My Life's Desire
In a Srimad Bhagavatam class on 17 December 1973 in Los Angeles Srila Prabhupada gave the following instruction:
"Who can become guru? Anyone who knows the science of Kṛṣṇa, he can become guru. That is the injunction. Yei... It doesn't matter. Kibā vipra kibā śūdra, nyāsī kene naya. He may be a brāhmaṇa, he may be a śūdra, he may be a sannyāsī, he may be a gṛhastha. It doesn't matter. He may be a European, he may be American, he may be Indian. It doesn't matter. If he knows the science, yei kṛṣṇa-tattva-vettā sei guru haya [Cc. Madhya 8.128].
So it is not limited under certain country, certain atmosphere or certain population. Kṛṣṇa consciousness is open for everyone. So therefore our request is that these Europeans and Americans who have taken to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, just become perfect in the understanding of this science and become guru and deliver the whole world."
Srila Prabhupada has written his purport to Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Madhya Lila, Chapter 16, Text 64:
"It is the duty of every disciple to carry out the order of the bona fide spiritual master and spread Lord Caitanya's message all over the world."
Therefore having received these orders from my beloved spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, my desire is that my humble attempt to push forward the Krishna consciousness movement all over the world may be 100% successful so that the whole world can now become delivered, awakened to Krishna consciousness. If this does not happen in my lifetime, I pray that I can take birth after birth until the whole world becomes Krishna conscious.
So my dear students, disciples, and readers, you kindly assist me in my humble endeavor to make the whole world Krishna conscious.
