Category:Taking Up God's Mission

Theme Analysis

Taking up God's mission is defined as the ultimate welfare activity for human society, initiated by Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself and revitalized by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that this mission is not a sectarian or factional endeavor but a global movement meant to spread the importance of human life and solve the fundamental problems of the world. By accepting the order of the spiritual master and the Lord, a disciple becomes a vital instrument in "injecting" Kṛṣṇa consciousness into the "dead body" of material nature, thereby performing the highest good for both themselves and others.

  • The Mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu: The primary desire of Caitanya Mahāprabhu is to see the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement spread to every town and village on the globe. This mission calls upon every competent disciple to become a guru by the Lord's order and preach the message of the Bhagavad-gītā as it is.
  • The Special Responsibility of India: Those born in the land of India (Bhārata-varṣa) have a unique duty to first make their own lives successful by following Vedic principles and then work for the benefit of all humanity. While this was traditionally the duty of Indians, the mission is now being enthusiastically embraced by followers in the West.
  • Qualifications and Success in Preaching: Taking up this mission requires more than just sentiment; it demands sobriety, enthusiasm, and firm adherence to spiritual practices. Success is guaranteed for those who preach with full faith in the spiritual master and follow the footprints of great preachers like Lord Jesus, who served God's mission despite all persecutions.
  • Curing the Disease of Materialism: The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is described as a medical mission intended to cure the disease of material existence. Although people may not initially appreciate the effort due to ignorance, the mission continues under the protection of the predecessor ācāryas to restore the "Aryan civilization" of spiritual knowledge.
