Chant Hare Krishna, and be happy

Satsvarupa Dasa: According to Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy, Srila Prabhupada may be in Goloka Vrindavana in the form of a gopa directly playing with Krishna, or he may be in the form of a manjari assisting the gopis who are arranging for the conjugal pastimes, of Radha-Krishna, or He may be moving in Lord Caitanya's sankirtana movement. Just as the eternally liberated Narada Muni travels sometimes in the spiritual world and sometimes in the material world, playing his vina and helping conditioned souls by glorifying Krishna and giving relevant instructions, so Srila Prabhupada may be doing like that. I do not know. I do know I had a very definite pastime connection with His Divine Grace when he came to us at 26 Second Avenue. A tiny, conditioned entity cannot expect to know very much about confidential devotional service. Furthermore, he should be satisfied to carry out the orders of the spiritual master as given in this world. So what is the basic message of Prabhupada? The very first thing he said to us was, "Chant Hare Krishna, and be happy." And for reading, Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam are all we need. Live with devotees, cooperate and push on Krishna consciousness. These are our goals and this is our work. Only by faithfully prosecuting these orders can we realize Prabhupada's promise that we will think of Krishna twenty-four hours a day.
