Sunday, March 3, 1968 "We are not impersonalists, under the circumstances we have got varieties of perception in the matter of discharging devotional service. In Rupa Goswami's ``Siksamrta'' it is stated that advanced life in Krsna Consciousness means one should be always very much anxious to calculate whether every moment of his life has not been utilized in devotional service.

 Today I read a nice quote from Srila Prabhupada....it reminded me of how important it is to remember that the Lord is present in His names 100% - therefore we need to always give 100% full respect to our chanting and to always depend fully on the Lord by this effort.

Sadbhuja Prabhu, the president of the Leipzig (Germany) temple, spoke. He said that a scholar in Germany did a survey of religious movements around the world and found that every decade hundreds of movements begin and stop. One of the main prerequisites for a movement to last, he found, is that it has to inspire its members to do voluntary serv

Guru Maharaja told us to wheel him down towards the temple
Because you have to attach to something. You cannot become unattached. That is not possible. So, in order to become attached to Krsna or to enter into the devotional service of the Lord, one has to become detached from this material affection. That is wanted. Ordinarily, they go to Krsna for maintaining the attachment with this material world. Just like, "O God, give us our daily bread." That means I have got attachment of this material world, and to live in this material

If we decide to become serious about becoming Krishna conscious, we will have to find the way to get free from the clutches of maya, the illusory energy. It is not at all an easy thing to do because we have been held tightly in maya's grip for countless lifetimes.
The secret of how to free ourselves from maya's influence is to engage in the service of the great devotees. This is absolutely essential because without worshiping the lotus feet of a great devotee, we cannot be freed from maya's influ
