  • "Although it is subservient, varnasrama dharma being a material system given by the Lord it is a perfect system, which we need to understand and which we need to implement as much as possible. Here are further quotes from Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur, “But a devotee who desires to properly pass his life still accepts his duties according to varnasrama, as those duties are favorable to devotional service and counted as part of devotional service. All these activities are no longer called karma.” [SBL 2: Prayasa] All the activities within the framework of varnasrama when performed in that consciousness don’t incur karma."

    HH Bhakti Raghava Swami

  • "The same thing, we are preaching. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. It is nothing new. It is coming down from the original speaker, Kṛṣṇa, by disciplic succession. So we are reading this Bhagavad-gītā. Not that I have manufactured some book and I am preaching. No. I am preaching Bhagavad-gītā. The same Bhagavad-gītā as it was first spoken forty millions of years ago to the sun-god and again it was repeated five thousand years ago to Arjuna. The same thing is coming down by disciplic succession, and the same thing is presented before you. There is no change."

  • Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is always the most worshipable Deity of the demigods,

    including Lord Siva and Lord Brahma, who came in the garb of ordinary men, bearing love

    for Him. He instructs His own pure devotional service to His own devotees. Will He again

    become visible before the path of my eyes?*

    Comment:  Is it by rare and great good fortune that, while being tossed upon the waves of material energies and feelings, that we happen to come up head first upon that entire ocean, through a life preservor? Our great fortune in finding Srila Prabhupada is like this. This is the purposive all-knowing mercy of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. His blessing is the needed flotation device to deliver us to the Divine Boat of the Soul Chanting the Holy Names.

    As Nimai, he chose prema bhakti, so we should chose the path that pays the greatest wages in such prema...

    The Mahajanas know what is truth, and they chose to reveal it to us by thier adoration of Shri Krishna Chaitanya.

    As Maheswara, associate of Praudha Maya in the Mayapura dhama, he shouts Gauranga- nama in the ears of Vaisnavas passing away in that place, to deliver them. Lord Brahma is sometimes said to be in Srila Haridasa Thakura, what more can be said of pure devotional service?

    A liberated person enjoys happiness by factual experience. He can, therefore, sit silently at any place and enjoy the activities of life from within.

    BG 6.30: For one who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am never lost, nor is he ever lost to Me.
