  • Sri Isopanisad Invocation - April 27, 1970 - Los Angeles
    A class on the Invocation to Sri Isopanisad given by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on April 27, 1970 in Los Angeles, CA.
    Sri Isopanisad Invocation
    oṁ pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ
    pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate
    pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya
    pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate
    The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance.

  • Sri Isopanisad Mantras 1-4 - May 6, 1970 - Los Angeles
    A class on Sri Isopanisad Mantras 1-4 given by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on May 6, 1970 in Los Angeles, CA.
    Sri Isopanisad Mantra 1
    īśāvāsyam idam sarvaṁ
    yat kiñca jagatyāṁ jagat
    tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā
    mā gṛdhaḥ kasya svid dhanam
    Everything animate or inanimate that is within the universe is controlled and owned by the Lord. One should therefore accept only those things necessary for himself, which are set aside as his quota, and one should not accept other things, knowing well to whom they belong.
    Sri Isopanisad Mantra 2
    kurvann eveha karmāṇi
    jijīviṣec chataṁ samāḥ
    evaṁ tvayi nānyatheto 'sti
    na karma lipyate nare
    One may aspire to live for hundreds of years if he continuously goes on working in that way, for that sort of work will not bind him to the law of karma. There is no alternative to this way for man.
    Sri Isopanisad Mantra 3
    asuryā nāma te lokā
    andhena tamasāvṛtāḥ
    tāṁs te pretyābhigacchanti
    ye ke cātma-hano janāḥ
    The killer of the soul, whoever he may be, must enter into the planets known as the worlds of the faithless, full of darkness and ignorance.
    Sri Isopanisad Mantra 4
    anejad ekaṁ manaso javīyo
    nainad devā āpnuvan pūrvam arṣat
    tad dhāvato 'nyān atyeti tiṣṭhat
    tasminn apo mātariśvā dadhāti
    Although fixed in His abode, the Personality of Godhead is swifter than the mind and can overcome all others running. The powerful demigods cannot approach Him. Although in one place, He controls those who supply the air and rain. He surpasses all in excellence.
