- A devotee does not need to make separate investigations to understand the nature of Brahman. Bhagavad-gita also confirms this. Brahma-bhuyaya kalpate: (BG 14.26) a devotee at once becomes a self-realized soul in the Absolute Truth
- A devotee is attracted by Krsna, whereas a nondevotee, being contaminated by the dirt of material enjoyment, is not. This is confirmed by the Lord in Bhagavad-gita
- A devotee is interested in the spiritual world, not its shadow. Since he has realization of the supreme truth, a devotee is not interested in this temporary shadow of truth. This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita (param drstva nivartate (BG 2.59)
- A person who always concentrates on the transcendental form of Krsna within his heart can very easily strike the whole world with wonder at his activities. This is the perfection of yoga performance, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita
- A Vedic injunction states, the Vedas are meant for understanding Narayana, the Supreme Lord. Similarly, the Bhagavad-gita also confirms, vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyah: (BG 15.15) by all the Vedas, Krsna is to be known
- Actually the whole world is full of Krsna's singing, but it is appreciated in different ways by different kinds of living entities. This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita: ye yatha mam prapadyante tams tathaiva bhajamy aham (BG 4.11)
- Actually, one who preaches the message of the Gita is very dear to Krsna, as is confirmed in the Gita itself. Such a preacher is factually a brahmana and thus by feeding him one feeds the Supreme Lord directly
- Actually, the transcendental qualities are manifested only to the devotees. As confirmed in Bhagavad-gita, simply by discharging devotional service one can understand the transcendental position of the Supreme Lord
- After wandering through many varieties of life on many planetary systems, when one comes to the real understanding of the Absolute Truth by the grace of a devotee, one surrenders to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita

- Akrura thought, "As confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita, these activities of Krsna - His protecting the devotees and killing the demons, as confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita - are always good for men to hear and narrate"
- All mantras, of course, are meant for this life and the next life, as Krsna Himself confirms in Bhagavad-gita
- All of them (the sacrifices mentioned in BG 4.25-30) are recommended for ultimately bringing about liberation from the body. This is confirmed by the Lord herewith (BG 4.32) from His own mouth. BG 1972 purports
- All such persons who aspire after gaining some or all of the material objects of enjoyment, or the gross materialistic persons, are on the whole less intelligent, as confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita
- All the Vedic hymns are chanted to please Lord Krsna. This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita
- Always think of Me (Krsna) and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you (Arjuna) this because you are My very dear friend - confirmed in Bhagavad-gita - 18.65
- Another significant feature in this verse is that only the Lord, and no one else, is to be served. That is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita - 18.66 mam ekam saranam vraja
- Anyone who mistakes Him (The Lord) for an ordinary human being is certainly not very intelligent, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.11): avajananti mam mudha manusim tanum asritam
- Anyone who wants to get rid of the material entanglement must surrender unto Him (God). This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gita
- Arjuna confirmed that Krsna is the maintainer and the object of worship for the devotees and the destroyer of the undesirables. His actions are equally good for all. BG 1972 purports
- Arjuna herein (BG 10.14) confirms that persons of faithless and demonic nature cannot understand Krsna. He is not even known by the demigods, so what to speak of the so-called scholars of this modern world? BG 1972 purports

- As confirmed by Krsna in Bhagavad-gita (9.30), bhajate mam ananya-bhak sadhur eva sa mantavyah: anyone fully attached to Krsna is a sadhu

- As confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 2.13): dehino 'smin yatha dehe. Everyone is encased within the body. Since the body is never identical with the soul, the bodily activities are simply illusory
- As confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 2.40), svalpam apy asya dharmasya trayate mahato bhayat: "Even a little advancement on this path (of devotional service to God) can protect one from the most dangerous type of fear"

- As confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (mamaivamso jiva-loke jiva-bhutah sanatanah (BG 15.7)). The small living entities are eternally part and parcel, and therefore it is not possible for them to be quantitatively as great as the Supersoul
- As confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa-caracaram (BG 9.10)), maya is not the ultimate authority for the creation of this material world. Maya acts on behalf of Krsna

- As confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita as well as in the Bhagavatam, Lord Caitanya's theory of acintya-bhedabheda-tattva is the perfect philosophy of the Absolute Truth
- As confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita, in the brahma-bhuta stage of life one becomes free from hankering and lamentation. Therefore the conclusion is that the inhabitants of the Vaikuntha planets are all brahma-bhuta living entities
- As confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita, the cause of the impersonal Brahman is Lord Krsna. This Brahman effulgence is likened to the sunshine, which emanates from the sun globe. Therefore, impersonal Brahman is not the ultimate cause
- As confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita, the worshiper of the demigods goes to the planets of the demigods (yanti deva-vrata devan (BG 9.25)); so Maharaja Sibi has become an associate of the great Vaisnava authority Yamaraja on that particular planet
- As confirmed in the Gita, the fragmental portions of the Supreme exist eternally (sanatana) and are called ksara; that is, they have a tendency to fall down into material nature. BG 1972 purports
- As explained in the Second Chapter, the living entity is eternal. There is no specific date at which the jiva was born. Nor can anyone trace out the history of jivatma's manifestation from God. Therefore it is beginningless. BG 1972 purports
- As expressed here (in SB 9.19.19) by the words brahmany adhyaya, one should concentrate one's mind upon the Supreme Lord, Parabrahman. This Parabrahman is Krsna, as confirmed by Arjuna in Bhagavad-gita - param brahma param dhama pavitram paramam bhavan

- As it is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita, after many, many births the knowledge comes to the conditioned soul that Vasudeva is great, He is master, and He is Lord
- As it is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita, only one who surrenders unto Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, can be liberated from the clutches of maya
- As it is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita, full knowledge means knowing Krsna to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- As it is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita. Yad gatva na nivartante: (BG 15.6) upon going, one never comes back. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti: (BG 4.9) after giving up this body, he never comes back again to accept a material body
- As it is stated in the Eleventh Chapter (of BG), only by devotional service can one understand (Krsna). The same is confirmed here (in BG 18.55); one can understand the SP of Godhead by devotional service and enter into His kingdom. BG 1972 purports
- As Krsna confirms in Bhagavad-gita (BG 6.47): "Of all yogis, he who abides in Me with great faith, worshiping Me in transcendental loving service, is most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all"
- As Krsna confirms in Bhagavad-gita, sambhavamy atma-mayaya: (BG 4.6) I appear at My will, by My internal potential power
- As long as one is entangled in sense enjoyment, or material enjoyment, it is not possible to understand the Absolute Truth. This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gita - BG 18.54
- As one Manu follows another, the cult of Krsna consciousness is being imparted, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita
- As soon as one always thinks of Krsna, he becomes a perfect yogi, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (yoginam api sarvesam mad-gatenantaratmana (BG 6.47)). This antaratma, the mind, is conditioned by material nature
- As soon as there is some discrepancy in the execution of duties, the Lord appears on earth, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 4.7): yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata
- As the Bhagavad-gita (BG 14.26) confirms: One who engages in full devotional service, unfailing in all circumstances, at once transcends the modes of material nature and thus comes to the level of Brahman
- As the Bhagavad-gita (BG 18.65) confirms, one should engage in transcendental worship in order to be fit for being attracted by Krsna, the all-attractive
- As the Bhagavad-gita (BG 4.8) confirms that the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His devotees, saving the righteous and chastising the miscreants (paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam), always curb these nonsensical atheists
- As the Lord Himself confirms in Bhagavad-gita (BG 8.15), one reaches the highest perfection when he attains the fortune of realizing the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- At the ultimate issue, when one is fully absorbed in thought of the Supreme Lord and meditates on Him constantly, that is the highest perfection. Bhagavad-gita confirms that one who is always absorbed in such a way is to be considered the topmost yogi
- Atheists and demons cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, although He is situated within everyone. For them the Lord finally appears in the form of death, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita - mrtyuh sarva-haras caham - BG 10.34
- Atri Muni, by his breathing exercise, concentrated on the Supersoul, or the Lord of the universe. As confirmed in Bhagavad-gita, the Lord of the universe is Vasudeva and, by the direction of Vasudeva, Lord Brahma and Lord Siva work
B
- Banasura's fighting with Krsna and later being saved by the grace of Lord Siva is confirmation of the statement in the Bhagavad-gita that the worshipers of demigods cannot achieve any benediction without its being sanctioned by the Supreme Lord, Krsna
- Because the asuras do not like to engage in the Lord's devotional service, the Lord within gives them the intelligence to forget. Ordinary karmis desire promotion to Pitrloka, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita
- Because the Lord is the primeval cause of all persons and all energies, He is called the cause of all causes, as confirmed in the Brahma-samhita as well as in the Bhagavad-gita
- BG confirms the purpose of Vedic knowledge is to find Krsna. Brahma-samhita says it is very difficult to find Krsna, the S.P. of Godhead, by systematic reading of the Vedic literature. But He is very easily available through the mercy of a pure devotee
- Bhagavad-gita (BG 14.26) also confirms that anyone who engages in unadulterated devotional service to the Lord is at once elevated to the position of pure Brahman
- Bhagavad-gita (BG 7.7) confirms that there is nothing superior to Krsna
- Bhagavad-gita (BG 8.16) confirms: "From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place"
- Bhagavad-gita also confirms that one should concentrate his mind on the Personality of Godhead
- Bhagavad-gita also confirms that when the Lord appears He appears as He is by His internal potency. He is not contaminated by the material energy because He is the Lord of material energy. BG 1972 purports
- Bhagavad-gita confirms that Krsna, by His Brahman feature, is all-pervading (maya tatam idam sarvam (BG 9.4)), but Brahman depends upon Krsna - brahmano hi pratisthaham - BG 14.27
- Bhagavad-gita confirms that purified intelligence arises in the person of a very wise man. Bahunam janmanam ante jnanavan mam prapadyate
- Bhagavad-gita confirms that the laws of nature are stringent because they are conducted by three different modes. But one who surrenders unto the Lord overcomes the stringency of nature easily
- Bhagavad-gita confirms this fact (the living entity forgets his past life, but the Superconsciousness reminds him in various ways): ye yatha mam prapadyante tams tathaiva bhajamy aham, sarvasya caham hrdi sannivisto mattah smrtir jnanam apohanam ca
- Bhagavad-gita confirms this; a man gets his next life's birth according to what he thinks of at the time of death
- Bhakti, bhagavan and bhakta do not belong to the material world. This is confirmed BG (14.26): One who engages in the spiritual activities of unalloyed DS immediately transcends the modes of material nature and is elevated to the spiritual platform
- Bhaktya mam abhijanati yavan yas casmi tattvatah (BG 18.55). No one within this universe can understand Krsna in truth, but if one engages in devotional service one can understand Him perfectly well. This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gita - 7.1
- Brahma said, "As confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita, simply by understanding Your (Krsna's) constitutional position, appearance and disappearance, one can be immediately elevated to the spiritual kingdom after quitting this present body"
- Brahmananda Bharati drew Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya’s attention because he wanted him to judge the argument. He then stated that Brahman, the Supreme Lord, is all-pervading. This is confirmed by Lord Krsna in the Bhagavad-gita - BG 13.3
- By dint of one's personal endeavor one may go nearer to the Lord, but without the Lord's mercy one cannot reach the ultimate point. Such understanding of the Lord is possible only by devotional service, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita - BG 18.55
- By His (Krsna's) controlling power, by His supreme will, this material creation is moving. That is also confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita
- By such an attempt (by hearing about God in all submission and love from a bona fide authority) only can one conquer the illusory energy of the Lord, although for others she is unsurpassable, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita
C
- Confidential knowledge is entrusted, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita only to pure devotees like Uddhava and Arjuna, and one has to learn the mystery through them, and not otherwise
- Confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 14.18): Those situated in the mode of goodness gradually go upward to the higher planets; those in the mode of passion live on the earthly planets; and those in the mode of ignorance go down to the hellish worlds
- Confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 3.27): "The bewildered spirit soul, under the influence of the three modes of material nature, thinks himself the doer of activities, which are in actuality carried out by nature"
- Creation, maintenance and annihilation are all conducted personally by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and this is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa-caracaram) - BG 9.10
D
- Despite this struggle (struggle for existence), however, the living entity does not die. As confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 2.20), the living entity is eternal
- Devotional service is revealed to the pure devotee by the unlimited causeless mercy of the Lord. This is especially spoken of here (in SB 3.27.28-29) by the Lord - mat-prasadena, "by My special grace." This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gita
- Directions for performing different types of yajnas are specifically arranged for the highest realization of the Supreme Lord, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita by the Lord Himself. Ye yatha mam prapadyante tams tathaiva bhajamy aham - BG 4.11
- Discharging one's occupational duty as a means of rendering devotional service unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the ultimate goal of life. Bhagavad-gita confirms this as the process of karma-yoga
E
- Even a fallen Vaisnava is eligible for better results, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita. Svalpam apy asya dharmasya trayate mahato bhayat
- Even according to historical references, Krsna's activities are most uncommon. Krsna has affirmed, "I am God," and He has acted accordingly
- Even elevation into a higher planetary situation, as men are now seeking a place on the moon planet, can also be finished at one stroke. The Bhagavad-gita confirms this. BG 1972 purports
- Even in His (God's) incarnation of purusa-avatara He is the Lord of the creative energy. The creative material energy is working under His direction, as confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita
- Even with the synonyms for Bhagavan, such as Narayana, Visnu and Purusa, the last word is Krsna, as confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita: aham sarvasya prabhavo mattah samam pravartate (BG 10.8), etc
- Everything and anything of the manifested world rests on Him (God), as confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.4), but that does not imply that everything and anything in the vision of a materialist is the Supreme Personality
- Everything is within the control of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.10). Mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa-caracaram: everything in the material nature (prakrti) works under His control
F
- Foolish and demoniac persons go to the hellish planets is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita: Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, are cast by Me (Krsna) into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life
- Fools deride Me (Krsna) when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature and My supreme dominion over all that be. (BG 9.11) That such foolish and demoniac persons go to the hellish planets is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita
- From every position, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita, sva-karmana tam abhyarcya: (BG 18.46) one can serve the Supreme Lord by performing one's prescribed duty. It is not that only the brahmanas can serve the Supreme Lord and not the sudras
G
- God confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.26) - "If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I will accept it." The real ingredient is bhakti (devotion). Pure devotion is uncontaminated by the modes of material nature
- Good intelligence means going back home, back to Godhead. This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 10.10): "To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me (Krsna) with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me."
H
- Harim vina naiva srtim taranti: one cannot escape the cycle of birth and death without becoming a devotee. This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.3). Aprapya mam nivartante mrtyu-samsara-vartmani
- He (God) is aloof from all these interactions of the external and marginal potencies. In the Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.4) it is confirmed that by His potencies alone He is present everywhere and anywhere

- He (Krsna) is not visible to the foolish persons who deride Him. Krsna's body, as confirmed by Brahma-samhita and confirmed by Himself in Bhagavad-gita, is completely spiritual and full of bliss and eternality. BG 1972 purports
- He (Lord Caitanya) took this opportunity (when all the devotees were worshiping Him) to show the devotees that He is the original SP of Godhead, Krsna, who is the source of all other incarnations, as confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita - BG 10.8

- Here (SB 4.12.36) is a description of two aspects of the Vaikuntha planets. The first is that in the Vaikuntha sky there is no need of the sun & moon. This is confirmed by the Upanisads as well as in BG 15.6, na tad bhasayate suryo na sasanko na pavakah
- His (God's) light is distributed in different ways, as the brahmajyoti, as sunlight and as moonlight. Bhagavad-gita confirms that in the spiritual world there is no need of sunlight, moonlight or electricity
