Srila Prabhupada Nectar & Quote
Hare Krishna
Srila Prabhupada's Quote
if we try to execute such specific duty sincerely,
that alone can make us much more advanced in Krishna Consciousness.
In the Bhagavad-gita, it is stated that for the fixed up devotee there is one duty.
♫ "Whenever pure
topics of the transcendental world are discussed, the members of the audience
forget all kinds of material hankerings, at least for the time being. Not only
that, but they are no longer envious of one another, nor do they suffer from
anxiety or fear." SB 4.30.35 (Prachetas prayers)

Hare Krishna
Srila Prabhupada's Quote
Devotional service means to apply one's energy in the service of Krishna.
That is the instruction of the Bhagavad-gita…
we cannot understand about Krishna with our limited potency and senses,
but if we engage ourselves in the service of the Lord,
He will reveal Himself to the faithful servitor…
The more we learn about Krishna from the authoritative sources,
the more we can be attached in Krishna Consciousness.
It is easy to sit up and take notice.
What is difficult is getting up
and taking action.
Hare Krishna
Srila Prabhupada's Quote
So if you follow the instruction and if we chant, even though we do not understand in the beginning what is the effect of chanting Hare Krishna mantra, but it will show its effect if you go on chanting. Just like I began this movement in America. I did not ask them anything; I simply invited them, “Please come and chant with me.” And just see the result. It is practical. I never bribed them, nor I showed any magic. I simply asked them, “Chant Hare Krishna.” And see the result. It is practical.
To be able to shape your future,
you have to be willing and able
to change your paradigm.
Hare Krishna
Srila Prabhupada's Quote
On the spiritual platform, the service rendered by a calf to Krishna
and service rendered by Radharani and Her Associates, to Krishna, there is no difference.
Krishna is so kind and liberal that everyone's service,
when it is sincerely offered to Krishna, He accepts.

Quote of the Day
There comes a point in your life, when you realize who really matters, who never did, and who always will.
As
we grow and mature in life, we come to realize that there is a point in
our lives that we have to be willing to simply let some people go. Not
everyone is in your life for your benefit. Sometimes people only seek to
control you, and will use any type of manipulation in an effort to do
so. Some will try and judge you and condemn you, some will try to make
you feel as if you are no good without their help, and some are only in
to reap some sort of benefit from your life when you do start to
accomplish great things.
Only a few people in your life will really matter. Remember to keep in
prayer, and know that in whatever you do, there will always be people
wanting to ride along. Some will be with you for the right reasons, and
some will be with you for the wrong reasons. Continue to be who you are,
and never be afraid to follow your heart when it comes to putting trust
in other people. Have faith on Lord & accept Lord as everything in your life.
Hare Krishna
Srila Prabhupada's Quote
We should learn to forget and forgive minor incidents
because whenever there are two men in a place,
there is always some misunderstanding.
Such misunderstanding happens even between husband and wife—what to speak of others.
But we have to adjust things on the basis of Krishna Consciousness…
Chant Hare Krishna sincerely and all good intelligence consultation shall come from within.
Krishna says that, ‘those who are engaged in My service, I give intelligence for his progressive march’.
