Prabhupada

Now you are sannyasi, sannyasi means responsible, you must be responsible for the spiritual progress of the devotees, to see that the right standard is being observed in all departments. Just as I am doing. Sometimes I go to the bank, sometimes keep accounts, sometimes preach, hold the class, write books, sometimes cook—sannyasi should be expert in all departments, and he should distribute his experience to others, that's all. So I think you are the right man for assisting me in this way in the European continent, and Krsna has brought you to the right place, so with great enthusiasm go forward. Thank you very much

Chaitanya

When Prakashananda Sarasvati inquired from Caitanya Mahaprabhu, “You are a sannyasi and you are not studying Vedanta, but simply chanting Hare Krishna, what kind of a sannyasi are you?” to which Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied, “My dear sir, I am a great fool. My guru saw me as the greatest fool, therefore he has chastised Me”. We know Caitanya Mahaprabhu was not a fool or a rascal but He compared Himself to a fool because we are fools. Bharata bhumite manusya janma haila jara, janma sarthaka kari kara para upakara. It is Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mission that every Indian should learn what Krishna consciousness is and preach it all over the world. That is His order. But our Indians are not taking care of it. Therefore it doesn‘t matter - Indian, European or Canadian, anyone who carries the order of Caitanya Mahaprabhu will be benefited, and be glorified. So don‘t hesitate, because the soul is neither Indian nor American. By executing the order of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu you will be glorified, the country will be glorified, and the whole world will be benefited. Thank you very much.
