At present everyone is suffering due to ignorance, just as one contracts a disease out of ignorance. If one does not know hygienic principles, he will not know what will contaminate him.

The devotees were amazed to discover that Srila Prabhupada had no visa to visit Australia.
Amogha: All that needed to be done was that the Indian embassy had to give some stamp of permission, and the Australian consulate had to issue a visa. Prabhupada was due to fly out that night. But it was Saturday morning, and all the embassies were closed. It was very hectic. Finally, Gopal dasa went to the homes of the right persons and convinced them to

Here are few quotes of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu – an unparalleled devotee of Sri Krishna
While chanting the name of the Lord one should earn Divine wealth. The divine wealth to be earned are kindness, nonviolence, freedom from lust, truth, equality, equanimity, detachment, stability of mind, control over senses, seriousness, compassion, friendship, brilliance and tolerance.
Men chanting the name of the Lord should be more tolerant than a tree and be humble enough to give honor to all else.
