Narada as a Gopi

After Narada heard the glories of gopi-bhava (the exalted moods of the gopis) from the mouth of Vrnda-devi, the presiding deity of Vrndavana, an intense desire to lovingly serve the Divine Couple Sri Radha-Krsna as a gopi in Their most elevated amorous pastimes arose in his heart. He received the gopala-mantra from Brahma, the Grandsire of the world, and began to perform meditation and worship in raga-marga, the path of spontaneous attachment, in the wake of the gopis.
After doing

On Speaking Strongly in Srila Prabhupada's Service

The preacher is the carrier of the Absolute Truth. It is his duty to tell people the truth. Unless devotees tell them, how will they ever know? Our message has to be explicitly presented to clearly distinguish it from non-Truth. In so doing, we should not be afraid. Even if people dislike us, or even if other devotees criticize us, Krsna will protect us. Krsna is God and He wants His message propagated. Surely He will protect His loyal servants.

On Speaking Strongly in Srila Prabhupada's Service

This is an important point that Srila Prabhupada often stressed: that his strong words were not his personal opinion, but that he was simply repeating what Krsna had said.

Na mam duskrtino mudhah prapadyante naradhamah. These are the words used in the Bhagavad-gita. It is not our manufactured word. People may be very unhappy or angry, but we have to quote from these scriptures.

Krsna speaks strongly. He says,

Inattentive chanting .....An invitation to self Destruction.It is like cutting same branch in which we are sitting.

By not chanting attentively we are inviting maya.

The first connection of the Jeeva with Krishna in Material world is the Holy name.

If you will dial even a single number wrong, while making a call you won't be able to contact the require person.So by chanting and hearing attentively every single word, of the Hare krishna mahamantra will only connect us to the lord Krishna...

SRILA PRABHUPÄDA would sometimes sit in his darsana room after breakfast and

chat with his servants for a while, usually commenting on the state of the

world in the present day. These moments were especially sweet—to be with

Prabhupäda as he sat, relaxed and casual, and bathe in the warmth of his

intimate association.

This morning was particularly memorable. The sun was shining brightly

"When we come to Krishna Consciousness, we have to also become responsible for what we do. If we are a little careful, Krishna will certainly protect us and then if we are careful about making mistakes and ask for forgiveness and avoid repeating in the future, then it is very easy to overcome any mistakes and get back home, Back to Godhead, and get purely Krishna Conscious.

But if we become careless, become impersonal or sahajiya, we just start offending Krishna, offending the Vaishnavas, it's a
