Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bonafide spiritual master by the grace of Krishna. By the mercy of both Krishna and the spiritual masters, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service.

Krishna is my life, my breath, my everything. Without Him, I am nothing.

If we examine our own lives, we find that sometimes we are being used as the instruments of maya, to create disharmony and discord among other Vaishnavas. We become the greatest enemy of Krishna, in the name of His devotee.

Actually, when your heart is pained to see the suffering of others, it awakens actual spiritual ecstasy. Why? As it is pleasing Krishna, and we are sharing Krishna’s spirit of love in a mood of servitude.

Absorb ourselves in the supreme of all prayers, the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, fix our mind begging for service and begging for the power to please the Lord by our service, because in essence the success of our service is how we please Krishna.

The name of Krishna is like nectar to my ears; it fills my soul with joy and ecstasy.

The person who survives the clutches of maya is the person who prays each and every moment for Krishna to save him.

Our spiritual advancement is based on how Krishna sees us.

Krishna is my guru, my guide, my friend. He leads me on the path of love and devotion.

First birth is from your parents, but real birth, real life, begins when one accepts a bona fide spiritual master and renders service unto him. Then the path is open for going back to home, back to Godhead, to live eternally in full knowledge and full bliss and in association with the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, Lord Krishna.

The spiritual master and Krishna are two parallel lines. The train, on two tracks, moves forward. The spiritual Master and Krishna are like these two tracks. They must be served simultaneously. Krishna helps one to find bona fide Spiritual Master and bona fide Spiritual Master helps one to understand Krishna. If one does not get bona fide Spiritual Master, then how he can ever understand Krishna? You cannot serve Krishna without Spiritual Master, or serve just Spiritual Master without serving Krishna. They must be served simultaneously.

Work, my children, work with your whole heart and soul! That is the thing. Mind not the fruit of work. What if you go to hell working for others? That is worth more than to gain heaven by seeking your own salvation... Sri Ramakrishna came and gave his life for the world. I will also sacrifice my life.

Love of God within our heart is not our property; it is Srimati Radharani’s property. It can be awakened only by Her grace. It has to be directed towards Krishna. When it is directed towards Krishna, it expands to the whole universe i.e., you love each and every part and parcel of Krishna.

Every word has a two-fold aspect; conveying a meaning based on knowledge and a meaning based on ignorance. The aspects of words that indicate something other than Krishna, Visnu or Sri Caitanya, conveys the meaning based on ignorance. In knowledge everything indicates Krishna and signifies Krishna.

Krishna is only decorated by the love of His devotees and similarly for devotees, their only decoration is their heart full of love for Krishna.

My heart is like a flower, blooming in the garden of love; Krishna is the gardener who tends to it with care.

If our desires, words and actions are offered in the spirit of service to the supreme Lord Sri Krishna, then Krishna will personally reciprocate with His love.

Essentially the living entity within material existence has two choices. To be a puppet of maya on the strings of the three modes of material nature or to be a puppet of Krishna on the strings of His love, and compassion.

A spiritual master who is one hundred percent Krishna conscious is the bona fide spiritual master.

There is a word Kristos in the Greek dictionary, and this word is supposed to be borrowed from the Sanskrit word "Krishna," and Christ is derived from Kristos.

My love for Krishna is such that it cannot be expressed; it can only be felt within the heart.
