Book distribution is also chanting. These books I have recorded and chanted and they are transcribed. It is spoken kirtanas. So book distribution is also chanting. These are not ordinary books. It is recorded chanting. Anyone who reads, he is hearing. Book distribution must not be neglected. – Letter to: Rupanuga: Mayapur, 19 October, 1974, Atlanta.
Your enthusiasm to serve vaishnava should increase.. Then your faith becomes stronger in remembering Krishna.
Srila Prabhupada has given us the perfect process. Now mold yourself according to that and I assure you that you will go back to Godhead.
When we hear about the Lord, we should hear with a spirit to serve the Lord. When we chant his names, we should chant so that He is pleased to hear us chanting. That is the beauty of life, the real art of living.
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s special mission is the deliverance of all fallen souls in Kali-yuga. Devotees of Krishna must persistently seek the favor and mercy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to become fit to return home, back to Godhead.
Chaitanya Caritamrta,
Madhya Lila 14.16
The Spider, who spins his web from his mouth and then withdraws it, similarly the Supreme Personality of Godhead creats out of Himself the whole universe and then winds it up into Himself.
To transform the adverse desire of the jivas is the supreme duty of the most merciful. To rescue one person from the strong hold of Mahamaya is an act of superb benevolence.
Just going to the temples, mosques and churches is not enough. Behind these actions, there needs to be a proper understanding of God.
The difference between a devotee & a novdevotee is just like the bee and the fly.. The bee is always attracted by the honey and fly goes to the open sores. So the devotee is only attracted by the good qualities in other people & does not see their faults.
