A true guru is known by complete surrender to Krishna and by sharing Krishna consciousness with all.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: ...in Europe and America, but they haven't got house like this. Have you got? Sudāmā: No. Prabhupāda: Then? Spriritual advancement. That is India's philosophy.
Throughout the whole universe. Not only on this planet but throughout the whole universe. India has got the facility—Bhārata-varṣa. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma haila yāra.
[Cc Ādi 9.41]. If somebody has got this opportunity of to take birth in India, Bhārata-varṣa, he is the right person to distribute the real knowledge, para-upakāra. Otherwise they are in darkness. Bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma jāra.
So, Jayapatākā Mahārāja, explain this. You have got practical experience. Jayapatākā: Bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma haila yāra. Those people who are born on the sacred land of Bhārata-varṣa, they should perfect their life, janma sārthaka kari', and help others. Purpose of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is to perfect one's own spiritual knowledge and then to go and help other people.
So people that are born here in Bhārata-varṣa have a special facility because of the Vedic culture, Āryan culture, to perfect their lives. And just as Śrīla Prabhupāda has gone all over the world spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness—one person from this Bhārata-varṣa has been able to do so much—if other pure devotees would come and preach as Śrīla Prabhupāda has done, then how many unlimited amount of fallen souls could receive the benefit of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. [break] Prabhupāda: ...in so-called transcendental meditation, go to the Himalaya and go to the forest. We are not interested in all this nonsense.
Our only business is to spread Bhagavad-gītā as it is, door to door, town to town, city to city. We are not going to seclusion. Prahlāda Mahārāja said, "This is professional bluff: 'I am going to the Himalaya. I am going to the forest.'" Prahlāda Mahārāja condemns, that "These are professional bluffs." Or they may be sincere, but still, they are trying for their own salvation.
Prahlāda Mahārāja said, "I am not interested in that sal... I am interested for everyone's salvation. Everyone must go back to home, back to..." That is Vaiṣṇava. Not that "For my own salvation I go to Himalaya or in the forest and transcendental meditation," nonsense.
