In this brief devotional discourse, the speaker explains the central mission of the Krishna consciousness movement: to share the mercy and knowledge of Krishna with the world. The talk recounts the story of Vasudeva Vipra, a scholar who was gravely ill until Lord Caitanya healed him. When asked how he could repay this divine mercy, the Lord instructed him to disseminate Krishna consciousness. The speaker uses this anecdote to illustrate that those who have received spiritual blessings are obligated to repay the debt by teaching and spreading Krishna consciousness to those who have not yet experienced its benefits.

Chapters

And this Krishna consciousness movement consists of those who were unfortunate and have now become fortunate, and those who had the fortune of receiving mercy. Now this mercy of Krishna consciousness has to be distributed throughout the world. There was a leader called Vasudeva Vipra who was suffering from a very serious disease, and Lord Caitanya cured him of his disease. And then Vasudeva Vipra asked him, my dear Lord, you have cured me of this disease, what can I do for you return. And the Lord is like, just if you want to please me, if you want to pay back what I've done to you, go and spread this Krishna consciousness. So this is the main purpose of this Krishna Consciousness movement, to pass on this consciousness knowledge upon the Krishna Consciousness to those who do not know what kind of knowledge is really beneficial for them.
