How Do I Know If God Loves Me

“Prahlada Maharaja said: My dear King, the source of my strength, of which you are asking, is also the source of yours. Indeed, the original source of all kinds of strength is one.

Two Ways The Vaishnava Tradition Extends Beyond Basic Religion

“Anything which is beyond the scope of experience by our imperfect senses can be realized fully by the sound representation. A person transmitting sound from a far distant place can be factually experienced. If this is materially possible, why not spiritually? This experience is not a vague impersonal experience. It is actually an experience of the transcendental Personality of Godhead, who possesses the pure form of eternity, bliss and knowledge.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 1.5.38 Purport)
