Translation[edit]
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

vinaśyati is destroyed.
Ones devotional service is spoiled when he becomes too
entangled in the following six activities: (1) eating more than necessary
or collecting more funds than required; (2) over-endeavoring for mundane
things that are very difficult to obtain; (3) talking unnecessarily about
mundane subject matters; (4) practicing the scriptural rules and
regulations only for the sake of following them and not for the sake of
spiritual advancement, or rejecting the rules and regulations of the
scriptures and working independently or whimsically; (5) associating with
worldly-minded persons who are not interested in Kṛṣṇa consciousness; and
(6) being greedy for mundane achievements.
Human life is meant for plain
living and high thinking. Since all conditioned living beings are under
the control of the Lords third energy, this material world is designed so
that one is obliged to work. The Supreme Personality of Godhead has three
primary energies, or potencies. The first is called antaraṅga-śakti,
or the internal potency. The second is called taṭastha-śakti,
or the marginal potency. The third is called bahiraṅga-śakti, or
the external potency. The living entities constitute the marginal potency,
and they are situated between the internal and external potencies. Being
subordinate as eternal servants of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the
jīvātmās, or atomic living entities, must remain under the
control of either the internal or external potency. When they are under
the control of the internal potency, they display their natural,
constitutional activity namely, constant engagement in the devotional
service of the Lord. This is stated in Bhagavad-gītā (9.13):

After many, many births and deaths one achieves the rare
human form of life, which, although temporary, affords one the opportunity
to attain the highest perfection. Thus a sober human being should quickly
endeavor for the ultimate perfection of life as long as his body, which is
always subject to death, has not fallen down and died. After all, sense
gratification is available even in the most abominable species of life,
whereas Krishna consciousness is possible only for a human being.
Material life essentially means
repeated birth and death. Even the lowest forms of life, such as reptiles,
insects, pigs and dogs, have ample opportunity for sense gratification.
Even ordinary houseflies have a busy sex life and thus multiply rapidly.
Human life, however, enables one to understand the Absolute Truth and is
therefore full of grave responsibility. Since the valuable human life is
not eternal, we should do the needful to achieve the highest perfection,
Krishna consciousness. Before death appears, we should seriously cultivate
our real self-interest.
One can experience Krishna
consciousness in the association of devotees of the Lord. Without their
association, one is in danger of being attracted to an impersonal
conception of life, which causes one to fall away from devotional service
to the Absolute Truth. Or, being discouraged by ones failure to
understand the Absolute Truth, one may return to the false platform of
sense gratification. In conclusion, human life is meant for cultivating
Krishna consciousness under the guidance of the experienced, self-realized
devotees of the Lord.

scriptures especially from Srimad Bhagavath Gita, Srimad Bhagavatham and other
authorized scriptures. Please come, Learn and explore tonight?
