Just like in British period, some Englishman was made viceroy of India. Then after five years they sent to London, again with his bag, marketing in the street. This has been seen practically. Lord such-and-such, he’s traveling in a third-class compartment with a bag for marketing. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Evening Darsana — August 10, 1976, Tehran

Be a little expert from Krsna’s instructions and make everything nice. Krsna personally teaches how to deal with cows. He never showed the example of killing the cows. He maintained the cows, the calf. He was distributing butter even to the monkeys. And the pasturing ground became muddy on account of milk dropping from the bags. This is Krsna. […]

I am very much anxious to open schools for educating children of responsible leaders in our Krishna Consciousness way of life, especially also in India. If these leaders simply become a little convinced about the real purpose of human life, there is tremendous potency for improving the world.

There’s no need of contraceptive method. If one is trained up to indulge in sex only for begetting nice children, there is already contraceptive method.

Just be attached to Krishna and try always to think how to please Him, and He will personally rescue His devotee from all kinds of unfavorable situations. From Srila Prabhupada’s letter to Badarinarayana  —  Delhi 18 November, 1971

The devotee beside me, he puts up his hand and he says, “Srila Prabhupada, is it possible for a pure devotee to ever forget Krsna?” Prabhupada looks at Radha Gokulananda, and closes his eyes like this for a moment, he opens them again and looks at the devotee next to me and says very slowly, […]

There is a story that a lion was killed by a rabbit. Sasakena nipatitah. Why? Now, buddhir yasya balam tasya: "One who has got intelligence, he has got power." A lion is very mighty, ferocious animal, and a sasaka, a ordinary rabbit, he killed a lion. How?

Train up your mind, God, godly mentality. Then you'll be transferred next life, back to home, back to Godhead. That is required. This Krsna consciousness movement is training the people for being promoted to the highest standard of life. This Krsna consciousness movement is so important. We are giving chance to the people not to become next life cats and dogs and

We are advocating cow protection and encouraging people to drink more milk and eat palatable preparations made of milk, but the demons, just to protest such proposals, are claiming that they are advanced in scientific knowledge. They say that according to their scientific way, they have discovered that milk is dangerous and that the beef obtained by killing cows is

A grhastha's first duty is to be fully dependent on Vasudeva, Krsna, and to try to satisfy Him in all respects by executing one's prescribed devotional service. This devotional service will depend on the instructions of authorities and the association of devotees who are actually engaged in devotional service. The beginning of devotional service is sravanam, or
