Actually, I would like to add that if you look at the over-all picture, you would find that Srila Prabhupada is a genius in that he actually used temples, farms, donations, cow protection, restaurants, etc. to make people attracted to the Krsna conscious life-style so they ultimately do take to chanting of the holy name and read his books and go back to Godhead. So in-line with Lord Caitanya, Srila Prabhupada did stress sravanam and kirtanam so much so that even the temples, cows, farms, etc. were dovetailed toward this goal: "One should engage in practical service to the Lord. In our Krsna consciousness movement, *ALL* our activities are concentrated upon distributing Krsna literature. This is very important. One may approach any person and induce him to read Krsna literature so that in the future he also may become a devotee.... By fully concentrating on distributing books for Krsna, one is fully absorbed in Krsna." Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.2.37 Purport) your servant, Virender http://www.krishnasoft.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
