Go Out and Preach

2514650865?profile=original


A Krishna conscious person does not sit down idly. He knows that Krishna consciousness is such an important philosophy that it should be distributed. Therefore the members of this Krishna consciousness society are not just sitting in the temple but are going out on sankirtanaparties, preaching and distributing this supreme philosophy. That isthe mission of Shri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His disciples. Otheryogis may be satisfied with their own elevation and sit in secludedplaces practicing

Devotee: The question was when we take initiation from you, we understand that we become your eternal servitors.


Srila Prabhupada: Yes, but if you remain eternally in the instruction. If you fall from the instruction, how can you remain eternal? You have to stay on the platform, then eternally you are safe. If you fall down fromthe platform, then it is your fault. Just like we all in Vaikuntha.Now, we wanted to enjoy this material world, and we fell down, just likeJaya and Vijaya. Now we are tryi

In the Fire of Krishna Consciousness

2514650898?profile=original


So we have to keep ourself always in the fire of Krishna consciousness; then everything is all right [laughs]. Otherwise, it will become dull and it will be simply idol worship. That’s all. That is the difference between idol worship and Deity worship. If there is no life, then it is idol worship, hedonism. And when there is life, feeling, "Where is Krishna? Here is Krishna. Oh, I have to serve Krishna, I have to dress Him, I have to serve Radharani, She is here. Oh, I must do it very nicely. An

This is a question that is asked sometimes about the morality of Krsna – is Krsna immoral? Someone asked a question – “Do we have to give up our conception of mundane morality in order to worship Krsna in Braj?”

No, we answer. You don’t have to give up worldly morality, but we mustunderstand that Krsna is not immoral. He is the highest, most moralPerson. That is why we see throughout the vedic literature that the mostrespected and exalted persons in the universe are praying to thebraja-gopis.

This is Tattva Darshan, February 2009. Srila Prabhupada gives a very nice explanation about simple living and high thinking. This is a room conversation in Bhubaneshwar, 31st January 1977, about 32 years ago.

Srila Prabhupada said, our aim should be a simplified life. We should not be attracted by the modern city life. We should save time and utilize our free time for advancing in Krsna consciousness. That is perfect life.


Just like Vrndavan, Vrndavan life means agriculture, cowherd boys, uneducat
