Prabhupada: ...I spoke in Hindi. Now today I speak in English. If required

I shall again speak in Hindi tomorrow. In this way, alternatively...

 

So we are worshiping Krsna. His simple business is, as we have described,

Radha-Madhava, He is lover of Srimati Radharani. Krsna means lover. This very

word Krsna means "all-attractive." You can attract by your love, not by anything

else. Therefore His name is Krsna. I have read one book, Aquarian Gospel, among

the Christians. In that book it is said that the word Christ has come from the

word Christo, Christo, it is a Greek word, and the meaning of Christo is "lover,

anointed." So I think the word Christ is apabhramsa of Christo, and Christo...

In India still, if one's name is Krsna, we call him Kristo, or sometimes Kesto.

My younger brother, his name was Krsna. So in family we were calling him

"Kesto." That is very current. So actually love, the word love, has come from

Krsna. That is a fact. Therefore you will see always Krsna always with

Radharani. We worship Krsna -- Radha-Krsna, Laksmi-Narayana, Sita-Rama. This is

Vaisnava's worshipable Deity. We do not worship alone God. We Vaisnava, we want

to see Krsna and His energy, potency. That is the Vedic system.

 

In the Vedas it is said, Upanisad, parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate

svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca.

 

na tasya karyam karanam ca vidyate

na tat-samas cabhyadhikas ca drsyate

parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate

svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca

 

The Supreme Absolute Truth, He has nothing to do. He has nothing to do. Na

tasya karyam karanam ca vidyate. He has nothing to do. Everything is being done

by His potencies. Just like a big man, a big business man, or a big, the

president of the state, he personally does not do anything. But his energies,

his secretaries and others, they do everything. He simply signs or gives

sanction. So this is the fact. God has nothing to do. Everything is being done

very nicely by His energies. Just like the sunshine or the sun planet is one of

the energies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and the whole material world

is being conducted very nicely by the sunshine... This is scientific. Due to the

sunshine all the planets, they are rotating in their prescribed orbit and nobody

is colliding with one another. Everything is going nicely, sunshine. Due to

sunshine, the seasonal changes are taking place, and the varieties of trees,

plants are growing. Everything is going on. The moon is also working under

sunshine. And due to the moon, there are waves in the sea. There are changes of

the ebb tide and low tide. So one energy of the sunshine is doing so much

things.

 

So parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate. His energies are working so nicely

that svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca. Svabhava, natural. Just like a rose flower

is coming into existence, very nicely painted, very nicely colored, very nicely

flavored. So it requires brain. How you can say that it has been done

automatically? No. There is brain. That is said in the Bhagavad-gita:

mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa-caracaram [bg. 9.10]. The nature is working

under His direction. But His direction is so complete that it appears to us as

it is being done automatically. Not automatic. There is brain behind it. Just

like nowadays there are so many mechanical inventions. You just push one button

and things come, as we see in the airplane. There are simply... The pilot is

working simply by pushing some buttons, and such a big, gigantic plane is

floating in the sky. We can understand. The television, simply by pushing one

button... So if materially it is so much advanced, perfection is possible, you

can just imagine, spiritually how much it is perfectly possible.
