Earth is not rotating every day and night, rather the sun is revolving
around all the planets in the Universe. When we are stationary and
when we see moving objects, it may appear we are also moving.This is
the information we get from the Vedic literature,which is word of God.
Creator knows the creation perfectly, than the created.
We are created beings.We never know exactly whats going on inside our
body,what to speak of the Universe.We can only desire but all that is
fulfilled by the Lord only. The Supreme Lord expands Himself as this
material world and even the gross elements, our mind, intelligence
etc. So in that Sense, everything is Krishna or God. But He still
remains aloof from all these things as a Person who has nothing to do
with this material world.
Our experimental knowledge is limited. Someone said earth is flat and
someone said it's round and somebody else said it's spherical.
Tomorrow it's no wonder someone else may observe that it's triangular.
The point is ascending method of acquiring perfect knowledge is
imperfect and takes many lifetimes for one to come to an
understanding. But the descending method which comes from our ancestry
in the Vedic tradition is perfect and easy to understand. The Vedic
literature has been handed down to the living beings by Srila Vyasa
Dev,an incarnation of Lord Vishnu who God Himself. He is the source of
everything and so He knows everything that moves and not moves within
the cosmic manifestation perfectly.

Earth is not rotating but Sun is revolving around all planetary systems in the Universe.

1. Bhakti surpasses all other process like karma,jnana and yoga.
Process of bhakti is superior and also includes all other process.
2. In bhakti chanting gives results of all , but Devotees consider
Material things and liberation as impediments to bhakti.
3. Result of bhakti gives the best of knowledge, best of wealth..if
one considers it to be an exaggeration it is an offense to the holy
name.
4. Nature of bhakti is that one gives up everything and accepts only
which is favorable. A devotee definitly does not want moksa as when
one merges they cant serve the Lord
5. Lord gives mercy upon ganges and she gives blessings to jiva in the
material world. Eradication of sin is a byproduct while the higher
goal is development of bhakti. Here it is the glorification of water
associated with the lord and having great potentcy.

Drops of Bhakti!

We must be sincere and must be chaste in the line of Krishna consciousness. That means faith must be strong. 'I must get, today or tomorrow.' When the result is not coming, I must try to search within me: 'Where is my fault?' If we try to understand: 'Where is my fault?', mercifully by the grace of Krishna it will appear to me: 'This, is my fault.'
- B.S. Govinda Maharaj

You were born in nectar. You were born to taste nectar. You must not allow yourselves to be satisfied by anything but nectar. Awake! Arise! And search for that nectar.
- B.R. Sridhar Maharaj

Krsna will appear of His own accord. He will descend upon your tongue, and then your tongue will be able to chant the name of Krsna. A gun that has no bullet, but only a blank, may make some sound, but no bullet is actually fired. Similarly, chanting the name of Krsna without an attitude of service produces sound, but that is only tongue deep.
- B.R. Sridhar Maharaj

We have heard from Guru Maharaj that Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur would often chant on the roof of his house and every morning at 4 o'clock a great wind would pass over his roof in the direction of Mayapur. Srila Bhaktivind Thakur expressed his understanding of this miraculous wind as being Sri Nrsimhadev every day going to see the arati of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu. So, although ordinarily it may be difficult to conceive, we can conclude that Nrsimhadev is also very eager to see the worship of Sriman Mahaprabhu.
- B.S. Govinda Maharaj

From here we cannot conceive the divine love of all the entities in that transcendental abode of Krsna. But one day, by the grace of Gurudev, it may be possible for it to be revealed in our hearts. Still, we are always hopeful, and we will not be satisified with anything else
- B.S. Govinda Maharaj

What others will do, that is not such a big question for me. The big question for me is, what I am doing and what I am giving. Every day the sun is rising and the sun is setting, and within that period what I am doing, what I am giving from my side.
- B.S. Govinda Maharaj

"Oh Lord, give me what is good. I am an imperfect being, I do not know what is good and what is bad. Please provide whatever You consider to be good for me." This is an improvement over praying to Him for mundane things.
But best is to accept the creed of unalloyed service to the Highest: "I want You, my Lord, nothing else." And what will be our connection with Him? Service. "I want only Your service."
- B.R. Sridhar Maharaj

Everything is true only by having connection with the Absolute Truth. Everything is there in the absolute. So the finite cannot produce anything which is not in the infinite. The finite world, therefore, is rather a shadow or a perverted reflection of the whole truth.
- B.R. Sridhar Maharaj

O Arjuna, as ignorant persons work with attachment, the wise, too, must work, but without attachment, in order to guide the general people who exist in the plane of worldly action. (They differ not in their work but in their attitudes of attachment and detachment.)
- Srimad Bhagavad-Gita Ch. 13 Verse 25

Important and enthusing quotes for devotion!

Unbelievables Real Facts

By Karnamrita Dasa • April 15, 2011

There are three consecutive verses in the Bhagavad-gita which delineate austerity of the body, speech, and the mind. They are considered in the mode, or quality, of goodness, and are thus favorable for the practice of spiritual life. Within these verses favorable practices for a spiritually balanced life are outlined.

"Austerity of the body consists in expressing devotion to Godhead, the brahmanas, the spiritual teacher, and superiors like the father and mother, and in cleanliness, simplicity, celibacy and nonviolence."

"Austerity of speech consists in speaking words that are truthful, pleasing, beneficial, and not agitating to others, and also in regularly reciting Vedic literature."

"Satisfaction, simplicity, gravity, self-control, and purification of one's existence are the austerities of the mind" [Bhagavad-gita 17.14-16]

Austerity is also one of the qualities attributed to the brahmanas, the traditional Vedic teachers insociety:

"Peacefulness, self-control, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty, knowledge, wisdom, and religiousness — these are the natural qualities by which the brahmanas work." [Bhagavad-gita 18.42]

And finally, austerity is considered one of the four basic principles of spirituality given in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. They consist of austerity, cleanliness, mercy and truthfulness. Although these principles can be considered as corollary factors which support the most important practices of devotional life, they are essential principles which promote a pure lifestyle.

Although sometimes Srila Prabhupada would say that human life is meant for austerity, on the path of devotion, we don't engage in greatly difficult and austere practices like the traditional yogis do. From our perspective such austerities can make the heart hard, while bhakti is about softening the heart through loving Krishna. Our austerity is the natural austerity which comes in relationship to service to Krishna. For example eating (or honoring) the sanctified vegetarian food, although enjoyable, is also an austerity, as one doesn't eat food that cannot be offered to Krishna. Alcohol and meat are some of the foods that cannot be offered to Krishna as they are considered impure and polluting. Once we become attracted to Krishna and center our life on his service, many activities fall away that we used to think nothing about doing. Some would call this austere, but for a devotee it becomes a source of joy. Such natural austerities help us fix our minds and hearts on Krishna and make spiritual progress.

Austerity is source of joy for a devotee!
