Sometimes our devotees say that I have been exploited or that I have been overused, but there is no question of spiritual exploitation, whatever service one has done stays to one’s eternal spiritual credit, otherwise the whole Bhagavad-Gita would become false.

The Importance of Character: BT Swami
Bhishmadeva: "Dharma (religiosity), integrity, right action, and morality are the watch words of a king."
Nothing is more powerful than dharma and integrity. When we fail to follow dharma, we lose integrity. Death is approaching each of us at every moment.

How to properly chant the Hare Krishna Mahamantra - Japa "Nish, nish, ram, ram, nish, nish, ram, ram."

The 4 step japa mala technique
