(Krishna instructing Arjuna on the battlefield—click to enlarge)
"Yes, you can pray to Krishna—Krishna may be prayed that I am unwilling to become Krishna Conscious, so you can force me to become so. You put me under certain circumstances so that I may be forced to accept Krishna Consciousness. You can pray like that. It is Krishna's special favor and mercy that He sometimes forces a devotee to surrender fully to Him."
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, November 13, 1968)
