The Strength of Association
There was a thief who was robbing businessmen and murdering people. One day he heard that the king of the country had invited all the sannyasis, sadhus and ascetics for a big meeting.

"If one purposefully commits mistake and sinful life, "Now I am chanting Hare Krishna. I can do all sinful life. It will become counteracted," that rascal will be punished very, very much. "I am living in Vrndavana. Oh, it is dhama, so let me do all nonsense. It will be counteracted." They'll be these cats and dogs and monkeys in Vrndavana. "

"Fate can be changed by Krishna consciousness. Krishna says, "I shall give you protection from all the resultant action of your sinful life." That is fate changed. When you surrender to Krishna, He takes charge of squaring up all your sinful activities and their reaction. Surrender to Krishna; then your fate is changed."

So here is a very specific statement about Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who is avatāra. Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the same Supreme Personality of Godhead, but He’s channa. Channa means covered, not directly, because He has appeared as a devotee. Avatāra… Rūpa Gosvāmī has found out that He’s avatāra of Kṛṣṇa. All the devotees, Sārvabhauma Bha
