Karma-yoga TEXT 15 karma brahmodbhavam viddhi brahmaksara-samudbhavam tasmat sarva-gatam brahma nityam yajne pratisthitam SYNONYMS karma--work; brahma--Vedas; udbhavam--produced from; viddhi--one  should know; brahma--the Vedas; aksara--the Supreme Brahman  (Personality of Godhead); samudbhavam--directly manifested; tasmat--therefore; sarva-gatam--all-pervading; brahma--transcendence; nityam--eternally; yajne--in  sacrifice; pratisthitam--situated. TRANSLATION Regulated activities are  prescribed in the Vedas, and the Vedas are directly manifested from the Supreme  Personality of Godhead. Consequently the all-pervading Transcendence is  eternally situated in acts of sacrifice. PURPORT Yajnartha-karma, or the necessity  of work for the satisfaction of Krsna only, is more expressly stated in this  verse. If we have to work for the satisfaction of the yajna-purusa,  Visnu, then we must find out the direction of work in Brahman, or the  transcendental Vedas. The Vedas are therefore codes of working  directions. Anything performed without the direction of the Vedas is  called vikarma, or unauthorized or sinful work. Therefore, one should  always take direction from the Vedas to be saved from the reaction of  work. As one has to work in ordinary life by the direction of the state,  similarly, one has to work under direction of the supreme state of the Lord.  Such directions in the Vedas are directly manifested from the breathing  of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is said: asya mahato bhutasya  nisvasitam etad yad rg-vedo yajur-vedah samavedo 'tharvan girasah. "The four Vedas--namely the Rg-veda, Yajur-veda, Sama-veda and Atharva-veda--are all emanations from the breathing of the great  Personality of Godhead." The Lord, being omnipotent, can speak by breathing air,  as it is confirmed in the Brahma-samhita, for the Lord has the  omnipotence to perform through each of His senses the actions of all other  senses. In other words, the Lord can speak through His breathing, and He can  impregnate by His eyes. In fact, it is said that He glanced over material nature  and thus fathered all living entities. After creating or impregnating the  conditioned souls into the womb of material nature, He gave His directions in  the Vedic wisdom as to how such conditioned souls can return home, back to  Godhead. We should always remember that the conditioned souls in material nature  are all eager for material enjoyment. But the Vedic directions are so made that  one can satisfy one's perverted desires, then return to Godhead, having finished  his so-called enjoyment. It is a chance for the conditioned souls to attain  liberation; therefore the conditioned souls must try to follow the process of yajna by becoming Krsna conscious. Even those who cannot follow the Vedic  injunctions may adopt the principles of Krsna consciousness, and that will take  the place of performance of Vedic yajnas, or karmas.

The main function of ISKCON and Gaudiya math is to perform the sankirtana yajgna , it comes in 2 forms transcendental bookdistribution and as Harinama sankirtana .When Krsna is pleased by these performances of Yajna only will ISKCON and Gaudiya math prosper and the preaching mission will become a success.This is our main preaching in Kali yuga.Since Krsna is all pervading He  knows when we engages in these acts of sankirtana yajgna, without doing the sankirtana yagna life is not a success.Many ISKCON festivals are not held for the public, but the aim is to do more and more outside chanting and interest the world in chanting Hare Krsna and surrendering to Krsna.Not to institutional consciouness but to Krsna ..the spirit of sectaranism has and will destroy bookdistribution in ISKCON.
