Pearls of Devotion

If I am genuinely searching for kṛṣna-prema, I have not after all made any mistake in accepting the shelter of the lotus feet of pure Gaudiya Vaiṣnavas.

By taking shelter of the lotus feet of pure Gaudiya Vaiṣnavas in the Gaudiya Maṭha, beggars for kṛṣna-prema become qualified to attain their greatest welfare.

The Nectar of Harikatha

When the hot sun shines over the desert, the sand glitters and from a distance it gives an illusory appearance of the presence of water. At that time, the foolish deer runs towards the radiating sand. With the scorching sun above and hot sand underneath, the foolish deer, out of thirst, relinquishes its life running, astray. The necessity of deer is water but there is no water in the direction he is running. There is appearance of water, delusion of water. Similarly, the direction in which foolish people are running in search of happiness and attainment of bliss, happiness is not there. There is a shadow, a delusion of happiness. This is called maya – ‘ma’ means not and ‘ya’ means that.
