Quotes from Srila Prabhupada's teachings


vanipedia.org 		A spiritual master needn't be very enthusiastic for constructing temple buildings simply in the name of so-called spiritual advancement. Rather, his first and foremost activity should be to preach. (Nectar of Devotion, Chapter 7)



vanipedia.org 		Actually there is no difference between devotees living inside the temple and devotees living outside the temple. You are right that the important thing is to remember Krsna, whatever is your activity. So try to remember Krsna always. (Letter, 29 September 1972, Los Angeles)



vanipedia.org 		Building is not very important. Work is important. Activity is important. I started my movement not with buildings, but real activity. So building is opulence. You can do without opulence. You can start anything, even underneath a tree. There is no difficulty. (Morning Walk, 19 April 1974, Hyderabad)



vanipedia.org 		Chanting of the Holy Name regularly is our life and soul, and on the basis of such activities all other devotional services will sustain. (Letter, 10 February 1970, Los Angeles)



vanipedia.org 		Don't be disappointed. Go on with your Kṛṣṇa consciousness activities. Time will come when you'll see Kṛṣṇa, just like Kuntī is seeing, face to face. There is no doubt about it. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Lecture, 4 May 1973, Los Angeles)



vanipedia.org 		If you want to go back to home, back to Godhead, that also will require your busyness and activity. And if you want to remain here in this material world, that also required. Activity you cannot stop, but we have to consider the quality of activity. Quality of activity is bhakti. You have to work. You cannot remain inactive or lazy. You have to work. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Lecture, 10 July 1974, Los Angeles)



vanipedia.org 		Sometimes people are reluctant to contribute for our temples and for our religious activities but for education everyone will be ready to help. All over the world they are taking our books seriously and that is accepted by educational departments as extra study books at schools and colleges. (Letter, 2 January 1974, Los Angeles)



vanipedia.org 		Such work with the local newspapers as you are nicely doing is very good. Try to agitate as far as possible our activities. Always be engaged so that maya will not disturb you. Chant Hare Krishna as many times during the day as you are able. (Letter, 29 December 1968, Los Angeles)
