Category:Coming to the Krsna Consciousness Movement
Theme Analysis
Coming to the Krsna consciousness movement is described by Śrīla Prabhupāda as the result of immense spiritual fortune, often accumulated over many lifetimes. Unlike material endeavors where an unfinished task is a loss, any connection established with this movement yields a permanent spiritual asset. Even if a person joins and later falls away due to immaturity or the influence of maya, the service rendered remains to their eternal credit. The movement serves as an open invitation to all human beings—regardless of background, caste, or past habits—to transform their lives, give up sinful activities, and ultimately take up the responsibility of becoming spiritual masters themselves.
- Eternal Credit: Devotional service performed in this movement is never lost; even if a practitioner falls down, the spiritual asset remains and will fructify in the future.
- Universal Invitation: The movement is open to everyone—including those considered low-born or addicted to intoxication—offering them the chance to become purified Vaisnavas.
- Transformational Power: Mere contact with the movement has the potency to cure addictions (like LSD) and elevate a person from the bodily concept to the spiritual platform.
- The Call to Responsibility: Those who come are not meant to remain passive; they are expected to become serious, learn the philosophy, and eventually become gurus by repeating the message of Krsna.
