Question: 1. If Lord Brahmā is subject to birth, death, old age and disease, then why Bhagavān has created different worlds instead of one world, where all can reside together?

Question: Is it appropriate for ISKCON devotees to charge money from audience by teaching Krsna consciousness philosophy and kirtana, and maintain their household life from that income. I am asking this because usually we do everything free in the temple but when some new people meet devotees, who charge money for teaching Krsna consciousness philosophy and kirtan, the new people get confused thinking that maybe they are going after money.
