Yasya aprasadat: "If guru is not pleased, then he has no place." Na gatih kuto 'pi. Why the spiritual master position is so great? Because he is very, very confidential servant of Krsna; therefore his position is so great.

This year in India I had my most ecstatic time. First off, usually I don't distribute books in Mayapur during the festival, because there's so much going on. But upon seeing so many book distributors this year, I got inspired to distribute.

Why do we hesitate to tell a new comer who is searching for a guru that Srila Prabhupada, the best guru the world has ever seen, is still here, and one can surrender unto him and go back to Godhead very easily? When we have such a great good fortune, why do we not take full advantage of it?

Arjuna, in the first chapter of Srimad Bhagavad-Gita, was speaking in a pseudo-spiritual way, that ‘there is too much confusion in fighting this war so I am not going to fight. Krishna, my charioteer, I am not going to fight. I am going to become a real saint and just practice meditation, whatever’.
