When All Hell Breaks Loose
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram, Austin,

 When
all hell breaks loose in this material world, as it
often does, the pure devotee of the Lord is not
surprised or bewildered because he sees how everything
is taking place under the sublime, divine, and perfect
arrangement of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In
all situations the pure devotee is saved from
psychological devastation because he constantly takes
shelter of Krishna and is thus always transported into
the supremely sublime dimension of Krishna consciousness
where life is eternal, full of bliss, and full of
knowledge. At the same time his heart bleeds with
compassion to see how much the world population is
suffering without Krishna consciousness, and he fully
dedicates his life to saving them from illusion.

Devotee, Although Fully at Peace Within, Is Most

Question: Is
ISKCON Membership Required? |
|
|
Dear Maharaja,
Does one have to be initiated in order to preach Krishna
Consciousness? If an aspirant is sincere in their
orientation in Krishna Consciousness, does it make a
difference to be initiated? And finally does one have to
be affiliated with ISKCON to be Krishna Conscious and
preach?

Answer: It Best Facilitates
Krishna Consciousness |
|
|
Whether they are initiated
or not, all devotees should dedicate their entire lives
for telling everyone about Krishna because Krishna
consciousness will solve all of the problems of this
planet and make everyone happy.
Since Krishna orders us to surrender to the bona fide
spiritual master, committing ourselves to the spiritual
master through the process known as initiation is a
necessary and vital step on the pathway to spiritual
perfection.
One does not have to be a member of ISKCON to be Krishna
conscious and preach. But if one wants to get the best
facility for becoming Krishna conscious and spreading it
all over the world, there is no better opportunity
anywhere in the world than being a member of ISKCON, the
International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
