K
- Kamsa had already sent many demons to attempt to kill this child (Krsna), but none of them had survived

- No living entity other than the supreme being, the Absolute Personality of Godhead is either abhijna or svarat - that is, none of them are either fully cognizant or fully independent

- None of the Muslims came from outside; social customs somehow or other forced Hindus to become Muslims, with no chance of returning to Hindu society

- None of them (karmis, jnanis, yogis) are situated in a transcendental position. Only devotees who belong to none of the groups, are transcendental
- None of them (Krsna's ornaments) are made of material ingredients; otherwise there would be no chance of their decorating the body of the Lord. As such, in the paravyoma, spiritual varieties are also distinguished from the material variegatedness
- None of them (Krsna's sons) were inferior in their qualities to their divine father, Lord Krsna
- None of them (literary men) have brought peace and tranquillity on the earth. This is due to a spiritual vacuum in those literatures
- None of them approached him. However, because Lord Hari is the Supersoul, Purusottama, the Personality of Godhead, He appeared before Gajendra
- None of them are associating with me more than one year, and just see their character. It is so practical. You cannot induce them even to smoke
- None of them is independent. Even though such men or leaders (Gandhi, Alexander, Nehru) rebel so as not to recognize the supremacy of the Lord, they are put under still more rigorous laws of the material world by different miseries
- None of them were advised by Guru Maharaja to become acarya. His idea was "Let them manage; then whoever will be actual qualified for becoming acarya, they will elect. Why I should enforce upon them?" That was his plan

- None of these so-called capitalists or, what is called, Communists, they do not know where is the real substance is. Superficially they are fighting on the platform of fiber covering. That's all

- None should consider Vasudeva Datta a mundane philanthropist or welfare worker. Nor was he interested in merging into Brahman or in gaining material honor or reputation. He was far, far above philanthropists, philosophers and fruitive actors

- Since one cannot visually experience the presence of the Supersoul, He appears before us as a liberated devotee. Such a spiritual master is none other than Krsna Himself
- Since You (Krsna) are the Supreme Brahman, everything is existing within You, and since all the activities of material nature are controlled by Your Lordship, none of these activities affect You

- Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura suggests that both Draupadi and Subhadra, although her name is not mentioned herein (SB 1.15.50), got the same result. None of them had to quit the body

- The pastimes of the Lord there (in Vrndavana-dhama) are also spiritual. None are material
- The people of the world are very much harassed by so-called religious-principled svamis, yogis, karmis and jnanis, but none of these can show the right way to become elevated to the spiritual platform
- The people of the world would benefit greatly if such notes (recording Caitanya Mahaprabhu's activities) were available. It is a most unfortunate situation for human society that none of these notebooks is still extant
- The perfect knowledge propounded in the revealed scriptures is confirmed by the great acaryas, who have left ample commentations upon them; none of these acaryas has disbelieved in the sastras
- The pradhana, the chief cause of all causes in the impersonal vision, is none other than the Supreme Lord, whom one can see face to face in the internal potency. He takes the material all-pervasive form by His inconceivable power
- The Puranas and the Mahabharata are also (like Srimad-Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita) similarly made by Vyasadeva for the different types of men in the modes of material nature. But none of them are independent of the Vedic principles
- The same queen continued, "Can't He (Krsna) be happy with any other wife? Does it mean that the goddess of fortune has the ocean of love for Him and none of us can compare to her?"
- The son of Saci is none other than the son of mother Yasoda and Nanda Maharaja, and Nityananda Prabhu is the same Balarama
- The subtle mind should be engaged in hearing the transcendental pastimes of the Lord, thinking about them, chanting His name, etc. All such activities are transcendental. None of the gross or subtle senses should otherwise be engaged
- The three of them (Brahma, Siva, Visnu) are understood to be incarnations of the Supreme Lord in charge of the three different material modes of nature, but none of them is independent of the Supreme Personality of Godhead

- The young brahmana replied, "My dear sir, even if You appear there as a four-handed Visnu Deity, still, none of those people will believe in Your words"
- There are innumerable universes and also innumerable planets in each of them. But none of them is immune to the chief miseries of material existence, namely the pangs of birth, the pangs of death, the pangs of old age and the pangs of disease
- There are many books of stories and histories in the world, but except for the histories or narrations on the topics of the Personality of Godhead, none are capable of diminishing the burden of material pangs
- There are many dangerous things - thunderbolts, fire, Yamaraja's punishment, the punishment of Lord Siva's trident, and so forth - but none is considered as serious as offending a brahmana like Jada Bharata
- There are many indirect methods for deliverance from the clutches of material existence, but none of them is as easy and auspicious as bhakti-yoga
- There are many Mayavadis and those overly addicted to material sense enjoyment. None of these can be compared to a person who is purely engaged in preaching Krsna consciousness
- There are many other forms of the Lord, but none of them belong to the material qualities. Such forms are nondifferent from the Visnu form, and Visnu is the enjoyer of all sacrifices
- There are many paths and beautiful spots created by man on this planet earth, but none of them can surpass those of Kailasa
- There are other Vedanta commentaries, written by Vaisnava acaryas, none of whom follow Sri Sankaracarya or accept the imaginative commentary of his school. Their commentaries are based on the philosophy of duality
- There are two worlds - the spiritual and the material. The material world is false like a mirage in the desert. In the desert, animals think they see water, but actually there is none
- There are various processes for self-realization, such as karma, jnana and yoga, but none of them is equal to the process of devotional service
- There have been many yoga systems popularized in the Western World, especially in this century, but none of them have actually taught the perfection of yoga
- There is a difference in the qualities of the transcendental devotees of the Lord, but none of them who have ever contacted the Lord by direct communion or otherwise can leave Him for a moment. That is the attitude of the pure devotee
- There is none among them (the demigods) who is not attracted by the spell of maya in the form of woman
- There is none who can excel Him (Krsna) in any matter of enjoyment, and certainly there is no one greater than Him. No one is equal to or greater than Him. It is the duty of everyone, whoever and wherever one may be, to surrender completely unto Him
- There was none so attentive as Maharaja Pariksit in the matter of hearing Srimad-Bhagavatam, and there was none so qualified as Sukadeva Gosvami to recite the text of Srimad-Bhagavatam
- There were many kings like Lord Ramacandra, the King of Ayodhya, but none of them are mentioned as God in the revealed scriptures
- There were many previous incarnations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but none were so generous, kind and magnanimous as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, for He distributed the most confidential aspect of devotional service
- There were six great Gosvamis of Vrndavana - Srila Rupa, Sanatana, Bhatta Raghunatha, Sri Jiva, Gopala Bhatta and Dasa Raghunatha - and none of them inherited the title of gosvami
- Therefore none of you should be aggrieved for the loss of the body - whether your own or those of others. Only in ignorance does one make bodily distinctions, thinking "Who am I? Who are the others? What is mine? What is for others?"
- These (many friends) people show us the paths of work, knowledge, meditation, mysticism, and various other ways also, but unfortunately none of them is able to give us that happiness for which we are ever hankering
- They (the women who went to church & prayed to God to send their husbands, sons and brothers back safely, but none of them came back from Germany war) did not consider that God did not advocate the war and its problems. They went to Him for a Solution

- This is not my business to make intimate relation with woman and get money. I could do. There was chance. When attempt was failed, the man who introduced that woman to me, he one day said, "I have seen many swamis, but none like you"
- This proves that while there are undoubtedly innumerable demigods, none of them is independent of Krsna. As stated in the Caitanya-caritamrta, Krsna is the supreme master, and all others are His servants
- Through means of protection on the water, in the air and on land, there is always an endeavor for relief from various kinds of suffering in the material world, but none of them are guaranteed measures for protection
- Through parental care, through remedies for different kinds of disease but none of them are guaranteed measures for protection
- To satisfy their own interests, women deal with men as if the men were most dear to them, but no one is actually dear to them
U
- Uddhava said, "If there is anyone who can conquer this king (Jarasandha), he is none other than Bhimasena because he also possesses the strength of ten thousand elephants"
- Unfortunately at present all of India has been victimized by these non-Vedic principles (illicit sex, intoxication, meat-eating and gambling), which are sometimes even supported by the government
- Unfortunately, none of us is the body. We are spirit soul. We are changing different bodies, as you can see in our presence there are so many living entities, and this body can be changed to any one of them
- Until one has love for Lord Vasudeva, who is none other than Myself, he is certainly not delivered from having to accept a material body again and again
- Upon hearing the sound, the other leaders of the demons were afraid. None of them could find the origin of that sound in the assembly
- Upon seeing transcendental Vaisnavism in Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, everyone could understand that Lord Caitanya was none other than Krsna, the son of Nanda Maharaja
V
- Vasudeva addressed Nanda, "My dear brother, you were old and very anxious to beget a son, and yet you had none. Now by the grace of the Lord you are fortunate to have a very nice son. I think that this incident is very auspicious for you"
- Visnu is the supreme enjoyer of everything that be, and thus none of us, however great we may be, can be the enjoyer of the universe and its paraphernalia
- Visnu, and none else, is called mukti-pada, or the Personality of Godhead who can bestow upon us mukti, liberation
W
- We (the GBC) must fix up what devotees we have got in the knowledge of Krishna Consciousness, then we will succeed. What good are many, many devotees if none of them are knowledgeable?
- We are not perfect, none of us, but if you perfectly follow the orders of the perfect, then you are perfect. You should not think that "I have become perfect."
- We are traveling all over the world, but there is no university, no institution, no school, no college where the education of spiritual nature is imparted. There is none
- We are very attached to material enjoyment, but when we transfer that same attachment to Krsna, we traverse the path of liberation. One has to practice this yoga system and none other
- We do not have to be very learned or very scholarly, nor do we have to present our prayers in nicely selected words that are poetical, rhetorical or metaphorical. None of this is required, although if it is there it is very nice
- We won't do anything. We talk much of this, that, this, that. Do anything, but do it perfectly. "Jack of all trade, master of none." That is not good. Be master of something
- What about the soul? Is there any science of the soul? The materialists have none. Material science has advanced to the study of the ether, or the mind and intelligence, but there is no advancement beyond that
- What is actually happiness, and what is actually distress? Because the waves flow constantly, none of them has an eternal effect
- When death will come, none of you will be able to give me protection. Either my good state or good family or good bank balance or good this, that. No. That's all. Finished
- When everyone heard Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's explanation of the atmarama-sloka, everyone was astonished and struck with wonder. They concluded that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was none other than Lord Krsna Himself
- When everything was finished in the Battle of Kuruksetra - no Kaurava, none of the sons or grandsons of Dhrtarastra was living, neither of the Pandavas - still, Gandhari was faithfully serving her husband
- When Sati, with her followers, reached the arena, because all the people assembled were afraid of Daksa, none of them received her well
- When the same man (who is rich) was as dry as fallow land and had none of these opulences (motorcars with dazzling polish, and a radio set receiving and broadcasting colorful news and melodious songs), he was plain in behavior
- When the space pilot returned from his travel (after forty thousand years), none of his friends would be present to receive him back as the greatest astronaut, as has become fashionable for modern bewildered scientific men
- Whether one accepts the spiritual sky as being without variety or void, there is none of the spiritual bliss which is enjoyed in the spiritual planets, the Vaikunthas or Krsnaloka
- Whether products of the external internal or marginal potencies of God are simply displays of the same effulgence of God just as light heat & smoke are displays of fire. None of them are separate from the fire all of them combine together to be fire
- Without our having eyes, the sunlight is useless, and without sunlight the eyes are useless. Thus they are interdependent, and none of them is independent. Therefore the natural question arises concerning who made them interdependent
Y
- Yogis may undergo severe austerities and penances for many births by practicing yama, niyama, asana and pranayama, none of which are easily performed - SB 10.12.12
- You are discovering very nice medicine. The drug shop is full with various types of up-to-date medicine, but none of the medicine is sufficient to make a man not to die. That is not possible
- You mentioned in your letter that you had read many other Bhagavad-gitas before you read mine and that none of them revealed as much to you as Bhagavad-gita As It Is. The reason is because we do not change the actual meaning of the gita at all
