As followers of Bhagawat Gita we are firmly convinced that the onslaught of nature which is constantly being inflicted upon human society is a sort of police action by the laws of the Almighty and as soon as we surrender unto the Divine Will of the Almighty we not only become Mahatmas & saints but also the attack of unkind Nature is vanquished at once.

In the spiritual line of disciplic succession from Sree Brahmaji who was first transcendental student of the Vedas down to my spiritual master as above mentioned, the Vedic culture is aimed at reestablishing the eternal relation of living entity with the Absolute Truth of Whom the living entities are but parts &amp; parcels.

Forgetfulness of that eternal relation is called maya or illusion. This illusory energy of Godhead is conducted under three modes of nature under the name of mundane goodness, passion and ignorance. The whole material world is the creation of the external illusory energy of Godhead and the living entities who forget the eternal relation with Godhead are so to say entrapped by Maya to undergo a conditional life under the modes of Nature.

Out of eighty four lakhs of varieties or species of life there are only four lakhs varieties of human being. Out of these varieties of human being those who can acquire the [Text Missing] qualities of goodness out of the three modes of nature, can also realize the proper self which is not the product of material world.

The Vedic culture determines the standard of social upliftment in terms of the degree of [Text Missing] self-realization and as such the social division was estimated accordingly in terms of goodness (intelligence and higher learning), passion (martial spirit to lord it over the world), passion-cum-ignorance (the spirit of productivity) and ignorance (the spirit of passive acceptance of being controlled by the laws of material nature).

According to Vedic scriptures the present age is called Kali-yuga and almost all human beings are now degraded to the standard of the mode of ignorance and therefore the greater number of population are subjected to the pangs of the threefold miseries of material existence in the most horrible manner.

In such rabid condition of human being the panacea is "Krishna sankirtana" recommended in all scriptures. By this process, the forgetfulness of human being of his eternal relation with Godhead, is removed altogether.

Sree Chaitanya Mahaprabhu as confirmed incarnation of Sree Krishna the Personality of Godhead inaugurated this sankirtan movement and He reclaimed all conditioned souls from all ranks of life even from animal kingdom for being re-instated in the transcendental relation and activities of loving service to the Absolute Truth. Thakura Haridas who happened to appear in the family of a Mohammedan was one of His principle associates and His transcendental movement embraced all varieties of people beginning from the most erudite scholar brahmanas to the one who came in the family of Javana &amp; Chandala.

[Text Missing] The specialty of His movement was that the fallen candala did not remain a candala after his initiation but he was made to rise up to the status of Vaisnava which is far above the status of brahmana and other orders of life. [Text Missing]

That is the process of social upliftment. And we follow the footprints of Sree Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and His associates who were all kind enough to raise the social status of every one concerned irrespective of birth and occupation.

Such process is not only transcendental to all sorts of mundane speculation, but is very simple and innocent. The principle is a sort of curing a disease not only by administering proper medicine but also by supplying proper diet at the same time.

The medicine is administered through submissive aural channel as "Hari Sankirtan" which means

<div class="quote_verse">
:(1) To sing "Bhajan" songs glorifying the Almighty and His Pastimes.
:(2) To preach the teachings of Bhagwat Gita, Bhagwat, Ramayana, life of such saints as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Tulsidas etc. 
:(3) To establish the philosophy of devotional life as against fruitful action or dry speculation of empiric philosophy and meet the opposite elements with all logical weapons.
</div>

i.e the medicine of "Hari Sankirtan" is administered by threefold action, namely by (a) melodious songs (b) by propaganda through press and (c) by propaganda on platforms.

The diet portion of the transcendental treatment consists in the distribution of Prasadam. [Text Missing] i.e. in all gatherings the audience should not only be sustained by melodious musical performances of Bhajan Sangat or by religious or theistic discourses but they must be given some sort of remnants of food-stuff offered to God, as recommended in Bhagavad-gita.

By this process of medical treatment [Text Missing] people become gradually free from the following four kinds of addictions of sins namely—

<div class="quote_verse">
:(1) Illegitimate connection with women.
:(2) Habit of animal killing.
:(3) Addiction to intoxication habits. 
:(4) Lure of gambling.
</div>

The conditioned human beings are enwrapped in the above four special due to the influence [Text Missing] of Kali-yuga and by the transcendental treatment of Hari Sankirtan the mirror of the heart of human being becomes cleansed of all the above mentioned dusts. As soon as the dusts are removed the human being is able to visualize a clear conception of his real self and thereby he becomes free from the miseries pertaining to the body &amp; mind, pertaining to the other living being and pertaining to the onslaughts of nature.

As followers of Bhagawat Gita we are firmly convinced that the onslaught of nature which is constantly being inflicted upon human society is a sort of police action by the laws of the Almighty and as soon as we surrender unto the Divine Will of the Almighty we not only become Mahatmas &amp; saints but also the attack of unkind Nature is vanquished at once. That is the teaching of Bhagawat Geeta and that is the demonstrative preaching of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The real life begins when we are freed from the clutches of Maya which is nothing but a bewildered conception of materialistic life. Sree Chaitanya Mahaprabhu changed the face of it spiritually.
