Preaching the Bhagavad-gita!

Verse 1.5.36: Continuing Purport today..

Krishna says in Bhagavad-gita that anybody who helps spread the message of this Bhagavad-gita, who does the preaching, he is very dear to me and at the end of the life, he will come to back to Me.

That's why preaching of this Bhagavad-gita is so very important. But how can we preach if we don't follow. So we should follow nicely: chant very sincerely, read Srila Prabhupada's books, take care of deities, eat only Krishna prasad. All this is nice preaching. A person who is washing the pots in the temple, who is doing deity worship, all these form preaching. This will help us change the heart of anyone who might see all this.

Our income: 50% for Krishna, 25% for personal emergencies, 25% for family maintenance.
Instruction is, preach nicely, serve Krishna to the best of your ability.

Bali Maharaj donated everything to the Lord. We should follow in footsteps of such devotees. And of course, we should not imitate what we are not. So we should genuinely pray to Krishna to help us in His mission. We should be very strict with ourselves, but lenient with others. When anyone newly comes to the temple, we don't talk about the 4 regulative principles. Just simply ask them to chant, that itself will help them purify their heart and come closer to Krishna.

True progress in Bhakti: When we listen to our paramatma, He will guide us with his instructions. That will give us realizations. But how can we listen to our paramatma, only when our sadhana is very good. That will only help us listen to the paramatma.
