God Knows Everyone's Business!
God is also an individual person as you are individual person, I am individual person, but the difference between God and you and me is this, that you know your business, I know my business, but God knows everyone's business. That is the difference.
- From Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.5 -- Melbourne, April 3, 1972, Lecture at Christian Monastery

At least in my life, as with so many devotees, whatever has happened to me in Krsna consciousness began with reading one of Srila Prabhupada's books. Looking back at what that Krsna book did for me, I can very confidently state that Srila Prabhupada's book s are not really books at all, at least not in the ordinary sense. Srila Prabhupada's books are not simply pieces of paper with ink on them. Srila Prabhupada's books are mercy incarnations of Krsna in literary form, presenting Himself through His chosen re presentative. Krsna is personally present in every letter, along with his pure devotee Srila Prabhupada. It must be so, otherwise how could they alter and uplift lives as they do?

So this is Vaiṣṇava.
Hanumān was ordered to bring some medicine from some mountain. And he was a monkey, he was animal, he did not know how to pick up it—"Take the whole mountain. Execute the order. And then Rāmacandra and Lakṣmana, They'll find out what is that medicine." So this is Vaiṣṇava. In one's own capacity he should give the best service to the Lord.

All Perfections Come From The Holy Name
The Lord and His name are the same. This will be understood clearly when the coverings in your heart are removed. By chanting without offenses you will personally realize that all perfections come from the holy name.
From Srila Prabhupadera Patravali Vol. I, pp. 4-5

"I offer my respectful obeisances unto Lord Nṛsiṁha-deva, the source of all power. O my Lord who possess nails and teeth just like thunderbolts, kindly vanquish our demonlike desires for fruitive activity in this material world. Please appear in our hearts and drive away our ignorance so that by Your mercy we may become fearless in the struggle for existence in this material world."
Srimad Bhagavatam 5.18.8

कभी-कभी असुरगण भक्त को यह घोषित करते हैं कि वे ईश्वर के अस्तित्व को इसलिए नहीं मानते; क्योंकि वे उन्हें देख नहीं सकते। किन्तु असुर जो कुछ नहीं जानता उसका वर्णन स्वयं श्रीभगवान् ने श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता (७.२५) में किया है—नाहं प्रकाशः सर्वस्य योगमायासमावृतः—“मैं कभी अल्पज्ञ तथा अज्ञानी के समक्ष प्रकट नहीं होता। उनके लिए मैं योगमाया से आवृत रहा करता हूँ।" श्रीभगवान् केवल भक्तों द्वारा देखे जाने हेतु अनावृत रहते हैं, परन्तु अभक्त उन्हें नहीं देख सकते।
