Quotes from Srila Prabhupada's teachings


vanipedia.org 		Once we had the opportunity to meet Viṣṇupāda Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Mahārāja, and on first sight he requested this humble self to preach his message in the Western countries. There was no preparation for this, but somehow or other he desired it, and by his grace we are now engaged in executing his order, which has given us a transcendental occupation and has saved and liberated us from the occupation of material activities. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.22.5 purport)



vanipedia.org 		I have completed the Seventh Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, and a summary of the Tenth Canto has already been published as Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Still, the Eighth Canto, Ninth Canto, Tenth Canto, Eleventh Canto and Twelfth Canto are yet to be published. On this occasion, therefore, I am praying to my spiritual master to give me strength to finish this work. I am neither a great scholar nor a great devotee; I am simply a humble servant of my spiritual master, and to the best of my ability I am trying to please him by publishing these books. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 8.1 Summary)

vanipedia.org 		This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is trying to raise the standard of the human society to become brāhmaṇa from the position of kṛpaṇa. This is the attempt.

So we may be successful or not successful, but our endeavor is very, very great. We should always remember that. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Lecture, 17 March 1976, Mayapur)

(Letter, 28 September 1968, Seattle)
