Quotes Of The Day

Niranjana Swami
Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Association, p. 222

How do advanced devotees teach us? They identify the spark of spiritual desire in our heart and then fan it, awakening our desire to serve Krishna. If our desire has truly been fanned, we will want to reciprocate with them and share what they have given us with others. If you become inspired, spread the inspiration. Krsna consciousness should be infectious.

Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 13.5, Bombay, September 28, 1973

If we want to understand spiritual truth as it is, then the beginning is Krsna's instruction, this Bhagavad-gita. Try to understand Bhagavad-gita very nicely, and if you can understand Bhagavad-gita nicely, perfectly, then you try to study Srimad-Bhagavatam. Srimad-bhagavatam amalam puranam [SB 12.13.18]. Amalam puranam, "transcendental Purana." Purana means supplementary Vedic literature, "that which completes." Because directly, Vedic literature is very difficult to understand by the common man. Vedic literature is not for common man; even by the highly learned brahmanas, ksatriyas.
