Govinda dasa - Piety leads to power

H.G. Govinda dasa, ISKCON Chowpatty Temple President

'The example of Bali Maharaja shows how material power can be achieved through the pious credits attained from the good treatment and protection of brahmanas, cows, women, children and the elderly. Unfortunately, today's ambitious people do not know this fact, and thus they wrongly think they will get lasting power through exploitation and ruthlessness.'

Paraphrased from a Shrimad-Bhagavatam class.
ISKCON Radha-Krishna Temple, Soho St, London, 16th February 2006.
