Happiness and distress are like the summer and winter seasons, without any endeavor they visit us and we need to just tolerate them.

We have a huge responsibility; the responsibility is not to convert the entire universe, but to change ourselves.

Even we know theoretically that no one will carry any facilities from this material world at the time of death. Still we desire to acquire it. Everyone of us have their own role model to get to a high position in the society. We do not know the destination of role models after death..

A devotee of the Lord is guaranteed eternal life. A devotee's old age or disease in the present life is but an impetus to such guaranteed eternal life

It is only a sign of His bent of mind towards the cause of His devotee because that is His transcendental nature. Therefore, even if He is angry, the object of anger is blessed.

There is no question of happiness in this material world, either individually or in terms of family, society or country. If something is going on in the name of happiness, that is also illusion

You are an indeterminable one, an inaccessible one, one with His self conquered, the supreme among righteous souls, Your glory is unmitigated, and You are the one with clear discrimination, and in endurance earth-like, and Your eyes are blood-streaked like those of an emperor.

Just see how Dhruva Maharaja, aggrieved at the harsh words of his stepmother, went to the forest at the age of only five years and under my direction underwent austerity. Although the Supreme Personality of Godhead is unconquerable, Dhruva Maharaja defeated Him with the specific qualifications possessed by the Lord's devotees

May my Lord, who is four-handed and whose beautifully decorated lotus face, with eyes as red as the rising sun, is smiling, kindly await me at that moment when I quit this material body

Please, therefore, describe the Almighty Lord’s activities which you have learned by your vast knowledge of the Vedas, for that will satisfy the hankerings of great learned men and at the same time mitigate the miseries of the masses of common people who are always suffering from material pangs

The father likes to see the son become more famous than himself. The Lord declares very emphatically that worship of His devotee is more valuable than the worship of the Lord Himself

The Personality of Godhead said: If I especially favor someone, I gradually deprive him of his wealth. Then the relatives and friends of such a poverty-stricken man abandon him. In this way he suffers one distress after another

Krishna is like a discount emporium. Whole year He gives you subsidies. During Karthik and Purushottam month the subsidies increases. The only qualification to get this discount is how much we surrender unto Him

One should not be satisfied merely by visiting the places of pilgrimage and performing one’s prescribed duties.

For one who is always self-satisfied there is no distress; indeed, he feels happiness everywhere

We may not have the capacity or potency to purify the others by our preaching, but we can be sure that our own purification takes place by our attempt to preach the glories of the Lord.

Pure love for Krsna is eternally established in the hearts of living entities. It is not something to be gained from another source. When the heart is purified by hearing and chanting, the living entity naturally awakens.

Generally in old age a person is allowed retirement from mundane service but in the transcendental service of the Lord, there is no retirement. Deity worship is the process which leads us to continuous remembrance of the Lord.

Even if one is in the material mode of passion, to create something in the world he has to take shelter of the Supreme for the necessary energy. That is the path of the successful termination of any attempt.

One cannot do anything unless he is enlightened and empowered by the Lord.

How many of us do flare up in devotional service, when the going was good?

Oh Janardhana, by my constant and uninterrupted on You, I have been bestowed with Your grace. I now have a feeling that I’m youthful and able to expound all the Dharmas, by Your grace again."

If you lead a sinful life in younger age don't expect a comfortable life in the old age

It is only when we completely surrender unto the safe lotus feet of Lord Krishna and perform only pure devotional service unto Him, then we can become immune to the pangs of material existence

Pride is what is stopping you from waking up for mangala arati

There is one easy weapon with which the mind can be conquered — neglect

You earn money and you put large part of it for Krishna and you say whatever is balance, with that I will take care of my family.

My dear sons of the King, I am very much pleased by the friendly relationships among you. All of you are engagedin one occupation - devotional service. I am so pleased with your mutual friendship that I wish you all good fortune. Now you may ask a benediction of Me

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, the controller of both the transcendental and mundane worlds, has graciously overtaken me in the form of a brahmana’s curse.

Krishna's plan is that as soon as the living entity is promoted by gradual evolution to the platform of human life, he has to understand his spiritual position. This cannot be understood unless the senses and mind are in control.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of the fallen souls. His mercy turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains.
