Surrendered unto Krishna

So long we are individual souls, there must be disagreement also, because that is the symptom of individuality. But when such individual is surrendered unto Krishna, there should not be any disagreement 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Anirudha, (Allston, May 30, 1968)

Krishna and Vrindavan Connection

We should always know that Vrindavan is not localized in a particular area, but that wherever Krishna is there, Vrindavan is automatically there. And wherever the Holy Name of Krishna is chanted, Krishna is present there because there is no difference between Krishna and His Holy Name.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Kirtanananda, (Allston, May 23, 1968)

Science of God

 

First take the science of God very seriously, then put your trust in Him.

Devotional Service

Execution of devotional service is prescribed first with enthusiasm and patience. One can execute this transcendental activities staying as he is, but he must follow and try to apply in practical life the instructions as they are given in the Bhagavad-gita or Srimad-Bhagavatam, received through the proper channel.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Dayananda, (Allston, May 10, 1968)

Ambition for Chanting Hare Krishna

Your ambition for chanting Hare Krishna exclusively is very good. But sacrificing the results of action is as good. A concrete example is Arjuna. He fought very chivalrously under the instructions of the Lord, and the Lord certified him to be the best devotee and friend of the Lord. So there is no distinction between chanting and offering the results of one's activity. Sometimes under the garb of chanting people take to the habit of laziness.

 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Dayananda, (Allston, May 10, 1968)

Lord of the Universe

All glories to Lord Kesava, who assumed the form of a dwarf. O lord of the universe, who takes away everything inauspicious for the devotees! O wonderful Vamanadeva! You tricked the great demon Bali Maharaja by Your steps. The water that touched the nails of Your lotus feet when You pierced through the covering of the univers purifies all living entities in the form of the River Ganges.

Employed in the Service of the Lord

There are four things desirable in this material world, namely, good parentage, sumptuous wealth, sufficient education, and good beauty. These things are sometimes impediments in the service of the Lord because such persons with great parentage, wealth, etc., become materially puffed up, and thus deviate from Krishna Consciousness, but when they are employed in the service of the Lord, their value becomes many more times greater. Just like zero has no value, but when zero is placed on right side of one, the value of zero enhances to 10 times; similarly, our life, wealth, intelligence, and words become 100 times 100 greater and greater if they are employed in the service of the Lord.
