quotes[0]='What is the meaning of bhavet? \'You must hear. If you are not hearing, then it is like an offense. You must obey.\' - You must hear, but with honor, from elevated devotees. If you are not hearing, you are killing yourself. <i>- Srila Gurudeva, Wales, July 1, 2000</i>';quotes[1]='How will this desire to serve Krsna manifest in the heart? It manifests by hearing hari-katha from the bona fide Guru and bona fide Vaisnavas. <i>- Srila Gurudeva, France, July 6, 2002</i>';quotes[2]='Lord Krsna tells Uddhava, \'O friend, the association of My most elevated devotees cuts to pieces all desires for worldly sense gratification. That high-class mahat-sanga, association of pure devotees, can control Me.\' <i>- Srimad-Bhagavatam - 11th Canto</i>';quotes[3]='Mahat-sanga (association of pure devotees) is the most favorable activity for advancement in devotion to the Lord. <i>- Srila Gurudeva, June 25, 2004.</i>';quotes[4]='Performing Vedic fire sacrifices and developing gardens, children\'s schools and areas for cow protection also cannot help you. Daksina (bringing money to Gurudeva) alone will not help. You will have to serve internally, in pure devotee association, so that pure bhakti will come to you. In that association you will learn how to control Krsna in no time. <i>- Srila Gurudeva, June 25, 2004.</i>';quotes[5]='Don\'t have so much faith on reading, you cannot understand a word even. If the Vaisnava is bonafide and he knows all tattva then you can open Srimad Bhagavatam lock and key. Then you can realize, otherwise by your mind, by your intelligence, by your reading, by your dramas, and so on, oh you cannot realize and you will fall down. So we should hear from Vaisnavas. And what will come? Krsna will come by hearing, in the shape of words (harikatha) in the heart, and will clear all kinds of doubts, all anarthas, offenses, and everything and then the heart will be so pure, and Krsna will make him realize everything.. this is the process. <i>- Srila Gurudeva, Kuala Lumpur, Dec 9 1998</i>';quotes[6]='Without mahat-sanga (association of pure devotees), even observing the Ekadasi fast will be like reward-seeking activity. <i>- Srila Gurudeva, June 25, 2004.</i>';quotes[7]='mad-bhakta yatra gayanti tatra tisthami narada - \'O Narada, I am present wherever My devotees are chanting.\' <i>- Sri Krsna to Narada - Padma Purana</i>';quotes[8]='Krsna is saying, \'Life is only successful in the association of the mahat-purusa. It is only successful in mahat-sanga.\' What more can I tell about this subject? What to speak of having their association, even to hear the glorification of this kind of mahatma gives the fruit of bhakti. <i>- Srila Gurudeva - June 25, 2004</i>';quotes[9]='Mahat-sanga, association of pure devotees, will control you and cut all bad worldly attachments. Lord Krsna will come to you and you will be able to attain krsna-bhakti, krsna-prema. <i>- Srila Gurudeva - June 25, 2004</i>';quotes[10]='Our acaryas want bhakti and mahat-sanga. For them, without mahat-sanga there is no need of heaven or even the spiritual world of Vaikuntha. Suppose one person is hearing hari-katha in bona-fide mahat-sanga, and another person is in Vrndavana with the monkeys, taking bath in the Yamuna and performing parikrama of Govardhana, but is not in mahat sanga. Who is better? The person in mahat-sanga is better. A kanistha-adhikari, a neophyte devotee, cannot understand this fact. <i>- Srila Gurudeva - June 25, 2004</i>';quotes[11]='Persons who hear from a spiritual master with great labor and for a long time must hear from the mouths of pure devotees about the character and activities of pure devotees. Pure devotees always think within their hearts of the lotus feet of the Personality of Godhead, who awards His devotees liberation. <i>- Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.13.4</i>';quotes[12]='We must hear sastra, but in mahat-sanga; not here and there. Krsna takes rest in the heart of His devotees. He is always present in their hearts\' glorification of Him; so go to these persons. By their association you will attain devotion to Lord Krsna and your life will be successful. <i>- Srila Gurudeva - June 25, 2004</i>';quotes[13]='You are very fortunate to have come under the guidance of pure Vaisnavas and to hear this very sweet and powerful hari-katha.  I think that your life will be very successful. <i>- Srila Gurudeva, Varsana, November 12, 2002</i>';quotes[14]='sadhu-sanga, sadhu-sanga sarva-sastre kaya lava-matra sadhu-sange sarva-siddhi haya  --  \"The verdict of all revealed scriptures is that by even a moment\'s association with a pure devotee, one can attain all success.\" <i>- Caitanya-Caritamrta, Madhya-lila 22.54</i>';quotes[15]='\"Krsna\'s name and Krsna\'s pastimes -- the hearing of Krsna\'s pastimes -- are not mortal. There is so much difference between mortal world and transcendental world -- so much. These songs of transcendental words in the form of Hari-katha or Krsna\'s Name are so auspicious. If a man has a little honor -- very little -- though he is covered with so much anartha -- ignorance and anarthas -- but if he has a little honor, these transcendental vibrations will come through the ears to the devotee\'s heart. These are not words in the common sense -- Krsna Himself comes. How? His transcendental world comes into the heart of any person who has some slight fraction of sraddha (faith). What is the effect of this realization? He cleans the whole heart, makes it pure and then his sraddha (faith) becomes thickened and then Bhakti (devotion) comes to his heart and he becomes a devotee. All bad habits go away, all anarthas flee. He develops his Krsna Consciousness and nistha (stability), ruci (taste), and asakti (attachment) follow.\" <i>- excerpt from \"Damodara Lila Madhuri\" by Srila Gurudeva</i>';quotes[16]='The jiva\'s supreme auspiciousness comes about by hearing hari-katha in sadhu-sanga. This is because sadhu-sanga is the sole means to attain krsna-bhakti. <i>- Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada</i>';quotes[17]='krsna-bhakti-janma-mula haya \'sadhu-sanga\' - The root cause of bhakti to Sri Krsna is association with sadhus. <i>- Sri Caitanya-caritamrta (Madhya-lila 22.84)</i>';quotes[18]='You can hear these topics, but can you loudly weep for Krsna like Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Srila Rupa Gosvami and others? Only by the mercy of your Gurudeva can you weep, and only if your Gurudeva is bona fide and realized. He can give you the blessing of full transcendental realization, simply by placing his hand on your head. This is really sadhu-sanga. <i>- Srila Gurudeva, Los Angeles, May 11 2003</i>';quotes[19]='We have to hear about the Supreme Lord from His own agent. When we hear about the Supreme Lord from a living sadhu who can deliver these talks in a bold, lively, inspiring way, then all weakness will disappear from our hearts, we will feel a kind of courage which was never there before, and the soul\'s natural tendency to surrender to the Lord will fully manifest itself. In that surrendered heart the eternally manifested truth of the transcendental world will spontaneously reveal itself. <i>- Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada</i>';quotes[20]='Only those who make a great endeavor to seek training and instruction from the sila, or nature and spotless character, of such pure devotees can understand the illusory potency of the Lord. They alone become capable of fully crossing the ocean of maya. <i>- Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura - Sri Sajjana-tosani in 1917</i>';
