World-Wide ISKCON Grassroots Nāma-Saṅkīrtana Revolution

Please remember, and I beseech you again and again.

Please remember, "World-wide ISKCON Grassroots Nāma-Saṅkīrtana Revolution".

Revolution means revolution. It means we have to shed pounds and gallons and gallons of blood to get the job done.

We have to turn this movement inside out, upside down, whatever we have to do, but we have to put nāma-saṅkīrtana back into its rightful place of dignity at the forefront of our movement.

It is absolutely essential for the proper growth of our movement.

Those who have understood this are awake to the need of the hour and those who have not understood it are still sleeping. It is time to wake up and understand what is the responsibility of every man, woman and child in this movement. To take seriously that dharma which Lord Caitanya Himself inaugurated for the deliverance of all fallen conditioned souls for the rest of this kali-yuga.

There are another 427,000 years left for kali-yuga.

The yuga-dharma does not change.

The next yuga is satya-yuga and, for them, contemplative and peaceful meditation is where it's at.

But in kali-yuga, you've got to get fired up! Every one of you, fired up! Chanting and dancing from the heart, like you really mean it; like you really want Lord Caitanya’s mercy, so that you can even think, you can even hope to go back home, back to Godhead in this one lifetime.

It is not a joke, it is the real thing. So, stand up, and do what is right, do the real thing, perform nāma-saṅkīrtana, daily, every day, for as many hours as possible and you will get there. I guarantee it. Not that I guarantee it, Lord Caitanya has guaranteed it.

The soul has to go back home, back to Godhead, and the way that is going to happen is if the soul agrees to engage all of his psychophysical energies and his full heart in the performance of sneha, saṃyukta, hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana. Sneha means "with affection". Saṃyukta means "complete engagement". Full on, fired up, and back home, back to Godhead in this one lifetime.

harer nāma harer nāma
harer nāmaiva kevalam
kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva
nāsty eva gatir anyathā

[Adi 17.21]
