Combine Science Preaching with Cultural Programs

Then he said that I should go to Russia. The Russian people like Vedic culture, and I should be accompanied by a cultural group. I should speak about the science of Krishna Consciousness and it should be followed by a cultural program. At that time Sudama Maharaja was there. He was the head of a drama party called Vaikuntha players. They used to do plays on Mahabharata, Ramayana. Srila Prabhupada said Sudama must take his cultural group with me. I will do science preaching and Sudama will do cultural programs, and these two should be combined. Earlier in 1970-73 also Srila Prabhupada had said that our preaching should always be accompanied by a Sankirtan party. This was in Los Angeles, in one Srimad Bhagavatam lecture. At that time Visnujana Maharaja had a group. As soon as Srila Prabhupada's class is over, they will chant kirtana. After the class Visnujana Maharaja came up to me and said, 'Svarupa Damodar, I am ready. Whenever you are ready, I will go with you. You speak on science and I will do Sahkirtana".
