    Where: Moscow, Sep 17, 2007.
    Essence: “Lalita’s eyes are restless like a deer, watching out for anyone who might interfere in Radha-Krishna’s pastimes. She is the most expert in putting make-up on Radharani. Her greatest quality is that when she sees a devotee eager to serve Radharani, she fulfills that devotee’s desire.”

    Essence: “Yes, I was really in ecstasy when I saw people overwhelmed in Krishna Consciousness.

    Where: Aug 11′th 2007, Poland.
    Courtesy: Candrasekhar Acarya Das.
    Essence: “We can only avoid losing respect to devotees by maintaining service attitude, like again related to the point of how to associate with more advanced, equal or less advanced devotees. It is only possible if it is based on the Service attitude. More advanced, it is obvious, I want to render service to them. What is service related to equally advanced devotees? Let us spread Krsna Consciousness together..close friendship. They have only one thought how to serve Krsna together, spread Krsna Consciousness together. And less advanced devotees how to render service to them, that they can make advancement in Krishna Consciousness. By teaching, creating facilities for them to render service. There is always a service attitude. There is no question of I am more advanced than others or superior, because service attitude means I am servant of Everyone. That is the actual Vaishnava mood.”

    Verse: Srimad Bhagavatham - 7.7.51-53
    Artist: His Holiness Trivikrama Swami
    Courtesy: Candrasekhar Acarya Das.
    Essence: Because Prahlad has one pointed devotion to please his Spiritual Master, therefore he is not attracted to anything else.. We have to take Srila Prabhupada’s order as our life and soul. Because He is acharya for next 10,000 years. Ultimately we all have to please Him. Under His order, though difficult, we all have to cooperate to push Lord Caitanya’s movement forward. This is secret of success.
