Always Being A Sannyasi
If your consciousness is absorbed in Krishna, you are always a sanyasi. – In his letter to Jayananda, September 29, 1967.
Best Gainer
By offering everything to Krishna, nobody is loser. They are gainer, the best gainer.
Srimad Bhagavatam 1.3.19,
Los Angeles, September 24, 1972,
Srila Prabhupada.
Importance of Sankirtana Mission
In this age, chanting of Hare Krishna Mantra is the prime business of the devotee, and preaching of this Hare Krishna Mantra by outdoor Sankirtana and propagation of literature is our more important business. Side by side, Deity worship is recommended, but when there is a question of accepting one of them, we shall prefer to accept chanting of Hare Krishna Mantra first.
Letter to Hamsaduta – Hamburg 5 September, 1969.
Being Happy
We are like fish out of water. Just as a fish cannot be happy unless he is in the water, we cannot be happy apart from the spiritual world.
