Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Qualities of a Devotee
Prabhupada warned that in our Krishna consciousness movement, many people may dress as Vaisnavas who are actually nondevotees. He said, "Therefore, we must be careful to only associate with those devotees who have Vaisnava qualities." We should look for those devotees who have the qualities exemplified by our acaryas.

Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 3.27, Melbourne, June 27, 1974
Now, if we imitate, that "These boys and girls are chanting Hare Krsna. It is a name only. So let me chant... Instead of Krsna, let me chant John," but that chanting will not help you, because you cannot chant more than three, four times or ten times, that's all. But this is the proof. And this Hare Krsna, this chanting, if you ask these boys and girls, they can chant continually for twenty-four hours in ecstasy, continually, without any stoppage. That is spiritual name. You cannot take any other name and chant and enjoy like that. So it is practical experience. I am touring all over the world, three times in a year, and because this chanting is Absolute, everyone is joining - Europe, America, Africa, Canada, Japan, China, everywhere. Nobody says that "This is a word from India. Why shall I chant the Indian name?" No. It is God's name. God is neither Indian nor American nor otherwise, neither Christian nor Hindu nor Muslim. God is God.
