Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

You can do it anywhere—that is the mission of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He says, pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma (Caitanya-bhāgavata, Antya 4.126): "All over the world, as many towns and villages are there, this Kṛṣṇa conciousness movement must be spread." So one must know the science and spread it. That is wanted. People are suffering for want of knowledge. They should be enlightened by this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. That is the business of human life. Especially Caitanya Mahāprabhu ordered the Indians to do it. He said,

bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma yāra janma sārthaka kari' kara para-upakāra (CC Adi 9.41) His mission is that anyone who has taken birth in India, he first of all make his life successful and spread this knowledge for welfare activities of the whole human society. This is required.

Devotee: Is it possible for a fallen soul to preach the glories of Kṛṣṇa and Lord Caitanya and the spiritual master to people outside?

Prabhupāda: Outside? What do you mean outside?

Devotee: In society. Outside of the movement, outside of the temple.

Devotee (2): He means living out independently, and also . . .

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Why not? Why not? It is simply an example how to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. You can start a similar place in your home, in your village, in your town. You can do that. It is simply an example how to conduct Kṛṣṇa consciousness business. It is not that the business is limited. It is not limited. Therefore we have written so many books. It is a great science. You can do it anywhere—that is the mission of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

Indian guest: I wish to offer my very sincere gratitude . . .

Prabhupāda: (break) . . . maya. So this māyācan be avoided. The method is very simple:

mām eva ye prapadyante
māyām etāṁ taranti te
(BG 7.14)

So if we actually want to get relief from the māyā, that is Kṛṣṇa's program. He says ultimately that,

sarva-dharmān parityajya
mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja
(BG 18.66)

If we actually do that, mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja, surrender to Kṛṣṇa, then it is very easy to get out of the clutches of māyā, instantly. He says, assures,

ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo
mokṣayiṣyāmi
(BG 18.66)
