Five Aspects Of Shri Rama That Are Charming

“The name, pastimes, form, clothing and ornaments of Shri Rama are all very charming and beautiful. Together with His brothers the children are playing.” (Dohavali, 120)

How Do I Know If I Have A Relationship With God

“Arjuna said: What are the symptoms of one whose consciousness is thus merged in Transcendence? How does he speak, and what is his language? How does he sit, and how does he walk?” (Bhagavad-gita, 2.54)

Three Ways To Know That The Vedas Are Not Just For Indians

“Just as the Ganga is the greatest of all rivers, Lord Achyuta the supreme among deities and Lord Shambhu [Shiva] the greatest of Vaishnavas, so Shrimad-Bhagavatam is the greatest of all Puranas.” (Shrimad Bhagavatam, 12.13.16)

Lalita Guna

“The name, pastimes, form, clothing and ornaments of Shri Rama are all very charming and beautiful. Together with His brothers the children are playing.” (Dohavali, 120)

The Charitra Mala

“The loveable son of the king of Koshala, Dasharatha, in the beautiful royal courtyard is crawling on His hands in the childhood form, moving in such a way with His activities are like a garland of every good quality and auspiciousness.” (Dohavali, 119)

Like The Waves In The Ocean

“The incarnations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead appear continuously, like the waves of a river or an ocean. There is no limit to the Lord's incarnations, but they can be perceived only by devotees who are fortunate.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 10.2.42 Purport)

Bala Vinoda

“Every day in Ayodhya there is a celebration happening, as renewing auspiciousness brings so much happiness. The mother, the father and the people are so happy seeing the childhood play of Shri Rama.” (Dohavali, 118)

The Two Influences Of The Material Energy

“In the government, the criminal department and civil department may appear different in the eyes of the citizens, but in the eyes of the government both departments are one and the same. The criminal department is troublesome for the criminal but not for the obedient citizen. Similarly, this material energy is troublesome for the conditioned soul, but it has nothing to do with the liberated souls who are engaged in the service of the Lord.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 4.24.61 Purport)

Three Things That Aren’t Guaranteed To Win God’s Favor

“The great devotee in the monkey form carried out his duty, giving everything of himself, and the Lord became so grateful that He, the one who gives boons, stood before Hanuman with folded hands asking for a boon.” (Dohavali, 112)

Trying To Decide Where To Live

"Since an advanced devotee carries Lord Vishnu within his heart, he is a moving temple and a moving Vishnu. An advanced devotee does not need to go to holy places, for wherever he stays is a holy place." (Shrila Prabhupada, Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya, 20.57 Purport)
