Quotes Of The Day

Niranjana Swami
Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Forgiveness, p. 162

There is no loss in any Krishna conscious endeavor, but if we commit Vaisnava aparadha, our advancement will be checked; we will not be able to make any more advancement. And if we cannot make more advancement, the seeds of fruitive desire may sprout. Ramacandra Puri is an example of this misfortune. He offended Madhavendra Puri (and later Lord Caitanya), and because of these offences, he became attracted again to material desires. If we commit such an offence, we will fall from our position. But we can also be redeemed for our offence if the Vaisnava we offended is forgiving.

Srila Prabhupada
Room Conversation, Montreal, July 16, 1968

Temple is open for everyone. Let them come and sit down, chant Hare Krsna, hear Bhagavad-gita. We don't say, "Oh, are you potter? No. You are not allowed." We don't say that. "Is you cobbler? Oh, you are not allowed." No. We don't say that. Everyone is welcome. "Come on." And what is the business? Chant Hare Krsna. Everyone can do it. And what is the next business? We read some nice philosophical portion from Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam. Yes. You have got ears.
