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.”
Overcome Addiction to Sense gratification

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.”
Please be there!

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”.
