Where: Hong Kong University, Nov 17, 2008

Verse: Srimad Bhagavatam - 7.10.8
Where: New Vraja-Dhama, Hungrary, September 6, 2008
Essence: ”A conditioned soul in this material world guided by imperfect senses and clogged by the fog of illusion cannot see where the path of pravrtti or sense gratification is leading.

Where: Laguna beach, USA, June 16, 2008
Essence: “Just as the lines etched on a stone cannot be erased, the strict regulative principles of Srila Raghunatha Dasa Goswami could not be changed under any circumstances. We should imbibe this mood of Srila Raghunatha Dasa Goswami and strictly follow the lines on stone given by Srila Prabhupada – the four regulative principles and the chanting of the holy name to successfully go back to Godhead.”
