Today we are celebrating appearance day of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada went to western countries to spread the Krishna Conscious movement all across the world.
Where people not even heard about the name of Lord Rama and Krishna but by the association of a pure devotee Srila Prabhupada they became Vaishnava and completely detached from their bad habits.
Srila Prabhupada did nothing but simply repeated the message of His Guru His Divine Grace Bhakti Sidhdhanta Sarswati Thakura and words of vedic scriptures i.e. Srimad Bhagwatam, Ramayana and Bhagwad Gita.
His teaching was purely based on Vedic Scriptures and thus people accepted it very easily.
He established Iskcon (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) in 1966 with seven explicit purposes:
1. To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all people in the techniques of spiritual life in order to check the imbalance of values in life and to achieve real unity and peace in the world.
2. To propagate a consciousness of Krishna (God), as it is revealed in the great scriptures of India, Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam.
3. To bring the members of the Society together with each other and nearer to Krishna, the prime entity, thus developing the idea within the members, and humanity at large, that each soul is part and parcel of the quality of Godhead (Krishna).
4. To teach and encourage the Sankirtana movement, congregational chanting of the holy name of God, as revealed in the teachings of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
5. To erect for the members and for society at large a holy place of transcendental pastimes dedicated to the personality of Krishna.
6. To bring the members closer together for the purpose of teaching a simpler, more natural way of life.
7. With a view towards achieving the aforementioned purposes, to publish and distribute periodicals, magazines, books and other writings.
We are grateful to Srila Prabhupada who not just saved the whole world but taught Krishna Conscious teachings to us to understand real value of our life.
You always be with us in our heart from your teachings, and we remain follow it till our last breath.
Jai Srila Prabhupada.
