A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada Ki Jay...
I AM YOUR MASTER !!!Srila Prabhupada Vani..."All Indians should seriously take up the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and should perfect their lives, by adopting the process of devotional service. After perfecting their lives, they should broadcast this message all over the world for the welfare of all human beings. A vaishnava is especially interested in para upakara, doing good to others. pralhada maharaja was also interested in this. He did not want to be delivered alone; rather, he wanted to deliver all fallen souls, who are bereft of knowledge of bhakti and who misuse their intelligence for the temporary benefit of the material body. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu also wanted His mission spread all over the world."" Krsna is the supreme father, and all living entities within the material world are exactly like misled children of a wealthy man who have left home to loiter in the street. Therefore the greatest benefit one can bestow upon one's fellow human being is to give him Krsna consciousness.""The whole world is full of violence, and a devotee's first business is to stop this violence, including the unnecessary slaughter of animals. A devotee is the friend not only of human society but of all living entities, for he sees all living entities as sons of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He does not claim himself to be the only son of God and allow all others to be killed, thinking that they have no soul. This kind of philosophy is never advocated by a pure devotee of the Lord."His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupiida - Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.22.24,Purport." Without becoming a devotee of the Lord, one cannot perfect one's human life. The perfection of human life is to be elevated to the spiritual world, where there is no birth, no death, no disease, and no old age ... Without this aim, any amount of material advancement in so-called comforts can only bring the defeat of the human form of life."His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada - Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.3.28, Purport'So far as your working engagement is concerned, certainly you are not a karmi. Any person whose constant occupation is Krishna Consciousness, he is not a karmi ; he is a devotee in all circumstances. You should accept the best source of monetary income and use it for Krishna. That is better than sannyasa. Stick to your job and use it for Krishna Consciousness. You are not a karmi."His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaIn his letter to Gopala Krishna, April 4, 1971."A devotee always accepts his distress as minimized by God’s mercy, although he would have to suffer many more times the suffering. Anyone who accepts this philosophy of God’s mercy in suffering conditions, and still makes progress in Krishna Consciousness, it is said that he is sure to go back home, back to Godhead."His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaIn his letter to Gurudas, 13th February, 1968."Even if devotees excuse those who insult them, Krishna takes a different position and He is strict on this matter. Krishna will not excuse or tolerate any insult of His devotees. If we want to please Krishna, we must never insult His devotees."His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaIn his lecture on Bhagavad Gita, Text 1.26 and 1.27, London, 1973."Regarding your question about the husband becoming the spiritual master of the wife, anyone who can give instruction in spiritual life is treated as spiritual master. There are two kinds of spiritual master, initiator and instructor. So the husband can help the wife as instructor."His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaIn his letter to Himavati, 24th January, 1969."A musician, because one has got a good attachment for music, he tries to perform it very perfectly. So love is the basis. Similarly, when you serve Krishna, if you have no love for Krishna, you cannot serve Him very nicely. And Krishna also does not accept your service if it is not done in great love and affection."His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaIn his conversations in London, 12th September, 1973."If there is some earthquake or there is some danger, naturally, spontaneously, we pray. But we forget it. The tendency of offering prayer to the Lord at the time of danger is automatic. So we should know that we are in danger. We are in this material condition of life means we are in danger. Therefore, we should pray."His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaIn his conversations, Durban, October 7th, 1975.
"Those who take Krishna's advent as that of an ordinary man are great fools, but if one can simply understand the transcendental nature of this event as well as His disappearance, he becomes immediately liberated."
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
"A musician, because one has got a good attachment for music, he tries to perform it very perfectly. So love is the basis. Similarly, when you serve Krishna, if you have no love for Krishna, you cannot serve Him very nicely. And Krishna also does not accept your service if it is not done in great love and affection."
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
In his conversations in London, 12th September, 1973.
"A person, who is always anxious to render service unto the Supreme Lord Hari, as His eternal servitor, in all conditions of life is considered to be liberated even though within the material body."
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
"Chant Hare Krishna sincerely and all good intelligence consultation shall come from within. Krishna says that, ‘those who are engaged in My service, I give intelligence for his progressive march’."
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
"A devotee always accepts his distress as minimized by God's Mercy; although he would have to suffer many more times the suffering. Any one who accepts this philosophy of God's Mercy in suffering conditions, and still makes progress in Krishna Consciousness, it is said that he is sure to go back to Home, Back to Godhead."
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
"This Krishna consciousness temple is the hospital for the diseased spirit soul. And everyone is diseased. Come to this hospital. We shall take care of you and cure your material disease."
His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
"Temple means people should come, people should learn the science of God. Not that to make a business of temple. Temple means spiritual educational shelter. People should come and learn what is spiritual life, what is God, what is my relationship with God."
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
"When one becomes accustomed to inoffensive chanting, then his fruit is that he is promoted to the stage of pure Love of Godhead, or prema. This prema is the perfectional stage of consciousness and the most blissful by very far."
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
"Dedicate your life for Krishna. Even if there are some faults, dedicated life is noble life. Maybe, due to our past habits, we may commit some faulty action, but that dedicated life is sublime. "
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
"People in the spell of maya are trying to squeeze out gross pleasure from the senses, which is not possible to derive to our heart's content. Therefore we are confused and baffled in our attempt to eschew eternal pleasure from gross matter. Actually, joyful life is on the spiritual platform, therefore we should try to save our valuable time from material activities and engage them for Krishna Consciousness."
