Srila Prabhupada's quotes.

"The process is how to think of Krsna. Man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah. This is meditation. So this... By kirtana it becomes very easy. If you chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra twenty-four hours like Haridasa Thakura... That is not possible. So as much as possible... Tirtha-yasasa. Kirtana, this is also kirtana. We are talking about Krsna, reading about Krsna, reading Krsna's instruction in the Bhagavad-gita or reading Krsna's glories in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. They are all kirtana. It is not that simply when we sing with musical instruments, that is kirtana. No. Anything you talk about Krsna, that is kirtan."
~ from Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam 3.28.18 on October 27, 1975 in Nairobi

Srila Prabhupada ~ " Simply our prayer should be, My dear Krishna, please remind me to always chant Your Holy Name, please do not put me into forgetfulness. You are sitting within me as Supersoul, so you can put me into forgetfulness or into remembering You. So please do not put me into forgetfulness. Please always remind me to chant, even You send me into the hell, it doesn't matter, just so long as I can always chant Hare Krishna..."

Hare Krishna

Lord Krishna is so gracious because it is due to His causeless mercy that we have got an opportunity to think of Him. In my opinion one must develop the attutide of gopicas, i.e transcendental love for the personal feature of the lord because lord Krishna said that though these gopicas are ignorant of the vedas, still He considers them to be on par with the great gnanis. In fact the purpose of studying vedas is to acquire love for Krishna. When this is known before hand why waste time in dry mental speculation? Hence especially in this age the duty for everyone is to mould his life in such a way that thinking of Krishna is always possible.
