Therefore, the breaking of the santana-dharma
tradition by irresponsible leaders of society brings
about chaos in that society, and consequently
people forget the aim of lifeViu. Such leaders
are called blind, and persons who follow such
leaders are sure to be led into chaos.

Boil The Milk
We may thin the milk till it becomes useless, or
we may boil it until it becomes thick and sweet,
so now we have got enough followers, let us train
them up perfectly in the philosophy and activities
of Krishna Consciousness way of life. Unless all
of my students become very much fixed up in
their spiritual progress, what is the use of so
many programs for expansion?

Unity in Diversity
If we keep Krishna in the center, then there will
be agreement in varieties. This is called unity in
diversity But, if we fight on account of diversity,then it is
simply the material platform. Please try
to maintain the philosophy of unity in diversity.
That will make our movement successful.(SPL to Kirtanananda,
