When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
YOU ARE NOT THE BODY BUT A SOUL COVERED IN A MATERIAL BODY.

At this year’s meetings of the Governing Body Commission—ISKCON’s ultimate managing authority—in Mayapur, India, German Srila Prabhupada disciple Dina Sharana Dasi became only the second-ever woman to accept the position of full-voting GBC member.
Her path there starts a decade ago: One day, while washing pots in her kitchen, she had what she callseingebungin German—a kind of inspirational vision in her mind—where Srila Prabhupada told her something that would change her life.

Anyone who wishes to acknowledge the simple truth that "I am Lord Krishna's servant" can wear tilaka, the clay mark devotees wear on the forehead and other places on their body. You may not feel you have much devotion to Krishna, but you're not prohibited from wearing tilaka, because it's a sign that you're trying to be His devotee. What's more, the qualifications for being Krishna's devotee soon develop in a person who learns the art of wearing tilaka.

It has often been argued whether truth and beauty are terms compatible with one another. One would agree willingly, some say, to express the truth, but since truth is not always beautiful—indeed it is frequently rather startling and unpleasant—how is one to express truth and beauty at the same time?
In reply to this we may inform all concerned that Truth and Beauty are indeed compatible terms.
word that you are saying to us now? Because I myself, I forget so
much. I want to hear just how you are talking and I can't.
Prabhupada: What is that? I don't follow.
Tamala Krsna: I want to be able to hear you saying exactly what you're
saying now. I want to always be able to hear it, but I forget. My
memory is very poor.
Prabhupada: Why? No. If we try... Memory may be poor. Everything
depends on cultivation. If you cultivate somethi

Tara saksi jagai madhai.Now, at that time, there was two Jaga
One should become an unalloyed devotee of the Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, and serve Him with rapt attention.
The servants of God come to propagate God consciousness, and intelligent people should cooperate with them in every respect. By serving the servant of God, one can please God more than by directly serving the Lord. The Lord is more pleased when He sees that His servants are properly respected because such servants risk everything for the service of the Lord and so are very dear to t
