GITA NAGARI - hospital for the heart

"...if any treatment has to be done for the diseases of the human being, it has to be done from the very inception, namely from the internal potency. Such treatment only will make every living being hale and hearty. as such, GITA NAGARI HAS TO MINISTER THE TREATMENT OF DISEASED PERSONS, BOTH EXTERNALLY AND INTERNALLY... there is practically no hospital for the treatment of the internal potency, and Gita Nagari must be very much alive to this point of view. For such internal treatment of the human being, bhagavad-gita will always help us."

from "conception of Gita Nagari" by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

…GN has become a place of pilgrimage for me, a source for spiritual restauration. Coming out from the hard surfaced city,…where devotion to God hangs in as a tenuous and frail anomaly, I enter a complete community where the devotional spirit pervades and sustains every part of it. This, a peaceful rural village is the natural setting for Krishna Consciousness.
…Here I see people living as people are meant to live. GN is the homeland of the soul. [“A Teacher for Krishna’s Children” p.21]

GLIMPSES OF GN by His Grace Ravindra Svarupa Prabhu (Gita Nagari GBC)
The material world is full of embarrassing and irritating situations. Unless one is inclined to be very much forgiving, he will be infected by a vindictive mentality, which spoils ones spiritual consciousness.

SP quoted in a lecture by HH.Radhanath Swami 2002

We must acept that whatever Krsna does is perfect.
Krsna doesn't make mistakes.
It's easy to be motivated when everything is going
according to plan. The real challenge is when we have
tests, setbacks, and confusion.
