I am glad that you are reading our Bhagavad Gita As It Is and Teachings of Lord Chaitanya. You will get much enlightenment from them. Also you should read Back To Godhead and Srimad Bhagavatam, and surely your life will be sublime. In the future we expect you to be a great preacher of this movement to the world.

I thank you very much for your appreciation of our Krishna Consciousness Movement. Except for the Krishna Consciousness Movement, any other attempt for spiritual realization, such as drugs, voidness, impersonalism, bodily exercises of Hatha Yoga, etc.—they are all something like unconsciousness under some super-intoxicant. Srila Rupa Goswami has given a very nice example in this connection. He says that a conditioned soul remains in the slumber of unconsciousness just like a patient bitten by a poisonous snake. In India there is a class of snake-charmers and physicians who treat snake-bitten persons with a particular type of jungle herbs. This treatment is to bring the herb near the nostrils of the patient for being smelled, and then the patient comes back to consciousness and finds relief from the snake bite effect. In our conditioned life we are bitten by so many types of Maya [unclear] snakes, and more and more we are put into unconsciousness of mind without any hope of eternal life. Krishna Consciousness is the only herb for such Maya [unclear] snake-bite condition. So our duty is very responsible. We have to awaken so many snake-bitten patients under the spell of Maya [unclear]. A sincere soul like you will be a great help in this movement of Krishna Consciousness. I am glad that you are reading our Bhagavad Gita As It Is and Teachings of Lord Chaitanya. You will get much enlightenment from them. Also you should read Back To Godhead and Srimad Bhagavatam, and surely your life will be sublime. In the future we expect you to be a great preacher of this movement to the world.
