Category:Our Preaching Method (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
Spreading transcendental knowledge across the globe requires a pure and highly effective approach. Through his meticulous guidance, Śrīla Prabhupāda establishes a standard, scientific, and profoundly simple preaching method for his disciples to follow. Rather than manufacturing new gimmicks or relying on mundane amusements to attract the public, he trains his followers to depend entirely on the sublime process of chanting, dancing, feasting, and philosophizing. Emphasizing that the most successful system is built on honesty and ideal personal character, the spiritual master strictly rejects any dubious tactics or deceptive fundraising. Furthermore, he teaches that true preaching is never about fighting or aggressive kicking; it requires immense tolerance, humility, and the gentle presentation of authorized scriptural truth. By proactively going to the people and generously distributing prasadam, the dedicated disciples awaken the dormant spiritual fire within every living entity.
- The Joyful Formula: The movement is inherently blissful, relying on the simple and scientific methods of chanting, dancing, and distributing transcendental food.
- Honesty and Ideal Character: Effective preaching requires the messenger to be an ideal example, strictly adhering to the principles and presenting the philosophy honestly without dubious tactics.
- Humility Over Conflict: True preachers do not fight or aggressively force their views; they tolerate worldly opposition and gently convince others with extreme humility.
- Proactive Engagement: Rather than waiting for the public to approach them, devotees are encouraged to boldly go out to the people to establish the standard methods of the society.
- Awakening Dormant Devotion: Because love of God is already dormant within everyone, the simple act of vibrating the holy name acts as a match to ignite the spiritual fire.
- Substance Over Amusements: The movement rejects cheap material attractions like sex or crime, choosing instead to convert the public through the genuine substance of spiritual culture.

I
- I am very much pleased with your preaching enthusiasm, when you say, "If people won't come to us, here, we will go to them." And this is the process of preaching, and this is required
- I completely support your idea about the preaching method. We are not lacking in philosophy - by the grace of Krishna we have got ample stock to answer anybody's intricate philosophical questions
- I have adopted the method of sending young married couples for such preaching work, and you will be pleased to know that this system in these countries has proved more effective
- I have read it, and am glad that you have understood the matter so thoroughly, and have now substantiated your conclusions with so much scriptural proof. Actually, that is our method of preaching, simply to repeat the message as it is
- If someone feels cheated by our men because they are using dubious methods of distribution and collecting money our purity may be doubted and reputation spoiled
O
- Of course it is very difficult for the western people to understand this philosophy of being cent per cent dependent on the mercy of God. Therefore, the easiest method for us is to popularize the Sankirtana movement everywhere
- Of course we may take money for Krsna using any method of beg, borrow and steal, but more advanced understanding of Krsna consciousness process is that by telling the truth in a very palatable way, that is the most successful system
- Our Krsna consciousness movement distributes krsna-prasadam, and those who eat such transcendental food are sure to become devotees of the Lord. This is a very scientific method
- Our method is very simple. The preacher should also be ideal, sincere, serious and strictly adhering to our principles, chanting 16 rounds and following the restrictive rules
- Our method of establishing a flourishing center will continue to be the same. This is standard and successful. Please keep me informed about your center
- Our method should be to convert such fools (who criticize the preachers of the sankirtana movement) gradually by asking them to come and take prasadam and chant and dance with us. This should be our policy
- Our mission is not to fight, but our mission is to convince. So this is the method to be accepted by devotees, those who are in Krsna consciousness, to preach the philosophy in the world
- Our movement is for ananda, simply bliss, and the method of pushing this movement is chanting, dancing, feasting and philosophizing
- Our preaching method is not kicking. Our preaching method is by taking a grass in the teeth
S
- Simply because they have not got any real substance for attracting, they offer what they think the public might like, such as sex, crimes, amusements, like that. That is not our method
- So if you make propaganda amongst the hippy group simply by our standard method; Samkirtan, reading some portion of Bhagavad Gita, and distributing prasadam, then I am sure the quarters in which you have now shifted will be very much prospective
- So on the occasion of the Lord's 463rd advent day, I beg to suggest that in the guru-mandala some such preaching method as was adopted by Lord Caitanya, may also be adopted for the benefit of the general people
- So our method is very easy. We are challenging everyone. Just like there are many scientific disciples. So I am not a science man. I have never studied science. But scientists, they are becoming my disciple
- So you encourage the visitors, boys and girls as well as married couples, to understand the value of life and how they can peacefully and happily live if they follow the routine worship method in the temple
- Success is his who is pushing forward the preaching method. That is his success
T
- The basic principle of our preaching work, methods and management must be the same. I do not know why a separate registration is required
- This Krsna consciousness movement means we are preaching the cult of Bhagavatam. It is a scientific method
- Try to keep nice peace with the police as far as possible, because our method is to be tolerant more than the tree and humbler than the grass on the street. We don't mind for so-called prestige
