Vaishnava Speaks

 

When a pure Vaishnava speaks, he speaks perfectly. How is this? His speech is managed by Krishna Himself from within the heart.

CC Madhya 8.200

The Krishna consciousness movement is spreading now all over the world, and sometimes I think that even though I am crippled in many ways, if one of my disciples becomes as strong as Dhruva Maharaj, then he will be able to carry me with him to Vaikunthaloka.

Prayers of the Personified Vedas

 

The power of devotional service is so great that a pure devotee can electrify another person by his transcendental instruction on crossing over the ocean of nescience. Krishna bk, Prayers of the Personified Vedas.

You are my master. I am your servant.

 

In Krishna consciousness we address our contemporaries as "prabhu". Prabhu means master. And the real idea is that "You are my master. I am your servant."

Mission-propagating Krishna Consciousness

 Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur used to say, " If I could perfectly deliver even one soul back home, back to Godhead, I would think my mission-propagating Krishna consciousness-to be successful."
SB 4.12.33

No possibility of Liberation for Humanity

Hridayananda: [break] ...until you have arrived here, there was no possibility of liberation for humanity?

Prabhupada: That you can judge. (laughter) If I say, it will be self-advertisement. But you are intelligent. You can judge. But I have not brought something invented by me. I have brought the Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita. That's all. That's all.
