Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has , under the directions of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , who haa gave directions of how to practically preach Krishna consciousness in the world whilst still following the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas headed by Srila Rupa and Ragganatha das Goswami’s, who exclusively served Nityananda prabhu and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu .As such , Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has successfully gotten a significant portion of the world to think and act for Krishna . Inevitably the movement increases day by day , hour by hour , the trancendental pure sound of Krishna’s absolute names are resounding all over the world at every second. Krishna consciousness cannot be stopped, it brings immense benefits individually, communally , nationally and internationally .Both the peripheral teaching of the Vedas and the cor esoteric truths will shake the global conglomerate libertine world. Philosophical thoughts , along with scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis, will be naturally swept away by force of higher thinking based on the sciences of dualism, matter, and consciousness.
Practically speaking, you can not give full God consciousness to anybody immediately as some religious groups proclaim.
It’s generally a gradual process , in fact so gradual that it’s carried on from previous lives , although it can , especially by Mahāprabhu’s teachings , be very quickly learned and immediately advanced spiritual consciousness can develop . Certainly , its clear and evident, that by the special and immediate mercy of Nityananda prabhu and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu Krishna anyones Krishna consciousness is greatly accelerated . Pure Krishna consciousness is a very rare occurrence , although access to it via the pure devotees, and their Sastra sanga can be easily accessed and by their mercy . By the mercy of the Holy names, Krishna directly appears in one form or another .
Religion without philosophy is sentiment and philosophy without religion is speculation., says Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami, who has given the Vedic teachings in the form of a science of self realisation . The greater Vedas recommend gradual change of lifestyle , these are all related within the Srimad Bhagavatam and Prahlada Maharaja clearly defines the progressive Vedic societies. As realisations increase, which are reflected in the real authentic form of a Divine Varna Ashram system, pure Krishna consciousness is arrived at .
