In a lecture recorded in Los Angeles, on December 23, 1968, Srila Prabhupada adds, “We are, however, misled by persons and leaders who have very little connection with God, or Krishna. Some of them are denying the existence of God; some of them are falsely trying to place themselves in the place of God; some of them are in favor of the impersonal feature of God; and last, some of them, without being able to reach any right conclusion, are accepting the ultimate goal of life as void, or zero, in utter hopelessness and frustration.

 

“But Krishna consciousness is solid ground for understanding Krishna, or God, directly by the simple method of chanting the holy name of God, or Krishna. Misled by blind leaders, the followers who themselves are blind have failed to achieve the desired success, but here is a method called by the name Krishna consciousness which is directly offered by Krishna, and the instructions are plainly described in the Bhagavad-gita, given to us five thousand years ago, and again confirmed by Him in the form of Lord Caitanya five hundred years ago.

 

“This Krishna consciousness movement is a great art of life, very easy and sublime. This Krishna consciousness movement gives you everything you want, without any artificial endeavor. It is transcendentally colorful and full of transcendental pleasure. We prosecute these Krishna consciousness activities through singing, dancing, eating, and talking philosophy received through the authorized disciplic succession, and therefore it gives us everything we want, without any artificial change of our natural instincts.

 

“This consciousness is there in you, but your consciousness is now dirty, and what you have to do now is to cleanse it from all dirty things and make it clear Krishna consciousness by the pleasant method of chanting the glorified holy name of God: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.”

 

In that lecture recorded in April 1968, Srila Prabhupada advises, “This chanting of Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is a transcendental vibration or sound. Sound is the origin of all creation. So this transcendental sound--if you vibrate, you will understand very quickly this philosophy of Krishna consciousness.

 

“And there is no loss on your part. Suppose you chant Hare Krishna; you do not lose anything. But if there is any gain, why don't you try it? We simply request you with folded hands that you kindly chant Hare Krishna. We are simply requesting you. We're not asking you, ‘Pay us something or suffer something or be educated or be an engineer or be a lawyer--then come to us.’ Never mind what you are. Stay in your position. Simply try to chant these sixteen words: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. You can try for one week. And there are no hard and fast rules. You can chant anywhere and everywhere. While walking, you can chant. While driving, you can chant. Nobody is going to tax: ‘You are chanting--give me this tax.’ It is very easy.”
