Revive brahminical culture: let learned guides teach truth directly from scripture, uninterpreted and uncomplicated by modern thinkers.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: He started this rājya hope: "We must have our own land." So he was a very big man, barrister. So one, his friend, he was also brāhmaṇa, he felt ill, and he was taking it daily, gaṇgā-snāna. So this, his friend, Mr. Bannerjee, he came to see him, that "You bring one doctors." He refused: "No, I don't want.
I'll drink this Ganges water." So he never took any help from the brāhmaṇas. But simply drinking Ganges water—cured. And in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam also it is stated, nārtasya cāgadam udanvati majjato nauḥ, tāvad vibho tanu-bhrtāṁ tvad-upekṣitānām [SB 7.9.19]. A doctor medicine is not actually cure.
Unless... If somebody is neglected, denounced by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, any amount of medicine or good physician will not be able to cure. Father, mother is not the shelter of the children. The things are described in the Bhāgavatam. Indian man (1): Bhagavad-gītā also mentions that the mantram auṣadhaṁ also is Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself...

Kṛṣṇa is the protector. In Bengali it is said, rākhe kṛṣṇa māre ke māre kṛṣṇa rākhe ke: "If Kṛṣṇa wants to kill somebody, who can give him protection?" That faith we are losing at the present moment. We are, in India especially, we are born in a country where God descends as Lord Rāmacandra, Lord Kṛṣṇa, Lord Buddha, Caitanya. Now they are asking, "What is God?" So the old culture has to be revived.
And this is an attempt, humble attempt, to revive our old culture, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We should join together. Indian man (1): We should. Prabhupāda: To this purpose we are attempting to open a center here. And Mr. Pandiya, how long you are here in...? Mr.
Pandiya: I'm here for the last six months, sir. Prabhupāda: Oh. Before that, where you...? Mr. Pandiya: Before that, I was at Berhampur. Prabhupāda: So my guessture was right. By seeing your face I asked you as some member of... Mr.
