Examine Yourself
'There is one more thing that I tell you all the time. You must remember
this. We chant the Holy Name so much, but why are we not getting the result?
Even if you chant the Holy Name and hear about the Lord for millions of
lifetimes, you will not get the Lord. Why?'

Power of
Sambandha-Jnana
'King Chitraketu had many subjects and queens, he had much wealth, but he was
not happy inside. Angira Rishi thought, "If I try to give him some good
advice, it will not enter his ears because he wants a son. No matter what I
tell him, he will only want to have a son."'

Undiluted
Spiritual Life
'We must live following the proper line. The more you increase material
wealth, the more ego you will have. You keep thinking, 'What must I do?',
'What must I do?' and a lot of problems will come. One time, somebody gave
one rupee to Srila Jagannath Das Babaji Maharaj...'

Pillars of
Spiritual Life
'One time, somebody asked Srila Prabhupad, "You have so many followers, are
they all your disciples?" Srila Prabhupad replied, "No. Not everybody who is
here is my disciple." Disciples are those who can take chastisement: who can
place it on their heads and mould themselves accordingly. The others are not
disciples. What is called a spiritual life? Srila Prabhupad explains it
also.'

Sincerity and Chastity
[An extensive discourse of Srila B.S. Govinda Dev-Goswami
Maharaj, spoken on 13 March 2007]
"We will follow what our Guru Maharaj follows. We do not want to know who
is good, who is bad, who is better, who is worse. It is not necessary to
criticise others. We will only be chaste to our Guru Maharaj, and we will
follow our Guru Maharaj's conception. This is the best."
Plane of
Adherence
"Always leave everything to the Lord—whatever His desire is, that will
happen. No one can stop it. It is not necessary to be afraid. If we surrender
ourselves to the Guru, to the Lord, then we will have no problem."

How to Capture the
Lord
'Among the sixty-four limbs of devotion, there are five main practices, and
among those five main practices, there are two main: sravan and
kirtan. Many people think that they want to practise on their own –
they want to go to Vrindavan or Prayag, practise there and go to the Lord.
But it is necessary to rescue the jivas of this world also!'

Where Is Substance?
'It is necessary to make some effort. You must want it, then you will get
mercy – until and unless you have a strong desire to get the mercy of the
Lord, you will not get it. It is necessary to have desire, and it is
necessary to try.'

Essential
Admonition
'We chant the Holy Name a lot, but if you keep pouring water into a glass and
see that it does not become full, it means there are some holes, and all the
water is flowing out. We chant so much, we do so many things, but why is
nothing happening to us?'

Today in the calendar: Krishna Dvadasi. Ekadasi paran is at 5:46:53–5:55:44. Festival in honour of Sriman Mahaprabhu's auspicious arrival (vijay-mahotsav) at Varaha Nagar. Disappearance of Srila Govinda Ghosh Thakur. Departure of Sripad Satyendrachandra Bhattacharya Mahodaya.
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj: "Even if you do not know anything about the Vaishnav mentioned in the calendar, you must still give them 'jay' on this day. We must always remember disappearance and appearance days of all Vaishnavs. If we can remember such personalities, such great souls, it will bring a great benefit to our spiritual life."
"We should always check the calendar, and when we see some dates mentioned there, even if we do not know anything about the Vaishnav or events mentioned there, we can at least give 'jay' to them—that also brings some good sukriti, some purification to us. Seeing the calendar and taking devotees' names early in the morning, from the beginning of the day, is very good for all devotees."
