Lecture given by Caru Prabhu (president of the Utah temple) on Bhagavad Gita Chapter 14 Text 4.  He presented a lecture that had a father's day theme since the day was Father's day.

TRANSLATION

It should be understood that all species of life, O son of Kunti, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father.

PURPORT

In this verse it is clearly explained that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna, is the original father of all living entities. The living entities are combinations of the material nature and the spiritual nature. Such living entities are seen not only on this planet but on every planet, even on the highest, where Brahma is situated. Everywhere there are living entities; within the earth there are living entities, even within water and within fire. All these appearances are due to the mother, material nature, and Krishna's seed-giving process. The purport is that the material world is impregnated with living entities, who come out in various forms at the time of creation according to their past deeds.

The temple president of the Utah temple, Caru Prabhu, lectures on Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 7, Chapter 10, Text 39.  Some of the topics covered in this lecture: some of Lord Krishna's pastimes, the Dasa Avatar, and some comparisons with Christianity.  

TRANSLATION

Not only Sisupala and Dantavakra but also many, many other kings who acted as enemies of Krishna attained salvation at the time of death. Because they thought of the Lord, they received spiritual bodies and forms the same as His, just as worms captured by a black drone obtain the same type of body as the drone.
