Although Christ in my mind is an absolute yogi, I think many Christian teachers today are misrepresenting Christ. They're supposed to be representing Jesus, but they're not doing it very well. They're letting him down very badly, and that's a big turn off.

I consider myself perfectly normal, and I don't know of any part of my life that would be so unusual as to interest the idly curious.

Hallelujah and Hare Krishna are quite the same thing.

There's the whole significance of Krishna as the flute player who awakens our consciousness. It doesn't necessarily have to be a flute because for me it was a sitar or a guitar or even Elvis Presley doing "Heartbreak Hotel." It was like Krishna's flute calling me somewhere. It's just really simple when we can remember.

Wherever I go in the world, when I see devotees, I always say "Hare Krishna!" to them, and they're always pleased to see me. It's a nice relationship. Whether they really know me personally or not, they feel they know me. And they do, really.

Consciousness and meditation are methods where you can actually obtain GOD perception.

You can be standing right in front of the truth and not necessarily see it, and people only get it when they're ready to get it.
