Become Preachers

Prabhupada is asking his hearers, who are only beginners in spiritual life, to become totally dedicated preachers of Krishna consciousness: “In the "Бхагавад-гита", you will find that anyone who preaches the gospel of "Бхагавад-гита" to the people of the world is the most dear, the dearest person to Krishna.  Therefore it is our duty to preach the principles of this "Бхагавад-гита" to make people Krishna conscious.”  Prabhupada can’t wait to tell them – even if they aren’t ready.  It’s too urgent.  The world needs Krishna conscious preachers.

People are suffering for want of Krishna consciousness.  Therefore, each and every one of us should be engaged in the preaching work of Krishna consciousness for the benefit of the whole world.  Lord Caitanya, whose picture is in the front of our store, has very nicely preached the philosophy of Krishna consciousness.  The Lord says, “Just take my orders, all of you, and become a spiritual master.”  Lord Caitanya gives the order that in every country you go and preach Krishna consciousness.  So if we take up this missionary work to preach "Бхагавад-гита" as it is, without interpretation, and without any material motives behind it – as it is – then Krishna says it shall be done.  We should not have any attraction for worldly activities, otherwise we can’t have Krishna.  But it doesn’t mean that we should be inimical to the people of the world.  No, it is our duty to give them the highest instruction, that you become Krishna conscious.
