We are the only hope for the human society to receive real knowledge, and our books are the only real thing. It may take some time, but one day all this rubbish literature, rubbish philosophy, rubbish culture will be replaced. TNOBD Pg 169 Chap 04.
A devotee is always begging the Lord for His mercy.
Prabhupada is most grateful when we render service to Krishna sincerely and it is by His mercy that we will be able to go back to the spiritual sky.
Unless one who takes shelter under the shade of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, it will be very difficult for him to approach Radha-Krishna.
My Guru Maharaj used to say,”Don’t worry about the money. Do something nice for Krishna and money will come.” So we should always be thinking how to distribute the message of Krishna, and surely he will give us facility. Even an ordinary man, if the wants publicity, then he gives so much money for the propagnada works. Similarly, Krishna is not poor. He can supply any amount for the devotees engaged in brodcasting his glories.
Anyone whose work is not meant to elevate him to religious life, anyone whose religious ritualistic performances do not raise him to renunciation and anyone situated in renunciation that does not lead him to devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead must be considered dead, although he is breathing. – Srimad Bhagavatam, 03.23.56.
The Lord protects everyone, but one who depends completely upon Him is especially looked after by the Lord.
Srimad Bhagavatam 1.8.8,
Srila Prabhupada
If we feel unqualified and feel grateful for an opportunity to serve, then Krishna will bestow in our hearts.
The Materialistic person reads the newspaper, but devotees read Srimad-Bhagavatam. That is the difference. Both are reading, but the subject matter is different.
In this age, therefore, the only practical yajna is sankirtana-yajna, or chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra twenty-four hours a day.
