| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "So harā, harā is the form of the word... Hare is the form of the word harā when address, when she is addressed. And Kṛṣṇa, when He's addressed, the form does not change. This is grammatical rule. So Hare Kṛṣṇa means, 'Oh, the energy of Kṛṣṇa, or energy of the Lord', and Kṛṣṇa, 'the Lord'. So Hare Kṛṣṇa. Hare Kṛṣṇa means I am praying not only to the Lord, but to the energy also." |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "In the Bhagavad-gītā it is said, janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi-duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam (BG 13.9). We are trying to be happy, fighting with unhappiness, but we do not know our real unhappiness are that we have to die, we have to take birth again, we have to become diseased and we have to accept old age. Janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam. This is intelligence, that 'I am trying to solve all the problems of life by advancement of civilization, education, scientific knowledge and so many things'. That's all right. But what is the solution of my these four principle of miserable condition: birth, death, old age and disease? And because we cannot make any solution, we set aside these four problems. We go on with the temporary problems and become busy to solve it, and in this way we waste our this valuable human form of life like the cats and dogs. This is the instruction. So we should not do that." |
