My View on Raja-Yoga
I am surprised at the condemnation of other methods of Yoga, especially Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga. Are these methods not as divine as BHAKTI Yoga?... (Letter from Nikhil Navare)

Krishna: Monism or Duealism?
I was debating something for quite some time and I was wondering if you could help me out. Does Krishna preach monism(the universe is one big manifestation of God and the idea of a personal God is replaced by this universe) or dualism (the idea that this universe is pervaded by the Lord but also seperate from Him.) I would greatly greatly appereciate an answer back. This has been on my mind for a long time and I am suffering greatly from the inability to get an answer. God bless whoever returns this message. Jacob. (Letter from Madhudvisa dasa)

It Has Always Been Clear to Me that Prabhuapda's Books Should Never be Changed...
It has always been clear for me that Prabhupada's books should never be changed, specially once they were edited and accepted by their author, who used them himself to lecture while present. That is why I am keeping the original version of Bhagavad Gita (1975 MacMillan) and not reading from other editions. The message is so clear when you read Srila Prabhupada's original but when I try to read from the most recent version in some cases the verses, although once familiar to me, become quite unclear.

Lord Vamanadeva, Bali Maharaja and His Non-Bona Fide Guru
Bali Maharaja is Mahajana because he wanted to serve Visnu by disobeying his non-bonafide spiritual master... one should be anxious to accept a spiritual master who is bona fide in spiritual knowledge. And if need be one should relinquish the connection of hereditary spiritual master and accept a real bona fide spiritual master. Related Articles (Letter from Srila Prabhupada)

Why should you remarry? Rather you should take sannyasa...
There is a certain kind of laddu which has such a taste, that anyone who has tasted it once, he laments, oh how I would like to taste again. And anyone who has never tasted, he also laments, oh I have never tasted. So one who has tasted, and one who has not tasted, both are lamenting. Wife is like that.

You are not eternally conditioned. You are eternally liberated...
Yes, Lord Jesus was jiva-tattva. He is not Visnu tattva. When a jiva-tattva becomes specifically empowered by the Lord, he is called saktyavesa avatara. Lord Buddha and Lord Jesus Christ were in this group of saktyavesa avatara.. But they were not in conditioned state when they appeared; they came to teach here. (Letter from Srila Prabhupada)

Love In the Material World
Regarding love affairs in the material world: they are only shadows or reflections of the real love with Krishna.

Is There a Place for Speculation in Krishna Consciousness?
If philosophical speculation is directed by Sastra and Guru, and if the goal of such philosophical attempts is to achieve Visnu, then that philosophical speculation is not mental speculation. (Letter from Srila Prabhupada)

Prabhupada's Godbrothers AVOID THEM! [Gaudiya Matha]
My Godbrothers have no life for preaching work. All are satisfied with a place for residence in the name of a temple, they engage disciples to get foodstuff by transcendental devices and eat and sleep. They have no idea or brain how to broacast the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Related Articles (Letter from Srila Prabhupada)

Letter to Scientist -- Life Comes From Life
If we can prove that life comes from life, or the soul is from the supper soul, then all other things can be brought into serious consideration. So you try to prove that chemical combination can never bring about life, this is our main argument. If we can prove this, gradually we can prove that vedic knowledge is perfect.

Turn the Churches Into Temples...
Gradually you should buy all the churches and make them into temples. There are so many churches actually they should give us these churches free, if they were God-conscious. But they are sectarian. (Letter from Srila Prabhupada)

Letter: Scientists Vast Research and Display of Intelligence Misplaced
We are discussing Darwin and other scientists. Because they have missed the central point that we are not the controllers of nature, rather we are controlled by nature, and because they do not see that there is a Supreme Controller, therefore their vast research and display of intelligence is only so much waste of time. (Letter from Srila Prabhupada)

Democratic Government
The so called democratic government means some of the sudras, rascals without any knowledge of the highest aim of life. By hook and crook they get some votes and get the responsible chair in government. Naturally they can whimsically enact any law which is against the interest of the people in general.

The International Congress for Cultivating Human Spirit, Japan 1961.
Present advancement of material civilization, in the opinion of the Indian sages, is going in the wrong way because it has neglected the spiritual side of human constitution.

If I see our leaders are enthusiastic, that gives me more enthusiasm.
You propose to induce the American people to surrender to Lord Caitanya by expansion of book distribution, that is wanted. When you come to that, that is success. Then you can take charge of the government. And, as soon as in America the Krsna conscious boys are in power the whole world will be changed. (Letter from Srila Prabhupada)

Srila Prabhupada's books Should Not be changed!
Post-disappearance editorial revisions by conditioned sould to the sacred, memorialized realizations of an exalted Acarya are nothing less than crude, insulting and offensive. Yet, this is precisely what has taken place for two decades and continues to take place by those who, ironically, have a special spiritual duty to preserve Srila Prabhupada's literary legacy at all cost.

Brahmana Means Pandita. Therefore I Am Suggesting Examinations.
I have also suggested for the GBC's consideration, that we introduce a system of examinations for the devotees to take. Sometimes there is criticism that our men are not sufficiently learned, especially the brahmanas. (Letter from Srila Prabhupada)
