    Shri Nama-mala-grahana-mantra (on taking the beads for the purpose of japa).
    avighnam kuru male tvam
    harinama-japesu ca
    shri radha-krishnayor dasyam
    dehi male tu prarthaye

    "O Mala, please destroy inauspiciousness in my chanting of the holy name of Lord Gaura-Hari and grant me the position of service to Nityananda-Gauranga and Radha-Krishna. This is all I pray, O Mala."

    nama cintamani-rupam
    namaiva parama gatih
    namnah parataram nasti
    tasman nama upasmahe

    "The Holy Name is a beautiful transcendental touchstone--it is the supreme goal. There is nothing higher than the Holy Name. I therefore worship the Holy Name."
  • Beautiful pictures, especially of Maharaja. Hare Krishna Padmavati :)

    Krsna consciousness is the greatest
    necessity of human society.
    Learn it and appreciate it, and comprehend it
    and assimilate it - and teach it. It is very simple.
    If you chant Hare Krsna without offence,
    everything will be revealed from within
    because Krsna is sitting within you.
    If you are strong and have faith
    and conviction in Krsna,
    as well as the spiritual master,
    then Krsna is there.
    The Vedas say that
    if you have implicit faith in God
    and implicit faith in your bona fide guru,
    who teaches you Krsna consciousness,
    then the result will be that
    all the Vedic scriptures
    will be revealed authoritatively.

    If we purify our existence
    simply by following the
    basic regulations
    of Krsna consciousness,
    which involve abstaining
    from illicit sexual connection,
    meat-eating,
    intoxication and gambling,
    we will gradually rise
    to attain our spiritual existence,
    which is completely pure.
    We are all intended
    to attain peace and happiness,
    but whatever peace and happiness
    we find in this material world
    is limited.
    If we but purify our existence
    and attain spiritual existence,
    we will receive unlimited
    peace and happiness.
