(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 04 October 2009, Durban, South Africa, Lecture)
We cannot be on automatic pilot; we must capture Krsna by making a special sacrifice! Then, when we have captured Krsna, we see that one cannot keep Krsna also. Mother Yasoda captured Krsna and Krsna was not only bound by Mother Yasoda’s ropes but Krsna was bound by Mother Yasoda’s love.
When Krsna was eleven years old, then Akrura came and Akrura took Krsna away from Vrndavana. From that day on, the residents lived in separation. From that day on, all the residents of Vrndavana, no matter what they did, they could not capture Krsna because it is not automatic.
Krsna was driving them mad… Mad in separation! Mad in their attachment to him! So, one has to earn Krsna’s favour again and again. This is an important point! Therefore, again and again, we are trying. But still, Krsna is such that whatever service is rendered to him, he will never forget. So, if we render this service in the month of Kartik, Krsna will not forget…
Instead of actively taking part in politics, saintly persons should engage in the chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. By the grace of Lord Caitanya, by simply chanting this Hare Krishna maha-mantra, the general populace can derive all benefits without political implications.

It is the practice of brahmanas conversant with the science to pronounce a Vedic mantra in the right accent. But even if the Hare Krishna mantra is not chanted properly, it still has so much potency that the chanter gains the effect. (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 4.13.27 Purport) 
At the retreat we found that if we understand and cultivate the tree of our life we have the best possible chance of growing to reach our spiritual goals. Thus, we learned that the ancient Vedas describe how the modes of ignorance, passion and goodness control the material world. We came to understand that the greatest spiritual benefit and God realisation is available to those who develop the mode of goodness in all the various aspects of their lives.
Using the tree as a metaphor, Sacinandana Swami showed how we could nourish our spiritual roots, maintain our emotional and physical life, benefit significantly from the association of spiritually minded people, and how we should live our lives compassionately. 
Blue God is a documentary film made by Alberta Aureli and Filippo Grespan. Based in a Hare Krishna community in Tuscany. A silent line made out of men and women walks in the yard of a medician Villa in Val di Pesa, it's 4:30 in the morning and it's still dark when men and women cross the door of the temple. The red curtain slowly opens, synced with an ancient and smooth music reveals Krishna's altar, the lonley mantra turns into a collective song... 
Others, who are not devotees, may think, "How can people devote so much time simply to talks of God?" The chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra is simply the repetition of three words, Hare, Krishna, Rama, but still devotees can go on chanting this Hare Krishna mantra twenty-four hours a day without feeling fatigued. (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 4.13.1Purport) 
It is the special mercy of the Supreme Lord that as soon as He knows that one is glorifying His name, fame and attributes, He personally helps cleanse the dirt from one's heart. (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 6.2.12 Purport).

"For one who wants liberation from the fruitive reactions of material activities, the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra, or glorification of the name, fame and pastimes of the Lord, is recommended as the most perfect process of atonement because such chanting eradicates the dirt from one's heart completely." (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 6.2.12).
