When the kirtan is harmonious with so many people, it’s a tumultuous beautiful sound. We can’t hear just one voice during the chorus; or rather we do hear one voice. But that one voice is actually the sound of everyone’s voice in harmony. That’s our offering to God. And why is it so pleasing to the Lord? Because we are all cooperating for a higher purpose. We are all united for the pleasure of the center, for the pleasure of Krishna, in spite of all our differences.

Materialism is the consciousness of wanting to exploit and enjoy.

We must be instruments of God's compassion to those who are suffering.

Wherever there is power, there is very great responsibility to utilize it properly.

A grateful heart is not one that is very selective and choosy about what to be grateful for.

Fierce Determination and Gentle Humility are the ornaments which make one attractive in the eyes of the Lord.

Krishna is present fully in His holy name and this is realized by the humility and sincerity in our chanting.
