A Prayer to Lord Govinda
0 handsome Lord Govinda, we happily bow down to offer our respects to you. Please be kind and give us a drop of the pure love that completely eclipses the moon of nondevotional philosophy.
Higher Principle
We have to be very enthusiastic and eager to accomplish wonderful things for God, but it must always be with a focus on the higher principle. It must always be harmonized with the higher principle of pleasing Him.
Pure Devotees
Pure devotees, who take transcendental pleasure in hearing and chanting the glories of the Lord, do not care for any kind of liberation; even if they are offered the five liberations, they refuse to accept them
Showing Our Determination
Practical action is the best way to show our determination. So while chanting, we should show our determination to be attentive. This attracts Krishna's attention.
The Lord of Your Heart
By chanting of Hare Krishna, you have the Lord with you and He satisfies you. He pleases you. You are pleased with your Lord. He is also the Lord of your heart.
Glories of Worshiping Krishna
If one is worshiping Lord Hari [Krishna], what is the use of performing extraneous penances? On the other hand, if one is not worshiping Lord Hari, no such penances will save one.
Ideal Vaishnava
The highest is the Vaishnava. Ideal vaishnava means he is a parama-hamsa. That means he is not envious from anybody. He is always thinking how to take others back to Godhead.
Preaching
A good dancer does not blame the stage! A good cook does not blame the utensils! A good engineer does not blame the instruments, so a good preacher does not blame the field of his preaching.
Pleasing Lord Hari
Although by taking bath in Radhakunda one becomes very dear to Lord Sri Hari, still, if he takes bath anywhere in the name of pleasing Lord Hari, he pleases him as well.
Gradually Chanting Offenselessly
The chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra is recommended even for persons who commit offenses, because if they continue chanting they will gradually chant offenselessly.
