Суд над Бхагавад-гитой / Attempt to ban Bhagavad-gita

147. What are the benefits of Krishna consciousness to the World?
Non-violence – Krishna conscious people are totally non-violent. No killing (vegetarian).
Simple people – Krishna conscious people believe in living a simple life (not materialistic).
No druggies or drunkards – Krishna conscious people are not intoxicated. No drugs or alcohol.
No hatred – Krishna conscious people believe God is the father of all living beings and thus we are all brothers and sisters.
No Gamblers – Krishna conscious people don’t gamble.
Treat all people equally and nicely – Krishna conscious people view all living beings as souls and not physical bodies. Thus there are no bodily designations; even the plants and animals are treated like human beings.

If you are serious about stopping terrorism, drugs, hatred, global warming, and AIDS, then become Krishna conscious and promote it.

148. How did Krishna prove he was God?

People argue over who God is. First of all, know what qualities the applicant for the supreme position should have. These qualities are listed in the question ‘What is God?’ Then compare the pastimes, miracles performed, and statements made by the applicants for the supreme position, and then there will be no doubt who is God and who isn’t.
Krishna lifted a mountain (Govardhana hill) for 7 days. Do you know anyone else who has lifted a mountain?
Krishna expanded his body into 16108 forms. Do you know anyone else who can multiply himself into thousands of identical bodies or even once?
Krishna swallowed a forest fire to save his friends. Do you know anyone else who has saved his followers in their current life?
Krishna cured the diseased, including transforming a hunchback woman into a most beautiful woman. Do you know anyone else who has transformed the ugly into beautiful in their current life?
Krishna brought the dead back to life. Do you know anyone else who has brought back the dead?
Krishna defeated all those who challenged him including Kamsa, Putana, Bakasura, Kesi, Aghasura, and Sisupala. Do you know anyone else who has defeated all those who challenged him?
Krishna saved all his followers in this life. Do you know anyone else who has saved all his followers in their current life?
Krishna transformed himself into others. Do you know anyone else who can transform themselves into others?
Krishna was born fully clothed. Do you know anyone else born clothed?
Krishna has appeared in the same body more than 18,000 times in the current cycle alone. Do you know anyone else who has appeared with the same body this many times or even twice?
Krishna never looks older than about 16. He is forever youthful, forever beautiful. Do you know anyone else who always looks youthful and beautiful?

Krishna is the greatest and nicest person known to man. So why not follow the best?

149. Will Krishna take away my sins?

Krishna won’t take your sins and suffer himself, because he is God himself, and God does not suffer. This is another difference between God and living beings. The living beings suffer, but God does not, that’s why God is great and we are not.

By taking shelter of Krishna and abiding by his instructions in the Bhagavad-Gita, you will stop committing sins, do everything for Krishna, instead of yourself, and change your consciousness from bodily and material to spiritual and Krishna. The result of this is that at death, Krishna will release you from all the sinful actions you have taken in millions of lives and transfer you (the soul) to the spiritual abode (Vaikuntha). There you will live in the same beautiful body eternally, full of bliss, full of knowledge, and face no problems.
“Give up all other religious beliefs and just surrender unto me [Krishna]. I will release you from all your sins. Do not worry.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 18.66)
