Dwaraka is also same like this, the temple is tall and all around, we can see the roads and small houses. This is Vedic tradition. 

So this struggle should be seriously continued and never stopped. satataṁ kīrtayanto māṁ, yatantaś ca dṛḍha-vratāḥ, with full detemination, regularly you have to struggle. But this struggle is more tolerable and easy than other material struggles. This struggle is very easy, but the thing is because we don't, want to reduce our sense gratification, that's why we feel that it is difficult.

This is how please, we have to be very patient regarding Kṛṣṇa also. But without Him there is no other way. nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva. Three times it is repeated, gatir anyathā. There is no other way. This is the only way.

Those who sincerely allow Kṛṣṇa to be in their house and in their heart, they are not inauspiscious at all. How to insist I don't know, but this is the purport of this.

We treat deities as stone, we don't serve Them properly, we don't offer properly, we don't do anything. And again and time and again, the deities have proved that They remove all the obstacles and these things are very correct. So the, the purport is that, if we really sincerely allow Kṛṣṇa in our life, everything will be completely clean and clear.

We thought that if we get a deity of the Lord, then everything will be auspicious. So someone from Surat got us Rukmini Dwarakadish and ever since They came, no one talks anything.

See this fighting is not between me or you. It is between you and Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa wants to come here and Kṛṣṇa will never lose. And regarding the question of my death or life, thank you very much if you kill me here. Who will get the good fortune to die in Dwarka

Where one foot of land is not available, but just he agrees to chant and to serve, these two things, immediately he is taken out from the drain to the 5th floor. And again suppose he goes berserk, then again from 5th floor back to drain.

Temple is far away there, then your house becomes the temple. So some how or the other kālaḥ parama-śobhanaḥ, as soon as Kṛṣṇa, let Him come in your life means, He appears and as soon as He appears, anytime it becomes very favourable. 

And here I am telling you that if you miss mangala arati, whenever you get time, you perform mangala arati. That is auspicious, kālaḥ parama-śobhanaḥ. From this we learn. But we should not make it a practice. We should be nityam, regularly.

Please you find out the alternative for sickness, an alternative for boredom and this is the best alternative. And as soon as you come to Him, He can control anything really. So He can control your stars also.

Anytime we get up you please perform mangala arati. Please! Please! Don't leave it. So far as possible 6'o clock is not that early. Suppose you have to run to the school or whatever. Then whenever you come back, perform mangala arati. Some how or the other mangala arati process should be there.

And as soon as you come to Kṛṣṇa, one of the best qualities of Kṛṣṇa is, always we are in the mode of goodness. And if we are in the mode of goodness, the misunderstandings are completely absent. That's the best benefit.

You know, you saw today we performed mangala arati, and heavy rainfall was there. I told you in the morning that if we would not have been in mangala arati, if you would have been in bed, then our throat will be choked, "Oh! It's raining, it's raining, come on sleep." Again in the mode of ignorance, but because we are in mangala arati, the rain did its work and we did our work.

As soon as the minimum necessities are met, we should really utilize every second of our existence to study these things. And not only study but then you need to think about it.  As soon as you study and think about it new realizations take place. Your life is bound to improve. To improve our life style minimum necessities are required.

We want to have roof on our head, we want to have some prasadam and some clothes to wear that’s enough. As soon as the basic necessities are meant we are quite alright

So far I can say Krishna's names, I am on the top of the hill. The day my remembrance is gone about Krishna, then that is the greatest difficulty. Other difficulties we don't mind.

Every now and then there is a renewal of the circumstance. Sometimes they are bad and sometimes they are good according to our material calculation. But when we come to Krishna’s topics, so our material existence becomes secondary.

Everything will be arranged as per our own karma, according to our destiny, according to our own endeavors, everything will be there. In any situation, we try to learn to tolerate by bhakti.

And when you become angry, you please go to mirror and see your face. (laughter) It is monkey like.  Monkey’s face is natural, but our face is worse than monkey. Really when you are angry you go and see, immediately you will stop and say, "Am I, am I like this?" 

You are angry, but you don’t speak. If at all, if you want to speak, have japa mala and chant one round of Mahamantra and then speak. By the time you complete Mahamantra round, by the time, the anger might be subsided. 

By rising and setting of the sun, the life of everyone decreases.  Nobody can deny this. Day is gone. Then our one day is gone. This is the rule.

Dear Lord, we may not be able to remember Your name, form and qualities due to stumbling, hunger, falling down, yawning or being in a miserable diseased condition at the time of death when there is a high fever. We therefore pray unto You, O Lord, for You are very affectionate to Your devotees. Please help us remember You and utter Your holy names, attributes and activities, which can dispel all the reactions of our sinful lives.

Service on the bodily plane dwindles as the body grows older, but the spirit is never old, and therefore on the spiritual plane the service is never tiresome.

It is said that the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening and its business is to reduce the duration of everyone’s life. But the sunrise and sunset cannot diminish the life of one who engages in Krishna consciousness.

What is the value of a prolonged life which is wasted, inexperienced by years in this world? Better a moment of full consciousness, because that gives one a start in searching after his supreme interest. 

The foolish man does not know that a particular term of bodily existence is awarded to him to undergo a term of imprisonment, and the human body is awarded, after many, many births and deaths, as a chance for self-realization to go back home, back to Godhead.

At Vṛndāvana there is a tamarind tree (the place is known as Imlitala) which is said to have existed since the time of Lord Kṛṣṇa. In the Calcutta Botanical Garden there is a banyan tree said to be older than five hundred years, and there are many such trees all over the world. Svāmī Śaṅkarācārya lived only thirty-two years, and Lord Caitanya lived forty-eight years.

The greatest opportunity is to have the association of a saintly person

Surdas said, "I am sorry Badshah. But I am not in need of anything." Akbar insisted, "No. You have to ask me something. Else I will not let you go."

So now it is our duty to train these young persons. And how to train our young persons? Unless you follow, they will not follow.
