A
- All men were advised to follow the path of Sri Krsna, leaving aside all mundane - isms. Offenders misunderstood this instruction, however, because of their poor fund of knowledge
- All the inhabitants of Vrndavana, being disturbed, began to search out Krsna by following the impression of His footprints on the ground, and thus they moved hastily toward the bank of the Yamuna
- Although He has no obligatory duty, still He does everything so that others may follow. That is the way of factual teaching; one must act properly himself and teach the same to others, otherwise no one will accept one's blind teaching
- Although the gopis were seemingly anguished by the Lord's (Krsna's) teasing behavior, when Krsna would leave them they could not tolerate the separation and used to follow Him with their eyes and minds
- As long as we are in the material world, our duty is to follow the orders of the Lord, and if by the grace of the Lord we are liberated from the clutches of the material world, then in our liberated stage also we can render transcendental loving service
- As soon as you surrender to Krsna immediately you are mukta. Immediately, instantly. It is in your hand. You follow Krsna's instruction, do the needful, you are mukta. Chant Hare Krsna

- Because of following Krsna very swiftly, her (Yasoda's) hair became loose, and the flowers in her hair were falling after her. Yet she did not fail to capture her son Krsna - SB 10.9.10
- But mother Yasoda, thinking that same Personality of Godhead, Krsna (whom the yogis fail to reach with great austerities and penances), to be her son, began following Krsna to catch Him - SB 10.9.9
- By hearing the words of Lord Krsna and following them carefully, we will attain not only peace in the world, but the supreme peace - param santim
- By Krsna's grace if we actually become dharmic, follow Krsna, the milk supply will be so profuse that everyone, even the animals, can take the butter and yogurt. That is wanted. That is civilization
- By the parampara system, one who has got the knowledge, he's a spiritual master, and the proof is - how one is spiritual master - that means parampara, as Krsna says. He does not change the words of Krsna, but he follows the words of Krsna
D
- Decorating the entire city very festively, the citizens of Dvaraka held a great celebration, and when Lord Krsna passed through the city, all the members of the Vrsni dynasty and the heroes of the Yadu dynasty followed Him with great respect
- Devotee means who follows Krsna. So Krsna is giving the real truth. If you take, then you are devotee. If you don't take, you are nondevotee
- Don't follow these naradhamas. Be faithful. Try to understand, those who are actually followers of God. Evam parampara-praptam imam rajarsayo viduh. So you take to this line of disciplic succession from Krsna
E
F
- First of all, you remain here (in New Mayapura) for some time. Be trained up. Because every one of us, we have followed the silly jackals. Now we have to follow Krsna
- Follow the Deity or the spiritual master and (16) visit different places of pilgrimage or go see the Deity in the temple
- Following Krsna's instructions is possible when one is a devotee, for Krsna instructs that one should become a devotee. Man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru: "Always think of Me and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your homage unto Me"
- Following Sri Krsna's orders, the goddess Durga creates, maintains and annihilates. Krsna also confirms this statement in BG (9.10). "This material nature is working under My direction, O son of Kunti, and it is producing all moving and unmoving beings."
- For example, Krsna's ideal life as a householder can be followed, but if one wants to imitate Krsna by expanding into many forms, that is not possible
- For, if I did not engage in work, O Partha, certainly all men would follow My path. BG 3.23 - 1972
- Formerly, at the end of Dvapara-yuga, all the cowherd men of Vrndavana had arranged to worship King Indra, but they gave this worship up, following the advice of Krsna
- From practical experience it is found that any woman who follows My (Krsna's) way or becomes attracted to Me is ultimately left to cry for the rest of her life
- From the previous chapter it is clear that no one can act the way Lord Krsna does. We should clearly note this fact: the activities of the Lord should be followed, but they cannot be imitated

- His chest had brushed against their breasts, crushing His flower garland and coloring it with red kunkuma powder. Attracted by the fragrance of that garland, humming bumblebees followed Krsna like celestial beings of Gandharvaloka
I

- If we follow the instruction of acarya, or spiritual master, then we are directly following the orders of Krsna, and thus I become a bhagavad-duta. No more I am the duta or the follower of the dictation of my senses
- If you adulterate nonsensically like a rascal, then you cannot become a spiritual master. If you simply follow what Krsna has spoken, then you become spiritual master. Very simple thing. It doesn't require education
- If you agree to follow the leadership of Krsna, proportionately as you follow, so you become perfect. If you follow one percent, then you become one percent perfect. If you follow twenty-five percent, then you become twenty-five percent perfect
- If you become submissive, if you develop the spiritual attitude of following Krsna, and you are as a servant or a friend, as a parent or as a lover - if you begin to give service to the Supreme Lord then you can begin to know Him
- If you follow Krsna's instruction, you'll always be happy. And if you create your own plans, then you'll be unhappy. This is the whole instruction

- If you want to be Krsna conscious, then you have to find out persons who are Krsna conscious. So firm conviction, then association. After association, the next stage is regulated life for following the KC movement. This is called initiation
- If you want to know Krsna, then Krsna gives the formula. Or if you want to know God, then you follow God's formula. What is that? Mayy asakta-manah partha yogam yunjan mad-asrayah
