to BVKS Sanga, (Krsna) Katha, (ISKCON) Lipa Dalmacija, Prabhupada Said
The Krsna consciousness movement is teaching this higher knowledge of
retiring from materialistic life to return to Godhead, but unfortunately
many parents are not very satisfied with this movement. Aside from the
parents of our students, many businessmen are also dissatisfied because we
teach our students to abandon intoxication, meat-eating, illicit sex and
gambling. If the Krsna consciousness movement spreads, the so-called
businessmen will have to close their slaughterhouses, breweries and
cigarette factories. Therefore they are also very much afraid. However, we
have no alternative than to teach our disciples to free themselves from
materialistic life. We must instruct them in the opposite of material life
to save them from the repetition of birth and death.
Srila Prabhupada
