No matter how good you are, you still need grace to get out of the material world. You can be a yogi or a monk or a nun, but without God's grace you still can't make it.

Chanting Hare Krishna is really the same sort of thing as meditation, but I think it has a quicker effect. I mean, even if you put your beads down, you can still say the mantra or sing it without actually keeping track on your beads.

If people would just wake up to what's real, there would be no misery in the world. I guess chanting's a pretty good place to start.

Rap music is just computerised crap. I listen to Top of the Pops and after three songs I feel like killing someone.

I still feel like everybody else, that I'm just growing and learning. Basically, I feel pleased to have discovered this thing that's inside me, that's connected to the same thing that's inside everybody and everything.

I guess that's the business of devotees - to make you think of God.

With most of the people you just communicate you don't have to talk.
