The potency of hearing the Holy Name

"When one becomes Krishna conscious, he loves everyone.  If you chant loudly Hare Krishna, even the ants and insect who is hearing, he'll be delivered, because it is spiritual vibration." -Srila Prabhupada

To much time wasted

"The main thing is, regardless of one's circumstance, to remain a servant of the spiritual master and be satisified with whatever service he offers. But if one is given time for direct devotional service, especially chanting and hearing about Krishna, it should be treasured with not a moment wasted." -H.H.Dhanurdhara Swami

Trying to see better

A person who sees everything in relation to the Supreme Lord, and sees all entities as His parts and parcels, and who sees the Supreme Lord within everything, never hates anything, nor any being. -Sri Isopanisad Mantra 6

Searching for peace

" It is all in Krishna. You cannot find peace outside Krishna activities, outside Krishna consciousness. That is not possible." -Srila Prabhupada
