Creating a Vedic world within the world of Kali
Creating a family with spiritual values ..
His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has made an attempt to use the educational systems of the Vedas and create a world free from the ignorance of scientific materialism ,after all a world that does not understand dualism is a world of sophisticated animals who exploit hunt and kill in sophisticatedand underhand ways . In forming ISKCON AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada , the Vedas is being brought to light . The idea is that everyone can live in a harmonized atmosphere where differences are respected and facilities that everyone needs, including the creatures of the earth ,can all be easily obtained and shared .In order for this to be achieved the intelligentsia must be prominent and recognised for who they are in every feild. Different classes of men have specific qualities , for instance a business man can only think of profit , thats good , but such persons are clueless when it comes to how to govern or protect society. ISKCON is based on the Srimad Bhagavatam, Bhagavad Gita, as well as the eighteen puranas that bring a natural and systematic education through its various cultures. This also naturally allows for all the specific needs of a ” multicultural ” society , where differences can be lived out in harmony.
Some people may openly criticize ISKCON, or Gaudia Vaisnava societies for their efforts, and immature thinkers probably dont understand the significance of their work and their long-term vision. Bringing Devi varna ashram within a modern world is the goal , and it’s a long-term goal .
Traditional ashrams or religious cultures , generally have women and men within their own settings .The Nuns and Monks live separately all over the world . Family life was absent, and interactions with society were limited.
In creating ISKCON Srila AC, Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada had the vision that the whole world should be given the opportunity to practice deep Krishna consciousness every varna and every ashram included . In so doing , ISKCON and Prabhupada have successfully brought Krishna consciousness opportunities to one and all in very practical ways all over the world. The revolution has begun, but we need to learn more .
If Prabhupada had created traditional Ashram systems , many aspects of society would not have been included in the cultivation of Krishna consciousness . Currently, it’s witnessed that ISKCON is successful and is fast permeating everywhere in the world. Its influences are growing in all of the varnas and ashrams.
Earlier days in ISKCON were very blissful and revolutionary but particularly difficult in many respects . Young inexperienced leaders had a lot of responsibilities , and many couldn’t manage well .
Consequences of failure can be problematic . There is no excuse for irresponsible and harmful behaviour, but we can not assume the utopian dream that all is rosey as soon as someone walks into an Ashram . Risks are there, and now manage a lot better , as in all religious institutions as well as other types of institutions.
Certainly, Prabhupada, through his preaching methods , has opened up the whole world , every single aspect of society can now access a Krishna consciousness experience, and the success of his mission is astounding.
