Giving Us Life

"For one who explains the supreme secret to the devotees, devotional service is guaranteed, and at the end he will come back to Me." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-gita, 18.68)

"From the seeds distributed to the disciples by the spiritual master, trees of devotion get planted everywhere. But what's even more remarkable is that the guru teaches his spiritual descendants how to distribute seeds themselves. This was especially the mission of Lord Chaitanya, who cut through the barriers erected by sectarian traditions and ignorance by traveling from town to town and inducing others to chant the names of Hari Krishna]. Without the seed, there cannot be any fruit, so without the holy name being freely distributed to everyone, the ancient art of bhakti remains a secret known only to a select few. Since bhakti is the constitutional position of the soul, it should not remain hidden from anyone."
