Category:This Is Our Program (Disciples of SP)

Theme Analysis

The category "This Is Our Program" outlines the comprehensive vision for the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the ultimate program is not to artificially stop activities or deny enjoyment, but to purify the senses by placing one's love entirely in God. Practically, this standard program involves chanting daily, following regulative principles, distributing prasādam, and making book distribution the primary focus. By strictly adhering to the authority of the paramparā, devotees are trained to elevate human consciousness from the material platform to the spiritual, ultimately making everyone eternally happy.

  • The Standard Practice: The fundamental program for advancing in spiritual life is chanting sixteen rounds daily, attending classes, and holding street saṅkīrtana. If practitioners follow these basic activities enthusiastically, their lives will naturally become peaceful and successful.
  • Book Distribution and Preaching: Printing and distributing transcendental literature is established as the main program, with all other endeavors considered secondary. By opening temples and educating people in schools and colleges, devotees inject genuine spiritual knowledge into society.
  • Real Sense Enjoyment: The movement does not teach cheap, nonsensical methods or artificially demand starvation. Instead, it advocates for the proper regulation of necessities like eating, allowing individuals to cure their material disease and experience true, purified sense enjoyment.
  • Revising Human Civilization: By strictly accepting the words of authorized predecessors rather than mundane speculation, the disciples are tasked with rewriting the entire course of Western civilization. This scientific program of rendering loving service to humanity transcends religious designations and aims to make the whole world divine.
