Surrender to Krishna

 

That is also stated in the Bhagavad-gita. Aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami: [Bg. 18.66] "If you surrender unto Me, then I'll give you protection from all sinful reactions." So if you make it a vow that "I shall not eat anything which is not offered to Krishna," that means it is a surrender. You surrender to Krishna, that "My dear Lord, I shall not eat anything which is not offered to You." That's vow. That vow is surrender. And because there is surrender, you are protected from the sinful reaction.

Jai Srila Prabhupada!


 A good man does not take the bad side-he takes only the good side. Just like one of my godbrothers- he wanted to make business with my guru maharaj. But my guru maharaj did not take the bad side; he took the good side. He thought, "He has come forward to give me some service."
