Hare Krishna! Excerpts from the teachings of Srila Prabhupada and other Gaudiya Vaishnav Acharyas.
*Formula For World Peace!*
So all over the world. It is not only in India -- all over the world. There cannot be peace unless you reform the whole social structure, and that can be done only by this movement, Krsna consciousness. Only by this movement. That's a fact, and it is being done.
_- From Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 6.1.56–62 – January 3, 1971, Surat_
Cooking for Krishna
It is the duty of the human being to accept prasādam. Prasādam means foodstuff which is offered to Kṛṣṇa first. This is civilization. If you say, "Why should I offer?" that is uncivilized. It is gratefulness. If you offer to Kṛṣṇa, then you are conscious that "These foodstuff, these grains, these fruits, these flowers, this milk, it is given by Kṛṣṇa. I cannot produce it. In my factory I cannot produce all these things." Anything one uses, nobody can produce; it is given by Kṛṣṇa. Eko bahūnāṁ yo vidadhāti kāmān [Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13]. This kāmān. We are desiring and Kṛṣṇa is supplying. Without His supply you cannot get it

Powerful Vibrations!
The transcendental vibration from the mouth of a pure devotee is so powerful that it can revive the living entity's memory of his eternal relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
A pure devotee always engages in the service of the Lord, taking shelter of His lotus feet, and therefore he has a direct connection with the saffron mercy-particles that are strewn over the lotus feet of the Lord. Although when a pure devotee speaks, the articulation of his voice may resemble the sound of this material sky, the voice is spiritually very powerful because it touches the particles of saffron dust on the lotus feet of the Lord. As soon as a sleeping living entity hears the powerful voice emanating from the mouth of a pure devotee, he immediately remembers his eternal relationship with the Lord, although up until that moment he had forgotten everything.
- From Srila Prabhupada's purport to SB 4.20.25
