Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"So we are giving chance to everyone: Never mind you are third class, fourth class, fifth class, tenth class. Whatever you are, you come to become first class. We are inviting everyone. We have no distinction. Kṛṣṇa has no such distinction. That Kṛṣṇa says:
'My dear Arjuna, if somebody takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, never mind he is born in an abominable family, 'striyo vaiśyās tathāśūdrās', or in the human society, less-intelligent class of men like śūdrā or women. Never mind. Whatever he may be or she may be, if he takes or she takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, te 'pi yānti parāṁ gatim they are also elevated to the platform wherefrom he can go back to home, back to Godhead.' So for us there is no restriction. We don't say that 'You don't come'. We invite everyone, 'Take prasādam, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa'. That is our program." |
