Srila Prabhupada’s seven purposes of ISKCON in reference to congregational development By His Holiness Romapada Swami (part 1) 1. To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all people in the techniques of spiritual life in order to check the imbalance of values in life and to achieve real unity and peace in the world. • In general, persons very involved in the worldly aspects of modern society can identify more readily with grihastha devotees who are showing by example how one can follow Krishna consciousness seriously while simultaneously fulfilling their family and career duties and responsibilities. Outreach programs like Bhakti-vriksha, Nama-hatta and other study programs give the members of society at large an opportunity to associate openly and closely with such grihastha devotees. Thus, it becomes easy for them to practice Krishna consciousness in their lives, too. This is both a natural and a very effective way to systematically educate society at large in the techniques of spiritual life.
