Devotional service should be the first preference. We do it secondary, third you know! First my computer

Nobody stops us. No situation can stop you from chanting Hare Krishna mantra. Is there any situation, is there anybody stopping you to do this, except your mind. And if the mind does that, is it not worth to take it out and throw it in Brisbane River?

As soon as you go to Krishna with this submissive attitude, then your anguish is gone, completely. Otherwise, you shout and scream, "what type of Krishna is He. I had already managed everything, what did You do? Are you a man of sense?" (laughter) He will also tell you, "What are you doing? Are you a man. I don’t want you to do like this." (laughter)

Granthraj. The King of scriptures. Please if you can’t read, you touch at least. Touch. This is electrification. Haha. you know you touch electricity and you are gone dead. Because you don't want to be dead, please you touch this and you are enlivened. Who stops you from touching? Don’t read! Just touch. Please, it’s so very easy

And don't make this as a ritual, please! You be careful about this. That we have daily we have discussions of Srimad Bhagavatam.

Please Srimad Bhagavatam should always be in your neck you know. So anywhere two minutes you get and you just go through. Keep some dairy, small dairies which you can put in your pocket and write the verses. Any verse you write, any verse you understand and it will be full Bhagavatam. Each verse is full Bhagavatam. Don’t think that one verse is not Bhagavatam. Its non-different from Krishna.

When I depart from this body, what food shall I pack for the journey to the “ other side”? Ayaachyam, akreyam, ayaatayaamam, • It need not be begged – (we go alone); • It need not be bought – (no shops on the way); • It must not decompose – (period is unknown);  apaachyam, akshayyam, adurbharam me; • It must not require cooking – (no stove); • It must not be perishable – (it’s a long trip); • It must not be too heavy – (take in my mind).   Such is the food I need to carry for my soul’s journey from here. (What is suitable?) Shri krishna naama amrita bhaaga dheyam. The ambrosial Name of Sri Krishna! It will be my great good fortune to carry this food! 

If you nicely meditate on the Lord, then Lord will surely be merciful on us.

Sit on the sofa set you have and keep chanting the name of Lord day and night. No need to go anywhere. There is no need to sit in the woods. And there is no need to call any builder to build ant hill. Hahaha ! Otherwise, we will copy Valmiki and tell the builder to prepare the same Ant hill. And I will chant Ram Ram.

Hear only about Him. This is the remedy. We are stuck in the cycle of bhava - birth, death, old age, disease. And this is its remedy.

Pray to Lord everyday, "We have to go one day, let us go in peace.” To die in this world is good. But if you die in such an advanced country, then you will have to go to the hospital after death

Tell the whole world to chant  Bhagavad Gita. It takes about two and half hours, you know, to chant Bhagavad Gita. Just keep on saying it. Keep on chanting. Don't forget, Chapters 12 and 15 should be near our heart.

We have a lot of garbage lying in our mind. And this is not only of this birth, all the garbage of thousands of births is filled here. And to take out this garbage, take the names - Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

it is a great mercy on us that in this life, which was to be ruined just like that, in this life, we got relationship with Krishna. This is the grace of our elders. It's coming from your families. And with so much grace, they have given us nothing else. Just gave us Krishna. By giving Krishna, they have given everything.

Sleeping is in our hands. Taking rest is in our hands. But waking up is not in our hands. This Supersoul who is sitting in the heart, if he doesn't wake you up, then, then and there we are Hari Bol. This is the thing. 

Generally people think that by advancing the cause of moral principles and religious rites they will be happy. Others may think that happiness can be achieved by economic development, and yet others think that simply by sense gratification they will be happy. But the real fact is that people can be happy only by loving Kṛṣṇa.

The things which you don’t want, for you, those market is useless. This is how anything should be useless for us. But not Krishna’s prayers, study, chanting, darshan, seva.

The things that are going to be destroyed, I am not taking it as the truth. That’s why I am running after the eternal things. And that is Krishna. This is the main point. And as soon as we do this, we are successful, otherwise we are unsuccessful everywhere;

Ghee is required as the lubricant for the body. You must have lubricant, otherwise only hard food, dry food will not be digested. There must be some oily product to it. Otherwise how the food is going to be digested? There must be some lubricant in it.

I think that I am healthy because I am eating quite nicely. Nice or not nice, digestion depends upon Him. Those who don’t have anything to eat, they will also survive. And those have minimum to eat and hard labour they have to do, they are also very healthy. Those who have plenty things to eat and maybe they don’t do any labour, then they lose everything, they lose health

By achieving the things, material things, you cannot stop the hankering. But by understanding the real truth, you can be very satisfied.

The things which are not eternally existent, if we take that as the truth, then the miseries are there. This is the source of the misery.

Whatever you offer, really, He gives back intact and more than that. Many times, 2 – 3 people unexpectedly they come. And even then prasad is plenty. If you don’t offer Him then you have scarcity. Without Krishna there is always scarcity. With Krishna, there is plenty.

Please, try to save from this and come to the pages of Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita and don’t leave till you understand it. This verse, again and again the purport should be gone through so that we know the difference between Supersoul and the soul.

To understand both the soul and the Supersoul as one yet distinct is knowledge. One who does not understand the field of activity and the knower of activity is not in perfect knowledge..

Only one way is there, that somehow or other we have to save our skin from the material activities and surrender to Krishna. We can’t get rid of the material activities because of the material body. So, to the minimum extent activities have to go on. And then complete surrender should be there.

If we can, we should have hundreds of acres of land wherein we will not allow the electricity or other developments to go on. We should be completely natural. These are the teachings of Bhagavad Gita. And if we really follow, in whichever condition we are, we will be helped.

We are not mad to become very simple. We are basically very simple so that we would not be victimised by the material advancement. We have changed our clothes, we have completely simplified our living, our food is simple, our habits are simple, these are all very nice. It is required from this point of view

There is no need of extensive travelling also. Traveling is so very increased now, that how much petrol we are consuming. Daily flights are there, from here to America and from here to South America, far away countries which are on the other side of the planet. How much of petrol we should be consuming. This is our modern advancement. And it should have the celestial disturbances.

Moonshine we have stopped by the material advancement of electricity; that is - the celestial influence is disturbed. Result is second thing, the earthly reactions. So, earth has to have the reactions. Nothing grows in the city. And if it grows, the stunted growth is there.

We did not understand the unconditional instructions of the transcendental literatures. In order to get out of these miseries, we must have some guidance which is coming from the higher source. The thing is, we can never get out of it with our concoctions.
