oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya
My sincere and humble daṇḍavats and praṇams to Śrīlā Swami Ramakrishnanandajī.
The Bhaktivedanta Mission founder ācārya, His Holiness Śrīla Bhaktivedanta Yogacharya Ramakrishnananda Swami, or Prabhuji, is that special person whom we can call a modern-day saint. He is the guardian of the Sanātana-dharma (the eternal religion of all entities), the guru of the eternal revealed truth in the USA, and one of the most important spiritual masters in the world, in this century, in my opinion. The American people are specifically very fortunate for directly receiving from the lotus lips of His Holiness, the pure teachings of the Vedas, Vedānta , Upaniṣads, etc. and the illuminations of those sacred scriptures.
He is the guru, and the guru is the living scripture. Only a self-realized soul like His Holiness Śrīla Swami Ramakrishnananda, a pure devotee of God, can reveal the occult purport of the eternal religion without ulterior material interests.
Let me express my congratulations to all of His Holiness’s associates, his sincere disciples and followers, for their own sukṛt, which gave them an elevated sādhu-saṅga and a rare opportunity to develop their spiritually conscious lives.
To be a friend of His Holiness Śrīla Swami Ramakrishnananda is, above all, a great privilege, and a special opportunity to receive his elevated association.

Question:
Adisa:
What do you think about the television?
Answer:
Prabhuji:
I completely agree with the words of Helen Buss Mitchell in “Roots of knowledge”… Where it is said…. “TV is the only medium of mass communication which is really democratic. It is the first big medium, accessible to all and which is managed according to the will of the people. The appalling thing is what the people want”….

Question:
Jeronimo:
Prabhuji, you do not belong to ISKCON, nor to those of IRM, neither to the Rittviks nor to those of the VNN, not to VRINDA ,Caitanya Saraswati Math or the Gaudiya Math. Could you tell me whom do you belong to?
Answer:
Prabhuji:
I’ll quote these words of Einstein…
“If my theory of relativity will prove to be correct, the German will say I am German, the Swiss will say that I am Swiss, and the French will say that I am a great scientist.
If my theory of relativity will prove to be wrong, the French will say I am Swiss, the Swiss will say I am German and the German will say I am a… Jew”

Question:
Polanko:
You grant Sanyass to women, nonetheless we know by the Vedic scriptures that women are inferior to men. What would you say to that?
Answer:
Prabhuji:
But Polanko my dear… it seems to me that you have skipped the 32nd verse of the 9th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita…
mam hi partha vyapasritya
ye pi syuh papa-yonayah
striyo vaisyas tatha sudras
te pi yanti param gatim
“O son of Prtha, those who take shelter in Me, though they be of lower birth–women, vaisyas [merchants], as well as sudras [workers]–can approach the supreme destination.”
And I’m asking you, dear Polanko, can one approach the supreme destination without taking Sanyass?
I think that in the spiritual plane we can’t make this kind of distinctions… don’t be such a chauvinist, dear… see, many times women surpass men, in matters like renunciation…
