Who is Srila Prabhupada - his gladness

As humans, all of us like to be happy, because being happy is our original nature. A higher degree of happiness is 'gladness', which means that when one is glad, he is very pleased and contented. Generally, material progress gladdens us, but for great spiritual personalities like Srila Prabhupada, his followers' spiritual progress in devotional service to Lord Krishna pleases him a lot. When a person joins the Krishna Conscious movement and takes to the activities sincerely, not only does Srila Prabhupada feel glad, but the person who has taken to Krishna Consciousness also does so.

Srila Prabhupada, a glorious modern sage, shares his love with all he meets, via his profound teachings, which bring to life Lord Chaitanya's message: how to develop pure love for Krishna, or God. Srila Prabhupada's outstanding personality - his transcendental desires, qualities, character and personal history - is abundantly expressed in his lectures, conversations, letters and, to some degree, in his books. An endearing presentation on his gladness is found within this Vaniquotes category - I Am So Glad (Prabhupada).

An introduction is given below in the following 9 quotes.
