On Saturday, May 31st, the ISKCON North America Regional Governing Body (NA-RGB) will be hosting an online webinar exploring how Srila Prabhupada powerfully applied the principle of “spiritual competition” to energize our mission to spread Krishna consciousness worldwide.
The online sanga will be led by Hridayananda Dasa Goswami, a pioneer in Srila Prabhupada’s global mission, and one of the first Westerners to accept sannyasa in ISKCON. He played a leading role in expanding Krishna consciousness across Latin America. Personally entrusted by Srila Prabhupada to head major zones and direct the BBT’s Spanish and Portuguese divisions, he helped ignite regional spiritual competition and outreach.
Srila Prabhupada said, “There may be rivalries and apparent competitions between servants in performing service, but in the Vaikuntha planets, the service of another servant is appreciated, not condemned. This is Vaikuntha competition” (Srila Prabhupada, Srimad Bhagavatam 7.5.12). This transcendental competition – appreciating others while increasing our own service – helped power ISKCON’s explosive early growth. How can we now revive this momentum?
