“These are serious vows. Srila Prabhupada said that if he had relaxed the regulative principles he could have made millions of disciples. But he didn’t want cheap disciples. He said that one moon brightens the night more than millions of teeny stars twinkling. He wasn’t after twinkling stars; he was after one moon. And he said that by Krishna’s grace, he had gotten many moons.
“Prabhupada said that chanting is easy—anyone can chant—but the determination to chant, at least sixteen rounds daily, is not so easy.” —Giriraj Swami
