You can also chant and experience the joy that comes from it. This is universal song of peace and happiness.”

Essence: “We are not the body, but spirit, living spark within this body. We really are somebody, part of God’s family and he loves us. He reciprocates equally with all living entities. But if we leave Spiritual World and are lost in this material world, we are nobody. If we want to be happy we have to go back to Spiritual World…That should be our ultimate goal of life…What is the process to return to Spiritual World? The easiest and most sublime process to awaken love for God is to chant his Holy Names.”

Essence: “We are in between the two – material enjoyment and spiritual enjoyment. But at some point in our Krishna Consciousness, we have to cross over the line..Enough is enough fully surrender to Krishna. We have to make that decision – no more sense gratification only Krishna Consciousness. It will come some stage in our life, where we have to cross over.”

Essence: “Does the Holy Name deliver the pious? Yes. That’s why devotees dance in the kirtan. It doesn’t kill the demons as other incarnations, but kills the demoniac tendencies. How is the Hare Krishna movement, chanting all over the world establishing dharma? Because when people become devotees, they naturally follow all the principles.”
