Lecture SB 02.01.11 - Los Angeles
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So Śukadeva Gosvāmī gives his judgment. Nṛpa, "My dear king, for all these classes of men," nirṇītam, "it is already decided." This is Vedic conclusion. You haven't got to search out. You have to take information from the authority. So here Śukadeva Gosvāmī is authority, that "For all these classes of men, this is decided conclusively." What is that? Harer nāmānukīrtanam (SB 2.1.11): chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Either you are jñānī, either you are yogī, either you are karmī, you desiring something or not desiring something, but you have got your objective, perfection of life. So if you want that, then chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare."

"So my advice to you: I am old man. So even I may not return, you shall continue this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. This is eternal, and I shall request you to keep the standard as I have already given you the program: the Deity worship, the kīrtana, the street saṅkīrtana, distribution of literature, books. You should carry on this program with great enthusiasm. That is my request."
