The more we are happy in Krishna Consciousness, the more we become purified.

In my own spiritual journey, I became a swami on the Hindu path of Bhakti. In the Hindu tradition, a swami is a monk who forgoes regular family life for the purpose of making the whole world his family and channels his full energy into spiritual practice, devotion to God and service to humanity.

A virtue which is divine is humility.

The Absolute Truth can be perceived by a repentant heart.

To protect any community, we need intelligence and to nourish it we need humility.

I traveled around America and then at nineteen, went to Europe and hitchhiked from London to the Himalayas in India. I studied various forms of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and in India, various forms of Buddhism and Hinduism. Eventually, I came to the path of unconditional love and devotion to the one God, who in our tradition we call Krishna. I met my guru and became a swami. This allowed me to share that gift, which I consider to be a very deep universal expression of compassion.

Bhakti and Humility cannot be separated like sweetness cannot be separated from sweet.
