The devas, the celestial beings, had all the comforts they could aspire for and led a life of pleasure. Though they were free from hunger, thirst, old age and death, they were not really happy. They felt that they lacked something.

The devotees of the Lord are so forbearing that even though they are defamed, cheated, cursed, disturbed, neglected or even killed, they are never inclined to avenge themselves.

Being merciful to the samsaari, he always comes and this is our parampara, tradition

We have to perform devotional service based on the foreground of full knowledge

By rendering devotional service unto the Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna, one immediately acquires causeless knowledge and detachment from the world

O King, no one can know the plan of the Lord [Sri Krishna]. Even though great philosophers inquire exhaustively, they are bewildered

My dear Lord, although it is not Your desire, You manifest this creation of gross and subtle elements just for our sensual satisfaction. Let Your causelessmercy be upon us, for You have appeared before us in Your eternal form, adorned with a splendid wreath of tulasi leaves

To increase the transcendental bliss of the cowherd men of Gokula, this child will always act auspiciously for you. And by His grace only, you will surpass all difficulties.

In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And one who has become accomplished in the practice of devotional service enjoys this knowledge within himself in due course of time

Once they reached Nandigram, Rama told Pushpaka vimana to go back to Kuvera and serve him. Rama could have kept that with Him. But He did not have any attachment to these things. In this way Rama exhibited complete control of His senses and mind through out His life.

Krishna is decorated with a flute adorning His hand, the hue of His body is that of a fresh water-laden cloud, dressed in a golden-yellow cloth and with lips as red as sun or the bimba fruit, with a face as beautiful as the full moon and eyes like lotuses. I know of no truth higher than Krishna

Certainly that heart is steel-framed which, in spite of one's chanting the holy name of the Lord with concentration, does not change when ecstasy takes place, tears fill the eyes and the hairs stand on end

Although I know that nothing material should be asked from You, I nevertheless desire to marry a girl of like disposition

But I left Vrindavana and I am in America now. But for me, it is Vrindavana because I am always with Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavatam and chanting

Whatever bhajan and sadhana you have performed throughout your life will be actually tested at the time of death

My dear Lord, I have been so offensive unto You, but still You are so kind that You have marked my head with the impression of Your lotus feet.

Krishna your lotus feet are inside my heart. Srinivasa, Purushottama please engage me in your devotional service

Certainly that heart is steel-framed which, in spite of one's chanting the holy name of the Lord with concentration, does not change when ecstasy takes place, tears fill the eyes and the hairs stand on end

Don't allow your mind to wander even for a minute, if you allow, it will become so powerful that you will be consumed by the mind's dictations which is completely disastrous for our devotional service

Please, somehow or the other, by our own choice or forced by our circumstances we have come here. But now you are here, better behave as Romans behave.

However in our personal situation when we encounter difficult times we fail to realize it is due to our past offences and fail to see what does Krishna want to teach us

Even the study of Srimad Bhagavatam we should not make it a ritualistic activity, but it should be something natural.

I have realised it most thoroughly that going 'Back to Godhead' is the highest privilege of mankind and that is the supreme perfection of human life

In our devotional service we are privy to various forms of mercy, e.g. opportunities of hearing transcendental nectar - the nectar will work proportional to our mood of receiving.

The more you give place for Krishna to appear in your life, your health will be uplifted. No need of any artificial medicines added on top of it.

Association for sense gratification is certainly the path of bondage. But the same type of association, performed with a saintly person, leads to the path of liberation, even if performed without knowledge

If we are not firmly rooted in our sadhana we will remain in material consciousness by enjoying those things and go further deep in material consciousness.

With your heart cleansed by properly carrying out My command, resigning to Me the fruits of all your acts, you will finally attain to Me.

If we want to do uninterrupted devotional service, Srimad Bhagavatam gives us the secret that you should become unmotivated.

Therefore, please do not ask me to take some material benefits from You, but as a father, not waiting for the son's demand, does everything for the benefit of the son, please bestow upon me whatever You think best for me.
