Srila Prabhupada stressed the urgency to surrender to Krishna. Every line of his books, every sentence of his lectures, you would hear him urgently, just pleading with you and me, to take Krishna Consciousness seriously. Death, tragedy can come at any moment. And the greatest tragedy is that our faith is stolen away by maya and her various representatives which can come in many forms. There is no comfortable position when we are secure in material existence.

We are like a drop of water on a lotus leaf. Our life is compared to that. Our position in society, our health, our family members, our friends, everything in this world that exists is like a drop of water on a lotus leaf. It is going to fall and we don’t know when. It often happens at the least expected moment.

Srila Prabhupada used the example of the goats that are on the way to the slaughter house. The slaughter house person is very expert at pacifying the goats so that they very happily and peacefully go to the chopping block by providing nice grass. The line of goats, they are just eating grass and they are enjoying and the closer they get, the grass gets nicer and nicer. The goats in front of them are getting their heads cut off, but they don’t see that. They just see the grass. Srila Prabhupada said, “That is how maya is orchestrating the entire material existence. Don’t be a foolish goat just trying to be happy and enjoy the comforts of this world, the comforts of family life or a nice little floor in the brahmacari ashram”.

We should know that any facility to enjoy in this material world is maya’s trick to somehow or other distract away from the urgent need to be Krishna conscious. Listen carefully to Srila Prabhupada’s voice when you listen to his lectures. There is always that deep sense of trying to give us the feeling of urgency. It has to be done now! We have to take shelter of Krishna! We have to surrender to Krishna! We have to give up our petty disagreements and work together because the world is being condemned by the direction of modern society.

In this mood of urgency we humbly present a nonstop flow of krishna katha through the most efficient audio and video communication technologies available.
