Vibration of the Hare Krishna Mantra

The vibration of the Hare Krishna mantra is coming from Krishna's planet, Goloka. And this chanting produces love of Krishna.

Render Good Sound Service to Krishna

We should always remember that our body is not for sense gratification; it is for Krishna's service only. And to render very good sound service to Krishna we should not neglect the upkeep of the body… Try to take care of your health in the best possible way.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Rayarama, (Los Angeles, February 9, 1969)

Qualification for Krishna Consciousness

Sincerity of purpose is the only qualification for Krishna Consciousness. Sri Narottama das Thakura says that he hankers after the company of any person, never mind whether he is in the renounced order of life or in householder life, just as long as he is merged into the ocean of Krishna Consciousness.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Anirudha, (Los Angeles, February 13, 1969)

Spiritual Realization

The best means of spiritual realization is chanting the holy name.

Pray to Krishna to help you

Whenever you feel some difficulty, chant Hare Krishna. Pray to Krishna to help you, and there will be no difficulty.

 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Hayagriva, (San Francisco, September 9, 1968)

The Super Soul

The Super soul is present in all bodies without distinction.

Success in Krishna Consciousness.

Devotional service means that we have to employ our energies for the purpose of Krishna Consciousness, and it does not matter what is the volume of such energy, because different persons have got different type of energies, but the best means is that one has to apply his energy as far as possible, that is the secret of success in Krishna Consciousness.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Anirudha, (Montreal, August 24, 1968)

Power of Chanting the Hare Krishna

One may or may not know the power of chanting the Hare Krishna mantra, but if one chants the holy name he will become free from all sinful reactions.

Spiritual Enjoyment of Life is the Reality

The best thing is that every intelligent man must try to finish this business of Krishna Consciousness in this life. Finishing means one has to conclude that he has no more any necessity for material enjoyment. Spiritual enjoyment of life is the reality, and when one is perfectly prepared to accept spiritual enjoyment, and completely understands the uselessness of material enjoyment, that is the perfectional point of view.

 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Anirudha, (Montreal, August 24, 1968)

Satisfaction of the Soul

Satisfaction of the soul can only be obtained by questions and answers on the subject of Krishna

Material Demands

Eating, sleeping, mating, all these are material demands; the more we minimize, then that is good, but not at the risk of health. Because we have to work for Krishna, so we must maintain our health nicely. But we should not eat more than is required for maintaining body and soul together.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Unknown, (Montreal, August 23, 1968)

Love of God

 

Love of God is not an ordinary commodity

Cleansing Process of the Mind

Without cleaning the mind, nobody can advance in spiritual understanding. And the chanting of Hare Krishna is the cleansing process of the mind. That is our motto.

 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Unknown, (Montreal, August 23, 1968)

A Devotee of Krishna

Real knowledge is expounded in Bhagavad-gita: "Just become Krishna conscious, Just Worship Krishna and become a devotee of Krishna.

Active in Krishna's Service

One should always remain active in Krishna's service, otherwise the strong maya will catch him and engage him in her service.

 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Hayagriva, (Montreal, July 14, 1968)

Award the Profit from Krishna's

Generally, people are inclined to do business or make profit for sense gratification; such tendency is the cause of material bondage. But to act for Krishna is the cause for opening the door for liberation. So, I shall not try to implicate you in business if you are not ready to award the profit for Krishna's benefit.

 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Vinode Patel, (Montreal, July 6, 1968)

Lord is just like a Cloud

The Lord is just like a cloud which pours rain all over, regardless of whether it falls on rock or land or water. But for His devotees, He gives specific attention.

Lord Chaitanya's Mantra

In India, if a man is bitten by a serpent, it used to be, and still is in some places, that an expert man would chant a mantra, and apply some herbs, and the serpent-bitten man would be saved from death. Similarly, we are bitten by the maya-serpent, and the mantra to save us is Hare Krishna. It is Lord Chaitanya's mantra.

 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Rupanuga, (Montreal, July 3, 1968)

Chant Hare Krishna without any Offense

Chanting of Hare Krishna is not meant for achieving any other better thing than Krishna. But when we chant Hare Krishna without any offense, we relish Krishna, the reservoir of all pleasure.

 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Kirtanananda, (Montreal, July 14, 1968)

Living Entity Protection

When a son puts himself fully under his father's protection, he receives more care. Similarly when the living entity is fully surrendered to Krishna, Krishna takes total charge and gives special protection.

Regularly Chant Hare Krishna

Please regularly chant Hare Krishna, read Srimad-Bhagavatam, Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Teachings of Lord Chaitanya, and always read and talk about Krishna between yourselves, and always remember that this life is but a flash only. We have to seek after our eternal life in Krishna Consciousness and be transferred to the spiritual world in the association of Krishna.
 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Dayananda, (Montreal, July 7, 1968)

Sign of Recovery of Material Diseases

We have to wait for the cure of our material diseases, and proportionately as we become recovered from the disease,the supplies of pleasant things will automatically come. But we must always know that there is nothing more pleasant than Hare Krishna. When we will be able to relish the transcendental pleasure, in chanting Hare Krishna, that will be the sign of our recovery from material diseases.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Tamala Krishna, (Montreal, July 16, 1968)

Transcendental form of God

 

The Lord is the transcendental form of eternity, cognition and beauty.

Sincere Service to Krishna

Everyone should appreciate the value of other devotees. Nobody should criticize anyone. Because everyone is engaged in the service of the Lord, according to one's capacity, and the thing is, Krishna wants to see how much one is sincere in rendering Him service. Materially we may think that his service is greater than his, that is our material vision.

 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Tamala Krishna, (Montreal, August 19, 1968)

Serve the Lord by Universal Entities

The Lord can be served by any ingredient, even the most common commodity -- a flower, a leaf, a fruit or little water, which are available in any part of the universe and without cost -- and thus the Lord is served universally by the universal entities.

Injecting Hare Krishna Medicine

We want to distribute our literature and books within as well as our prasadam, and injecting our Hare Krishna medicine within the ear. So, reading of the literature and hearing of the chanting is the medicine, and prasadam is the diet. So, if diet and medicine are properly administered the disease of Maya will be cured. But the physician must be always healthy. People may not say, physician is ill thyself. That means the preachers must be of highly elevated character, following strictly the rules and regulations and chanting regularly in the temple.
