Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.

The following is a transcription of powerful instructive class given by our beloved spiritual master H H Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj in Rajkot on 6th December 2005.

1. Don't neglect the scriptures: The instructions given in scriptures is Vedic seal. It is not just the teaching. It is a seal (protection). Otherwise Vedic people were not mad. These Mohammedans also have taken some principles from the Vedic culture and they are very strong about this. Even now, they are really very particular about these things. So, the agitation in the community is completely absent then. And, even then, the television, etc. all these things are agitating us. Continuous agitation is there. And how to save ourselves from this, is our great problem. And that way it becomes impossible if we don't control ourselves. You don't come to your senses; you are daily losing your celibacy. And then you try to concentrate on scriptures; there is no concentration. You can't chant; you can't do anything. You are just worse than animals. Animals have sex …may be monkeys have sex 30 times a day. But if he's had the sex he is agitated; otherwise he is not agitated. But we are less than a monkey. We are always agitated. Please don't do these things. And this is the most important thing to be followed. Nowadays our scriptures are neglected completely. Those scoundrels from West, they had unlimited sex. They don't stick to one wife. So those scoundrels told us that your scriptures are mythology. And we believed. They think that it is a concocted thing; it is not possible. Everything IS possible. Since last crores of years, millions of years, all our people are following these things. Why it is not possible now? Then we give the Kali Yuga excuse. It is not the excuse. It is just our convenience. We simply say,"Kali Yuga! What to do!" It is up to us whether to remain in Kali Yuga or to remain in Satya Yuga. You please don't blame others or the age. Don't be foolish to blame the age. It is very convenient for us to blame the age. Don't do it at all.

If you want to come to your senses, come under the roof of Prabhupada. If you don't want, get out and get destroyed. No mercy! Very strong. ye hi samsparsa-ja bhoga duḥkha-yonaya eva te. This touching sensation is the yoni – the womb of misery. From the womb, the janma is there. From the embryo, the living entity is produced. This is the embryo of miseries. The miseries are produced. duhkha-yonaya. You please study the scriptures. Our own words are there. yoni. These people can't understand yoni. Yoni means continuously it is born; the miseries are born – just touching sensation. This touching is very pleasing, but this sensation is producing duhkha-yoni. I want to sit here for all the day because it is very pleasing. Then, I lose walking. I lose the austerity. And then I can't stretch my legs, and I have arthritis, and that and this – because this touching sensation is there. Please, any touching sensation is the womb of the misery. It should be only taken for a limited purpose i.e. dharmaviruddho bhuteshu kamo 'smi bharatarshabha. Please study Bhagavad Gita. Kamah asmi, "That lust which is according to the regulative principles, I am", He says. That is Krishna. Otherwise, no. To produce a living entity, you don't even require five minutes. If Krishna is kind, within five minutes you can produce the living entity. And once the woman conceives, then again you should not unite again. Conception is there, the embryo will grow – that's it. That is kamo 'smi bharatrshabha. And this knowledge is completely absent in the general public. So, they run after here and there, because they don't have anything to do. There is no higher purpose in their life. Why are we ignoring these things! We are quite grown-up mature persons; why are we ignoring, man. If you don't get any wife, forget about it. That is good. Krishna decides for you not to have one. Please, but somehow or the other… the living entity is completely mad and doesn't understand.

Krishna willing, we shall continue to hear more nectar from Maharaj in the subsequent offerings.

Thank you very much.
Yours in service of Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva,
Bhupati Krishna das
