Prabhupāda: This is Indian culture.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: Indian culture, Gītā culture. (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: Yes. Yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati (BG 4.7). (Hindi) Whenever there are discrepancies in the human society—tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham—at that time He appears. Paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām (BG 4.8). This is the program. And when He comes, the time is fixed. So unless one thoroughly studies, they cannot accept. Actually Kṛṣṇa... Imaṁ vivasvate yogaṁ proktavān aham avyayam (BG 4.1). This system, Bhagavad-gītā, it is yoga, bhakti-yoga. Bhakti-yoga is the topmost.
- yoginām api sarveṣāṁ
- mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā
- śraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁ
- sa me yuktatamo mataḥ
- (BG 6.47)
There are many yogas. The aim is how to come to the topmost yoga. That is bhakti-yoga. And Kṛṣṇa says to Arjuna, bhakto 'si me. What is that verse? Eh? Evaṁ purātanaḥ yogaḥ.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Bhakto 'si me sakhā ceti.
Prabhupāda: Ah. Rahasyaṁ hy etad uttamam. "Because you are My bhakta and friend, therefore I am speaking to you the old system," purātanaḥ. No new system. The people now introduce new system.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: Sanātana-jñāna he. Paramparā se.
Prabhupāda: Paramparā... (Hindi)...purātanaḥ yogaḥ. They introduce their own interpretation. No... (Hindi) There is nothing required. What is that? Sa te 'haṁ yogaḥ proktaḥ purātanaḥ. Purātanaḥ. Find out.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: People of the world, they're hankering after this civilization. Unfortunately we are miser. We are not giving them...
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: All that they should get.
Prabhupāda: This is not good.
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: (Hindi)
Prabhupāda: Where is that Bhagavad-gītā?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Here, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Can you give me the verse?
Prabhupāda: Yogaḥ proktaḥ purātanaḥ. Find out the...
Śrī Nārāyaṇa: The... Here it says sixteenth (Hindi).
Prabhupāda: Fourth, fourth.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, I have the fourth chapter. I'm already in the fourth chapter.
Prabhupāda: Read from the very beginning, fourth chapter.
Śrī Bajaj(?): (Hindi)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I have the verse, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
- sa evāyaṁ mayā te 'dya
- yogaḥ proktaḥ purātanaḥ
- bhakto 'si me sakhā ceti
- rahasyaṁ hy etad uttamam
- (BG 4.3)
Fourth chapter, third verse.
Prabhupāda: (Hindi) So yogo naṣṭaḥ parantapa. Eh? Then?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Next verse?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Aparaṁ bhavato janma param... (BG 4.4)
Prabhupāda: No. Sa kālena yogo naṣṭaḥ parantapa. Read it, paramparā.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:
- evaṁ paramparā-prāptam
- imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ
- sa kāleneha mahatā
- yogo naṣṭaḥ parantapa
- (BG 4.2)
Prabhupāda: Ah. Purātana, the old system... (Hindi) Yogo naṣṭaḥ purā..., sa kāleneha naṣṭaḥ. (Hindi)
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You have a very nice purport here, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Hm. Read it?
