Preaching

Pure Devotee

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu could have liberated all the three worlds in an instant, if He had desired to do so. But He wanted His pure devotee, Srila Prabhupada, to do it because He takes pleasure in making His devotees famous.

Planting the Seed

Just go out and throw the seed of the Holy name, and definitely some will take root, germinate and grow.

The Utmost Necessity

The dates for our next ‘Magic of India’ festival tour in Brazil have been confirmed for October 1 – November 7, 2011. Once again, we will flood Brazil with the nectar of the holy names on a grand scale. But it means for the first time in many years I won’t be in Vrindavan for [...]

Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi and Preaching

Prabhupada: [On] Ekadasi, simply you should chant. No other business. Nirjala! Tamal Krsna Maharaja: No preaching work? Should they go out for preaching?

Moscow Tonight

I am looking forward to my upcoming trip to Moscow. It has been over a year since my last visit. Devotees have arranged several big preaching programs and have also published a new book in Russian with my recent lectures about gaining entrance into the transcendental realm of Sri Vrindavan dhama.

On the Road Again

Today I leave for a two week preaching tour of Ukraine and Russia. My duties are clearly outlined in a letter from Srila Prabhupada, as follows: “Now I am seeing more and more that my senior disciples must take an active role in continuing the high standard of purity which has been established in our [...]

Preaching Must Go On

The real result of practicing sadhana is that a vaisnava develops the desire to preach... Brhad mrdanga needs to continue pounding. Preaching should go on. This is most important.

Brahminical Order

In this age of Kali, we are all born as sudras. But if we sincerely practice Krsna consciousness under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master, we can develop all the good qualities of the demigods and become real brahmanas.
