Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.2.5 — September 3, 1972, New Vrindavan 720903SB-NEW VRINDAVAN [53:16 Minutes] SB-01.02.05_720903SB-NEW VRINDAVAN Prabhupāda: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Go on. Pradyumna: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.

[leads chanting of verse] [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat]

Prabhupāda: Munayaḥ sādhu pṛṣṭo 'haṁ... Pradyumna: munayaḥ sādhu pṛṣṭo 'haṁ bhavadbhir loka-raṭjanam... yat kṛtaḥ... Prabhupāda: kṛṣṇa-sampraśno. kṛṣṇa-sampraśno yenātmā suprasīdati [SB 1.2.5] Prabhupāda: Loka-maṅgalam. Bhavadbhir loka-maṅgalam. That's all.

Any ladies? All right. Word meaning? Pradyumna: [leads chanting of synonyms] munayaḥ—of the sages; sādhu—this is relevant; pṛṣṭaḥ—questioned; aham—myself; bhavadbhiḥ—by all of you; loka—the world; maṅgalam—welfare; yat—because; kṛtaḥ—made; kṛṣṇa—the Personality of Godhead; sampraśnaḥ—relevant question; yena—by which; ātmā—self; suprasīdati—completely pleased. [06:19] Translation: [break] "O sages, I have been justly questioned by you.

Your questions are worthy because they relate to Lord Kṛṣṇa and so are of relevance to the world's welfare. Only questions of this sort are capable of completely satisfying the self." Prabhupāda: Hmm. So there was a great meeting. Just like we are holding here meeting for a few days, a similar meeting was held thousands of years ago, at least four thousand years ago, in a place which is called Naimiṣāraṇya.

The Naimiṣāraṇya is in India. It is near Lucknow. Here is Professor Shivasrava[?]. He knows.

The station is called now Nimsar. I think it is in Hardoi District? So still the place is there, and if you sometimes go to India you can visit this place. It is a very nice place for spiritual atmosphere.
