“Beauty will come through love, through affection. But first condition there is devotion. Devotion will come through dedication. Then all is related: love, affection, beauty, charm, everything. Devotion, dedication, in the one chamber… If you have no love, you not will get taste.” Classic morning darshan, 11th March 2007, Nabadwip.

“When with love and affection little connection will come to you, then you also get relief from nāmāparādha and that power will give Hari-nām to you. Then you’ll chant repeatedly Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahā-Mantra, and Mahā-Mantra will be merciful to you and will give relief from aparādha, offences. This written in the scriptures.”
