If I could offer only one key to understanding this divine dialogue, it would be to remember that it takes place in the depths of consciousness and that Krishna is not some external being, human or superhuman, but the spark of divinity that lies at the core of the human personality. This is not literary or philosophical conjecture; Krishna says as much to Arjuna over and over: "I am the Self in the heart of every creature, Arjuna, and the beginning, middle, and end of their existence" (10:20). ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
We are not cabin-dwellers, born to a life cramped and confined; we are meant to explore, to seek, to push the limits of our potential as human beings. The world of the senses is just a base camp: we are meant to be as much at home in consciousness as in the world of physical reality. ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
We [with Nimai Larson] listened to hardly any music except Hare Krishna music growing up and the occasional Garth Brooks that our babysitter would play for us. From a very early age, we looked at music as mantra based, very cyclical, and having no linear time. ~ Taraka Larson
Krishna quotes by Taraka Larson
You don't need validation or approval from anyone but yourself. Even if the entire world goes against, disagrees with or attempts to crush you, stand up for what you believe in, and stand up alone if you have to! It's better to die while living your own truth than to live in the truth of another. Lord Krishna in the holy Bhagavad Gita pointed this out when he said;

"It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection."

Integrity is the key to freedom. It's only your own truth that can 'set you free.' It's perfectly fine if your truth doesn't match that of others because the experience of physical reality is a completely subjective one. It doesn't make either of you wrong, as long as you're both being true to yourselves, that's all that matters. ~ Craig Krishna
Krishna quotes by Craig Krishna
Grace surrounds us and holds us like the sky holds everything in it ... and as soon as I find a way to let go of my story, I keep seeing over and over again that grace is always here and it includes the forgetting and the remembering. The practice is the opening of the hand to catch the raindrops, which are always falling. If you don't open your hand, you get wet, but you don't get much to drink. ~ Krishna Das
Krishna quotes by Krishna Das
Formerly when the Govardhanagiri (mountain) was raised aloft by a little boy, the gopis and gopalas realised that Krishna was the Lord. Now, it is not one Govardhanagiri, a whole range will be lifted, you will see! ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Krishna quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
Never Let Your Inner Mental Peace Be Disturbed By External Circumstances. ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Since one cannot visually experience the presence of the Supersoul, He appears before us as a liberated devotee. Such a spiritual master is none other than Krishna himself. ~ A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Krishna quotes by A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
While seeing or hearing, touching or smelling; eating, moving about, or sleeping; breathing 9 or speaking, letting go or holding on, even opening or closing the eyes, they understand that these are only the movements of the senses among sense objects. 10 ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Get comfortable. You are gonna be in my head for a while. ~ Van Krishna
Krishna quotes by Van Krishna
If you put Buddha, Jesus Christ, Socrates, Shakespeare, Arjuna, Krishna at a dinner table together, I can't see them having an argument. ~ Hugh Jackman
Krishna quotes by Hugh Jackman
I have no doubt that your acceptance of Christ coincided with some very positive changes in your life. Perhaps you now love other people in a way that you never imagined possible. You may even experience feelings of bliss while praying. I do not wish to denigrate any of these experiences. I would point out, however, that billions of other human beings, in every time and place, have had similar experiences--but they had them while thinking about Krishna, or Allah, or the Buddha, while making art or music, or while contemplating the beauty of nature. ~ Sam Harris
Krishna quotes by Sam Harris
Even if somebody tells us something, the hit, the light goes on inside of us, not out there. We learn and understand everything within ourselves. ~ Krishna Das
Krishna quotes by Krishna Das
Therefore the Gita is not for those who have no faith. The author makes Krishna say: 'Do not entrust this treasure to him who is without sacrifice, without devotion, without the desire for this teaching and who denies Me. On ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Krishna quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
resembling a stylized lotus. Inside the circle, in proportions ~ Krishna Udayasankar
Krishna quotes by Krishna Udayasankar
The repetition of the holy names reveals a presence hidden within the heart. Something begins to happen that's very disturbing - we get happy. ~ Krishna Das
Krishna quotes by Krishna Das
If you [can realise Brahman] by standing on your head, or on one foot, or by worshipping five thousand gods with three heads each - welcome to it! ... Do it any way you can! Nobody has any right to say anything. Therefore, Krishna says, if your method is better and higher, you have no business to say that another man's method is bad, however wicked you may think it. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Krishna quotes by Swami Vivekananda
I am grateful for the unending hunger to rest in the mind of Buddha, the heart of Krishna, a domain where all yogis, sages, and saints abide, waiting for those whose real self has emerged from the searing pilgrimage of Spirit's flames. ~ Rod Stryker
Krishna quotes by Rod Stryker
The heart is like a mirror. When we dust it off, we are able to see ourselves. The dust is all our stuff - guilt, anger - this stuff is reflected back to us. Practice removes the dust from the mirror of our hearts. ~ Krishna Das
Krishna quotes by Krishna Das
One who loves Krishna will give Him whatever He wants, and he avoids offering anything which is undesirable or unasked for. Thus, meat, fish and eggs should not be offered to Krishna ... Vegetables, grains, fruits, milk and water are the proper foods for human beings and are prescribed by Lord Krishna Himself. Whatever else you eat, can not be offered to Him, since He will not accept it. ~ A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Krishna quotes by A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The practice of the Name turns us in the direction of the light. The practice of the Name removes the dust from our eyes so that we can see the world as it really is: lit up by the light of the guru. ~ Krishna Das
Krishna quotes by Krishna Das
It was Vyasa's genius to take the whole great Mahabharata epic and see it as metaphor for the perennial war between the forces of light and the forces of darkness in every human heart. ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna was conceived in the womb of Devaki mysteriously as the sun setting in the West imparts his rays to the rising moon in the East. ~ A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Krishna quotes by A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
What life is to humor, humor is to life. ~ Krishna Sagar
Krishna quotes by Krishna Sagar
Nabadwip, a centre of piety and learning consecrated to the memory of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu - saint, mystic, and devotee of Sri Krishna. ~ Amitav Ghosh
Krishna quotes by Amitav Ghosh
When you have nothing to say, don't. ~ Krishna Saagar
Krishna quotes by Krishna Saagar
There is love in this world, and it lives within us as who we really are, not who we think we are. ~ Krishna Das
Krishna quotes by Krishna Das
Time is the beginning & the end. ~ Krishna Sagar
Krishna quotes by Krishna Sagar
Every home is a temple and the wife is the deity of that temple. ~ Krishna Mahabharata
Krishna quotes by Krishna Mahabharata
If one puts an iron rod in fire, the rod gradually becomes hotter and hotter, until it becomes red hot and it acquires the quality of fire itself. This is the state of Krishna consciousness. ~ Anil B. Sarkar
Krishna quotes by Anil B. Sarkar
Krishna placed a finger on his chin. 'Eldest, when you have reached a certain eminence, you must be ready to reach out to a higher eminence; otherwise you will be torn to pieces,'he said. ~ Kanhaiyalal Maniklal Munshi
Krishna quotes by Kanhaiyalal Maniklal Munshi
You don't see the world as it is, you see it,as you are. ~ Krishna Saagar
Krishna quotes by Krishna Saagar
Like melancholic face of 'Radha' due to the absence of 'Krishna', that evening was gloomy. ~ Mangalesh Joshi
Krishna quotes by Mangalesh Joshi
Expression is saying what you wish to say, Impression is saying what others wish to hear. ~ Krishna Saagar
Krishna quotes by Krishna Saagar
I am reminded of a story of Lord Krishna when he was a cowherd. Every night he invites the milkmaids to dance with him in the forest. They come and they dance. The night is dark, the fire in their midst roars and crackles, the beat of the music gets ever faster - the girls dance and dance and dance with their sweet lord, who has made himself so abundant as to be in the arms of each and every girl. But the moment the girls become possessive, the moment each one imagines that Krishna is her partner alone, he vanishes. So it is that we should not be jealous of God. ~ Yann Martel
Krishna quotes by Yann Martel
Short wins does not guarantee long victories. ~ Krishna Sagar
Krishna quotes by Krishna Sagar
The secret of karma yoga which is to perform actions without any fruitive desires is taught by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad-Gita. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Krishna quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Would you just fall in love with me already so I can stop acting normal. ~ Van Krishna
Krishna quotes by Van Krishna
Over-attachment for one's close relatives is simply born of ignorance. Every creature in the world is born alone and dies alone. He experiences the results of his own good and evil deeds and in the end leaves the present body to accept another. The belief that one person is the relation of another is nothing more than illusion. ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
All we can know is our own subjective version of reality. That's the way we go through our lives. Everybody. ~ Krishna Das
Krishna quotes by Krishna Das
If you turn back time and look, 5100 years ago in the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna did the same thing. He has been the first HR manager India knows. When Arjuna was so depressed and was not ready to do his job, Lord Krishna was with him in the battlefield, and told him all sorts of things. First, He warned Arjuna that people would blame him for sure. Then He incited Arjuna's ego and tried to wake him up. And then He offered His disciple different incentives, saying, "If you win, you will have the kingdom. If you lose, you will enjoy Heaven. Come on, fight." In many ways, Lord Krishna lifted Arjuna out of that depression. ~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Krishna quotes by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Expression is the truth, impression is a lie. ~ Krishna Sagar
Krishna quotes by Krishna Sagar
I am the Atma abiding in the heart of all beings. I am also the beginning, the middle, and the end of all beings. ~ Anonymous
Krishna quotes by Anonymous
Tri-guna appears in discourse of Krishna prominently,
To Arjun upon the battlefield of Kurukshetra clearly;

That the backdrop for the Bhagwat Gita surely be,
All three gunas are held to delude the world clearly:

त्रिभिर्गुणमयैर्भावैरेभिः सर्वमिदं जगत्।
मोहितं नाभिजानाति मामेभ्यः परमव्ययम्॥ ७.१३॥
tribhirguṇamayairbhāvairebhiḥ sarvamidaṁ jagat |
mohitaṁ nābhijānāti māmebhyaḥ paramavyayam || 7.13||
World deluded by these Three Gunas does not know Me:
Who beyond these Gunas and imperishable does but be.
(7.13) ~ Munindra Misra
Krishna quotes by Munindra Misra
Krishna says, fight. He says, go out on the battlefield and kill those people whom it's your job to kill; and whether they were your friends or not, you have to look at the big picture. In the big picture, you can't go kill anybody, you can't be killed. ~ Frederick Lenz
Krishna quotes by Frederick Lenz
Arjuna, I will now enumerate the marks of the devotee I most dearly love. I love the one who
harbors no ill will toward any living being, who returns love for hatred, who is friendly and
compassionate toward all. I love the devotee who is beyond 'I' and 'mine,' unperturbed by pain and not elated by pleasure, who possesses firm faith, is forgiving, ever contented and ever meditating on Me.
"I love the peaceful devotee who is neither a source of agitation in the world nor agitated by the world. I love those who are free of fear, envy, and other annoyances that the world brings, who accept the knocks that come their way as blessings in disguise.
"I love those who do their worldly duties unconcerned and untroubled by life. I love those who expect absolutely nothing. Those who are pure both internally and externally are also very dear to Me. I love the devotees who are ready to be My instrument, meet any demands I make on them, and yet ask nothing of Me.
"I love those who do not rejoice or feel revulsion, who do not grieve, do not yearn for possessions, are not affected by the bad or good things that happen to and around them and yet are full of devotion to Me. They are dear to Me because they live in the Self (Atma), not in the commotion of the world.
"I love devotees whose attitudes are the same toward friend or foe, who are indifferent to honor or ignominy, heat or cold, praise or criticism - who not only control their talking but are silent within ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
I am death; I am this blood, these ravaged lands, and this wanton destruction.
– Panchali Draupadi ~ Krishna Udayasankar
Krishna quotes by Krishna Udayasankar
But Krishna was a chameleon. ~ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Krishna quotes by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
I can not give you the reference of Ram Chandar or Krishna, because they were not historical figures. I can not help it but to present to you the names of (Hazrat) Abu Bakar (RA) and (Hazrat) Umar Farooq (RA). They were leaders of a vast Empire, yet they lived a life of austerity. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Krishna quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
In spiritual life, one must conduct one's whole life under the guidance of the guru. Only one who executes his spiritual life under the direction of the spiritual master can achieve the mercy of Krishna. ~ A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Krishna quotes by A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
… the greatest mystery, the greatest wonder of creation is that we are capable of both relentless reason and boundless love ... It is not about what we are, but what we can become.
– Govinda Shauri ~ Krishna Udayasankar
Krishna quotes by Krishna Udayasankar
Not by refraining from action does man attain freedom from action. Not by mere renunciation does he attain supreme perfection. ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Love is the door, it is irrelevant with whom you have fallen in love. Love redeems, neither Jesus, nor Krishna. Love redeems. Fall in love. Love is the only redeeming force. Love is the savior. ~ Rajneesh
Krishna quotes by Rajneesh
...body and mind are mutually dependent and responsive to such an amazing extent that not an eyelid flickers nor does a muscle move nor an artery throb without the knowledge of the mind, and similarly not a memory stirs, nor does a thought strike, nor an idea occur without causing a reaction in the body. The effect of disease, of organic changes in the tissues, of exhaustion, of diet, of medicine, of intoxicants and narcotics on the mind, and of pleasure and pain, sorrow and suffering, emotion and passion, fear and anxiety on the body is too well known to need mention. The close connection between the two may with justice be likened to that existing between a mirror and the object reflected in it. The least change in the object is instantaneously reflected by the mirror and conversely any change in the reflection denotes a corresponding change in the object also. ~ Gopinath Krishna
Krishna quotes by Gopinath Krishna
He no longer saw the face of his friend Siddhartha, instead he saw other faces, many, a long sequence, a flowing river of faces, of hundreds, of thousands, which all came and disappeared, and yet all seemed to be there simultaneously, which all constantly changed and renewed themselves, and which were still all Siddhartha. He saw the face of a fish, a carp, with an infinitely painfully opened mouth, the face of a dying fish, with fading eyes - he saw the face of a new-born child, red and full of wrinkles, distorted from crying - he saw the face of a murderer, he saw him plunging a knife into the body of another person - he saw, in the same second, this criminal in bondage, kneeling and his head being chopped off by the executioner with one blow of his sword - he saw the bodies of men and women, naked in positions and cramps of frenzied love - he saw corpses stretched out, motionless, cold, void - he saw the heads of animals, of boars, of crocodiles, of elephants, of bulls, of birds - he saw gods, saw Krishna, saw Agni - he saw all of these figures and faces in a thousand relationships with one another, each one helping the other, loving it, hating it, destroying it, giving re-birth to it, each one was a will to die, a passionately painful confession of transitoriness, and yet none of them died, each one only transformed, was always re-born, received evermore a new face, without any time having passed between the one and the other face - and all of these figures and faces res ~ Hermann Hesse
Krishna quotes by Hermann Hesse
Krishna warns Arjuna that a life of work, even successful work, cannot be fulfilling without Self-knowledge. Ultimately, the true Self within him is not affected by what he does, whether good or bad. Only knowledge of the Self, which rises like the sun at dawn, can fulfill the purpose of his life and lead him beyond rebirth. This ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
When you advance in Krishna Consciousness it is more difficult to tolerate being honored than to tolerate being dishonored. ~ Radhanath Swami
Krishna quotes by Radhanath Swami
Buddha left a road map, Jesus left a road map, Krishna left a road map, Rand McNally left a road map. But you still have to travel the road yourself ~ Stephen Levine
Krishna quotes by Stephen Levine
Whether you worship Christ, Krishna, Kali or Allah, you actually worship the one Light that is also in you, since It pervades all things. ~ Anandamayi Ma
Krishna quotes by Anandamayi Ma
The sun was reaching the meridian and Bhishma knew his departure was near. He controlled his mind, absorbing it in thoughts of Krishna alone. Thinking of Krishna's many divine pastimes during his presence on earth, he spoke one final time. "I can now meditate with full concentration upon that one Lord, Krishna, visible before me, because I have transcended the misconception of duality. It is this Krishna who is present in everyone's heart and who is the ultimate destination for all transcendentalists, including those who accept the absolute truth as being simply the Brahman. Even though different people in different parts of the world may perceive the sun differently, the sun is one. I therefore surrender myself fully to that allpowerful, omnipresent Krishna. May all be well with the worlds. ~ Krishna Dharma
Krishna quotes by Krishna Dharma
Arjuna asked Sri Krishna, "In this chaotic condition of my mind, what is my duty? I surrender myself to you, great Master. Please tell me."
The answer of Bhagavan Sri Krishna is, "You understand nothing. You draw conclusions without proper understanding of the structure of life and your relationship to people or things in general. It is a very sorry state. How can you draw conclusions without proper premises? If you draw a conclusion based on a wrong premise, the conclusion is also wrong. Therefore, all that you have been told up to this time is without any foundation because you do not know either yourself or the world. ~ Swami Krishnananda
Krishna quotes by Swami Krishnananda
The road for Arjuna is unexpected. Sri Krishna says you have to face that which you fear the most that which you're most attached to and eliminate it. In this case he has to fight a battle, and the battle is his attachments. ~ Frederick Lenz
Krishna quotes by Frederick Lenz
In life you don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate. ~ Krishna Sagar
Krishna quotes by Krishna Sagar
When one chants the Holy Names, listens to Krishna katha or just meditates on Krishna's form, one's body feels wellbeing, one's mind becomes tranquil, one beholds beauty in the sky, nature, people, animals, insects - in everything. Vāsudeva sarvam iti, everything is Krishna. One feels the cooling touch of the breeze. One feels the golden warmth of the setting sun. In an orb of happiness, one reposes oneself at the lotus feet of the Lord like a honey bee. ~ Anil B. Sarkar
Krishna quotes by Anil B. Sarkar
we never really encounter the world; all we experience is our own nervous system. ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
I knew that if I did not start chanting with people, that I would never be able to clean out the dark corners of my own heart. I knew it with every cell in my body and mind. ~ Krishna Das
Krishna quotes by Krishna Das
makes his sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and sends rain to the righteous and to the unrighteous ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Lord Krishna ... proclaims Self-realization, true wisdom, as the highest branch of all human knowledge-the king of all sciences, the very essence of dharma ("religion")-for it alone permanently uproots the cause of man's threefold suffering and reveals to him his true nature of Bliss. Self-realization is yoga or "oneness" with truth-the direct perception or experience of truth by the all-knowing intuitive faculty of the soul. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
Krishna quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
When we face difficulties and still remain faithful to Krishna and spiritual master we access the infinite mercy of their hearts. ~ Radhanath Swami
Krishna quotes by Radhanath Swami
They say that life is an accident, driven by sexual desire, that the universe has no moral order, no truth, no God.

Driven by insatiable lusts, drunk on the arrogance of power, hypocritical, deluded, their actions foul with self-seeking, tormented by a vast anxiety that continues until their death, convinced that the gratification of desire is life's sole aim, bound by a hundred shackles of hope, enslaved by their greed, they squander their time dishonestly piling up mountains of wealth.

"Today I got this desire, and tomorrow I will get that one; all these riches are mine, and soon I will have even more. Already I have killed these enemies, and soon I will kill the rest. I am the lord, the enjoyer, successful, happy, and strong, noble, and rich, and famous. Who on earth is my equal? ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
O voyagers, O seamen,
You who came to port, and you whose bodies
Will suffer the trial and judgement of the sea,
Or whatever event, this is your real destination.'
So Krishna, as when he admonished Arjuna
On the field of battle.
Not fare well,
But fare forward, voyagers. ~ T. S. Eliot
Krishna quotes by T. S. Eliot
Detachment does not mean to neglect what Krishna gives you. Detachment means to do the needful as an offering to Krishna. ~ Radhanath Swami
Krishna quotes by Radhanath Swami
You cannot think your way out of a box made of thought. ~ Krishna Das
Krishna quotes by Krishna Das
A Christian must worship the Self as Christ, not Christ as Christ. A Muslim must worship the Self as Mohammed, not Mohammed as Mohammed. A Hindu must worship the Self as Krishna, not Krishna as Krishna. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Krishna quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Unless we hear very strictly with great faith to the order of our Spiritual Master, we will not understand what is the mercy of Krishna and how it is coming upon us. ~ Radhanath Swami
Krishna quotes by Radhanath Swami
That Krishna himself was a historical figure is indeed quite indubitable. ~ Rudolf Otto
Krishna quotes by Rudolf Otto
On the Path, it's impossible to know how you are doing because it's the judger who is disappearing. ~ Krishna Das
Krishna quotes by Krishna Das
Out of all the opulences of a living entity its humility which pleases Krishna. Other opulences can also please Krishna if offered with humility. ~ Radhanath Swami
Krishna quotes by Radhanath Swami
I think to be in a monastery or an ashram is not always the answer because we don't fight, we kick back. We don't listen to Sri Krishna. ~ Frederick Lenz
Krishna quotes by Frederick Lenz
In truth, I am a single mother. But I don't feel alone at all in parenting my daughter. Krishna has a whole other side of her family who loves her, too. And so Krishna is parented by me, but also by her grandmother and aunts and cousins and uncles and friends. ~ Padma Lakshmi
Krishna quotes by Padma Lakshmi
To save the family, abandon a man;
to save the village, abandon a family;
to save the country, abandon a village;
to save the soul, abandon the earth. ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
One can be a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ without denying the flickers of the sacred in followers of Yahweh, or Kali, or Krishna. A globalization of evangelism 'in connection' with others, and a globally 'in-formed' gospel, is capable of talking across the fence with Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Muslim - people from other so called 'new' religious traditions ('new' only to us) - without assumption of superiority and power ~ Leonard Sweet
Krishna quotes by Leonard Sweet
The Krishna of the Gita is perfection and right knowledge personified, but the picture is imaginary. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Krishna quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
There's a great Hindu story about a lady who wanted to meet the god Krishna. So she went into the forest, closed her eyes, and prayed and meditated on making the god appear and lo and behold, Krishna came wandering down the forest path toward her. But when Krishna tapped the lady on the shoulder, she, without opening her eyes, told him to get lost because she was busy meditating on a very important goal. ~ Jen Sincero
Krishna quotes by Jen Sincero
In the words of Jeff Hammerbacher, a former manager at Facebook and the founder of Cloudera, "The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads. That sucks. ~ Golden Krishna
Krishna quotes by Golden Krishna
I like the evening in India, the one magic moment when the sun balances on the rim of the world, and the hush descends, and ten thousand civil servants drift homeward on a river of bicycles, brooding on the Lord Krishna and the cost of living. ~ James Cameron
Krishna quotes by James Cameron
Indeed, true seers, perceiving Divinity in everyone, do no harm to anyone. The ones who don't perceive this unity separate themselves from others, seeing some as friends and others as foes. These are the ones who do harm. It is this illusion of separateness that causes all evils perpetrated by humanity! How can one who really knows Atma injure the same Atma in another? As I have often repeated, the true seer of Atma reaches the Godhead and leaves death and rebirth behind. ~ Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Krishna quotes by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
Next time someone tells me they believe in God, I'll say 'Oh which one? Zeus? Hades? Jupiter? Mars? Odin? Thor? Krishna? Vishnu? Ra? ... ' If they say 'Just God. I only believe in the one God,' I'll point out that they are nearly as atheistic as me. I don't believe in 2,870 gods, and they don't believe in 2,869. ~ Ricky Gervais
Krishna quotes by Ricky Gervais
Different people call on [God] by different names: some as Allah, some as God, and others as Krishna, Siva, and Brahman. It is like the water in a lake. Some drink it at one place and call it 'jal', others at another place and call it 'pani', and still others at a third place and call it 'water'. The Hindus call it 'jal', the Christians 'water', and the Moslems 'pani'. But it is one and the same thing. ~ Ramakrishna
Krishna quotes by Ramakrishna
No heart that holds onto a right desire can tread the road of loss ~ Gopi Krishna
Krishna quotes by Gopi Krishna
The truth is, Krishna was born much ahead of his time. All great persons are born ahead of their time, and all insignificant people are born after their time. It is only mediocre people who are born in their time. ~ Osho
Krishna quotes by Osho
The truth is always simpler than you can imagine. ~ Christopher Pike
Krishna quotes by Christopher Pike
This is what I do to keep my head screwed on semi-straight and keep my heart open. Whenever I sing, that's why I sing. Whether it's at the Grammys, whether it's in the bathroom, whether it's in front of 10,000 people or three people, by my guru's grace, my head stays in that place. ~ Krishna Das
Krishna quotes by Krishna Das
Radha Krishna
Krishna,
Svayam Bhagavan,
Avatar of Vishnu,
play your flute for me
beneath this parasol of stars,
diadems bejeweling your eternal crown,
and I will dance for you a joyous dance.

Svayam Bhagavan,
Avatar of Vishnu,
visit your consort, Radha,
mantled in the black of night,
the cow-herd girl who has stolen your heart,
and now the gopi has become the guru
and awaits her lover with open arms.

Svayam Bhagavan,
Avatar of Vishnu,
stay the night,
and learn the love of Radha,shakti,
her wifely love, the svakaya-rasa,
her spiritual love, the parakiya-rasa,
for immortality is a curse without both of these.

Svayam Bhagavan,
Avatar of Vishnu,
return to heaven now
for the cock has crowed
and yet you linger, lazy in Radha's bed.
Even endless love must seek and end
to repeat the joy of new beginnings.
Return, Krishna, I beseech you,
for my feet are weary of the dance
and I have fields to plow and rice to plant. ~ Beryl Dov
Krishna quotes by Beryl Dov
If you don't steal time, time will loot you. ~ Hare Krishna Chandrasekaran
Krishna quotes by Hare Krishna Chandrasekaran
Hare Krishna, Peace and Love ~ George Harrison
Krishna quotes by George Harrison
Even when Krishna gives you strength, maya will delude you to think it is your strength. ~ Radhanath Swami
Krishna quotes by Radhanath Swami
So it is our request that you try to study Bhagavad-gītā as it is. Don't try to distort it by your so-called education. Try to understand Kṛiṣṇa as He is saying. Then you will be benefited. Your life will be successful. ~ A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Krishna quotes by A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The children who were able to sit for three minutes with a marshmallow on the table in front of them without eating it were rewarded with two marshmallows when the experimenter returned. But that's as crazy as inbox-watching. Krishna said we have the right to our labor, but not to the fruits of our labor. He meant that the piano is its own reward, as is the canvas, the barre, and the movieola. Fuck the marshmallows. ~ Steven Pressfield
Krishna quotes by Steven Pressfield
I chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that's what I'm doing. ~ Krishna Das
Krishna quotes by Krishna Das
