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.

Eternally Perfect Gurus and the Challenges With Zonal Ācāryas

Unless there is faith in Guru and Vaiṣṇavas, it can’t function. Fault is easy to find. Anyone can find fault in the moon, but what cultured person will take that person seriously?

Justice and Liberation

Until you can go beyond justice, you can’t get out of the material world. Because justice means profit and loss, gain and and safety, that’s what justice is for. Justice is to maintain the principle of gain and safety. But it’s not spiritual, unless it is connected to Kṛṣṇa.
