Interviewer: Exactly what is Krishna consciousness? Could you tell us more?

Interviewer, August 1976: […] Exactly what is Krishna consciousness? Could you tell us more?

Srila Prabhupada: Love of God–that is Krishna consciousness. If you have not learned to love God, then what is the meaning of your religion? When you are actually on the platform of love of God, you understand your relationship with God –“I am part and parcel of God.” Then you extend your love to the animal, also.

If you actually love God, then your love for the insect is also there. You understand, “This insect has a different body, but he is also part and parcel of my father; therefore, he is my brother.” Then you cannot maintain a slaughterhouse. If you maintain a slaughterhouse and disobey the order of Christ, “Thou shalt not kill,” and you proclaim yourself Christian or Hindu, that is not religion.

Then it is simply a waste of time–because you do not understand God; you have no love for God, and you are labeling yourself under some sect, but there is no real religion. That is going on all over the world.

Interviewer: How can we cure the situation?

Srila Prabhupada: Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If you do not accept that Krishna is the supreme entity, then try to understand. That is education: there is someone supreme; Krishna is not Indian; He is God.

The sun rises first in India, but that does not mean that the sun is Indian; similarly, although Krishna appeared in India, now He has come to the Western countries, through this Krishna consciousness movement.”

    agtACBSP,

    but what religion and religion as we can see what is still going on nowadays in this biped planet in the name of religion therefore we don’t want any religion because that’s still material we got the SANATANA DHARMA which is the bed of all the religions therefore it’s beyond all the rascaldom of religions and they can never say i lose or i lost my religion because we can say we never lose our SANATANA DHARMA therefore if they lose they religions we never lose it because we are beyond all the dirty religions especially in kali yuga which is like a big bin full of rubbish coming in from so many dirty places and unworthy disciples of SRILA PRABHUPADA too who are increasing that rubbish bin by adding all their flesh stools too therefore we don’t want even fake followers of the SANATANA DHARMA as jas as gkg as bcs etc…they are just a great disgrace for this uncivilized citizens of this kali chelas age because they keep to betray our guru maharaj HDG ACBSP,as we already know there are a lot of cheaters in this unwanted cheated material world and they are in the guise of devotees as well who are exploiting SRILA PRABHUPADA position disciples and material wealth,

    SP said very often that religion means to know god and to love HIM that’s the real SANATANA DHARMA to go back to our original spiritual bodies by becoming the same spiritual quality of SRI KRSNA the SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM say that our eternal relationship with SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA is like the relation between the water and the liquid they are never separate because to think that they are separate is MAHA MAYA therefore the SANATANA DHARMA is that transcendental platform where everything can be see as it is as HDG ACBSP used to see,of course we are still blind compare to the perfect vision of SRILA PRABHUPADA but f-iskcon is even more blind then us but we are happy to keep to meditate on the exalted VANI SEVA of SRILA PRABHUPADA because by doing it all life long we can get promoted to the mukta sanga param vrajet
