Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the general populace is constantly being misled regarding the true science of Kṛṣṇa by a variety of unauthorized figures, including foolish commentators, māyāvādī philosophers, atheistic scientists, and pseudo-religious leaders. By deliberately misinterpreting sacred scriptures like the Bhagavad-gītā, these blind leaders hide the supreme, personal nature of God and encourage a society driven entirely by sense gratification. This modern godless civilization acts like a stone boat, causing both the ignorant leaders and their innocent followers to sink into hellish conditions. To counteract this widespread deception, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement presents Vedic knowledge purely through the authorized paramparā system, offering humanity the genuine path to spiritual liberation.
- Misinterpreting the Scriptures: Mundane wranglers and false commentators distort the clear, simple meanings of the Vedic texts. By interpreting historical places like Kurukṣetra as merely symbolic, they mislead people away from the actual teachings of the Lord.
- Hiding the Supreme Personality of Godhead: Many so-called scholars and impersonalist philosophers lack true knowledge of the Absolute Truth. They artificially separate Kṛṣṇa's body from His soul or equate Him with ordinary demigods, thereby misguiding the public into atheism.
- The Illusions of Modern Society and Scientists: In the age of Kali, human civilization is misdirected toward increasing economic development and slaughterhouses. Modern scientists and educators further this illusion by denying God's existence and promoting animalistic sense gratification.
- The Danger of Following Blind Leaders: Trusting unauthorized swamis, yogīs, and politicians is a path to destruction. Śrīla Prabhupāda compares these ignorant leaders to men boarding a stone boat, guaranteeing that both they and their followers will drown in the ocean of material existence.

- A stone boat would be unable to float and would sink in the water with its passengers. Similarly, those who mislead people go to hell, and their followers go with them
- According to them (some misled people), the system of nadiya-nagari, which they have recently invented in their fertile brains, is the worship of Gaura, Lord Caitanya, but they do not like to worship Radha and Krsna
- Although this (hiding Krsna and divide His personality from His mind or from His body) is sheer ignorance of the science of Krsna, some men make profit out of misleading the people. BG 1972 purports
- At the present moment human society is so degraded that people cannot even provide themselves with life's daily necessities, yet they are captivated by Mayavadi philosophers and are being misled
F
- Foolish commentators say that kuruksetra means the body and that panca-pandava refers to the five senses. In this way they distort the meaning, and people are misled
- Foolish Mayavadis say that worshiping demigods is as good as worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but that is not a fact. This philosophy misleads people to atheism
- From the Bhagavatam we understand that the entire universe is full of living entities everywhere. Thus it is the folly of the scientists that although they do not know anything, they mislead people by presenting themselves as scientists, philosophers
G
- Generally, modern so-called religious leaders have no conception of God, and yet they are preaching religion. What good is that religion? People are simply being misled. Real religion means God's order: dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam
- God has given him (a human being) extra intelligence for understanding God, but they (the modern society) are being misled: "There is no God. You utilize it for your sense gratification." This is education
I
- If leaders & rich men spend fifty percent of their accumulated wealth mercifully for the misled people & educate them in KC, the knowledge of Bhagavatam, certainly the age of Kali will be defeated in its attempt to entrap the conditioned souls
- In the Siva Purana the Supreme Personality of Godhead told Lord Siva: "In Kali-yuga, mislead the people in general by propounding imaginary meanings for the Vedas to bewilder them"
- In this age of Kali, human civilization is so misled that people are unnecessarily increasing in economic development, and as a result they are opening more slaughterhouses, liquor shops and brothels. In this way, the whole civilization is being spoiled
- It is said that unless one accepts a mantra from one of these (four) sampradayas, the so-called mantra will not act in Kali-yuga. Many sampradayas have sprung up without authority, and they are misleading the people by giving unauthorized mantras
M
- Maha means great, and bharata means this land. Actually it is a history. But foolish people, without understanding through the guru-parampara system, they manufacture their own way of understanding; therefore they are misled
- Mental speculators mislead people by establishing the energy of the Lord as absolute, but when the truth of simultaneous oneness and difference is understood, the imperfect concepts of monism and dualism cease to satisfy
- My life is ended, now eighty-one. But so long I shall live I shall make no compromise, krsnas tu bhagavan svayam. Drdha-vrata. And that is a fact. Why shall I mislead people?
P
- People are accustomed to being misled by professional Bhagavatam reciters. Therefore Svarupa Damodara Gosvami herein (CC Antya 5.131) advises that one should not hear Srimad-Bhagavatam from professional reciters
- People are generally misled by the spell of the illusory energy of material nature. There are innumerable living entities within the material nature, and only some of them are human beings
- People are misled. They are thinking that by material comfort they will be happy. And practically we are seeing, this competition of material comfort... The capitalist and the labor class, worker class, they are fighting - strike
- People have been misled by these so-called commentaries. There is no need of unnecessarily commenting on certain things. Commentary or interpretation required when things are not very clear. Then you can suggest - "The meaning may be like this."
S
- So Krsna says everything in the Bhagavad-gita. People are simply misled by so-called rascals, yogis, swamis, incarnation, magician, juggler, bluffer, but they come and go. They cannot do anything because they are themself cheated
- So-called social, national and government leaders mislead people more and more, under the bodily conception of life, with the result that all the leaders, with their followers, are gliding down to hellish conditions birth after birth
- Some misled people put forward the argument that since Caitanya appeared as Radha and Krsna combined, there is no necessity of worshiping Radha & Krsna. Such differentiation by so-called devotees of Lord Caitanya is considered disruptive by pure devotees
- Some misled people try to prove that they are greatly elevated by saying that they like to chant the holy name of Lord Gaura instead of the names of Radha and Krsna. Thus they purposely differentiate between Lord Caitanya and Radha-Krsna
- Sometimes demons take up the role of preacher, mislead the people, and become known as religious reformers or as incarnations of God. BG 1972 purports
- Sometimes so-called scholars, not knowing the constitutional position of Krsna, mislead people by saying that the Krsna within is different from the Krsna without
T
- The rascals of these so-called sampradayas do not observe the Vedic rules and regulations. Although they are addicted to all kinds of sinful activities, they still offer the people mantras and thus mislead them
- There are missionary workers who advocate that one can do whatever he likes & attain perfection. But these foolish guides are not acting according to the direction of the scripture. They are manufacturing ways and misleading people in general. BG 1972 p

- They are misleading people that the skin is everything. That is not the fact. The soul is everything. That they do not understand. They say, "What is this nonsense." They have no idea of religion. For them it is just a decoration
- This Krsna consciousness movement is being spread all over the world just to remedy this gross ignorance. People in general are misled by blind leaders
- This scientific book should be done very carefully, so that people in general may not be misled by the over-intelligent scientists
