Theme Analysis
The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is described by Śrīla Prabhupāda as an authorized, scientific, and universal mission that transcends all sectarian designations. It is not a manufactured religion but the eternal function of the soul, bhāgavata-dharma, directly imported from the spiritual kingdom of Goloka Vṛndāvana. As a declaration of war against māyā, the movement seeks to rescue human society from a risky civilization of ignorance where people live like "dogs and hogs." By distributing the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra and the authorized knowledge of Bhagavad-gītā, the movement aims to cleanse the heart, rectify the forgetfulness of God, and provide the ultimate solution to the problems of birth, death, old age, and disease.
- A Universal and Scientific Movement: This movement is not a sectarian faith or a new concoction but a scientific process based on prehistoric Vedic authorities. It is meant for all humanity, regardless of caste, creed, or color, aiming to bestow essential knowledge of life. By presenting Kṛṣṇa as He is, the movement provides a platform of goodness that can adjust global disagreements and bring people back to their natural position as parts and parcels of God.
- A Fight Against a Risky Civilization: Śrīla Prabhupāda characterizes the movement as a challenge and a protest against a modern civilization that keeps people in ignorance. It is a war against the "Jagāi-Mādhāi" principles of illicit sex, intoxication, gambling, and meat-eating. The mission is to transform an "animal society" into a "human civilization" by replacing godless, demoniac tendencies with spiritual consciousness.
- The Greatest Welfare Activity: As a life-giving movement, it is considered the greatest gift to the human race. By invoking man's dormant spiritual life and teaching the art of surrendering to Kṛṣṇa, the movement saves people from the danger of falling into lower species in their next life. It is the only panacea for the diseases of the material world, offering a practical way to return home, back to Godhead.
- The Process of Purification and Practice: The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is primarily a hearing process and a method for clearing the consciousness. It involves training people to be absorbed in the thought of Kṛṣṇa twenty-four hours a day through devotional service. By following in the footsteps of the Six Gosvāmīs and Lord Caitanya, the movement distributes the sublime information needed to transcend the modes of material nature and achieve the perfection of rāga-bhakti.
- Strategic Outreach and Global Expansion: From distributing books to opening hundreds of temples, the movement is flourishing all over the world by the grace of Lord Caitanya. It is described as an epidemic of spiritual ecstasy that captures the hearts of the younger generation and world leaders alike. The movement requires expert management and sincere assistance from disciples to ensure that the message of Kṛṣṇa is maintained heart and soul for future generations.
