- Simply becoming vegetarian is no great qualification. Somebody is taking meat and somebody is taking vegetable, it does not make any difference

- Such a devotee's (who's disposition of mind is taking calamitous situations as God's benediction and taking responsibility for past misdeeds) claim for promotion to the spiritual world is assured in all circumstances

- They (Mayavadi sannyasis) begged to be pardoned for the offenses they had committed by criticizing the Lord (Caitanya) for simply chanting and dancing and not taking part in the study of the Vedanta-sutra

- They (the gosvamis) never at any time said, "Last night I saw Krsna dancing with the gopis." Such claims are not made by a mature devotee, but by one who takes things very cheaply
- They (the mistaken leaders) mislead us into taking some temporary benefit, but how long can their plans and schemes go on? If they persist until they die of heart failure or are killed by assassins, then another just like them takes their place
- They are all hippies. So what do we expect? They are taking education, and then, after taking education, they don't do anything. This is a problem
- They are big, big scientists, philosophers, and cheating others. They are unable to understand, themselves, and the same rascal knowledge they are distributing to others & taking Nobel Prize. This is the mudhas, the society of the cheaters & the cheated

- We are very satisfied that this path (of Caitanya Mahaprabhu) is being opened by this Krsna consciousness movement because so many European and American boys and girls are taking this philosophy seriously and gradually attaining perfection

- We do not allow anyone become a preacher unless he is strictly following the Vaisnava principles of no eating meat, fish, or eggs; no sex outside of marriage; no gambling; and no taking any kind of intoxication whatsoever
- We do not know that we are taking great risk, great risk. Because there is another life. After death, there is life. The modern people, they do not understand it
