1970 October 26: "Anyone who tries to understand impersonalist philosophy is doomed, their devotion becomes dried up. Don't try to mix with any Swami who has no knowledge of Krsna Consciousness. Their speaking is simply maya, therefore they are called Mayavadis."

Lord Balaji
→ Ramai Swami
The Tirumala Hill is 853m above sea level. It comprises seven peaks, representing the seven heads of Adisesha, thus earning the name Seshachalam.
The presiding deity of the temple at Tirupati is Lord Venkatesvara, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Venkateswara is known by other names: Balaji, Govinda, and Srinivasa.
Annually 30-40 million people visit this temple, making it the most visited place of worship in the world. Revati Raman, ISKCON TP, organised darshana of Lord Balaji for our devotees who came to the GBC meetings.
Judgement day
→ KKSBlog
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 2009, Bhaktivedanta Manor, England, Lecture)
At the end of our life, our own service will be judged but more important, is the service of our spiritual master, who is requesting Krsna, “Please accept him, he didn’t do well but accept him anyway.”This is actually how it works. Thus Srila Prabhupada is praying for all of us and saying, “Please take them all back to Godhead. I know everything but still… Please take them back to Godhead.”
Then what can Krsna do, because Prabhupada has done such service that Krsna has become so indebted; what can he do!? So when Srila Prabhupada is asking then, “All right, let him go.”
So mercy is a major factor and thus we must look for that mercy. Therefore, we must always turn to our spiritual master. It’s not that the spiritual master should turn to us, we should turn to him for shelter!
With Great Concentration
→ Japa Group
Here is a quote from Srila Prabhupada that illustrates this point:
"....Practically we see that as we sincerely try to improve our chanting for the pleasure of Krishna, Krishna reciprocates and we feel our greatest pleasure which is devotional service to the Lord."

It is not that one must chant at a certain time. No. At any time one may chant. Furthermore, Krishna's name is identical with Krishna Himself. Therefore the holy name of Krishna is Krishna.

One who is interested in chanting the holy name of Krishna or who by practice likes to chant Krishna's names should be accepted as a Vaisnava and offered respects as such, at least within one's mind.

By chanting Hare Krishna one fixes his mind always on the Supreme Lord. One example often given is that of the caterpillar that thinks of becoming a butterfly and so is transformed into a butterfly in the same life. Similarly, if we constantly think of Krishna, it is certain that at the end of our lives we shall have the same bodily constitution as Krishna.

When Prabhupada’s Gita is so obviously not as it is, how can he call it as it is?
→ The Spiritual Scientist
From Dharmaveer
He translates karma-yoga as bhakti-yoga, inserts Krishan where there is no Krishna and makes so many changes in his English Gita. How then can he claim his Gita to be as it is?
What is the benefit in hearing about Krishna?

From Pancha Pandava P
How can anyone accept such an antromorphic unscientific mythic conception of God as Krishna
→ The Spiritual Scientist
From Peter:
God is so great that he can't conceived, so past people have imagined him to be a human-like person with supernatural powers. And how can people believe such unscientific, irrational myths in the name of God's pastimes?
