The Supreme Personality of Godhead is known as bhāva-grāhī janārdana because He takes only the essence of a devotee’s attitude. If a devotee sincerely surrenders, the Lord, as the Supersoul in everyone’s heart, immediately understands this. Thus even though, externally, a devotee may not render full service, if he is internally sincere and serious the Lord welcomes his service nonetheless. Thus the Lord is known as bhāva-grāhī janārdana because He takes the essence of one’s devotional mentality.

“In this Age of Kali, the holy name of the Lord, the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, is the incarnation of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Simply by chanting the holy name, one associates with the Lord directly. Anyone who does this is certainly delivered.

So, the best way to avail ourselves of The Holy Name, of the avatar of The Holy Name is by chanting sincerely. It helps to think of our japa as a relationship—not a routine or a process, but a loving relationship that we're coming back in contact with, trying to reestablish with Krishna. If we chant with heart, then that focus is easier. Chanting with heart, like we've heard sometimes when the kirtaneers are chanting, they say with heart. It should be like that with our Japa as well. I often think while I'm chanting my Japa that this is the most valuable time of my day. That sets the mood of the day; this is where I can make the most spiritual advancement. This is where I should establish my connection with Krishna and give all of my energy, all of my concentration that I can, at that time. And every day is starting over. Every day is starting over. If we didn't chant the most attentive rounds yesterday, we do our best to do it today. Every day, we pick ourselves up and start anew. ( Excerpt from the talk )

I was in the middle of writing a book. I’ve never written a book before, and I kept thinking, "How am I going to get to the end of this?" It's a huge project, and I thought of myself as being in the middle of an ocean. All I could think was to keep swimming. Just don't stop. You can't look up and say, "Oh, I'm so far away; it will never happen." You just stay right where you are now and swim. In anartha-nivṛtti, we have to do that. There are a couple of encouraging analogies: one is that when you're going to the Himalayan and you want to reach the peak, approaching the mountain range feels daunting. Anybody who’s lived around mountains—I’ve lived around mountains because I’m from Northern California—we used to go to the mountains a lot, and there are the foothills before you get to the mountain, the really steep peaks. When you're going in the foothills, there’s a lot of up and down, but as you're doing the ups and downs, you’re still gradually going up in elevation. It’s like, "Hey, we're going down now," bu

..I remember something I read in a book, which you’ve probably heard me mention many times, called The Art of the Start by Guy Kawasaki, one of the people who helped start Apple. He talked about the concept of “frame or be framed.” You have to decide what the purpose of your life is and how you want it to go so you can frame it. I looked up the word “frame.” It comes from Middle English and has to do with preparing the timber for a house. It’s still used in that way because you frame up a house before you build the rest of it. It’s really important to develop our frame and to remember that if we don’t frame who we are and what’s most important to us in life, somebody else will frame it for us. They might say, “No, no, you have to do this.” It’s like, “Why do I have to do that?” “Because I said so.” Well, you get to say so as a human. I’m writing this little guide for people who are trying to get to 16 rounds and maintain them. I’m considering some of the main framing points that have to be in place in order t

One can attain to the highest perfection of life simply by attentive hearing of the transcendental pastimes of the Lord from the right sources, as Śrī Nārada heard them from the pure devotees (bhakti-vedāntas) in his previous life. This process of hearing in the association of the devotees is especially recommended in this age of quarrel (Kali).
