bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma yāra
janma sārthaka kari' kara para-upakāra
(Cc. Ādi 9.41)
"All Indians should seriously take up the cult of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and should perfect their lives by adopting the process of devotional service. After perfecting their lives, they should broadcast this message all over the world for the welfare of all human beings [para-upakāra]."
pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma
sarvatra pracāra haibe mora nāma
[CB Antya-khanda 4.126]
"In every town and village, the chanting of My name will be heard."
Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu wanted His followers to move all over the world to preach in every town and village.
Srila Prabhupada, in his books, letters and lectures, has stressed the importance of Sankirtan; its being the most important of all the yagnas in this age of Kali and the need for one to preach the glories of the Supreme Lord to one and all.
ISKCON devotees and temples sometimes go through the challenge of not succeeding in getting new contacts / members / devotees for their regular programs. One can observe the phenomenon wherein there are committed / dedicated ISKCON devotees; but there are no new devotees / members for cultivation resulting in frustration. Most often, the few existing devotees feel the burden of rendering all the services and eventually feel burnt-out.
On the other hand, we also get to hear the success stories that how few devotees started preaching in a location and brought in several hundreds of souls into Krishna Consciousness and all of them are joyfully engaged in rendering services voluntarily.
One may wonder what is the missing link ? How can we identify new contacts ? How can we kindle the interest for Krishna Consciousness in them? For the existing devotees, how do we keep them enthused on an ongoing basis ? How can we be a catalyst in helping them grow in their spiritual path ?
If these are some of the questions that you ponder on, then we recommend you to enrol for the Webinar on "6C Strategy for developing and retaining Contacts" that deals in each of these questions.
This webinar is conducted by HG Chaitanya Avatari Das and HG Rasmayi Devi Dasi who have both been practicing Krishna Consciousness for more than 30 years and hold senior positions within various ISKCON bodies. This seminar has been presented in various countries such as India, China, Taiwan, Philippines, USA, Canada, Switzerland, Italy and Australia.
