The medicine to stop death is to chant Hare Krishna. Golden moon Gaura
Chander has come, tells all the jivas to wake up wake up and chant
Hare Krishna. How long you will sleep on the lap of the witch called
maya. Caitanya Mahaprabhu said I came just to pick you up. Except
myself who is your friend. I brought you the medicine for treating
maya which destroys maya. Completely wipes out maya. It's called Hare
Krishna Maha Mantra. Take it Take it very submissively. Bhakti Vinod
Thakur says that he falls at the feet of Caitanya Mahaprabhu.He is
himself begging for the mercy, give me the holy name.

Anyway the conclusion is chant Hare Krishna. Dont be afraid of
anything. Even if you are afraid chant Hare Krishna. Actually there is
one thing the devotee should fear - maya. Dont think I have conquered
over maya. Now I am free from maya. As soon as someone thinks like
that means that they are already captured by maya. Always chant Hare
Krishna.

Whether we are in a materially happy situation or materially
distressful situation chant Hare Krishna. If you get lots of money
chant Hare Krishna. If you dont have any money chant Hare Krishna. If
you have more money and you lose it then what should you do - chant
Hare Krishna. If you are very healthy jump up and down in kirtan
chanting Hare Krishna. If you are not healthy, well you can atleast
raise
your hands and chant Hare Krishna shaking your fingers. There is no loss you
won't lose anything. Full gain.

All these advertisers advertise if you invest in this policy you gain
more. They are all advertising that you get benefit,but they are
simply taking your money. This is the only guaranteed program where no
one will cheat you and you will get full benefit. Sometimes people
complain even I came to ISKCON someone mistreated me. May be. Anyway
chant Hare Krishna. Someone may have mistreated you, after all its
Kali Yuga and we are all products of Kali Yuga.

We can't expect everyone chanting Hare Krishna to change over night
from being a raakshasah to being a pure devotee. But you have the
opportunity to chant Hare Krishna. Wherever you go whatever you do in
this world someone is going to mistreat you. But not everyone is going
to ask you to chant Hare Krishna. So what is the conclusion of this
lecture - chant Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna
Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare and distribute Srila
Prabhupadas books and read Srila Prabhupadas books and follow what is in
Srila Prabhupadas books.

Hare Krishna.
