Krishna Consciousness Quotes

You must worship the Self in Krishna, not Krishna as Krishna.

Swami Vivekananda

In the ancient times, when ignorance was the default mode of thinking, Krishna may have proven to be a glorious figure to be adored and relied on in times of distress, but in the modern world of conscientious humans, no Krishna is higher than the Human Self.

Mark you, no Krishna can clear your eyes and make you look with a broader vision upon life in your march upward and onward, until the Self within you morphs into Krishna – until the Self morphs into Buddha – until the Self turns into Christ.

If by studying Bhagavad-gītā one decides to surrender to Kṛṣṇa, he is immediately freed from all sinful reactions.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda

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 Prabhupāda

In a society of thinking humanity, it should always be, humans first, and then Gods, Krishna or otherwise.
