By Viṣṇu-jana Svāmī

The urgent need of modern society is to realize the actual human mission, which is for man to develop his eternal loving relationship with the Supreme Lord Krsna. This is the direct, one-stroke method for solving the complex social, economic and ethical problems which besiege us. Just as by watering the root of a tree one naturally provides water for all its leaves and branches, so by serving Krsna, who is the root of human society and indeed of all existence, one simultaneously renders the most valuable service to all living beings. One who has realized this simple understanding is able to act in perfection for the benefit of all.

The outlines presented below were originally used to accompany visual displays portraying major problems in all levels of society and illustrating their solutions through Krsna consciousness.

Visnu-jana Svami, an initiated disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svami Prabhupada, accepted the renounced order of life (sannyasa) from His Divine Grace in July of 1970. He has traveled extensively on preaching engagements throughout the southern United States and is now touring with ISKCON's First Transcendental Exposition. The title "svami" denotes one who is able to expertly control his senses by engaging them in the service of Krsna.
