Whether one is in happiness or distress, whether one is a grhastha or a sannyasi, whether one is in success or failure, doesn't matter. If we turn to Krsna, our life is successful.

Real beauty is the love of the heart, real beauty is not simply the external features that are ever-changing in a person and if only we can connect to that beauty within ourselves, they connect with that beauty within others, then there is real relationships, deep relationships, spiritual relationships.

Srila Prabhupada very much wanted these books to be distributed. Why? Because Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu wanted these books to be distributed. In the English language which is the most powerful language in the world today in Kaliyuga, the truth of Bhagavad-Gita should be available to everyone.

There are millions and millions of conditioned souls who are bereft of love of Krishna. In ignorance they are struggling and toiling birth after birth after birth to enjoy the illusions of Maya and they are suffering.

Chaitanya Das returned home and when he returned home, he was just so grateful for the mercy that the Lord was giving him but he was constantly chanting the holy names, hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare, hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare.

Chaitanya Das went back to his house, the devotees were very inquisitive, they approached Govinda, the Lord’s servant asking, “What is his desire? What did he pray to Lord Jagannath? Please, please tell us.”

Krishna wants our hearts. I thank you, you have shown great dedication over the years, and in assisting Srila Prabhupada as a puppet of our Guru parampara and the strings of our dedication to their will.

When we appreciate each other, and competition is just to help others to become more enlivened to do more. It’s not to stamp on people's heads and do better.

Srila Prabhupad, that instruction he received at Radha kund was so much the flow of mercy coming through our parampara and Srila Prabhupad shared that same instruction with us and gave us the opportunity to be a part.

In one of the very special ways Srila Prabhupada personally requested each of us to helps him spread this light, is through distribution of his books.
