Please always follow the four regulative principles and chant minimum sixteen rounds per day. Study my books very carefully and prepare yourself fully for going back to home, back to Godhead. (From a letter by Srila Prabhupada to Arjuna — Dallas 20 May, 1973)

Once on a morning walk in Melbourne, a devotee who was following close behind, eager to hear everything that Srila Prabhupada said, made the blunder of accidentally stepping on his guru’s heel. Srila Prabhupada stopped, turned around, looked admonishingly at disciple, then turned back and continued walking. Shortly thereafter, that disciple made the same mistake. […]

Ranacora Dasa, knowing that Srila Prabhupada had given specific instructions to other disciples regarding their service, once asked, “Srila Prabhupada, do you have a special instruction for me?” Srila Prabhupada replied, “Somehow or other preach, that’s all.” (Ranacora Prabhu; Srila Prabhupada Remembrances, 71)
