No other weapon succesfull but Sankirtana

[Guest guest]

Kñatra-bandhün means kñatriya. Kñatriya means the ruling class. Kñat, kñat

means injure, and träyate, one who gives you protection from being injured.

He's kñatriya. It is the duty of the government that every citizen, never

mind whether human being or animal, he may not be injured by anyone. That is

responsible government. It is not responsible government that one poor

animal, because he does not know how to give him protection, although there

is government, he is taken away to the slaughterhouse. This is not

government.

Here we see Mahäräja Parékñit, as soon as he saw that a cow was being

attempted to be killed, immediately he took his sword..., "What are you,

nonsense? You are killing my citizen." This is good government. This is good

government. Why the cow is not national? He's also, she's also born in the

land; so she's as important a national as you are. Kåñëa has given her the

grass to eat. She's not interfere, interfering with your food. Why? What

right you have got to kill? You have got your own food. The cow has got the

grass for her food. You have got food grains. You have got... Cow is giving

you milk, just to give her protection, that "You take my blood, turn into

milk. Please do not kill me." So why these things are happening? Because

there is rascal government. Kalinä upasåñöän. Rascal government. So one

should lament that this, "We are under this rascal government, under the

rascal guru, rascal father. But who are meant for giving protection, they

are all rascals. This is our position." This is called Kali-yuga. This is

Kali-yuga.

So if you study Çrémad-Bhägavatam, you'll be able to understand the whole

material position and how you are situated in that material position, how to

get out of it. Everything you'll understand, provided you have got the

brain. If you have got a dull brain, filled up with cow dung, that is

another thing. If there is brain substance, then you'll be able. Tad bhavaty

alpa-medhasäm. Alpa-medhasäm and su-medhasäm, they are two words in the

Vedic language. Medhä means brain substance. So one who has got su-medhä,

nice brain substance, they will understand something. And one who has got no

brain substance but cow dung, they will understand something else. So we are

selecting, or even if he is filled up with cow dung, by this Kåñëa

consciousness education, we can make him su-medhä, fine brain. That is the

Kåñëa consciousness movement. Even one is filled up with cow dung, su-medhä.

Therefore, Bhägavata says,

kåñëa-varëaà tviñäkåñëaà…

So these rascals, position, the rascal guardians, you have to fight with

them, but not with sword or any other weapon; the saìkértana movement,

yajïaiù saìkértana-präyaiù. If you stick to this principle of chanting Hare

Kåñëa mantra, yajïaiù, if you have got good brain, su-medhasaù, then you

will take this means, and by the help of Çré Kåñëa Caitanya Mahäprabhu,

you'll conquer all over the world. All over the world. You cannot take up

any other means. That will not be successful because the çästra says,

yajïaiù saìkértana-präyair yajanti hi su-medhasaù [sB 11.5.32].
