create sadhus

Imported quote 18142 So it is very, I mean to say, sincere to avoid the company of asadhu. But at the present moment it is very difficult to find out the association of sadhu. Therefore our teeny effort is, this Krsna consciousness movement, to create an association of the sadhus so people may take advantage of this association, and then his life becomes liberated. And that is the aim and object of this association. It has no other object. People may say so many nonsense things, but our only object is that, as... Therefore we have given the name "Association of Krsna conscious person." Krsna conscious means sadhu. Because Krsna says,
(More...) Imported quote 18169 So everything can be attained very nicely and easily simply by this sadhu-sahga. Sadhu-sahga [Cc Madhya 22.83]. Therefore we repeatedly say that we are trying to create some sadhu so that in different parts of the world they will preach Krsna consciousness, and people will be able to associate with them, and they will become purified. This is Krsna consciousness movement, that sadhu-sahga. It is very essential. People are suffering on account of being contaminated by the tamo-guna and rajo-guna, becoming entangled simply by lusty desires always, just like cats and dogs. So they are becoming more and more entangled. Unfortunately, they do not know that there is life after death, but they do not know what kind of life is going to happen next after death. They are blind, andha. Andha yathandhair upaniyamanaḥ [SB 7.5.31].
(More...) He wants that in every village, every town of the whole world, there may be a center of Krsna consciousness so that people will take advantage of it and they will also become sadhu. This is the mission of Krsna consciousness. So the sadhus have been described in different way:
(More...) You have boldly and alone accepted the awesome task of redirecting the foolish apelike men collectively known as human society. With your purified vision you have penetrated the hearts of men and cut the knots of transient attachments, giving us an opportunity to realize our present diseased condition and our eternal position of dependency on Krsna. Who but You Divine Grace could dare to single-handedly denounce without reservation everything that lacks connection through service to the supreme proprietor, Sri Krsna. As you have repeatedly said, "Our test is very simple; you simply ask someone if he accepts Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If he says no, then immediately you know that he is a mūḍha, foolish like an ass, rascal." Having rebelled against the enjoyment of the Supreme Lord, everyone in this conditional world of birth and death is falsely thinking themselves independent, making plans which are doomed. Who but Your Divine Grace would have the courage and compassion to repeatedly label these foolish mūḍhas in the category of hogs, dogs, camels and asses, simply to awaken them against their will to the responsibility of human life? It is by your divinely inspired efforts that in this insane misdirected society there stands a genuine hope of a revolution in the hearts of men. You alone can bring the real standard in all spheres of human endeavor. Like a physician, you see all in this world as diseased on account of forgetfulness of devotional service to Sri Krsna. You clearly see the suicidal course in rejecting the cure and therefore you are traversing this planet with hopes of delivering all the fallen souls. One who rejects the medicine of hari-nama, those who are faithless, must return to this dangerous world of repeated birth and death, mrtyu-samsara-vartmani. [Bg 9.3] What benefit will there be for these mūḍhas if in the next life they are going to become dogs?
