The Homosexual Appetite of a Man for Another Man is Demoniac
Lord Brahma, approaching the Lord, addressed Him thus: My Lord, please protect me from these sinful demons, who were created by me under Your order. They are infuriated by an appetite for sex and have come to attack me. Related Articles (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

A man and woman unites, and the woman becomes pregnant, and the husband goes away. Then the poor woman is embarrassed with the child. She has to beg from the government.

So you American people, you have become tiger now, by the grace of God, Krsna, you have become such a powerful nation--rich, beautiful, educated. But if you forget Krsna, then you are again going to become a mouse. Remember that. Nobody will care for you. Just like Englishmen.

This World is Enchanted by Sex. Hare Krishna Festival Address, San Diego, 1972 [MP3 Audio]
Real happiness is above the senses. It is supramental sense, or spiritual sense. With the gross senses, what we enjoy, that is temporary. It is not permanent. Permanent enjoyment is transcendental sense enjoyment. (MP3 Audio by Srila Prabhupada)

There Is No Happiness in the Material World
Actually people work so hard. He has to go to office. Suppose there is snowfall. So he cannot stop. He has to go. Or there is scorching heat. You have no experience in your country, scorching heat. But India, 122 degrees. Just imagine, this year. Still they have to go to work. So somewhere it is severe cold and somewhere it is severe scorching heat. This is nature's law. You have (MP3 Audio by Srila Prabhupada)

Srila Prabhupada on National Disasters
'We are always in the ugly reality,' Prabhupada said, '-- twenty-four hours a day. Suppose there is no blackout? Still, if you go in the street, there is no guarantee that you will get home. In this way, you are always in the ugly reality. Why do you say only this blackout? This is just one of the features of this ugly reality. That's all.' (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

Mantra Wars
I will concentrate on the nature of mantras and how they were used in ancient times or in ‘Vedic’ civilizations that go back more than 5,000 years and were employed not only for spiritual emancipation but in military applications as well. In other words, mantras were used to defeat the enemy in times of war. Related Articles (Article by Bhakta Vaikuntha)

Our Opinion on Homosexuality?
A devotee of Krishna does not try to satisfy his own senses, he tries to satisfy Krishna's senses. We understand that Krishna is the source of everything and that everyone is part and parcel of Krishna, so if we satisfy Krishna everyone, including ourselves, will be satisfied.

Giving Up Illicit Sex-life- Taking Responsibility- The Vedic Solution
Everyone's need is sex life. Ahara-nidra-bhaya-maithunam. These are the bodily needs. So sastra has sanctioned, - All right. You can live peacefully by married life and have sex life for children, good children." That is allowed. But why should you have illicit sex life? What is this? Irresponsible life. -I shall not take responsibility of family life, and I shall go on as so-called bachelor and have illicit life." ... - This is not good." This is the advice of Vedic literature. (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

You Have To Serve Somebody
You have to serve somebody strong. You cannot avoid it. Just study all status of society, animal society or human society. The law is that the stronger is dominating the weaker. That is the law. You cannot avoid it. So wherefrom this idea came unless it is in God? Janmady asya yatah [Bhag. 1.1.1]. All ideas come from the Supreme. That is the law, that the strong predominate over the weak. So who can be stronger than God? So this is our natural position, to serve God. (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

 

Combination of Male & Female
In whole world there is combination of male and female, either... Any society, human society, or bird society or dog society or animal society. Why this male and female? Why? Female is the energy, energy of the male. Why a man takes, marries a woman and takes responsibility...? Of course, in your country they marry as a matter of joke, immediately divorce after week or after seven days. But marriage means to take full responsibility of a woman. That is real marriage, Vedic marriage. (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

We Are An Imitation Of Krishna
Man is made after God. We are imitation of Krsna. Krsna is not imitation of us. The atheist class, they think that “They have painted a form of God according to one’s own feature of the body.” What is called? Anthropomorphism. But that is not the fact. Here in this material world we are getting different types of forms of body, 8,400,000’s. When we get this human form of body, it is just imitation of Krsna’s body. (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

Natural Disasters
All schemes are only useless scraps of paper in the face of war, famine, earthquakes and other disasters. All these disasters are warnings from Mother Durga, and by them she confirms her eternal superiority over the illusioned planmakers. (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

Toward a Peaceful Society
Unfortunately people in this modern civilization never stop to inquire what they are or who they are. They are simply laboring hard, working hard all day in an office or factory, under the impression that, “I am this body.” And if we ask people who they are, they reply, “I am Hindu, I am Moslem, I am Swedish, I am American, I am Christian, etc.” These are various identifications or designations of the body, but the fact is that we are not these bodies. (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

Srila Prabhupada: Foretelling Practical Experience
And are the women happy? Srila Prabhupada told us: "Actually, in the Western countries we see that the woman class want equal rights with men. And there is. There is no distinction. But it is my experience the woman class are not happy in the Western countries. And still in our country, although we are so fallen, our woman class remains satisfied." (Article by Dravinaksa Das)

Nothing happens without the sanction of God
It is often said, Not a blade of grass moves without the sanction of the Supreme Lord, and that is a fact. Nothing happens without the sanction of God. There is an English saying, Man proposes and God disposes. This is correct because we can't fulfill any of our desires without the sanction of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. (Article by Madhudvisa dasa)

Sex--The Highest Pleasure in a Rascal Culture
They do not even know what knowledge is. To these fools and rascals, knowledge means sex. That is their knowledge. Advancement of knowledge means how to enjoy sex. How to take shelter of abortion--child killing. And how to perfect their contraceptive method. The whole thing is on the basis of sex. That's all. They do not know anything except these things. They know that after sex, there is so much botheration. Related Articles (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

The Ksatriya Spirit
Not that the poor soldiers would fight and the leaders would remain in a secure place, no. The oldest man in the Kuru dynasty, the grandfather of Arjuna and Duryodhana. He was very old man, brahmacari, and he was taking the risk of fighting. This is ksatriya spirit. (MP3 Audio by Srila Prabhupada)

Anxiety
Material existence is always full of anxiety. People are always trying to find many ways to mitigate anxiety, but because they are not guided by a real leader, they try to forget material anxiety through drink and sex indulgence. Foolish people do not know that by attempting to escape anxiety by drink and sex, they simply increase their duration of material life. It is not possible to escape material anxiety in this way.

Kali Yuga, The Problems and the Solution
The age of Kali is the most condemned age due to its quarrelsome features. Kali-yuga is so saturated with vicious habits that there is a great fight at the slightest misunderstanding. Those who are engaged in the pure devotional service of the Lord, who are without any desire for self-aggrandizement and who are freed from the effects of fruitive actions and dry philosophical speculations are capable of getting out of the Related Articles (Article by Srila Prabhupada)
