Tamal Krishna Goswami Tape Ministry
Tape Series
INTRODUCTORY LECTURES
Scientific Knowledge of God
Home program recorded in Dallas, Texas at Krishna-shakti's,
before an audience of mostly newcomers. Very systematic
explanations of the basics of spiritual life.
1989 - 2 TAPES
Krishna Consciousness & The Main Religions
Here are some
more jewels, mined from the Archives of the Tape Ministry! The
first two tapes are very educating discourses, recorded in 1989
in Australia, based upon a critical, Krishna conscious analysis
of two non-devotional movies about Buddhism and Hinduism.
Impersonalism, anthropomorphism, Gandhi's theory of nonviolence,
the Buddhist life style and their basic teaching that all desire
brings suffering, all this and many more points are viewed from
the Vedic perspective. Fired up, cutting and funny at the same
time. On the third tape His Holiness is dealing with a similar
situation, comparing the four main religions, but his tone is
quite different because the audience is different. The last tape
is a more recent one, in which he gives an impressive summary of
the KC philosophy to a respectable audience at an interfaith
meeting in Dallas, Texas. Simply by studying his varied styles of
preaching on these four tapes we can learn so much!
1989 - 4 TAPES with VINYL ALBUM
An Introduction to Lord Krishna
Four lectures given in
Dallas, Winter 1993, to the tender audience of a Youth Club
Seminar, as well as to the local Friends of Lord Krishna. Under
discussion: Subject matters like "The Qualities Of
God", "The Path Of Bhakti: Associating With God",
"Lord Krishna & His Vrindavana Pastimes", and
"The Glories Of Vrindavana Life". From the basics to
the esotherics, but all within the grasp of even a beginning
traveler on the spiritual path, thanks to the expertise of the
teacher. Makes a nice gift to a favorable acquaintance!
1993 - 4 TAPES with VINYL ALBUM
Questions People Ask
Several Question & Answer sessions which spontaneously
evolved during one of His Holiness's recent visits, first to the
Philippines and then to Hong Kong. His Holiness himself found
these sessions so meaningful that he requested that a book be
made out of them to use as a preaching tool. In the Manila
gatherings he requests the devotees to voice the most asked
questions by the local people (mostly Christians) and then he
answers them very nicely. On the Hong Kong tapes a Vaisnava forum
of three stalwart preachers and unique personalities, namely His
Holiness, H.H. Umapati Swami and H.H. Narasimha Maharaja, answers
various questions from the audience. After a question is raised
each of them give their response to it. In this way a thorough
understanding is gained and the mood becomes increasingly
blissful. But the highlight of this series comes when suddenly a
die-hard impersonalist pops up his head and tries to create a
stir by his challenge: "Why look for Krishna? We are all
Krishna!" For a moment the devotees hold their breaths. It
somewhat reminds one of a demon entering the scene to disturb
Krishna's lila. But being well-versed in Srila Prabhupada's
teachings and equipped with a great sense of humor, His Holiness
and the other Vaisnavas effortlessly, methodically,
unquestionably and yet politely tear apart all of his arguments
and soundly defeat his philosophy. Hear the tapes and learn how
the great souls preach.
1995 - 3 TAPES
Various introductory
lectures given on the Sunday Feast, to Interfaith dialogues, to
visiting student groups, etc. Contains ever-new explanations of

improve your presentation of Krishna consciousness to people from
all walks of life.
