ISKM China devotees celebrated the Lord’s appearance with great aplomb and celebrations in the city of Guangzhou in China. Many devotees were around to celebrate the Lord’s appearance by participating in the activities of the day. May Lord Krishna and Srila Prabhupada bless them to continue this preaching mission in the most difficult of countries.

f you feel indebted to me, you should preach vigorously, as I do. It’s a sure way to repay me. Of course, it is impossible to pay the debt to the spiritual teacher, but the spiritual teacher is very pleased with this mood of the disciple. In the Bhagavad-gita it is said: vyavasayatmika buddhir, ekena kuru-nandana, “Those who stand on this path are determined to achieve the goal, and they have one goal.” Our only business is to concentrate on devotional service, bringing joy to the spiritual master. Those who have not established themselves, wander in different ways. (eka means “one” and bahu means “many”).

Srila Prabhupada to the residents of Novaya Dvaraka, August 14, 1976
