"Dedicate your Life to Krishna"
Link to a great website of Srila Prabhupad's lecture, with audio, transcription and quiz!
This is a cool website I found, which is an archive of the lectures of Srila Prabhupad. The link above is for a lecture on dedicating one's self to Krishna, Mayapur, 1977. The site even has a "test" with answers to quiz you on your understanding of the lecture...I love how one can listen to the lecture, read along, and then quiz themselves. Pretty fun! It is fun to be able to listen and learn from Srila Prabhupad. What a blessing to be able to be in association with a dear teacher, and thus Krishna, anytime, anywhere, transcending space and time. Hare Krishna~
Some beautiful quotes from the lecture:
- He [Krsna] doesn't say all these material possessions, that "If one is very rich man, he can have My favor." No. Krsna is not a poor man like me, that if somebody gives me some money, I become benefited. He's self-sufficient, atmarama. So there is no need of any help from anyone else. He's fully satisfied, atmarama. Only bhakti, love, that is required.
- part and parcel of Krsna, every one of us. So everyone has got some duty. Krsna has created us, expecting something to be done by us for satisfaction of Krsna. That is bhakti.
- We should not waste our valuable time in any other occupation or business. Simply inquire and be ready how to serve Krsna. Anukulyena krsnanusila Anukula. Not your satisfaction but Krsna's satisfaction.
- ...real devotional service is activity. One must be active, and the best activity is to preach the glory of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is the best activity. Na ca tasmad manusyesu kascid me priya-krttamah.
