Guest guest Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Bhakti Caru Svami: "The Krsna Consciousness movement needs many exalted and learned persons who will sacrifice their lives to revive God consciousness throughout the world. We therefore invite all men and women advanced in knowledge to join the Krsna Consciousness movement." This quotation reminds me of an incident. It was one of my first meetings with Srila Prabhupada, maybe the 2nd or 3d meeting with him. Srila Prabhupada told me, "Offer this life to Krsna." He said, "And then see what happens. If there is no gain, if there is nothing achieved out of that, then what is the loss? It is just one life out of so many." That left a very deep impression in my mind. I realized what Srila Prabhupada wanted me to do, namely to just offer this life to Krsna. Srila Prabhupada also added something. Should I tell you that? Srila Prabhupada said, "Don't get involved with any woman." [laughter.] And then soon after that Srila Prabhupada gave me sannyasa. So here also Srila Prabhupada is emphasizing that this Krsna Consciousness movement needs many individuals' total involvement to revive Krsna Consciousness all over the world. And this means sacrifice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
