Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

We are after some fame. I want to be famous, you want to be famous, but we are famous in a circle—in a circle, in a country, in a society. But nobody is famous like Kṛṣṇa. You see? Nobody is famous like Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa approached, advented Himself on this earth five thousand years before, but just see how much famous He is still.

So śrī-bhagavān uvāca. Now, Bhagavān, the Personality of Godhead . . . we have several times described the definition of bhagavān. Bhagavān means one who has got complete control over six things. He is Bhagavān. He is God. What are those six things? Now, aiśvaryasya samagrasya: complete riches, and vīryasya samagrasya. Vīrya means strength. Complete riches, complete strength, complete knowledge, complete beauty, complete renunciation and complete fame.

We are after some fame. I want to be famous, you want to be famous, but we are famous in a circle—in a circle, in a country, in a society. But nobody is famous like Kṛṣṇa. You see? Nobody is famous like Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa approached, advented Himself on this earth five thousand years before, but just see how much famous He is still. Can you give any example in the history? So many Hitlers, so many Mussolinis, so many Gandhis born and went away. They were famous for several years only.

That's all. Nobody can be famous like Kṛṣṇa. All over the world He is famous, and what to speak of India. Complete fame. Similarly, complete strength, complete riches, complete beauty, complete knowledge . . . just see, Bhagavad-gītā. It was spoken by Kṛṣṇa. There is no parallel, and there is no competition of Bhagavad-gītā. It is such a knowledge. You see? Complete knowledge.

So one who possesses all these six things in complete, He is God. This is the definition of God. Complete strength, complete beauty, complete knowledge, complete riches and complete renunciation. At a moment renounced. Everything . . . suppose I have got ten dollars, and if you ask, "Oh, give me all these ten dollars," oh, I shall ten times think before renouncing these ten dollars. But Kṛṣṇa, He is the proprietor of all riches, but He can renounce anything.
