PRISON PREACHING

 

Usually we preach about Supreme Power of Godhead (Lord

Krishna) in different ways to different section of society by our own means

and way through Kirtan, lectures, visiting door to door etc. In this way we

only preach to limited sections of society. But in real we don't cover

hundred percent people in general. No doubt we succeeded in emphasizing them

to make them spiritualist. As we all knows that majority of the people are

indulged in materialist life and some time we have to face much problems to

get them out from this materialistic world. Even then we succeeded in

changing their life style. Every human being has seed of Bhakti in their

bodies but we only need to water it so that it starts to grow and slowly

slowly it becomes a Hari Naam shaped big tree. We only need to water it by

the means of chanting Mahamantra (Hare Krishna , hare Krishna, Krishna

Krishna, hare hare , Hare rama hare rama, Ram Ram Hare hare. This is all we

do for so called good citizens. But still on the other hand there are people

to whom we still ignoring may be one reason or the other. Here I am focusing

your attention about the people we are in Prison. In reality we all are

prisoners in this world. But only difference in actual prisoners and us is

that the so called actual prisoners are in the inside the prison and the

rest is outside the prison but in real we all are prisoners in this world.

The prisoners are also a part of our society and hence we should not ignore

them. Our society (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) ISKCON,

is making every possible effort to preach the people even in the hidden

places like prison. So that when the prisoners will be set free they must be

a spiritual and never do the sinful activities in their life. These people

deserve more to be preached. For example doctor only first attend the

serious patients and rest later. In the same way we must preach first to the

said people because they are actually serious. We appeal to all the devotees

worldwide to start such type of preaching programs so that preaching must

touch hundred percent coverage.
