"So there is no difference between siksa- and diksa guru. In Krsna there is no difference between rupa and svarupa. Those who are discriminating between siksa- and diksa guru are practically lower then kanistha-adhikari."
"This world is called the 'incomplete creation,' therefore no one can fulfill all their own desires, but still everyone searches after happiness. Scripture gives evidence about the happiness of the transcendental world only. This transcendental world is called the 'complete creation.' "
"World peace is only possible when we stop identifying our real selves with this material world, and when the mundane happiness of this world stops being our aim and object."
"Vaisnavism deals with the religion of the soul as distinguished from the body or the mind. Neither the body nor the mind is eternal, only the soul, and therefore it is the religion of the soul that is eternal. Vaisnavaism is the eternal religion of the soul."
"The object of the pursuit of other religions is one of the following four things: virtue, wealth, desire and salvation. But Vaisnavas have nothing to do with any of these things as none of them is the real object of the soul. Vaisnavism begins with distinguishing between temporary and permanent things. Both the body and the mind are noticed by the Vaisnavas to be subject to birth and death and therefore temporary, but the soul is eternal as we can see in the Bhagavad Gita"
"Soul is all love, and hence peace established on the principles of soul is what is real peace."
Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare"These 16 names are all that is required to deliver one from the darkness of ignorance and situate him or her on the highest platform of God-realisation. Krsna is not an Indian God, or the head of the "Hindu" religion. "Hare" is the vocative or spoken word used to address the supreme Lord "Hari." Krsna is an address we use for the Lord, asking him to please deliver us from the maya of material existence. And when we say "Rama" we are requesting the Lord to please sport with us. We humbly request every one to take this sublime procces of bhakti-yoga and become truely happy in this life."

"Sastra states that for one to obtain complete satisfaction; his heart must be neat and clean. Then he will automatically perform all good behaviour and naturally he will be able to help others go beyond this material existence."
"Material science explains that in the brain of human beings there 4 types of waves alpha, beta, tetha, and delta. With a velocity of 0.5 to 4 cycles per second, they are the cause for peace , restlessness and satisfaction.
According to material science, in the right side of the brain are the delta waves and the other three waves reside in the left side. For this reason we feel a lack of peace. But if were to raise the delta waves in the left side then satisfaction can be obtained. This is called "a state of inert'' according to the language of science.
When one atom is not completely stable due to a lack of electrons, it begins to revolve, and sometimes is attracted to and sometimes repelled from other atoms. But when this atom is completely stable, then according to the rules of orbit 2n squared (n = number of orbits) if he attains the full amount of electrons, he becomes completely inert."

"According to material science, Helium, Krypton, Arshon, Neon, Genion, Radon, etc. are inert gasses that never join with atoms. In the same way delta waves never join with alpha, beta and tetha waves.
You may ask how is it possible then for delta waves to come to the left side of the brain. Yoga sastra explains three types of nerves, ingla, pingla, and susumna. When susumna is active, the delta waves are active in our brain.
In yoga sastra it is explained that there are many processes to activate the susmna nerve by many types of yoga processes, i.e. asans, pranayam, dhyana ( posture, breath control, meditation) etc. These things were explained to Arjuna by Krsna in the Bhagavad Gita 6.13-15."

"Keeping one's body, neck and head erect and steady, one should fix one's vision solely on the tip of the nose. Thus, following strict celibacy, becoming fearless, peaceful and controlling the mind, one should practice yoga by meditating on Me with one-pointed attention, remaining always devoted to Me."

"Thus, constantly keeping the mind absorbed in Me through yoga by following the process, a yogi whose mind is controlled, can become situated in My svarupa (nirvisesh Brahma) and attain santi in the form of complete emancipation."
yunjann evam sadatmanam"Thus practicing control of the body, mind and activities, the mystic transcendentalist attains to the kingdom of God [or the abode of Krsna] by cessation of material existence."

"Thus a yogi concentrates his mind on the goal and then his pran-vayu (incoming breath) and apan-vayu (outward breath) come to an equilibrium. Without this equilibrium the susmana nerve is not activated. So yogis perform pranayam ( breath control) to open this door, and by chanting the mantra AUM they become liberated from material things and obtain their goal."
In bhakti-yoga however we chant:
Hare Krsna Hare Krsna,and achieve our ultimate goal, which is Krsna-prema. Then we are completely satisfied.
Krsna Krsna Hare Hare,
