Glory to the Sri Krishna Sankirtana, which cleanses the heart of all the dust accumulated for years and extinguishes the fire of conditional life, of repeated birth and death. This sankirtana movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge. It increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it enables us to fully taste the nectar for which we are always anxious.

This verse indicates a process of cleansing and, as a result , a systematic development of realised knowledge an outcome of the carefully carried out  cleansing . It does not indicate an academic exercise where one thing is lived in the head but not in the heart .This sankirtana movement is all inclusive in terms of its attraction beyond all borders and cultures,  but its all-inclusive nature will prevade and  includes every area of learning , science,  arts , social sciences , political science economics.  This is because a pure consciousness that has realised itself as something beyond matter views the world differently and acts within the world with a different perspective,  priorities change , the self-evident truth of the equality of all beings brings  respect and humility. Leaders of humans currently are difficult to find , because when one is in darkness the light is not seen , ignorance breeds ignorance.

The ultimate” param gatim” goal of life is spiritual consciousness and spiritual consciousness that has realised  all phases of spiritual consciousness , this means ,  the all pervasiveness of Divinity,  the localised aspect of Divinity , and the personality of Godhead .  The benedictions of the Sankirtana movement bring one into a direct relationship with Divinity .  Krishna in His most complete aspects , within Goloka Vrndavana along with Srimati Radharani and Balarama and all His friends and family. The full spiritual varigatedness is revealed,  the origins of this reflected world are revealed, and the origins of the broad and extensive multidimensional universes which are exhibiting different aspects from the original reflection .
