Category:Broadcasting the Krsna Consciousness Movement

Theme Analysis

Broadcasting the Krsna consciousness movement is identified by Śrīla Prabhupāda as the highest form of welfare work (paropakara). The purpose of this dissemination is not to recruit members for a sect, but to sanitize the "polluted atmosphere" of the modern world and restore sanity to human society. The strategy for this global broadcast relies heavily on utilizing the English language, the printing press, and the enthusiasm of devotees in the West. This active preaching is the fulfillment of Lord Caitanya's order and the primary means by which a devotee satisfies the spiritual master.

  • Sanitizing Society: The primary effect of broadcasting the holy name and transcendental literature is the purification of the world's atmosphere, allowing people to become sane in their daily transactions.
  • Strategic Distribution: Recognizing the global influence of the English language and American culture, the movement utilizes these mediums along with modern printing presses to circulate the message effectively.
  • The Duty of the Devotee: A devotee's life is dedicated to broadcasting the glories of the Lord; this enthusiasm is the essence of spiritual life and the key to satisfying the Guru-parampara.
  • Scientific, Not Sectarian: The movement is described not as a religious sentiment but as a scientific process intended for the benefit of all, distinguishing it from ordinary proselytizing.
