Last night (14 October 2010) as we were enduring a hellish traffic jam to gradually make our way from Pune to Nigadi, where I was scheduled to give a lecture, we passed a movie theatre advertising a movie called "Crook--It's Good to be Bad." I could immediately understand that the world society has been transformed into a hell on earth because we are now thinking that it is good to be bad and bad to be good. We cannot expect a happy life in such a demoniac society. Formerly during the Vedic times, when good was highly celebrated on all levels of the society and bad was denigrated, the atmosphere was very pleasant on this planet. Therefore the Krishna consciousness movement is dedicating to turning the topsy-turvy world back into an upright position by establishing in words and actions the Vedic principle that it is good to be good and bad to be bad.
