"May there be good fortune throughout the universe, and may all envious persons be pacified. May all living entities become calm by practicing bhakti-yoga, for by accepting devotional service they will think of each other’s welfare. Therefore let us all engage in the service of the supreme transcendence, Lord Sri Krishna, and always remain absorbed in thought of Him."

"The Lord is perpetually happy, and if the living entities associate with the Lord, cooperate with him and take part in his association, then they also become happy."

"This is Krishna conscious vision: 'Oh, there are so many skyscrapers. Why not construct a nice skyscraper temple of Krishna?' This is Krishna consciousness."

"Temple means spiritual educational shelter. People should come and learn what is spiritual life, what is God, what is my relationship with God."

"By giving everything to the cause of the Lord, one does not lose anything, but he gains everything that he could never otherwise expect."
