Essence: “We are out here on the order of Guru and Gauranga. We are out here to deliver these people from repetition of birth and death. And to give them Krishna. You have to overcome lethargy due to humid conditions. I think more than any thing else, it is seeing the devotees happy and enlivened in Krishna consciousness, that brings people to the festival. So be enthusiastic.”

Essence: “This process chanting, hearing is so easy, why don’t people take it? Because they are addicted to sense gratification. We have to help them overcome this addiction. It is very easy they simply have to hear and chant. And that is our life as tour devotees – Just sit and chant Hare Krishna and go out on streets and dance to the Holy Names.”

Please be there!

Essence: “Unless you regularly come to the morning program, you will lose spiritual strength and you won’t be able to continue to the end. One rule is when you get back in the night go straight to bed. Email, those things, talking walking around, laughing, joking we don’t have time to do that. This is a very intense program”.

Sadhana->Bhava->Prema

Essence: “So actually this is the beginning we are training ourselves to do all these for Krsna, by this vaidhi or sadhana, it is a little hard in the beginning, but then it will become natural (bhava) and eventually it will become prema, Love of God”.

Discover the hidden treasure

Essence: “…Love of Godhead is hidden in the hearts of Pure devotees. But it has to be discovered and enjoyed by sincere seekers of Absolute Truth….Qualified or Unqualified, ignorant or knowledgeable, what ever we may be, if we just join the kirtan of our Spiritual Master, and loudly chant the Holy names of the Lord for benefit of others, eventually cheto darpana marjanam, our hearts will become purified and by Guru’s grace everything we need to know about Krishna will be revealed.”

Greatest Satisfaction

Verse: Srimad Bhagavatham – 7.7.32

Essence: “For me greatest satisfaction is when I see people have a genuine change of heart…that’s my goal of life. Because I know that pleases my Spiritual Master more than anything. “

Eternally indebted

Essence: “You can never repay debt you owe to your Spiritual Master. You can never put a price on what Spiritual Master gives you. It is priceless. Although we cannot pay, we still have to try. How do we try to pay – by pleasing the Spiritual Master by preaching Krishna consciousness”

Convincing the obvious

Verse: Srimad Bhagavatham – 7.7.29

Essence: “It is just amazing that it is so obvious that if you try to enjoy material life, you are going to suffer more. But people don’t catch it. We foolishly hold on to these material desires, despite of the fact of the experience of superiority of Krishna Consciousness.”
