Speaker: His Holiness Indradyumna Swami
Verse: Srimad Bhagavad Gita – 4.11
Where: Gita Nagari, Pennsylvania, USA, April 25, 2008
Essence: Srila Viswanatha Cakravarti Thakura says “The cows are like cintamani jewels that can fulfill any desire. Their mooing is like beautiful poetry. Their happy calves are like the pleasant summer. They always raise their ears to hear Krsna’s flute. As they wander the earth, they resemble the bubbles of the milk ocean, the chuckles of Lord Siva and the infant children of the moonlight.” These cows are very dear to the Lord, and if we want to please Him, we must take care of them and protect them.

Where: San Jose, USA, March 28, 2008

Verse:  Srimad Bhagavad Gita - 9.6
Where: Sydney, Dec 5, 2007
Essence: “More important than knowing how the universe is created, it is important to know why it is created. Scientists are interested in knowing the how and the details.
