Thought Of The Day

Prabhupada: This is the test of Vaisnava. If one is actually Vaisnava, then by seeing him one will chant Hare Krsna. This has been created all over the world. Yes. Wherever we go, they chant Hare Krsna. Even at midnight in Athens. Yes. That we have experienced. This is the definition given by Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Thought Of The Day

Prabhupada: Param brahma is Krsna. Param brahma param dhama pavitram paramam bhavan [Bg. 10.12]. So param brahman is Krsna. The jnana means one who knows Krsna, he has got knowledge. Otherwise he's a rascal. That's all. Maybe a big rascal or small rascal.

The world is a reflection of our own consciousness. What is there inside us, will be reflected outside. Its like, if we wear a black spectacle, then everything will be seen with a tinge of blackishness, although actually they are not.
