Preaching

Prashant Mukund Das

Preaching is one of the most essential part of devotional service and always we have the tendency to give some reasons or other to avoid it or escape under the shelter that we have not read adequately and therefore not qualified for preaching. This type of tendencies makes us lazy and lethargic and thereby faith in the shastras also dwindles in due course of time.


Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has said, "Yāre dekha, tāre kaha ‘kṛṣṇa’-upadeśa". This is a very important statement to meditate upon and we can see in the pages of Srimad Bhagavatam the exalted devotee Prahlad Maharaj while preaching to his demoniac friends gives one of the most important instructions for them to preach the message of the Lord and thereby the Supreme Lord can be satisfied.


SB 7.6.24

tasmāt sarveṣu bhūteṣu dayāṁ kuruta sauhṛdam

bhāvam āsuram unmucya yayā tuṣyaty adhokṣajaḥ


Therefore, my dear young friends born of demons, please act in such a way that the Supreme Lord, who is beyond the conception of material knowledge, will be satisfied. Give up your demoniac nature and act without enmity or duality. Show mercy to all living entities by enlightening them in devotional service, thus becoming their well-wishers.
