Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 This verse, therefore, advises that everyone become a member of the Aryan civilization and accept the instructions of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One should conduct his social, political and religious affairs according to His instructions. We are spreading the Krsna consciousness movement to try to establish a society the way that Krsna wants it. This is the meaning of Krsna consciousness. We are therefore presenting Bhagavad-gita as it is and kicking out all kinds of mental concoction. SB 6.16.43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also explicitly states as much when he adds: "Therefore bhagavata-dharma means the varnasrama-dharma of the four social and four spiritual divisions." Practically, one who first applies this understanding can eventually appreciate Bhagavata (1.2.8), "Duties (dharma) executed by men, regardless of occupation, are only so much useless labor if they do not provoke attraction for the message of the Supreme Lord."
