Krishna Consciousness is the Life of Eternity

Less intelligent persons are very much interested in dreaming life, but one who is intelligent enough he searches after eternal life. The modern civilization does not understand what is eternal life. They are busy with the spot life of 50 or 100 years. Fools cannot think that one is not for 50 or 100 years, but one is for eternity. Krishna consciousness is the life of eternity.  Krishna consciousness is the process of eternal life. The process is simple and the results are sublime. You follow it and you will be happy in this life as well as in the next.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Nanda Kisora, (San Francisco, December 24, 1967)

Maya and Krishna

The darkness has no existence in the presence of sunlight, similarly Maya cannot exist in the presence of Krishna. As darkness and light exist eternally, similarly, Maya and Krishna exist eternally, but Maya has no existence in the presence of Krishna. Try to understand this simile.

Saving from all kinds of Sinful Reactions

If a man thinks that chanting will save him from all kinds of sinful reaction deliberately committed by him, then he becomes the greatest offender. By chanting Hare Krishna, certainly we become free from all sinful reactions, but that does not mean that we shall deliberately commit sins and counteract it by chanting.

Child is the Father of Man

Child is the father of man, so the basic principle of any type of life is to instruct to the children from the very beginning - Krishna Consciousness. Children grow to be the topmost leaders of the human society. 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Hamsaduta, (Los Angeles, January 22, 1968)

Award Unlimited Transcendental Pleasure

The faith increases in Krishna Consciousness by our voluntary increase of serving Krishna. Serving Krishna is unlimited and he can accept our unlimited service, and award us unlimited transcendental pleasure in the unlimited service of the Lord. That is the meaning of unlimited.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Brahmananda, (Los Angeles, February 20, 1968)

Krishna Consciousness

Krishna Consciousness is so nice that if one takes part in it in either ways, like hearing, chanting, remembering, worshiping, praying, or even simply by eating prasadam, the transcendental effect will be visible.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Lynn, (Calcutta, November 23, 1967)

Serving the Lotus Feet of the Supreme Lord

We are all conditioned souls so we are affected by Maya, but if we sincerely chant and serve, our attachment for Krishna will be revived and we will no more have to come under this Maya. Eternally we will be serving the Lotus Feet of the Supreme Lord.
