everyone hear about Krishna

Imported quote 18301 If we... This is the process. If we hear about Krsna... Sthane sthitaḥ sruti-gatam tanu-vah-manobhiḥ. You remain in your position. Don't change. Either you are brahmana or sūdra or grhastha or sannyasi, it doesn't matter. But you hear about Krsna. This is the process. This is the first-class process.
(More...) So we are opening hundreds and thousands... Not thousands; we have opened about 102 centers all over the world. But we want to open thousands. But we are in need of assistance. But nobody is coming. Anyway, the Europeans, Americans, some of them have joined. Still, we required many thousands, because Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission is prthivite ache yata nagaradi grama: He wants to spread this Krsna consciousness movement not in this city or that city, but nagaradi grama. Just like here we have opened a center in Gandhigram. But in Bombay such hundreds and thousands centers can be opened, it is so big city. Similarly, there are other cities. It is required. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission.
(More...) And that is the duty of the Indians, bharata-vasi. That is also Caitanya Mahaprabhu's desire.
(More...) This Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mercy, krsna-prema distribution, is the best, topmost para-upakara, welfare activity. Therefore every Indian should take up this job, bharata-bhūmite manusya-janma haila yara. So every Indian should understand the philosophy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu or the philosophy of Krsna, Krsna consciousness, the same philosophy. Krsna says His philosophy is sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg 18.66]: "Just surrender to Me. I will give you protection." And Caitanya Mahaprabhu's philosophy is the same. He is Krsna, but as He has appeared as devotee, He says, yare dekha, tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa [Cc Madhya 7.128]: "Whomever you meet, you Indian, bharata-vasi, you just try to understand this Krsna philosophy, Bhagavad-gita, and make your life successful and go door to door and say this 'krsna'-upadesa." What is 'krsna'-upadesa? Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja. Bas. You become guru. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission.
(More...) So we should give chance to people to hear about Krsna. Therefore we are opening so many centers. Please come and hear about Krsna. Then gradually you will assimilate. Because Krsna and Krsna's words, they are not different-absolute. When we hear about Krsna, that means we are directly associating with Krsna. And the more you associate with Krsna, the more you become purified. Hrdy antaḥ-stho hy abhadrani vidhunoti [SB 1.2.17]. Krsna helps in washing your dirty things within the heart. Ceto-darpana-marjanam [Cc Antya 20.12]. This is the process of cleansing the mirror of the heart. Mirror, when it isThe same thing, Caitanya Mahaprabhu says. Then, when we are free, tat-paratvena nirmalam [Cc Madhya 19.170], you become purified, we become purified. Then immediately we revive our Krsna consciousness and engage ourself in Krsna's service.
