Category:Our Business (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
Throughout his extensive teachings and correspondence, Śrīla Prabhupāda radically redefines the concept of "business" for his disciples. Rather than viewing business as a mundane endeavor for accumulating material wealth, he elevates it to the highest spiritual platform. The supreme business of the human form of life is to revive one's dormant Kṛṣṇa consciousness and to distribute that transcendental knowledge to a suffering world. He warns that commercial enterprises should only be pursued if they directly support the preaching mission without causing spiritual distraction. Ultimately, the true business of a disciple is to become a pure devotee, strictly follow the regulative principles, and work tirelessly to go back home, back to Godhead, before the inevitable arrival of death.
- The Prime Business of Spiritual Practice: The foundational duty of every devotee is to conquer the bodily demands and strictly adhere to the regulative principles and the daily chanting of the mahā-mantra.
- The Preaching Mission: A devotee's occupational business is to act as an ambassador for the Supreme Lord, going door to door to save conditioned souls from the cycle of birth and death.
- Book Distribution as the Highest Priority: Distributing transcendental literatures like the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is considered the most vital and potent business for awakening mass spiritual consciousness.
- Material Commerce versus Spiritual Advancement: While some commercial business may be necessary for financial maintenance, it must never overshadow the routine spiritual duties or become a source of material entanglement.
- Tolerance in a Thankless Task: Preaching the absolute truth is often met with resistance, requiring the devotee to execute their business with immense patience and tolerance in the face of impediments.
- Finishing the Business of Material Existence: The ultimate goal of all Kṛṣṇa conscious endeavors is to perfectly conclude one's material entanglements and return to the spiritual world before the end of this lifetime.

- A sadhu is advised, titiksavah, tolerate. Tolerate all this nonsense. What can be done? We have no other alternative to tolerate. Nobody's coming to help us, our business is so thankless task
- Actually that is our most important business-to distribute our Back to Godhead magazine and if you will go on in this way with enthusiasm and determination for distributing BTG to everyone you meet then Krishna will surely bless you 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. Krsna is there. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is there
- Anyone who has accepted this Krsna consciousness movement, if he follows the principles, then he's surely going to home, back to home, back to Godhead. That is certain. But if you deviate, if you become attracted by maya, that is your business
- As far as possible, our business is to induce persons how he becomes Krsna conscious. That's all. For that reason, you can make your plan, because that is Krsna's plan. But that should also be sanctioned by Krsna
- As for your suggestion to open one store, I have no objection as long as the regulative principles are strictly followed. But there must be a solid basis for such business venture, not that once started we lose everything and close

B
- Because it is truth, you will come triumphant. There is no doubt about it. It is truth. Now you have to know how to present the truth. That is your business
- Best idea is for Subala to go to Fiji and preach. That is the business of sannyasi, not opening restaurant. Restaurant is for grhastha
- Bhaktas, they think, tat te 'nukampam susamiksamano bhunjana evatma-krtam vipakam. When a devotee is in trouble, he thinks that "I am suffering for my past deeds" That is a devotee's attitude. "Let me do my business, chant Hare Krsna"
- Book distribution is our real business. If we give them a record, they simply hear some magical sounds and take it for sense gratification, but if they receive one of our books and read even one page, they get eternally benefited
- Brahmana is meant for doing the brain work. He will give advice. Just like we, Krsna consciousness movement, we are not meant for the ksatriya's or vaisya's business, the devotees, but if required they can take. But real business is brahmana's business
- Brahmana means brahma janati iti brahmanah. One who knows Brahman, the Absolute Truth, he is called Brahmana. Therefore our business is to become a Brahmana. Don't think that Brahmanas are produced only in India. No
- Business is secondary to our basic routine work. If the routine Krishna Consciousness program is neglected for other things, then everything else will fail

F
- First business of management

- For relying upon devotees from outside to come there is not very practical business. It is better to recruit some local men and train them to do the work. But I think Madhudvisa can supply you with one or two men conveniently, you may request him this
H

- I am glad to see that Abhirama is doing well. He is a very intelligent boy. Now he is concentrating on book distribution so there will be no difficulty. This should be our first business. Temple opening is secondary

- I think we should not do anything which may be business competition between centers. Business is in one sense very dangerous allurement of Maya

- I want that our literatures be profusely distributed, so if you can assist me in this way by your Spiritual Sky business, I am greatly satisfied
- I will give you many business ideas by which you can accumulate nice profits. For business four things are required. Namely place, labor, capital and organization
- I wish that you may come here for a week, suspending all other business and finish this Bhagavad-gita in my presence
- If they think that they can do some business, let them do it. What can be done? If they cannot produce food, then let them do business
- If you divert your attention to a lot of business, then spiritual advancement will be hampered. So I do not think it is wise to get that big store and start a big business with many departments. That will distract

L
M

- Most rubbish civilization, modern misleading, soul-killing. Andha yathandhair upaniyamanah (SB 7.5.31). Very difficult to live with them. Still, we have to do this Krsna's business. So we have to do our business. Let the dogs bark on
- My Guru Maharaja has instructed me to spread this Krsna Consciousness Movement in the western world, so this is our first business

- Nobody is better meditator than these boys. They are simply concentrating on Krsna. Their whole business is Krsna

- Our business is to chant and glorify the Holy Name of Krishna and wherever we may remain, Krishna is with us, Krishna is within your heart, Krishna is within my heart
- Our business is to chant, so if there is restriction, sathe sathyam acaret, we should be also very clever. So anyway, chant Hare Krsna mantra and be happy. That is Krsna consciousness movement

- Our business should be not to associate with the material qualities. Even up to goodness. Material quality, goodness means the brahminical quality. Sattva sama damas titiksa. So devotional service is transcendental
- Our business should be that this life should be utilized only for complete Krsna consciousness. No other business. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's cult. And it is not very difficult. Not at all difficult
- Our business, this spiritual line, is guru-krsna-krpa. We have to first receive the merciful benediction from the acarya, and then Krsna will be pleased and He'll also give His blessings. Mad-bhakta

- Our first business is this book distribution. There is no need of any other business

- Our only business is to spread Krishna Consciousness to the best of our possibility, and Krishna has given us discrimination and judgment. So, Krishna is within you, you chant and ask Him, Krishna and He will give you proper instruction
- Our only business: how to love Krsna, how to serve Krsna. That's all. That is perfection
- Our proper business is to satisfy the senses of Krsna, not our senses. So because we have deviated from our original position, therefore it is always a perplexity of our life
- Our real business is to print and distribute books. By doing this business, you are all becoming recognized by Krishna
- Outdoor kirtana must be done, even at the cost of suspending all editorial work. That is your first and foremost business. Temple worship is not so important. If need be, the whole temple can be locked, but the outdoor kirtana cannot be stopped

- People have to be . . . they want to be cheated, that's all right. But our business is to save them
- Practically there is no question of my neglecting the financial matters of the society, and similarly, you shall do as I am doing. That is your real business
- Preaching is our first business and ordering is routine work. Anyone can learn and manage the ordering department, but preaching requires special qualification

R
- Regarding the recent upheavals in our Society, that business is finished, now we must all concentrate very carefully on the simple execution of our duty following the principles of regulation very strictly in our daily life
- Regarding the rumor about New Vrindaban closing, do not try to divert your attention to all these rumors. Rumor is rumor. When New Vrindaban by the wish of Krishna is started, let us go on with the business. I can understand why the rumor was broadcast
- Regarding your business, I have seen many merchants who will supply us incense, frankincense, saris, musical instruments, dancing ghungru (jingle bells for feet) etc
- Regarding your business, if Jayatirtha and the others give their sanction, then I have no objection. The most important thing is that you must follow all of the rules and regulations
S
- Sankirtana is our life and soul, and if we execute this transcendental business in all earnestness, then there will be no difficulty in any way. We should not pray to Krishna anything except to ask to engage in His service

- Sannyas means they should travel extensively, create new centers and new devotees - that is sannyasa business

- Since the temple is started, the temple cannot be closed on any day. This is the serious business of opening a center. In no case, even in the most urgent case, the temple cannot be closed even for a single day
- So bodily concept of life means satisfying these gross material senses. That is bodily concept of life. But gradually, by Krsna consciousness, by training ourself, how to become Krsna conscious, then our business will be how to satisfy Krsna
- So far as cooperating with my Godbrothers is concerned, that is not very urgent business. So far until now my Godbrothers have regularly not cooperated with me and by the grace of my Spiritual Master, things are still going ahead
- So far we are concerned, we have no business, we have no profession. We do not know what we shall eat tomorrow. Or in the evening. We are in such a position. But we have no anxiety. You can see practically
- So happiness, unless Krsna gives, there is no question of happiness. Our business should be that we may not be uncomfortably living which will disturb our progress of Krsna consciousness
- So if we say, people become angry. And we don't say anything. We simply repeat. That is our business. We are not learned scholars. But our mission is to repeat the words of Krsna
- So our business is to finish this material affair or not to be attracted by the material affairs, but to be attracted by the spiritual affairs. That is required
- So our business is to keep fit as brahmanas and to train others to be ideal ksatriyas and vaisyas for advancing the whole society

- Stealing is not our business. Our business is to become Krsna conscious. Caesar's wife must be above suspicion. This is our program
T

- That is the sannyasi business, to travel from center to center and instruct the devotees in spiritual life. That is a good program for you, to learn the books very thoroughly and practice the knowledge you are learning
- The center has become cumbersome on account of mismanagement. Things must be settled before Shayamasundar can take charge again. These bills presented by different creditors on account of jewelry business must not be paid by ISKCON
- The duty must be done. Even it is little suffering. That is called tapasya. Tapasya means we must proceed with our Krsna consciousness business in spite of all dangerous and calamitous condition of this world. This is called tapasya
- The first business is that the GBC must see to the management of their zones. Still, I require a permanent secretary. In addition, one GBC man may come and go
- The general public will not be very much interested to see the deity, it is our personal business. When you contact with the mass of people Sankirtana is the main business. So considering all these point you do the needful, I have no objection
- The matter will have to be taken up by the GBC at their general meeting and whatever decision they make you will have to abide by. This business must stop. If you fight amongst yourselves what can I do? This fighting will spoil everything
- The presidents should not give up their posts, but GBC work must go on and temple activities be maintained simultaneously. So now you have experienced practically that your responsibility for temple upkeep must not be set aside for GBC business
- The real business is that you produce enough food grains, as much as possible, and you eat and distribute. That's all. This is business. He does not require any so high technical education. Anyone can till the ground and grow food. Is it difficult?
- The young Indian men are not joining our movement. So for conducting all this business we require 50-100 men, foreigners who are trained up. We have no business to take part in politics
- These debts must be paid, that is important business. Along with our preaching and propaganda work, we must also give attention to financial matters, otherwise the whole thing will collapse and it will be a farce
- These European and American boys, unless there was Krsna consciousness dormant, how it could be invoked? It is not sentiment. It was there. Our business was just to arouse
- They are not doing business. They are attached to temple activities. Anyway, these things have to be adjusted
- This cycle of birth and death is going on. Guru's business is how to stop this cycle of birth and death. And it is not very difficult. Teach him to understand Krsna, and Krsna is assuring
- This is our business, to carry the message of Lord Caitanya to every person
- This Krsna consciousness movement is that we are simply trying to convince people what Krsna has said, that's all. We are not manufacturing anything. So that is our business
- This life is meant for restraining. Restraining. Tapa. We have to restrain our business of sense gratification. Without restraining our business of sense gratification, it is not possible to make ourselves liberated

- This recording business is not our line, so you should not divert your attention for the time being for such things
- This second initiation is very, very serious business, and you must become very strong and firmly situated in devotional service
- This should be strictly followed: 50% for printing and 50% for building. No money should be invested for any business purposes
- Those who are GBC's should be very very careful to administer the business of ISKCON. Otherwise they will be punished. As the post is very great, similarly, the punishment is also very great. That is the difficulty
- Those who are not in knowledge, they are afraid of death. Best business is, before the death comes let us finish our Krsna consciousness perfectly. That is wanted. Death will come. You cannot avoid it
- Try to avoid too much business as this distracts us from our real mission. If Krishna sees that we are very active to spread information about Him, He is Master of the Goddess of Fortune, He will give everything!
W
- We (my disciples) are simply busy with Krsna business. We try to remember Krsna twenty-four hours. That is our method. So this method of religious prescription I think you'll not find. At least in the Western world you won't find
- We are creating interest on behalf of God. That is our business. We are servant of God. We are trying to save people from the cycle of repetition of birth and death in different varieties or species of life
- We are going to door to door, country to country, continent to continent, city to city, village to village, "Please become Krsna conscious." We are teaching them how you can be happy, how you can be a man of knowledge. That is our business
- We are not business men
- We are not manufacturing. I do not say that "I am guru." Our business is to present what Krsna has said. That's all. Therefore I'm guru. Guru is he who speaks Krsna's words. That is guru. And if he manufactures, then he is a cheater
- We are simply busy with Krsna business. We try to remember Krsna twenty-four hours. That is our method
- We are teaching that you become humble, meek, surrender. You have got the independence. That is your business
- We don't want to give any chance for Maya to enter in our business. That should be our motto, and we should be very much vigilant
- We have come to your country - you provide, we enter. You see? Our business is ajagara-vrtti. The mouse makes a hole, and the snake enters it. That's all
- We have got tremendous business. Village to village, distribute these books and sankirtana. You don't require language. Chant Hare Krsna and distribute the... Bas. And prasada distribution. It doesn't matter who is doing
- We have no business to come so far. In Vrndavana I could live very peacefully; there is two room still, in Radha-Damodara Temple. But because there is Krsna consciousness. Krsna consciousness means serving the Lord
- We have taken this business that preach that there is God. We have got an intimate relationship with God. So if you act, act accordingly, then you will be happy. This is our Krsna consciousness movement
- We have to do our business, despite all hindrances, all obstacles, because we are servant of Krsna. That is the thing
- We have to finish this material business before we can understand spiritual thing. If one has got still inclination for material things, it is useless waste of time for him to understand
- We immediately take it, that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. We are not going to search out who is the Supreme. Because we are hearing from the Supreme, Krsna, then our business is finished
- We know who is God. Therefore this business is possible by us, not by others. We know what is God. We have no vague idea. We know who is God, where does He live, what does He do, His name, address, His father's name - everything we know
- We Krsna conscious people wherever we live it doesn’t matter, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles our business is to chant the maha-mantra and so long we shall continue to chant this maha-mantra we shall perpetually remain in Vaikuntha
- We must try to avoid becoming too much overly organized like the material businessmen. Our business is to ourselves become Krishna conscious, advance in spiritual life, and to preach to others how they can also take advantage
- We offer prasadam, the same principle. A man does not know about Krsna. But he wants to eat. By eating, he'll be gradually Krsna conscious. Our business is to give opportunity to all forgotten souls to be engaged in Krsna consciousness, today or tomorrow
- We should try very fast before the next death comes. And death will come. So we shall prepare in such a way that before the next death comes over, we finish our Krsna consciousness business and go back to home, back to Godhead
- We take advantage of this meeting. We do our business and go away. And they have no books. They have simply that pressing of nose, that's all, nothing else. They have no philosophy, nothing of the sort
- Well, business-minded is not bad, but contamination is bad. If I chant Hare Krsna and do business, what is the harm? Where is wrong?
- What is this stealing and violence. This is not good. By stealing, did Gurukrpa Maharaja collect that money? Stealing is not our business. Our business is to become Krsna conscious
- When you do business you should do it business-like. We should not neglect any minute part of it, but at the same time we shall think of Krishna, seeking His protection
- When you give me massaging, I say, "Do like this," similarly, when one is engaged in Krsna's service, from within He dictates, "Do like this. Do like this." So our business is how Krsna will accept our service
- Whichever position one can find himself suitable, he can accept that. But the main business is krsna-tattva-vetta, and preach the cult all over the world, sei guru haya. Guru means preacher, to enlighten. One who can enlighten, he is guru
- Why he should be given this business? He's such irresponsible man. He should not be given any responsible work. Our first business should see how he is advanced in devotion. We don't want so-called scholars
- With great difficulty we get a man. We have to reform them. Our business is to become sympathetic to fallen souls. So in future do not do it all. Everything should be done amicably
Y
- You are all fools. You are not enjoying life. - They may say like that, but our . . . because we have nothing to do with them, our business is to satisfy the Supreme. That is my real sense gratification
- You are already known as the bright-faced. Is it not? Before coming to Krsna consciousness see the photograph of your face, and now see. Practical. But if you deviate, if you fall down again, that is your business
- You are very sincere boy trying your best to serve Krishna and by His Grace you are quite fit for this business, and considering all these points, I have entrusted Back To Godhead in your hand. Because this paper is the beginning of my spiritual life
- You are welcome to take initiation, but if you are neglectful, if you want to make it a farce, that is your business. I cannot give you any protection
- You cannot describe better than us. Is it not a fact? Because we know our business, therefore we are describing our facts very nicely. You are outsider. So you cannot place pros and cons so nicely
- You do not forget this business of sravanam kirtanam visnoh (SB 7.5.23). Visnu is of the . . . we should always engage ourselves in hearing and talking. Talking is also chanting
- You have got more important business than selling. Both your wife and yourself are meant for publication department
- You should not be discouraged if people are not coming to your meetings. We are trying to please Krishna. That is all. We simply must go on with our business, to the best of our ability
- Your business is how to become happy, because by nature you are happy. Diseased condition, that happiness being checked. So this is our diseased condition, this material, conditional life, this body
- Your business must cooperate with the other departments, so that all departments can go on smoothly. Otherwise it is not a very good situation
- Your business should be: "Who is that brain behind it?" That should be your research, not that how chemical combination can be... It is already being produced without your so-called scientific knowledge. It is already going on
- Your determination to remain as brahmacari is very encouraging. Actually, a living entity does not require to be entangled more and more. Rather he should save his time to finish the Krishna Consciousness business, and thus be liberated in this life
- Your only business is how to become pure devotee of Lord Krishna. Then everything is all right. Please remember this truth always, and do your duty for strongly pushing on this Krishna Consciousness movement in Germany
- Your only business is to follow the four principles of regulative life and chant Hare Krsna sixteen rounds. So there may be sometimes mistake. That will be corrected automatically
