Why cities are not the place to stay?

• Cities are not the place to stay.
• Cities are flourishing on account of having so
  many industries, slaughterhouses, brothels,
  cinema, clubs and nightclubs
• --Srila Prabhupada
• Srila Prabhupada did not really want us to stay
  in cities
• --His Holiness Srila Bhakti Raghava Maharaja

Why cities are not the place to stay?

• I have mentioned it a few times already what we
  do not realize is that the cities are meant to be
  primarily for devotees who will preach to other
  people that actually we do not belong in the
  city.

--His Holiness Srila Bhakti Raghava Maharaja

Why cities are not the place to stay?

• Srila Prabhupada has very clearly said that
  cities are going to crumble, to fall apart. And
  he gave the reason why cities will be destroyed
  is because of this almost unforgivable sinful
  activities allowing slaughtering of Cows

--His Holiness Srila Bhakti Raghava Maharaja

  but no confirmation has been given by the
  manufacturer/s. The other are ingredients that in
  some cases are animal-derived, but not always.

  is not derived from animals, on the other hand,
  some ingredients offer no clue to their origins.
