Category:Teaching Krsna Consciousness
Theme Analysis
The teaching of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is defined by Śrīla Prabhupāda as a scientific educational process rather than a sectarian religious faith. This supreme welfare work is intended to solve the fundamental problems of life by restoring the living entity's direct relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vasudeva. Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that this education is a revolutionary necessity for modern society, as it reforms character and provides a spiritual foundation that material plans and pacts cannot achieve. The responsibility for this teaching lies with every responsible citizen, parent, and teacher, who should ensure that spiritual training begins from the very beginning of childhood.
- A Scientific and Non-Sectarian Education: Kṛṣṇa consciousness is a teaching process for understanding the Supreme Lord and our eternal relationship with Him. It is not based on sentiment, fanaticism, or maybe and perhaps, but on the definite and perfect lessons received from Kṛṣṇa Himself.
- The Vital Necessity of Early Education: Following the authority of Prahlāda Mahārāja, Śrīla Prabhupāda insists that Kṛṣṇa consciousness must be taught from the beginning of childhood. Spiritual training in schools and colleges is a revolutionary thought that is essential to protect the future of the world and prevent humanity from degrading to animal life.
- The Responsibility of the Ācārya and Leaders: A bona fide ācārya or spiritual master has no other business than to teach God consciousness. Furthermore, any person, regardless of their social position, who is fully conversant with the science of Kṛṣṇa is authorized to teach it and act as a spiritual master.
- Welfare for Human Society: The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is the greatest boon to humanity because it teaches people to live simply and think of Kṛṣṇa. By educating the public to avoid sinful activities like illicit sex and intoxication, the movement reforms character and provides a permanent solution to the disaster caused by demoniac mentalities.
