The Highest Success in Life | Chapter 4 Verse 18 | Lecture By Srila Prabhupada
Srila Prabhupada
******************
Srila Prabhupada was born in Calcutta (now Kolkata) on 1 September 1896 in a Suvarna Banik family abd he was the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) commonly known as the "Hare Krishna movement".
Srila Prabhupada(His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada) entered the port of New York City on September 17, 1965, few Americans took notice - but he was not merely another immigrant.
He was on a mission to introduce an ancient religion, which originated in India, into mainstream America. B
efore Srila Prabhupada passed away on November 14, 1977, at the age of 81, his mission proved successful.
He had founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and saw it grow into a worldwide confederation of more than 100 temples, ashrams and cultural centers.
rila Prabhupada was born Abhay Charan De on September 1, 1896, to a pious Hindu family in Calcutta. As a youth growing up in British-controlled India, Abhay became involved with Mahatma Gandhi’s civil disobedience movement to secure independence for his nation.
It was, however, a 1922 meeting with a prominent scholar and religious leader, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, which proved most influential on Abhay’s future calling.
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta was a leader in the Gaudiya Vaishnava denomination, a monotheistic tradition within the broad Hindu culture, and asked Abhay to bring the teachings of Lord Krishna to the English-speaking world.
Abhay became a disciple of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta in 1933, and resolved to carry out his mentor’s request.
Abhay, later known by the honorific A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, spent the next 32 years preparing for his journey to west.
In 1965, at the age of sixty-nine, Srila Prabhupada travelled to New York City aboard a cargo ship. The journey was treacherous, and the elderly spiritual teacher suffered two heart attacks aboard ship.
Arriving in the United States with just seven dollars in Indian rupees and his translations of sacred Sanskrit texts, Srila Prabhupada began to share the timeless wisdom of Krishna consciousness.
His message of peace and goodwill resonated with many young people, some of whom came forward to become serious students of the Krishna tradition. With the help of these students, Srila Prabhupada rented a small storefront on New York’s Lower East Side to use as a temple.
On July 11, 1966, he officially registered his organization in the state of New York, formally founding the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
In the eleven years that followed, Srila Prabhupada circled the globe 14 times on lecture tours, bringing the teachings of Lord Krishna to thousands of people on six continents.
Men and women from all backgrounds and walks of life came forward to accept his message, and with their help, Srila Prabhupada established ISKCON centers and projects throughout the world.
Under his inspiration, Krishna devotees established temples, rural communities, educational institutions, and started what would become the world’s largest vegetarian food relief program.
With the desire to nourish the roots of Krishna consciousness in its home, Srila Prabhupada returned to India several times, where he sparked a revival in the Vaishnava tradition. In India, he opened dozens of temples, including large centers in the holy towns of Vrindavana and Mayapur.
Srila Prabhupada’s most significant contributions, perhaps, are his books. He authored over 70 volumes on the Krishna tradition, which are highly respected by scholars for their authority, depth, fidelity to the tradition, and clarity.
Several of his works are used as textbooks in numerous college courses. His writings have been translated into 76 languages. His most prominent works include: Bhagavad-gita As It Is, the 30-volume Srimad-Bhagavatam, and the 17-volume Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita.
Srila Prabhupada left his body on 14 November 1977 in Vrindavana.

Why We Stay in the Material World The following conversation between His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and some of his disciples took place in July 1975 on an early-morning walk in Los Angeles. Disciple: Srila Prabhupada, what is the qualification for going to the spiritual world? Srila Prabhupada: The first qualification is to always remember that this material world is a place of misery (duhkhalayam). Then you can go to the spiritual world. As long as you think, “Oh, this material world is very nice,” you have to remain here. Disciple: Yesterday in your lecture you gave the example of Queen Kunti, who prayed that calamities would happen to her again and again so that she would realize what a terrible place this material world is and remember Krishna. Srila Prabhupada: Yes, this is intelligence. When one concludes, “This material world is worthless,” that is real knowledge. As long as one thinks, “No, it is not always bad; sometimes it is very good,” that is ignorance. Disciple: I often meet people who say that without the bad, the good wouldn’t be as good. Srila Prabhupada: That is the logic of the criminal who is dunked into water as a punishment. The authorities catch him and put him down into the water, and when he is nearly suffocated they raise him a little and he says, “Ohhh, this is so nice!” But then he is immediately pushed down into the water again. So the good and bad of this material world are like that. People are put into the water and suffocated, and when they are taken out a little they say, “Ahhhh, this world is very nice.” The rascals do not know that the next moment they are going to nearly drown. So unless we remember how suffocating the material world is, we are not fit for going back to Godhead. We must completely detest this world. If we keep just a little attachment for it-“Oh, sometimes it is very good here”-we have to remain. Disciple: Is it true that Krishna will take everything away from a devotee who still has some material attachment? Srila Prabhupada: That is Krishna’s special favor. That is not an ordinary favor. When Krishna sees that His devotee is maintaining some material attachment, He says, “This fool wants Me, but at the same time he wants to stay in the material world. So let Me take away all his material possessions so that he will want only Me.” This was done to me; I have practical experience. I did not want to take sannyasa [the renounced order of life]; I thought I would do business. But Krishna forced me to take sannyasa, and my business was dismantled. Disciple: Srila Prabhupada, does Krishna engage the material nature to beat us and kick us so that we will surrender to Him? Srila Prabhupada: Yes. Material nature’s only business is beating us and kicking us. But we are so foolish that we think, “This kicking is very nice.” That is our disease-we accept the kicking as very nice. We are always suffering three kinds of disturbances: adhyatmika, adhibhautika, and adhidaivika. These are disturbances caused by our own body and mind, disturbances caused by other living entities, and disturbances caused by the demigods, like severe weather or famine. We are always suffering from some disturbance, yet still we are thinking this material world is very nice, and we are trying to improve it. That is foolishness. The disturbances will always continue, so what is the meaning of improvement? For example, now the scientists are trying to make some improvement in agricultural production. But how long will this improvement last? If there is no rainfall how will all their “improvements” help? The rainfall is not in their hands; that is adhidaivika: it depends on the demigods. If the demigods want, they can completely stop the rain. So what is all this nonsensical “improvement”? Krishna says this material world is a place that is meant for misery. So how will you improve it? “Yes,” the scientists say, “we are advancing. In the future people will live eternally; nobody will die.” This is folly, illusion. People who are trying to do something that is impossible are fools, mudhas. Their mentality is like that of the ass. The master sits on the back of the ass and hangs a bunch of grass in front of him. The ass thinks, “I’ll get it,” and walks on and on. “If I just walk a little forward,” he thinks, “I shall get the grass.” He has no brain to see that he’ll never get the grass, that as he is moving the grass is also moving. So, the scientists are just like the ass. They do not see how foolish their “improvements” are. For example, now we have manufactured so many airplanes. It was thought, “Within two hours we shall be able to go many hundreds of miles. This is very nice.” But there are so many dangers in an airplane. Now there is the problem of how to protect us from accidents. So what is the improvement? The improvement is that now two hundred men at a time can die all together. This is the improvement. What a horrible civilization! Disciple: But someone may say, “You say this is a horrible civilization. So why don’t you withdraw from it? Why don’t you live by yourselves on a farm somewhere instead of in the cities, using the same cars and airplanes that we use?” Srila Prabhupada: People are suffering for want of Krishna consciousness, so we are trying to make them Krishna conscious. That is our only interest in the material world. Otherwise, we have no interest in staying here. We are not social workers or political workers: we are Krishna’s workers. We advise people: “Become Krishna conscious and all your problems will be solved.” That is our duty-to advise them, to convince them, to give them all facilities to become Krishna conscious. But if they still do not take the medicine, what can be done? They will go on suffering. These rascals who have the idea that by “improvements” they will be happy in this material world-they will never understand Krishna consciousness.
