Boldly Push Forward the Krishna Consciousness Movement

In Krishna's service we should always be bold. Since our mission is to achieve cultural world domination, to enlighten the entire world in the science of Krishna consciousness, we must always be the boldest people on this planet while we are facing and challenging the myriad of nonsense misguided philosophies, which are so prominent now all over the world and completely ruining people's lives. Our mission is to firmly establish in the conviction of all that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and that we are all His eternal servants. Since this and only this will bring true and lasting happiness to everyone, this is the highest welfare work, and we must always be boldly undeterred when we present the sublime teachings of the Bhagavad-gita to the people of this world.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Instant Liberation from Material Existence?

I have heard from devotees that one can get liberation by:
a. One glimpse of Lord Jagannatha during the Ratha Yatra festival.
b. One dip in the sacred Radha Kunda pond.
c. One Govardhan Parikrama (circumambulation of Govardhana Hill)

My question is:

Liberation is so easy and simple? Or there are other parameters which are to be considered? Or is it the prevailing level of consciousness?

Answer: That Depends on Your Level of Krishna Consciousness

Yes it depends on one's level of Krishna consciousness. There is no doubt that these items of bhakti certainly have the potency to give one instant liberation from this material existence. However just as the elephant who after bathing in the river dries himself off by throwing dirt over his body, after engaging in one of these activities if one again thinks himself to be the enjoyer, he remains entangled in this material existence. So even though these practices can liberate one from samsara, the wheel of birth of death, that liberation depends on in what state of consciousness one has executed these activities. So just focus on chanting at least 16 good rounds of the Hare Krishna mahamantra japa mala every day along with the strict avoidance of illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling. This is how you will become quickly and easily qualified to be liberated from this material existence.
