"The Lord’s magnanimous pastimes and the glowing glancing of His smiling face are all indications of His extensive benedictions. One must therefore concentrate on this transcendental form of the Lord, as long as the mind can be fixed on Him by meditation." (Srimad Bhagavatam, 2.2.12)

“An Acharya is one who fully understands the conclusions of the revealed scriptures. His own behavior reflects his deep realization, and thus he is a living example of divine precept. He is therefore known as an Acharya, or one who teaches the meaning of the scriptures both by word and deed.” (Vayu Purana,1.24)

“When the avatara (the incarnation of God) arrives in this world, He appears to our vision as a person standing against the very element of time itself. Time is forced to a standstill as a result of the very gravitas of His presence. The darkness recedes. The Sun of Dharma illumines all the world. The demonic know the stark reality of God's power with more assurance than they know even their own subjective existence. The demonic tremble at His presence. The devotees rejoice. And reality itself bows at His feet. Victory is Bhagavan's alone.” - Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya

"To be one who is devoted to truth is all too often a solitary path." - Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya

“In the Vedas, the Ramayana, Puranas and Mahabharata, from the very beginning to the end, as well as within the middle, only Hari, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is explained.” (Hari Vamsa, 3.323.34)

“He who has supreme faith in God and the same faith in his Guru is a knower of Brahman, who reaches supreme beatitude. Such is the teaching of the Veda.” (Satyayaniya Upanishad, 40)

"The Lord is always smiling, and the devotee should constantly see the Lord in this form, as He looks very mercifully towards the devotee. In this way the meditator should look towards the Supreme Godhead, the bestower of all benedictions." (Bhagavata Purana, 4.8.52)
