in a cake filled with worms. But we can be sincere and steady in determination to serve Srila Prabhupada despite the fluctuations in the world around us, a

Those of us who are priests and brahmanas, and have taken vows of poverty; it is these very times when our true riches become manifest. The temporary earthly things do not hold a candle to the inner light and the joys of spiritual life, made accessible by renouncing excess material consumption. We lived to grow, and now relish the ripened fruits of our cultivations. Picking those fruits, we can freely distribute them to others, as much as they wish to take, as there is no limit or shortage.

Lokanātha: ...five thousand years back, until now, there's only thirty ācāryas...
Prabhupāda: Chain is broken when there are false spiritual masters. Otherwise it is not broken. Chain is broken if a so-called spiritual master speaks something manufactured. Then the chain is broken. Otherwise chain is not broken.

PRABHUPADA: If you create an artificial God, it is better that He is dead so that He cannot inflict more injuries.

SRILA PRABHUPADA: Still fight must go on. Fight cannot be stopped. So fight like brave soldiers, Kṛṣṇa will help you. Don't make any compromise . .....Devotee: The outcome of the battle is already decided. Just like in Bhagavad-gītā, we've already won. We just have to keep, keep fighting. Prabhupāda: They are now feeling the pressure of the opposite party. So fight is fight. When there is fight, my Guru Mahārāja used to say, "Some of our soldiers will die. It doesn't matter." You don't expect that not a single soldier of your party will not die. No, some of them will die. Still fight must go on. Fight cannot be stopped. So fight like brave soldiers, Kṛṣṇa will help you. Don't make any compromise." Srila Prabhupada Room Conversation February 3, 1977, Bhuvanesvara:

The following discussion is between Srila Prabhupada and Ramsevara in 1977 on train to the Kumbhamelamin festival.

Ramesvara - "Prabhupada I thought you once said that if we keep distributing books then the war can be stopped."

Prabhupada - "No. That will increase it. That will make it come faster. We want that. That is preparing the world for the fight against atheism. My books are preparing the world. This war is inevitable. If they are reluctant to fight we will force them to".

They are preparing the world, war is inevitable, if they are reluctant to fight we will force them to."

Krsna became famous by killing demons . He has two businesses. After we have secured America we will use everything in Krsna 's service, even atom bombs. 'Surrender to Krsna or else we will drop this atom bomb', the war is inevitable, there is no way it can be stopped"

In Kṛṣṇa consciousness we are getting sufficient money, but we should never think that the money belongs to us; it belongs to the Supreme Personality of Godhead and should be equally distributed to the workers, the devotees. No devotee should claim that any money or property belongs to him. If one thinks that any portion of property of this huge universe belongs to anyone, he is to be considered a thief and is punishable by the laws of nature." - SB 8.1.10com Srila Prabhupada

Devotee: Srila Prabhupada, why has it taken so long for a pure devotee to come to the West? Has the West been so sinful that no pure devotee has come before Your Divine Grace?
Prabhupada: Don’t be sorry. At that time, you were so sinful that you could not receive a pure devotee.
Devotee: Yes. Once in a lecture a lady asked you why hadn’t you come sooner, and you just said, “Well, you weren’t ready for me.”
Prabhupada: Yes, “Because you were not ready.” Yes, I told. Yes. Now the Western boys, the descendant of the Western people, they are fortunate; therefore they receive Kṛṣṇa. Kona bhāgyavān jīva (CC Madhya 19.151). It is Kṛṣṇa’s desire that “These people are suffering so much; let some devotees come here.” So you are all devotees. You have come to join together.

(Srila Prabhupada Morning Walk, Los Angeles, December 7, 1973)

Devotee: If someone is actually sincere, can he be cheated, or will he always get a bona fide guru?
Prabhupada: No, if he is sincere, he’ll get.
Devotee: Bona

Hare Krishna!

Many arguments are made in this respect, that as long as we don't cut the animal we do not incur sin.

In the Mahabharata, there is a verse which states that one who sells the animal, one who buys the animal, one cuts the animal,one who cooks the animal, one who serves the animal and one who eats the animal, all are bound equally by the chain of Karma.

But leaving the spiritual aspect of it, anatomically, the human body is not structured to eat animal flesh. Studies have shown the length of the intestine of a tiger is 4 times the length of it's torso so when it eats flesh the toxins in the flesh are not kept for long in the intestine and are expelled at the earliest. Also the concentration of acid secreted in the stomach is so strong that it burns the bacteria in the flesh. While in the cow, the length of the intestine is 12 times it's torso and so the food takes longer time to be expelled from the body. We have seen that the incidence of the Mad Cow disease (bovine spongi

Śrīla Prabhupāda Says -

The God says that "Here is injustice, so you should fight." God says that. God never says that "I am God, Kṛṣṇa. I am your friend. You sit down idly and I shall do everything." He never said that. He said that "You must fight." That is our duty, not that God has given us hands and legs and you sit down idly and let God do it. This is not devotion.
