Krishna Consciousness: The Sankirtan Movementby His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaSend this story to a friend The International Society for Krishna Consciousness [popularly known as the Hare Krishna Movement and now carried on by disciples of Srila Prabhupada under the banner of The Bhaktivedantas and World Sankirtan Party] is a bona fide religious society strictly following the principles described in the Vedic scriptures and practiced in India for thousands of years. Our basic beliefs are as follows:
Our basic mission is to propagate the sankirtan movement (chanting of the holy names of God) all around the world, as was recommended by the incarnation of the Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. People in this age are very much reluctant to understand God consciousness because of their unfortunate condition of life. They are working hard day and night simply for sense gratification. But this transcendental vibration of sankirtan will knock at the door of their hearts for spiritual awakening. Therefore, they should be given the chance for this opportunity. It is not recommended that a Krishna conscious devotee go into seclusion to chant by himself and thereby gain salvation for himself alone. Our duty and religious obligation is to go out into the streets where the people in general can hear the chanting and see the dancing. We have already seen practically how by this process many, many boys and girls of America and Europe have been saved from the immoral practices of this age and have now dedicated their lives to the service of Krishna. It is hoped that the government authorities will cooperate with our sankirtan parties in enabling us to perform sankirtan on the streets. To do this it is necessary that we be able to chant the names of Krishna, dance, play the mridanga drum, request donations for our society’s journal, and on occasion, sit down with the mridanga drum. As devotees of Lord Krishna, it is our duty to teach the people how to love God and worship Him in their daily life. This is the aim and destination of human life.
