Lectures

Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

Just like in this planet also, in some portion of this world there are savages, uncivilized persons, and in some portion of the world there are civilized persons.
Lecture on SB 5.5.1 -- Tittenhurst, London, September 12, 1969: They are God conscious. Every, in every planet the living entities or human being, they are of different grades. Just like in this planet also, in some portion of this world there are savages, uncivilized persons, and in some portion of the world there are civilized persons, intelligent persons, God conscious persons, as there are different grades of persons in this planet, similarly, there are different grades of beings, living beings or human beings, in different other planets. The higher and lower grades are calculated in terms of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Prabhupāda: We don't take any experience from the primitive savages. That is not paramparā. Savages cannot give us any advice or instruction.
