Prachār (preaching) is not for prachār's sake; it is not for mundane temporary benefits. Wherever we may go by the will of the Supreme Lord Śrī Krishna, Who is All-Good, we should perform bhajan (devotional practice); we should not forget the devotional purpose of our life. Everything will remain in this world; nothing from here will go with us; only devotion to Śrī Krishna will go with us. So, it will be unwise to sacrifice eternal benefit for the sake of mundane temporary benefits. The greatest hurdle of Krishna bhakti is committal of offence at the Lotus Feet of vaiṣṇavas. We should always remember the teachings of Lord Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu.

In my opinion it will not be beneficial for our devotional spiritual elevation if we do prachār for prachār's sake. All forms of bhajan including kīrtan should be performed for the propitiation of Śrī Krishna and His devotees.

Chanting of the Glories of Śrī Krishna, His Name, Form, Attributes and Pastimes is the best form of bhakti. While performing bhakti (kīrtan bhakti), prachār will be automatic. There is no need of making separate endeavour for this.

I returned to Calcutta with our party the day before yesterday after participating in the Śrī Jhulan yātrā festival of Vrindāvana Maṭh and doing some urgent work in New Delhi.
