Essence: “We are out here on the order of Guru and Gauranga. We are out here to deliver these people from repetition of birth and death. And to give them Krishna. You have to overcome lethargy due to humid conditions. I think more than any thing else, it is seeing the devotees happy and enlivened in Krishna consciousness, that brings people to the festival. So be enthusiastic.”

Essence: “This process chanting, hearing is so easy, why don’t people take it? Because they are addicted to sense gratification. We have to help them overcome this addiction. It is very easy they simply have to hear and chant. And that is our life as tour devotees – Just sit and chant Hare Krishna and go out on streets and dance to the Holy Names.”

Essence: “Unless you regularly come to the morning program, you will lose spiritual strength and you won’t be able to continue to the end. One rule is when you get back in the night go straight to bed. Email, those things, talking walking around, laughing, joking we don’t have time to do that. This is a very intense program”.
