"All over the world, all devotees at this moment always think and are always afraid of COVID-19, coronavirus. We cannot do anything about it—when the time comes, we will have to leave our body. However, as many days as we may have, we must not waste our time! Now that all the devotees are always in their house, it is a good time—they can read many books such as Srimad Bhagavatam, Chaitanya-charitamrita and all our good books. They can concentrate their mind on Krishna consciousness and chant more rounds of the Holy Name. They can do more service in their houses."

The Calamity
Within
"You will face so much austerity in your spiritual life, but please do not
leave Krishna consciousness. You want to get the Supreme Personality but how
much patience do you have? How much quality do you have? How much of your ego

Our Plan and
Programme
"Only chanting four rounds, offering some bhog and taking
prasad is not sufficient for your spiritual life. You cannot reach
your destination in this way. Sitting in one place, offering the bhog,
eating and spending so much time watching facebook—this is not what our life
is for. We did not come to Gurudev for that."
