Quotes Of The Day

Niranjana Swami
Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Association, p. 208

The materialist thinks, "I am suffering now, so I will relieve my suffering with sense enjoyment." But such persons are blind. They cannot see that their suffering is caused by this very mentality and the efforts it drove them to in a previous life. Lord Risabhadeva calls such persons pramattah, mad. 

Srila Prabhupada
Lecture at an engagement party, Nairobi, September 18, 1971

In spite of Bhagavad-gita being popular in the Western countries, in spite of our so many svamis from India went to preach Indian culture or the Hindu culture, before this movement of Krsna consciousness, not a single person became a devotee of Krsna. That is a fact. It was simply armchair discussion of Bhagavad-gita. But why at the present moment these youngsters, Europeans and Americans, Australians, Canadians, Japanese, why they are taking to Krsna consciousness? Because this Bhagavad-gita is presented as it is, without any adulteration. That is my point. Bhagavad-gita is not meant for anyone else except the devotee.
