1. The whole thing is in my hand

    If we practice devotion of God, then next life is to become the associate of God. That cintamani-prakara-sadmasu — we are transferred to that planet. These are simple things. The whole thing is in my hand. If I want to be degraded, I can prepare myself in this life for such degradation in the next life. And if we […]
  2. Simple method for deliverance

    The mantra delivers the conditioned soul from his bondage; so simply by chanting the mantra Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, one can gain deliverance from any condition. From Srila Prabhupada’s purport to SB 4.24.42
  3. Intelligent perople are very pessimistic

    Everyone will have to die. Even you accept this place of suffering, and if you are assured that you will live here permanently, still, you become happy, “All right, I will not die.” But that is also not possible. Therefore asasvatam. Even if you make your arrangement very nicely that you will not suffer, but you will […]
  4. Singhasan in our heart

    Jayantakrid das:  I remember Prabhupada in our small temple in Switzerland. At one time he gave a class, and he was describing how we should create a very nice singhasan in our heart and invite Krishna there and it should be as beautiful as we can. It can be in gold, it can be in jewels, diamond, and […]
  5. The only qualification for spiritual perfection

    Such spiritual perfection is not limited by material qualifications but is developed by dint of one’s sincere endeavor to render transcendental service. Voluntary endeavor is the only qualification for spiritual perfection. Material acquisitions of wealth or education are not considered. From Srila Prabhupada’s purport to SB 3.9.38
  6. Very humble and meek

    By humility and meekness one attracts the attention of Krsna. That is the verdict of all the Vedas. Therefore if one becomes very humble and meek, he can easily attain the lotus feet of Krsna in this Age of Kali. From Srila Prabhupada’s purort to Cc Antya 4.71
  7. Servant of the servant of the servant

    “The more we become the servant of the servant of the servant, the more we become elevated in spiritual life. In material life we become masters of the masters. The difference is there is no struggle in becoming servant of the servant, but there is a great struggle to become master.” Quoted in the book “Yamuna Devi” Vol. […]
  8. Mass Movement as well as Class Movement

    Srila Prabhupada: Let them do whatever nonsense they are doing. Let them chant and take prasada. We don’t mind what they are doing. That is later on. When I was chanting in Tompkinson Park I never asked them, “Don’t come here. You are drinking.” Everyone was drinking. (laughs) I know that. Everyone had illicit sex. They were coming with […]
  9. Glories of the maha-mantra

    Vedic evidence is called sabda-brahma. The real essence of sabda-brahma is the chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra. By vibrating this transcendental sound, the meaning of everything, both material and spiritual, is revealed. This Hare Krsna is nondifferent from the Personality of Godhead. From Srila Prabhupada’s purport to SB 4.24.40
  10. Don’t be victimized by the Mayavadi so-called Vaisnava

    Caitanya Mahaprabhu has plainly warned that “Don’t go to Mayavadis.” Mayavadi-bhasya sunile haya sarva-nasa. Mayavadi haya krsne aparadhi. This is the statement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. So you should be very, very careful. Don’t go to hear any Mayavadi. There are many Mayavadis in the dress of Vaisnavas. Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura has explained about them, that ei ‘ta eka […]
