not enough yajna

[Guest guest]

I think a more important quote by Srila Prabhupada would be one

indicating the progressive nature of Kali-yuga, in that it will get

worse and worse by and of its own nature.

Very nice.

 

The following may be helpful.

Prabhupada: Yes, everywhere. The only difficulty is there is no water, no

supply of water. In the rainy season this will be all green immediately,

immediately, without any delay. So, the only difficulty -- there is no

water.

Guest: In Gujarat now the same problem is there and they are digging well,

five-acre well, just we have dug at Mayapur, and collecting water. Rainwater

is collected that way. So here also it can be done for a small farm. [break]

Prabhupada: ...sankirtana, then water will come. You haven't got to do

anything. Otherwise the words of Gita will be false. Yajnaih... Yajnad

bhavanti parjanyah. The formula is there. You perform yajna and the water

will be supplied. They are not performing yajna.

Dhananjaya: So then it's very important to perform twenty-four-hour kirtana

here.

Prabhupada: Oh, yes.

Devotee (2): From that, then, the rains will be produced.

Prabhupada: Yes. But we should not chant for rain. That will automatically

come. But you should chant for pleasing Krsna.

Makhanlal: There's some rumors that there will be a drought in the United

States, a very severe drought.

Tripurari: But by the devotees chanting they would never have to...

Prabhupada: Yes, everywhere.

Makhanlal: Even if there was drought for the nondevotees, the devotees

would, automatically wouldn't have to worry about such a thing.

Prabhupada: [break] ...stopped, then your whole business stop. Imagine if

these hills were green. How much foodstuff would have been available both

for the animal, for the man. All dry, all dry. People should immediately

accept this chanting to solve this problem. [break] And the yajna means

yajnaih sankirtana.

Gopal Krsna: They think they have better things to do.

Pusta Krsna: Atma-sainyesu asatsv api. They are depending on so many other

things besides Krsna.
