Remember Your
Nitya Svarup
'We did not come to the temple to be temple managers – if we just can become
servants of devotees, that is sufficient. We must not have the ego that we
are devotees. Our ego should be that we are servants of devotees.'

Practise and Preach
'Call out, "Doyal Nitai! Hare Krishna!" You are staying at home now, during
the lockdown, but you must always engage yourself in reading, chanting,
listening. The Lord has sent us to this world to chant His Holy Name and to
preach about Him.'

Love for Service
'Always submit everything at the holy feet of Sri Guru and Vaishnavs. There
is Lord, there is Guru and Vaishnavs above us, and we must leave everything
up to them. We will do our service every day – whether they accept it or not,
it is their matter – we will continue doing it every day. Always remember
this.'

Deities' Pastimes
'The Supreme Personality of Godhead come from the transcendental Vaikuntha
Dham to this material world and reveals His pastimes—this is His
avatara-lila (pastimes of His incarnations). In the same way, the
worshippable Deity is also avatara-lila, also pastimes of His
incarnation.'

Be a Disciple
'I want to be chastised by Gurudev—I will follow his order to a T. This
should not be merely lip-deep, you must want it in writing, in your heart,
and in your mind—I must hanker to be disciplined with my entire being. If you
can imbibe such mood, you must certainly get benefit.'

In Your Life
'Sri Gurudev is the only shelter for a disciple. Those who have become
disciples live in complete adherence to their guru. If one retains
independence, they cannot be called a "disciple" – they can take initiation,
but if they do not accept the guidance of Sri Gurudev, they cannot be called
a real disciple.'

Today in the calendar:
Gaura Chaturthi. Disappearance of Tridandi-swami Srimad Bhakti Gaurava Giri
Maharaj (Sripad Paramananda Vidyaratna Prabhu, a favourite and intimate
disciple of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupad).
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj: "Even if you do not know anything about the Vaishnav mentioned in the calendar, you must still give them 'jay' on this day. We must always remember disappearance and appearance days of all Vaishnavs. If we can remember such personalities, such great souls, it will bring a great benefit to our spiritual life."
"We should always check the calendar, and when we see some dates mentioned
there, even if we do not know anything about the Vaishnav or events mentioned
there, we can at least give 'jay' to them—that also brings some good sukriti,
some purification to us. Seeing the calendar and taking devotees' names early
in the morning, from the beginning of the day, is very good for all
devotees."
"Wake up, look into the calendar and give 'jay' to your Guru and Vaishnavs. Always pay obeisance to your Guru and Vaishnavs when you wake up in the morning, always give them 'jay'. Always keep faith and show respect to them. Always see the calendar—whose appearance day it is, whose disappearance day it is. Even if you cannot make a festival, at least you can give them 'jay', it will bring you benefit. When you give 'jay' to your Guru and Vaishnavs, it brings you sukriti. For example, today is the disappearance day of a Vaishnav—give 'jay' to him, remember him. We must always remember the words of Vaishnavs. If I remember the words of Vaishnavs, I get some benefit, some deposit through that."

Beyond
Surface Understanding
'If somebody cannot overcome Maya, they will have to keep coming to this
material world, wandering all over the universe, again and again – Krishna
keeps Himself and His devotees far away from them.'

Kirtan-Seva
'The Lord has created such a situation for us externally that we are staying
now in our rooms. All places are closed now. But still, we have got this
opportunity now to hear about the Lord. We are often busy with our work,
family and material life, but by the wish of the Lord, all external work is
stopped now. We must not waste this opportunity.'
