Krishna – The Only Enjoyer
The Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna is the only enjoyer. Everyone and everything else is the object of his enjoyment.
Respect
You cannot show respect to someone unless you are able to truly and humbly appreciate them.
Nature of Spirit Souls – Happiness
Everyone is hankering for happiness because by nature we are happy : anandamayo ‘bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12). As spirit souls we are naturally happy, blissful.
Culture
Philosophy is like a product and culture is like the packaging. Without proper packaging the product will not be protected nor will it even look attractive.
The Most Important Activity
“Our Most Important Activity”
“There is no doubt about it: to distribute books is one most important activity. The temple is not a place for eating & sleeping, but a base from which we send out our soldiers to fight with maya. Fight with maya means to drop thousands and millions of books into the lap of conditioned souls. Just like during war time the bombs are raining from the sky like anything.” – August 03, 1973 to Ramesvara.
Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad-gita can be consulted in all critical times, not only for solace from all kinds of mental agonies, but also for the way out of great entanglements which may embarrass one in some critical hour.
Srimad Bhagavatam 1.15.27,
Srila Prabhupada
Personal Improvement
If we are not striving to improve and go forward, the current of this world will force us to go backward…like swimming upstream in a river.
