Bhakti Vidya Purna Swami, Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto 2, Chapter 1
The knowledge of the soul, God, and their relationship is called para-vidya. Other knowledge in the Vedas is called apara-vidya. This other knowledge can become para-vidya if it is used in Krishna's service. Non-Vedic knowledge can also become para-vidya when used in Krishna 's service.
Suhotra Swami:
The sahajiyas accept Krishna is their worshipable Deity but do not perform any abhideya (approved process to attain Him).
Boredom and pride cause one to fall from the mode of goodness.
The whole Vedic civilization fell apart because people did not transcend the mode of goodness and come to the transcendental platform of pure goodness. Instead the mode of goodness became mixed with passion and ignorance as the false ego of pride developed in first the brahmanas (intellectuals) and then the ksatriyas (administrators).
Temples in Turkey that have been unearthed have inscriptions with the names of Hindu gods on them.
In Memphis, Egypt, in 500 B.C., there were Indians worshiping Hindu deities.
Temples in South American, as well as Egypt and India, were built using the same mathematical and astronomical principles.
They are fourteen centers along the spinal column where the nadis meet. These correspond to the fourteen planetary systems.
Because the macrocosm (the universe) is represented within the microcosm (our body), the many descriptions of the universe in the Srimad-Bhagavatam are relevant to our lives.
Bhakti Vidya Purna Swami: Krishna dasa Kaviraja Goswami says in his Sri Caitanya-caritamrita that as soon as a person becomes sincere, Krishna sends a bona fide spiritual master to enlighten the person.
Suhotra Swami: There is a devotee who originally hated the Hare Krishnas, and so he stole a book from a devotee book distributor. The devotee ran after him but could not catch him. Ultimately the thief read the book and became a devotee himself.
Bhakti Vidya Purna Swami: In difficult situations we take shelter of those things that give security. Ultimately our emotions must be directed toward Krishna. Therefore in whatever position we find ourselves, we should hear about Krishna from a devotee who has faith in Krishna.
