Quotes Of The Day

Niranjana Swami
Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Qualities of a Devotee, p. 156

Srila Jiva Gosvami explains that because those who are still prideful cannot respect other beings, their preaching is useless. How can we preach to non-devotees if we cannot even respect the devotees? Therefore, he says such persons cannot preach; they have no preaching potency.

Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 9.11, Calcutta, June 30, 1973

It is a great science, to understand God. It is not an ordinary thing simply by speculation or by so-called meditation you become God. God is God always. You cannot become God if you are not God. Krsna was God when He was three months old on the lap of His mother. Krsna was God when He was four months old. Krsna was God when He was seven years old. Now we are chanting jaya radha-madhava kunja-bihari gopi-jana-ballabha giri-bara-dhari. Krsna was gopi-jana-ballabha. He was always meant for pleasing the gopis. But that does not mean that He was not God.
