== Bhagavad-gita As It Is ==

=== BG Preface and Introduction ===

'''[[Vanisource:BG Introduction|BG Introduction]]:''' So Bhagavad-gītā contains the complete knowledge of Vedic wisdom.

=== BG Chapters 1 - 6 ===

'''[[Vanisource:BG 1.1|BG 1.1, Purport]]:''' If someone is fortunate enough to understand Bhagavad-gītā in that line of disciplic succession, without motivated interpretation, then he surpasses all studies of Vedic wisdom, and all scriptures of the world.

'''[[Vanisource:BG 2.7|BG 2.7, Purport]]:''' The Vedic wisdom therefore advises that in order to solve the perplexities of life and to understand the science of the solution, one must approach a spiritual master who is in the disciplic succession.

'''[[Vanisource:BG 2.8|BG 2.8, Purport]]:''' "It does not matter whether a person is a vipra [learned scholar in Vedic wisdom] or is born in a lower family, or is in the renounced order of life-if he is master in the science of Kṛṣṇa, he is the perfect and bona fide spiritual master."

'''[[Vanisource:BG 2.25|BG 2.25, Purport]]:''' As far as the soul's existence is concerned, no one can establish his existence experimentally beyond the proof of śruti, or Vedic wisdom.

'''[[Vanisource:BG 2.26|BG 2.26, Purport]]:''' Kṛṣṇa sarcastically addressed Arjuna as mahā-bāhu, mighty-armed, because He, at least, did not accept the theory of the vaibhāṣikas, which leaves aside the Vedic wisdom. As a kṣatriya, Arjuna belonged to the Vedic culture, and it behooved him to continue to follow its principles.

'''[[Vanisource:BG 2.28|BG 2.28, Purport]]:''' Nonbelievers in the existence of the soul are called atheists by followers of Vedic wisdom.

'''[[Vanisource:BG 2.28|BG 2.28, Purport]]:''' The Vedic wisdom encourages self-realization on the basis of the nonexistence of the material body.

'''[[Vanisource:BG 2.42-43|BG 2.42-43, Purport]]:''' In fact, it is stated that anyone desiring elevation to heavenly planets must perform these sacrifices, and men with a poor fund of knowledge think that this is the whole purpose of Vedic wisdom.

'''[[Vanisource:BG 2.45|BG 2.45, Purport]]:''' For them the Lord, after creation of the material world, gave the Vedic wisdom advising how to live and get rid of the material entanglement.

'''[[Vanisource:BG 2.46|BG 2.46, Purport]]:''' Vedānta is the last word in Vedic wisdom, and the author and knower of the Vedānta philosophy is Lord Kṛṣṇa; and the highest Vedāntist is the great soul who takes pleasure in chanting the holy name of the Lord. That is the ultimate purpose of all Vedic mysticism.

'''[[Vanisource:BG 3.15|BG 3.15, Purport]]:''' After creating or impregnating the conditioned souls into the womb of material nature, He gave His directions in the Vedic wisdom as to how such conditioned souls can return home, back to Godhead.

'''[[Vanisource:BG 3.31|BG 3.31, Purport]]:''' The injunction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is the essence of all Vedic wisdom and therefore is eternally true without exception.

=== BG Chapters 13 - 18 ===

'''[[Vanisource:BG 17.5-6|BG 17.5-6, Purport]]:''' One should always remember the ultimate end of the demoniac people, as described in the previous chapter. The Lord forces them to take birth in the wombs of demoniac persons. Consequently they will live by demoniac principles life after life without knowing their relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If, however, such persons are fortunate enough to be guided by a spiritual master who can direct them to the path of Vedic wisdom, they can get out of this entanglement and ultimately achieve the supreme goal.

== Srimad-Bhagavatam ==

=== SB Canto 1 ===

'''[[Vanisource:SB 1.9.6-7|SB 1.9.6-7, Purport]]:''' Bādarāyaṇa (Vyāsadeva): He is known as Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa-dvaipāyana, Dvaipāyana, Satyavatī-suta, Pārāśarya, Parāśarātmaja, Bādarāyaṇa, Vedavyāsa, etc. He was the son of Mahāmuni Parāśara in the womb of Satyavatī prior to her betrothal with Mahārāja Śantanu, the father of the great general Grandfather Bhīṣmadeva. He is a powerful incarnation of Nārāyaṇa, and he broadcasts the Vedic wisdom to the world.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 1.10.16|SB 1.10.16, Purport]]:''' The Vedic wisdom, therefore, forbids us to be attracted by false beauty.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 1.10.20|SB 1.10.20, Purport]]:''' The language is immaterial, but the subject matter is important. The ladies, who were all absorbed in the thought and actions of the Lord, developed the consciousness of Vedic wisdom by the grace of the Lord.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 1.14.34|SB 1.14.34, Purport]]:''' By brahminical culture, the development of the dormant qualities of goodness, namely truthfulness, equanimity, sense control, forbearance, simplicity, general knowledge, transcendental knowledge, and firm faith in the Vedic wisdom, one can become a brāhmaṇa and thus see the Lord as He is.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 1.15.27|SB 1.15.27, Purport]]:''' The Bhagavad-gītā, being spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the essence of all Vedic wisdom.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 1.15.27|SB 1.15.27, Purport]]:''' The whole scheme of Vedic wisdom is targeted to the aim of eradicating such a misconception and thus liberating the living being from the illusion of material identification.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 1.16.21|SB 1.16.21, Purport]]:''' The administrative heads as a class will condemn the tenets of Vedic wisdom and will prefer to conduct a so-called secular state, and the so-called educated brāhmaṇas will be purchased by such unscrupulous administrators.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 1.16.31|SB 1.16.31, Purport]]:''' But the real qualification of a brāhmaṇa is to control the mind and the senses, and to cultivate tolerance, simplicity, cleanliness, knowledge, truthfulness, devotion and faith in the Vedic wisdom.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 1.17.2|SB 1.17.2, Purport]]:''' The next symptom of the age of Kali is that principles of religion, which are all spotlessly white, like the white lotus flower, will be attacked by the uncultured śūdra population of the age. They may be descendants of brāhmaṇa or kṣatriya forefathers, but in the age of Kali, for want of sufficient education and culture of Vedic wisdom, such a śūdra-like population will defy the principles of religion, and persons who are religiously endowed will be terrified by such men.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 1.19.23|SB 1.19.23, Purport]]:''' In Satyaloka the inhabitants are fully cognizant of Vedic wisdom, and thus the mystic cloud of material energy is cleared.

=== SB Canto 2 ===

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.1.10|SB 2.1.10, Purport]]:''' Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is recognized Vedic wisdom, and the system of receiving Vedic knowledge is called avaroha-panthā, or the process of receiving transcendental knowledge through bona fide disciplic succession.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.1.10|SB 2.1.10, Purport]]:''' The bona fide spiritual master reasonably explains everything to the disciple on the authorities of Vedic wisdom.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.1.30|SB 2.1.30, Purport]]:''' Common sense is always imperfect, whereas the description in the śāstras is always perfect and complete. If there is any incongruity, it is due to our imperfection and not the śāstras'. That is the method of approaching Vedic wisdom.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.2.26|SB 2.2.26, Purport]]:''' For a common man, both modern science and Vedic wisdom are simply to be accepted because none of the statements either of modern science or of Vedic literature can be verified by him.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.2.27|SB 2.2.27, Purport]]:''' The Vedic wisdom guides us to understanding our relation with the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa and to acting accordingly in order to achieve the desired result of returning home, back to Godhead. But materialistic men do not understand this.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.3.14|SB 2.3.14, Purport]]:''' So Bhagavad-gītā, although containing the high philosophy of the Vedic wisdom, is for the beginners in the transcendental science, and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is for graduates and postgraduates in the transcendental science.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.3.20|SB 2.3.20, Purport]]:''' The messages of Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam should be preached all over the world very loudly. That is the duty of a pure devotee who has actually heard about them from the perfect sources. Many want to speak something to others, but because they are not trained to speak on the subject matter of Vedic wisdom they are all speaking nonsense, and people are receiving them with no sense.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.4.23|SB 2.4.23, Purport]]:''' The godless atheist wants to take all credit for activities, not knowing that even a blade of grass cannot move without the sanction of the Supreme Spirit, the Personality of Godhead. Śukadeva Gosvāmī therefore wants to move by the direction of the Supreme Lord, who inspired Brahmā to speak the Vedic wisdom.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.6.31|SB 2.6.31, Purport]]:''' The impersonal conception of the supreme truth is due to lack of knowledge only, and this fact is clearly explained by Brahmājī, who is supposed to be the creator of the universal affairs. Brahmājī is the highest authority in Vedic wisdom, and his assertion in this connection is therefore the supreme information.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.6.34|SB 2.6.34, Purport]]:''' Lord Brahmā is the original speaker of Vedic wisdom to Nārada, and Nārada is the distributor of transcendental knowledge all over the world through his various disciples, like Vyāsadeva and others. The followers of Vedic wisdom accept the statements of Brahmājī as gospel truth, and transcendental knowledge is thus being distributed all over the world by the process of disciplic succession from time immemorial, since the beginning of the creation.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.6.35|SB 2.6.35, Translation]]: Although I am known as the great Brahmā, perfect in the disciplic succession of Vedic wisdom, and although I have undergone all austerities and am an expert in mystic powers and self-realization, and although I am recognized as such by the great forefathers of the living entities, who offer me respectful obeisances, still I cannot understand Him, the Lord, the very source of my birth.
'''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.6.35|SB 2.6.35, Purport]]:''' Brahmā, the greatest of all living creatures within the universe, is admitting his failure to know the Supreme Lord despite his vast learning in the Vedic wisdom, despite his austerity, penance, mystic powers and self-realization, and despite being worshiped by the great Prajāpatis, the forefathers of the living entities.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.6.35|SB 2.6.35, Purport]]:''' Only self-realization, by attainment of the above high qualifications of Vedic wisdom, austerity, etc., can help one on the path of devotional service.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 2.6.35|SB 2.6.35, Purport]]:''' Lord Brahmā is the first living being, who directly learned the Vedic wisdom from the Lord (tene brahma hṛdā ya ādi-kavaye [SB 1.1.1]).

=== SB Canto 3 ===

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.3.2|SB 3.3.2, Purport]]:''' No one but the Supreme Lord can become well versed in all the branches of Vedic wisdom simply by hearing once from his teacher.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.5.41|SB 3.5.41, Purport]]:''' The paramahaṁsa makes his nest in the lotuslike face of the Lord and always seeks shelter at His lotus feet, which are reached by the wings of Vedic wisdom.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.5.51|SB 3.5.51, Purport]]:''' The expansions of Vedic wisdom also give the nitya-baddhas, the conditioned living entities, a chance to improve, and those who take advantage of such transcendental knowledge gradually regain their lost consciousness of rendering transcendental loving service to the Lord.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.6.3|SB 3.6.3, Purport]]:''' They are all given a chance to take advantage of the Vedic wisdom and find out what is their relationship with the Supreme Lord, how they can be liberated, and what the ultimate profit is in such liberation.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.6.30|SB 3.6.30, Purport]]:''' O chief of the Kuru dynasty, the Vedic wisdom became manifested from the mouth of the virāṭ, the gigantic form. Those who are inclined to this Vedic knowledge are called brāhmaṇas, and they are the natural teachers and spiritual masters of all the orders of society.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.6.30|SB 3.6.30, Purport]]:''' If other parts are cut off from the body, a man can continue his life, but if the mouth is cut off, one cannot live. Therefore, this most important part of the body of the Lord is called the sitting place of the brāhmaṇas, who are inclined to the Vedic wisdom. One who is not inclined to the Vedic wisdom but to mundane affairs cannot be called a brāhmaṇa, even if he is born of a brāhmaṇa family or father.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.6.30|SB 3.6.30, Purport]]:''' The main qualification of a brāhmaṇa is to be inclined to the Vedic wisdom.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.6.30|SB 3.6.30, Purport]]:''' The Vedas are situated on the mouth of the Lord, and therefore anyone who is inclined to the Vedic wisdom is certainly situated on the mouth of the Lord, and he is a brāhmaṇa. This inclination towards Vedic wisdom is also not restricted to any particular caste or community. Anyone from any family and from any part of the world may become inclined to the Vedic wisdom, and that will qualify him as a real brāhmaṇa.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.6.30|SB 3.6.30, Purport]]:''' Lord Caitanya, the great authority of Vedic wisdom in the modern age

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.6.30|SB 3.6.30, Purport]]:''' One who is conversant with Vedic wisdom is a brāhmaṇa. And only a brāhmaṇa who is a pure Vaiṣṇava and knows all the intricacies of the science of Kṛṣṇa can become a spiritual master.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.6.31|SB 3.6.31, Purport]]:''' As the brāhmaṇas are recognized by their particular qualification of inclination towards the transcendental knowledge of Vedic wisdom, so also the kṣatriyas are recognized by the power to protect society from the disturbing elements of thieves and miscreants.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.6.33|SB 3.6.33, Purport]]:''' A brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya or śūdra can perfect his occupational duties only by rendering service unto the Lord. A brāhmaṇa is supposed to know this fact due to his perfection in Vedic wisdom.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.7.38|SB 3.7.38, Purport]]:''' To disseminate transcendental knowledge one must retire from mundane activities on the strength of enlightenment in knowledge in terms of Vedic wisdom. That is the sum and substance of all the questions in this verse.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.8.15|SB 3.8.15, Translation]]: Into that universal lotus flower Lord Viṣṇu personally entered as the Supersoul, and when it was thus impregnated with all the modes of material nature, the personality of Vedic wisdom, whom we call the self-born, was generated.
'''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.8.31|SB 3.8.31, Translation]]: Lord Brahmā, thus looking upon the Lord in the shape of a mountain, concluded that He was Hari, the Personality of Godhead. He saw that the garland of flowers on His chest glorified Him with Vedic wisdom in sweet songs and looked very beautiful. He was protected by the Sudarśana wheel for fighting, and even the sun, moon, air, fire, etc., could not have access to Him.
'''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.9.3|SB 3.9.3, Purport]]:''' The Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot be known by the academic wisdom of the Vedas; one has to approach the devotee of the Lord to understand Him."

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.9.11|SB 3.9.11, Purport]]:''' The śrutekṣita path is to hear from bona fide devotees who are conversant with Vedic wisdom, free from mundane sentiment.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.9.29|SB 3.9.29, Translation]]: The Supreme Personality of Godhead then said: O Brahmā, O depth of Vedic wisdom, be neither depressed nor anxious about the execution of creation. What you are begging from Me has already been granted before.
'''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.9.43|SB 3.9.43, Translation]]: By following My instructions you can now generate the living entities as before, by dint of your complete Vedic wisdom and the body you have directly received from Me, the supreme cause of everything.
'''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.11.7|SB 3.11.7, Purport]]:''' By calculation it is found that one laghu is equal to two minutes. The atomic calculation of time in terms of Vedic wisdom may be converted into present time with this understanding.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.13.6|SB 3.13.6, Translation]]: The sage Maitreya said to Vidura: After his appearance, Manu, the father of mankind, along with his wife, thus addressed the reservoir of Vedic wisdom, Brahmā, with obeisances and folded hands.
'''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.13.9|SB 3.13.9, Purport]]:''' Manu, the son, unreservedly asked the father, Brahmā, to instruct him, and the father, who was full of Vedic wisdom, was very glad to instruct. The example of the father of mankind may be rigidly followed by mankind, and that will advance the cause of the relationship of fathers and sons.

=== SB Canto 4 ===

'''[[Vanisource:SB 4.20.35-36|SB 4.20.35-36, Purport]]:''' The followers of Vedic wisdom are fully aware of various planets inhabited by varieties of living entities such as the demigods, the sages, the Pitās, the Gandharvas, the Pannagas, the Kinnaras, the Cāraṇas, the Siddhas and the Apsarās.

=== SB Canto 7 ===

'''[[Vanisource:SB 7.2.37|SB 7.2.37, Purport]]:''' Nonbelievers in the existence of the soul are called atheists by followers of Vedic wisdom.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 7.2.37|SB 7.2.37, Purport]]:''' The Vedic wisdom encourages self-realization on the basis of the nonexistence of the material body.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 7.10.42|SB 7.10.42, Purport]]:''' "I worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Govinda, who is the original person-nondual, infallible, and without beginning. Although He expands into unlimited forms, He is still the original, and although He is the oldest person, He always appears as a fresh youth. Such eternal, blissful and all-knowing forms of the Lord cannot be understood by the academic wisdom of the Vedas, but they are always manifest to pure, unalloyed devotees." (Bs. 5.33)

'''[[Vanisource:SB 7.14.36|SB 7.14.36, Purport]]:''' People are very much anxious to give service to other living entities, especially to the poor, but although they have manufactured many ways to give such help, actually they are expert in killing the poor living entities. This sort of service or mercy is not recommended in the Vedic wisdom.

=== SB Canto 8 ===

'''[[Vanisource:SB 8.5.43|SB 8.5.43, Purport]]:''' We have to reject this material world because it is rejected by those who are learned in Vedic wisdom.

=== SB Canto 10.1 to 10.13 ===

'''[[Vanisource:SB 10.6.27-29|SB 10.6.27-29, Purport]]:''' Such eternal, blissful and all-knowing forms of the Lord cannot be understood by the academic wisdom of the Vedas, but they are always manifest to pure, unalloyed devotees."

=== SB Cantos 10.14 to 12 (Translations Only) ===

'''[[Vanisource:SB 12.6.36|SB 12.6.36, Translation]]: Śaunaka Ṛṣi said: O gentle Sūta, please narrate to us how Paila and the other greatly intelligent disciples of Śrīla Vyāsadeva, who are known as the standard authorities of Vedic wisdom, spoke and edited the Vedas.
'''

== Sri Caitanya-caritamrta ==

=== CC Adi-lila ===

'''[[Vanisource:CC Adi 16.44|CC Adi 16.44, Purport]]:''' In this connection, śruti-dhara is a very important word. Śruti means “hearing,” and dhara means “one who can capture.” Formerly, before the beginning of Kali-yuga, almost everyone, especially among the intelligent men, the brāhmaṇas, was a śruti-dhara. As soon as a student heard any of the Vedic wisdom from his master, he would remember it forever.

=== 1975 Conversations and Morning Walks ===

'''[[Vanisource:Garden Conversation with Professors -- June 24, 1975, Los Angeles|Garden Conversation with Professors -- June 24, 1975, Los Angeles]]:'''
Therefore according to Vedic civilization, there are seven mothers. So you cannot kill your mother. That is not very good philosophy. And who can deny, "The cow is not mother"? Who has got this audacity? You are drinking milk in the very morning. Christ says, "Thou shall not kill?—wholesale killing stop." And the Vedic literature is little liberal. It does not say, "Thou shall not kill," but, "You shall not kill at least cow." But the wholesale stop is not possible. The Vedic wisdom knows that. But you shall not kill at least cow. That is civilization. And the Christians are maintaining thousands of slaughterhouse. Is that very good proposal?

'''[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- October 10, 1975, Durban|Morning Walk -- October 10, 1975, Durban]]:'''
In fact, it is stated that anyone desiring elevation to heavenly planets must perform these sacrifices, and men with a poor fund of knowledge think that this is the whole purpose of Vedic wisdom.

=== 1976 Conversations and Morning Walks ===

'''[[Vanisource:Garden Conversation -- June 15, 1976, Detroit|Garden Conversation -- June 15, 1976, Detroit]]:'''
The Vedic wisdom therefore advises that in order to solve the perplexities of life and to understand the science of the solution, one must approach a bona fide spiritual master who is in the disciplic succession.

=== 1977 Conversations and Morning Walks ===

'''[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- October 21, 1977, Vrndavana|Room Conversation -- October 21, 1977, Vrndavana]]:'''
The driver is the intelligence; the soul is the passenger. Then there is the fifth exhibit. It shows how a man can become degraded and how he can become elevated from a neutral position in life. And the sixth exhibit shows that when a man becomes elevated by Vedic wisdom he becomes sama-darśinaḥ. Paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ [Bg. 5.18]. He sees everyone equal-dog, elephant, a cow, even brāhmaṇa—everyone, the same spirit soul.
