When the guru
is fully satisfied that prasadam distribution is going on, he is very much
pleased, and he engages himself in the devotional service of the Lord by
chanting and dancing. (JSD 4.2)
Gauranga Sundara Prabhu and
Tejal in the forefront of the prasadam distribution effort. |
If
you eat bhagavat-prasadam, then gradually you become spiritualized; it has
this potency. Therefore it is said that realization of God begins with the
tongue. Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau: [Brs. 1.2.234] If you engage your
tongue in the service of the Lord, then you realize God. So what is that
engagement of the tongue? You chant the holy name of the Lord, and you
take this prasadam, remnants of food offered to the Lord. Then you become
self-realized, God-realized-by these two methods. You don't have to be
very highly educated or be a philosopher, a scientist, or a rich man to
realize God. If you just sincerely engage your tongue in the service of
the Lord, you will realize Him. It is so simple. It is not very difficult.
(JSD 4.2) |

Now, this worship
of Krishna... The whole day is engaged for Krishna's mangala-aratika,
for Krishna's chanting, for Krishna's cooking, for Krishna's prasadam
distribution, so many ways. So our devotees all over the world-there are a
102 centers-they are simply engaged in Krishna consciousness. This is our
propaganda, always, no other business. We don't do any business but we are
spending at least twenty-five lakhs of rupees, twenty-five lakhs of rupees
every month, but Krishna is supplying. Tesam nityabhiyuktanam yoga-ksemam
vahamy aham [Bg. 9.22]. If you remain Krishna consciousness, fully
dependent on Krishna , then there will be no scarcity.

I
started this Krishna business with forty rupees. Now we have got forty crores of rupees. Is there any businessman in the whole world within ten
years with forty rupees he can increase forty crores? There is no example.
And ten thousand men, they are eating prasadam daily. So this is Krishna consciousness. Yoga-ksemam vahamy aham [Bg. 9.22]. As soon as you
become Krishna conscious, you simply depend on Him and work sincerely and
then Krishna will supply everything. Everything. (SB lecture, Vrindavana
