Custom of Love | Lecture Los Angeles

Srila Prabhupada, Los Angeles, April 14, 1973 — Pankaja means lotus flower. Panka means mud, and ja means generate. Pankaja, the lotus flower, is so important. Still, it is generated from mud. So Krishna likes pankaja very much, lotus flower. So if we see lotus flower, we can immediately remember Krishna. Just like if you love your child, if you see any garment, a small ship, shoes or any play things, immediately you remember your child: “Oh, this is my child’s shoes.

This is my child’s playing things. This is my garment.” So it is the custom of love.
If you actually love God, Krishna, then you can remember Him at any time, always, always. There is no difficulty. Here Kuntidevi describes pankaja, with reference to lotus flower.Full Lecture
