Niranjana Swami's Quote Of The Day
April 1
Krsna is like sunshine and maya is like darkness. Because maya always thinks herself as Krsna's servant, she wont stand in front of Krsna. If Krsna is there, she always stands behind. This is proper etiquette.

What attracts others to Krsna is sanatana dharma, not upadharma. Upadharma means it’s not eternal, therefore Krsna is not present there. How can you attract someone to Krsna if Krsna is not present there?

For a devotee, "hell" means forgetfulness of Krsna. However, the devotee does not pray to Krsna to be delivered from hell. A devotee simply prays that the Lord will situate him in a place that will allow him to remember the Lord.

There is only one solution to our problems. This material world is no place for any gentlemen and we should not want to stay here any longer. The real solution is to go back to Godhead and that’s why Krsna wants to bring every one of us back to the spiritual world.

So these books are like the places of pilgrimage for the swans. They are only for persons who have some attraction for spiritual realm. But the most wonderful thing about these books is that even somebody doesn’t have any attraction, if they get one eleventh of the moment of association with Srila Prabhupada, that attraction can be awakened. That is the great beauty of these books. Although they are made for swan like persons, by associating with these books even the ugliest crows can become swans.
