Approaching Kṛṣṇa With Love
“This is the formula—we should not try to satisfy our senses separately but should try to satisfy Kṛṣṇa’s senses. Then naturally we will become satisfied. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person is always trying to give satisfaction to Kṛṣṇa. . . .”
When Kṛṣṇa was on this earth, all the residents of Vṛndāvana loved Him. Indeed, they knew nothing but Kṛṣṇa.
