			<content:encoded><![CDATA[(Told by Ramesvara Dasa)
1976 New York Rathayatra festival was glorious. Fifth Avenue! Prabhupada&#8217;s
lecture was great, everything about the festival was great. There was some
crazy, mad Christian who had been following us the whole route, holding the
sign. We were all annoyed because he was shouting out, &#8220;Repent sinners!
Pagan religion!&#8221; The whole thing. So when Prabhupada was on the stage, in
the middle of the &#8230; It was a cement park. It wasn&#8217;t grass. There was this
pool and the guy stood on the ledge that bordered the whole pool and with
his sign was shouting and screaming and Prabhupada was on the stage. One boy
just became overwhelmed. This person is offending Prabhupada. Right in front
of Prabhupada he&#8217;s doing this. And he just took off like a football fullback
or tackler and with a full charge i And we were all on the stage with
Prabhupada and we were watching it. Prabhupada was watching it and his
devotees were watching it. The devotee just didn&#8217;t slow down as he
approached the person, but he picked up speed, held his arms in front of him
like a football tackle and just rammed into him and the guy went flying in
the air backwards and landed on his back in the pool and we all saw it. We
looked at Prabhupada and Prabhupada beamed, he smiled.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Anyone can become advanced. &#8220;Advanced&#8221; means that at least you should
understand that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If you simply
understand this &#8212; that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead &#8212; then
you are advanced. It is not very difficult. All Vedic literatures are meant
for understanding Krsna. What is that understanding? That Krsna is the
Supreme Personality of Godhead. If you become convinced of this, your study
of the Vedas is complete.
In the Bhagavad-gita [7.7] Krsna says, mattah parataram nanyat kincid asti
dhananjaya: &#8220;My dear Arjuna, there is no authority or person or truth
superior to Me.&#8221; If you simply have faith in these words of Krsna&#8217;s, you
become advanced in Krsna consciousness. You may believe blindly or after
careful study. It doesn&#8217;t matter. Whether you touch fire blindly or
purposely, it will act. Similarly, even if you blindly accept Krsna as the
Supreme Person, you become advanced. Take it from me: if you simply have
this conviction &#8212; &#8220;Yes, Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead&#8221; &#8212; you
are an advanced student in spiritual life.
BTG 23-05, 1988, redacted from Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s lecture on Sri
Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila 1.1 &#8212; Mayapur, March 25, 1975

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Krsna is not different from His words. That is absolute. What Krsna said
five thousand years ago, if you catch up those words again you&#8217;re
immediately connected with Krsna, immediately. This is the process. Just see
Arjuna. He says, evam cintayato jisnoh krsna-pada-saroruham. When he began
to think of Krsna and His instruction as&#8230;, in the battlefield, immediately
he become santa, peaceful. Immediately pacified. This is the process. We
have got intimate relationship with Krsna, eternally. It is not artificial.
Therefore if you keep ourself always connected with Krsna, there will be no
more disturbance. Peaceful. Yam labdhva caparam labham manyate nadhikam
tatah. If you get that position, then that is the highest benefit, highest
gain, yam labdhva ca, then you will not desire for any other gain. You&#8217;ll
perceive that I have got the highest gain. Yam labdhva caparam labham
manyate nadhikam tatah, yasmin sthitah&#8230; And if you keep yourself fixed up
in that position, then gurunapi duhkhena na [Bg. 6.20-23], even the heaviest
type of calamities, you&#8217;ll not be disturbed. That is peace. That is peace.
Not that little pinching, you&#8217;re disturbed. If you&#8217;re actually fixed up in
Krsna consciousness, you&#8217;ll not be disturbed in the greatest form of
dangerous condition. That is the perfection of Krsna consciousness.
&#62;&#62;&#62; Ref. VedaBase =&#62; Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.15.28 &#8212; Los Angeles, December 6,
1973

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[(Told by Ramesvara Dasa)
&#8230; we also had major discussions about the Sanskrit department. The gist of
the discussions were to what degree are we going to have our young children
trained up in Sanskrit by our so called Sanskrit pandits in the gurukulas.
And to what extent are we going to allow these Sanskrit men to translate on
their own? These men had a great desire to translate. Now in 1976 and &#8217;77
Prabhupada had already detected a lot of impurity in these men. In fact he
said &#8220;a little Sanskrit knowledge is very very dangerous.&#8221; Men who know a
little Sanskrit consider themselves to be more intelligent than anyone else.
Prabhupada said, &#8220;This disease will ultimately culminate in these men
thinking that they are more intelligent than their spiritual master.&#8221; And in
fact, two of the leading Sanskrit men, Nitai das and Jagannath das became so
contaminated by their false pride that they began to think that Prabhupada
was making mistakes in the Sanskrit and Bengali work and they were
correcting them. They weren&#8217;t thinking in a devotional way, that &#8220;my
spiritual master is allowing me to serve him. He is deliberately creating a
service for me because I am so fallen he is engaging me.&#8221; But no. They
thought, &#8220;We are more intelligent than Prabhupada.&#8221; They actually began to
think like that. Prabhupada had detected this impurity from the very
beginning and he knew that a little Sanskrit knowledge was very dangerous.
Prabhupada also told me that regarding the qualification for translating, it
is not good enough that you know Sanskrit by using a dictionary. He said the
real qualification in terms of any translation is that you have to be able
to speak the language conversationally. This was apart from the exalted
spiritual qualifiations that are described in the Caitanya-caritamrta that a
translator has to be God realized. What to speak of being God realized, he
has to be able to speak conversationally the language. Then Prabhupada went
on to explain to us that to learn Sanskrit grammar, gradually vocabulary,
and finally be able to speak it conversationally will take ten to twenty
years of hard, intensive work. Prabhupada encouraged it, he wanted men to
become expert in Sanskrit. But he was also giving safeguards, guidelines and
so on.
