We have got books also, philosophy also, plus the sankīrtana, combined together. Sankīrtana is . . . sankīrtana as well as books, that, that is called bhagavat-mārga, and the Deity worship is called pañcarātrika-vidhi. Both of them should go parallel. One will help . . . the Deity worship will help you in the path of bhagavat-mārga, and the bhagavat-mārga will help you in the pañcarātrika-vidhi. So combine together; make progress. I am very happy that you have already made sufficient progress. But don't be satisfied that, "This is end." No. Kṛṣṇa is unlimited. His service is also unlimited. Ānandāmbudhi-vardanam. This is the line; Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the line where the blissful ocean increases.
Here you have got experience, the salty ocean, it does not increase; it is decreasing. But the another ocean, ānandāmbudhi . . . ānanda means blissfulness, transcendental; ambudhi means ocean. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has said:
- ānandāmbudhi-vardanam
- pratipadaṁ pūrṇāmṛtāsvādanam
- param vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanaṁ
- (CC Antya 20.12)
Sankīrtana movement is so nice that it will increase blissful life more and more, more and more. Although you are getting some impediments from the authorities, you don't mind for that. You go on with your business and nobody can check you. Kṛṣṇa is there. Caitanya Mahāprabhu is there.
