Are we really in ISKCON?

Are we really in ISKCON?

Dear Devotees
Please accept my humble obaisences
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Vow, what a crazy title we may ask? Narayana Maharaja has made the point the Srila Prabhupada did not invent KC,
surely this is a fact, though had it not been for Srila Prabhupadas preaching and for those who sincerly
tried to follow him since the last 35 years, there would be no International society for Krishna consciouness.
But lets look at this careful
, are we rally Krsna consciouss?Do we chant Hare Krishna , minimum 16
or even minimum 64 rounds, or better 24 hours a day ?Because
in Kali yuga there is no other way to become KC than constant chanting.Yes there is 64 angas of Bhakti.Most of them are
followed simply by attending a morning program.The real thing is to remember Krishna, to the degree we remember Krishna
we are in KC, to the degree we forget we are not really in Krishna consciouness.Being in ISKCON means 24 hours aday to
remember Krishna, that transcends everything.So to what degree we are fully KC we are members of ISKCON.
Sarvopadi vinirmuktam...If we have ulterior motives, our lack of KC is there.And we are then not really in ISKCON.
Srila PRabhupada set the bar hight, remembering Krishna 24 hours a day and preach, distributing his books ,
and doing Harinama.But we are so unfortunate we have no attraction for constant chanting, bookdistribution and Harinama
or japa.This reminds us of Gaura Pahun sung by Srila Narottama das Thakura, why I have no attraction for this sankirtana
movement?Why will I not set out preaching , but comfort?
Lets all become true members of ISKCON (see also SB 7.9.44 aand purport)
your servant
