Srila Prabhupada was a perfect acarya who was concerned with ALL ASPECTS of men's well-being in the world. He was not merely teaching a handful of students how to transcend, he was practical and wished well-being on all levels for all, and intended us to implement his wishes in full; here is some proof; Srila Prabhupada;

"It is not that our Krsna consciousness movement is one of the so many movements. No. It is the only one movement that can give
peace and life and prosperity to the people."

Sound is merely a series of vibrational waves of condensation and rarefication of particles not always even with set-intervals/phases, carried forward by a degree of energy, originating with the source. So even there, we see the basic principle of energy and energetic, and we the jivas experience this subjectively as sound.

Even if the human apparatus is damaged, a hearing aid, for example, can have them hearing once again. So, there is a capacity to sense which seems inherent. Such a capacity, to me, indicates likelihood of a higher or even Supreme source of sound, ie the components are complex and interrelated; capacity sensation energy and energetic. Without taking the whole gestalt into account, you have merely a component. Therefore as there is much extremely organized information involved in "sound", all this suggests purpose and meaning, the value of relationship(s)

A Physiologic Consideration in the Practise of Nama-Japa Aloud versus In-the-mind only. ;

Certainly, in terms of brain structures, the language processing is going in both cases, and it may be that much higher imagining and even soul transfer ultimately also do go on via the pure mana-mandira, temple of the mind, still, only when speaking and hearing are the muscles, spinal / cranial nerves both sending and receiving, energy-delivering systems going, respiration patterns carry on, connections between sound and sensation and speaking centres occurr, seven levels of inner ear neurons and processors act, and full integration and comprehension capacites are actively involved.

The brain is plastic in many ways, and will grow and expand to specialize in the daily tasks; so over time, one becomes an athlete physically as well as by intent, of the chanting processes.

i completely agreed we should become good maha rati like the five pandava. the war is with maya sukaya, the flickring happiness, and the arya race which is the perfect race, know very well how to fight according to the teaching of the mahajana like BHISMA-DEVA etc...

Patricia Therese Wolff-Keaton; Parvati dd, acbssp, Bh.S.; Yes, a lot of it IS due to the fake sannyasis. Celibacy is held as the highest ideal, when in actuality, family life is it. Celibacy was for when we get old, so old we never think of sex (is there such an age?).

You have a lot of double-talking when it comes to sex and KC. Women are blamed for making brahmacaries "fall-down". Brahmacarya is only supposed to last til marriage, when the bramacari becomes a grhastha. Family life is demonized in GBC KC because parents would rather raise their family than deal with GBC bullshit such as (Get out and make us money!!!!).

Hera Pancami Festival—An Eyewitness Account

The following entry comes from my year 2000 diary, when I attended the Hera Pancami festival in Jagannatha Puri which took place late at night during ratri-kala (10:48 p.m.-3:36 a.m.). Laksmi-devi rode on a palanquin from Sri Mandira to Gundica Mandira to ask Jagannatha Swami why He had not returned yet. Seeing Laksmi-devi coming down the street with an angry look in her eyes, Jagannatha Swami quickly locked her out of the Gundica Mandira.

Laksmi-devi became furious at this and passed some sarcastic remarks (voiced by the pujaris) saying, “Hey Pati (husband)! You have become more attracted to Your sister Subhadra than me? Is that why You locked me out of the Gundica?” Laksmi-devi’s maidservants (the pujaris carrying her) feel insulted and express their anger by breaking off some wood from Lord Jagannatha’s chariot.

Laksmi-devi avoided the direct route via Grand Road, and returned to the Jagannatha Mandira via Her

Lord Balarāma, who is also known as Saṅkarṣaṇa, began to fight with His club in such a heroic way that the river of blood created by Kṛṣṇa overflooded. Those who were cowards became very much afraid upon seeing the ghastly and horrible scene, and those who were heroes began to talk delightedly among themselves about the heroism of the two brothers. Although Jarāsandha was equipped with a vast ocean of military strength, the fighting of Lord Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma converted the whole situation into a ghastly scene which was far beyond ordinary fighting. Persons of ordinary mind cannot estimate how it could be possible, but when such activities are accepted as pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, under whose will everything is possible, then this can be understood. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is creating, maintaining and dissolving the cosmic manifestation by His will only. For Him to create such a vast scene of devastation while fighting with an enemy is not so wonderful.

"The duty of the king or the head of the government is described very nicely in this verse. It is the duty of the governmental head to see that people strictly follow a religious life. A king should also be strict in chastising the atheists. In other words, an atheistic or godless government should never be supported by a king or governmental chief. That is the test of good government. In the name of secular government, the king or governmental head remains neutral and allows people to engage in all sorts of irreligious activities. In such a state people cannot be happy, despite all economic development. However, in this Age of Kali there are no pious kings. Instead, rogues and thieves are elected to head the government. But how can the people be happy without religion and God consciousness? The rogues exact taxes from the citizens for their own sense enjoyment, and in the future the people will be so much harassed that according to Srimad-Bhagavatam they will flee from their homes and
