Although there may be some difficulties within our Society, these things are not very important. What is important is that we should simply fix our mind on Krishna’s Lotus Feet. This is His instruction in the Bhagavad-gita. So we associate with one-another so that we can assist each other in hearing and chanting about Krishna. […]

Association means to develop love for the person. That is association. So we have to become associate of Krsna, as Arjuna became. Always with Krsna — eating with Krsna, sitting with Krsna, talking with Krsna, joking with Krsna, fighting with Krsna — everything Krsna. … Krsna, does He remain with anyone unless he is very […]

Chant Hare Krsna, and everything will be clear. Ceto-darpana-marjanam. The more you chant, the spiritual life will be revealed. So it is very easy: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama… As much as possible, you chant. Then everything will be revealed, and you’ll be able to […]

Long, long ago I was talking with one Arya-samaji friend. So he did not believe that a lotus stem can grow on the navel of Visnu and there is Brahma born. Everyone says like that, “Mythology.” It is not mythology; it is fact. So I asked him that “Here we see one coconut tree, and […]

(Referring to Narada in his previous life serving the great devotees) Simply being served by somebody as…, like a boy servant, they become delivered. There was no question of preaching. Simply giving the opportunity to serve, the fallen souls become delivered. But you must be competent; not to take service for nothing. Then you’ll go […]

Here in the material world we are individual, and in spiritual world we are also individual. But what is the difference between material world and spiritual world? In the material world we are individual to serve my own senses. Therefore there is fight. Everyone is trying to satisfy his own senses. I am trying to […]

Ahara-nidra-bhaya-maithunam ca. These things are problems of this material world. A Vaisnava has no problem. He knows that “If Krsna can give food to the elephant down to the ant, so Krsna will give me food. So why shall I endeavor for it? When Krsna gives, I shall eat. That’s all. If He does not […]

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

So far maithuna [sex life] is concerned, it is completely rejected. Bhaktim param bhagavati pratilabhya apahinoti kamam [Cc. Antya 5.48]. This is Vaisnava. Vaisnava means as he makes progress in devotional service, these material lusty desires become vanquished: No more. Finished. Bhaktih paresanubhavo viraktir anya… [SB 11.2.42]. This is the sign. Yad-avadhi mama cetah krsna-padaravinde […]

The first-class men, who have got full knowledge of life and the problems of life… That there should be, the first-class men. They may be very few; it doesn’t matter. Ideal class. People will learn by their behavior, by their character, by their knowledge. Srila Prabhupada, Conv. May 14 1975, Perth

The demoniac are engaged in activities that will lead the world to destruction. The Lord states here that they are less intelligent. The materialists, who have no concept of God, think that they are advancing. But according to Bhagavad-gita, they are unintelligent and devoid of all sense. They try to enjoy this material world to […]

Krsna said: As the Supersoul of the living entities, sitting in everyone’s heart, I observe everyone’s activity in every stage and order of life. Regardless of which stage one is in, when I see that one is engaged seriously and sincerely in discharging the duties ordered by the spiritual master, and is thus dedicating his […]
