Secret of Success
Unless you are obedient, submissive, surrendered, and unless you carry out Gurus order, you cannot achieve any success.
Constructive Criticism
Let the authorities find fault. That is called constructive criticism. Better not point out faults in others if we are not given authority.
Spiritual Integrity
You can see outside Iskcon how everyone is fighting. But here is little peaceful. Everyone is working together.
Spiritual Advancement
1. Prabhupad said, “Don’t stay kanishtha-adhikari. At least become a madhyama-adhikari”.
2. We should ask ourselves, am I enjoying devotional service? Just putting tilaka-mala is external. Is anything changed inside? Otherwise.. ‘griham-andha-kupam’. Dress may de there but inside.. I and mine. One who is more advanced, the more humble he becomes.

Spiritual Intelligence
In the beginning of the movement Prabhupada used to say, “This movement is for intelligent persons. Many may come but only the intelligent will survive”.
Understanding the inconcievable
According to scriptures, one aspect of Giriraj is that he is non-different from Krishna. But another aspect is that He is the greatest devotee of Krishna. This way you can see it inconceivably that devotee and Krishna are same but at the same time different. So it is very subtle. I won’t go into details. Every one won’t understand. You have to chant Hare Krishna, render devotional service, read scriptures, then you will understand.
