Relationships Are Based on Human Culture

Even though Kṛṣṇa can do anything and everything, He doesn’t. He is the son of Mahārāja Nanda. He can do anything because He is God. But he goes to sleep when Mother Yaśodā puts Him to sleep. He gets up when she wakes Him.

Don’t Goof Around in Dharma

We are not gopīs, we are not at the rāsa dance. So we should not goof around as gopīs. Otherwise, we will not attain that platform by which Kṛṣṇa will goof on the gopīs.

Devotees and Astrology

You are not going to change the planets, because the planets are how the three modes just perform their duties. You need to change your consciousness, that’s the whole point.

The Unique Position and Glories of the Govardhana Hill

Simultaneously he is Kṛṣṇa and he is the best devotee. Kṛṣṇa Himself personally has expanded as Govardhana Hill.

He Is a Saint – This is My Command – Part 1 (Ācāryas’ Purports on Bhagavad-gītā 9.30-31)

The Lord does not take seriously an accidental falldown because the devotee is determined to continue his service despite the obstacles placed by his conditioned nature. In the case of an accidental falldown the only prāyaścitta for a devotee is devotional service itself. 

On The Principle of Founder-Ācārya

When you are working within the Kali-yuga, you are working within the Ācārya system, where there is a Founder-Ācārya. So that person is the Paramahaṁsa because they know perfectly what to do in this age. And knowing what to do then everybody else follows them. Relevant instruction means, the Ācārya said this, so we give relevant instruction how to understand what the Ācārya said.
