God’s business is to protect the faithful and kill the demons. Therefore we find lord Visnu, the four symbolic representations: for killing, the club and the chakra; and for protecting, the lotus flower and conchshell.

In Vaikuntha there are thousands times beautiful women and thousands times strong men, but there is no sex desire. They are so much absorbed in Krishna consciousness that sex life is very insignificant. There is no sex life in the Vaikuntha realm.

If one purposefully commits mistake and sinful life, “Now I am chanting Hare Krishna. I can do all sinful life, it will become counteracted,” that rascal will be punished very very much. “I am living in Vrindavana. Oh, it is dhama, so let me do all nonsense. It will be counteracted.” They’ll be these cats and dogs and monkeys in Vrindavana.
Vrindavan, December 5, 1975
Krishna is ready to talk with you. He has come. He has descended in arca-murti to talk with you, to be visible by you. Now you make yourself ready and fit to talk with Krishna. Then He will exchange conversation. This is possible.
