(Viṣṇujana leads the saṅkīrtana party in Los Angeles, 1969)

"So because this Kali-yuga is very, very fallen, everyone is a śūdra. There is no brāhmaṇa, no kṣatriya, no vaiśya, therefore, the one prescription is given that, that harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam, kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva... It is very difficult to bring one to the brahminical culture, to the kṣatriya culture, to the vaiśya culture, because everything is finished, and it will be finished more and more. Therefore the only saving platform is this harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam. Then everyone will be saved. Therefore we are pushing on this movement: chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra anywhere.

And it has become practical. Even in Africa, in the village, where they have got so big, big earrings, they are also chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra. They are also chanting. Therefore the African government is a little afraid of this movement. Yes.  Anyway, that's a big story. So anywhere we don't find any difficulty. Either you go in the interior of Africa or Europe... Europe, America, we have gone into. We are sending our buses and devotees with books in the village, in the interior village, because Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted it.

    pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma
    sarvatra pracāra haibe mora nāma
    (Caitanya-bhāgavata, Antya-khaṇḍa 4.126)

('In every town and village throughout the world,' said Lord Caitanya, 'the chanting of My name will be heard.')

We are trying our bit, send devotees. And they are helping. These European, American boys, they are helping me very much. Even the girls, they are also helping. So it is very good opportunity. So to push this movement... And we are trying our best."

(Srila Prabhupada Lecture, Bombay, April 7, 1974)
