Category:Krsna Consciousness Movement Is A Mission
Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda defines the Krsna consciousness movement as a specific, scientific mission aimed at the total re-education of human society. It is not a religious sentiment or a sectarian movement but a manifestation of para-upakara—acting for the ultimate benefit of others. This mission is identical to the one inaugurated by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, intended to deliver fallen souls from the disastrous conditions of material existence and elevate them to the platform of spiritual intelligence. Every member of the movement, from the traveling preacher to the householder, carries the responsibility to "canvass" on behalf of the Lord.
- A Mission of Universal Compassion: The movement is dedicated to the happiness of all living entities. Saintly persons in this mission go from door to door, not as beggars, but as messengers of the Absolute Truth, offering books to enlighten the common man and elevate him to the brahminical platform.
- Scientific and Sober Preaching: This mission is a scientific endeavor to inject spiritual life into the "dead body" of material nature. It requires sober leadership and a deep understanding of the principles of the Bhagavad-gita to defy the misconceptions of the karmis, jnanis, and yogis.
- The Legacy of Disciples: Śrīla Prabhupāda expresses his confidence in the success of the mission through the dedication of his disciples. The active participation of householders in preaching is highlighted as a historic development in the sankirtana movement.
- Persistence Despite Opposition: History shows that missionary activities often face animosity from those attached to material family life. However, following the example of Narada Muni, the missionaries of Krsna consciousness never give up their work, knowing it is the only way to establish real worship of Lord Visnu.
