August 5: There are two types of bhagavat: book bhagavat and devotee bhagavat. We follow the book bhagavat by reading it and follow the devotee bhagavat by following his instructions.
In India, so many mayavada philosophies and demigod worship. Polytheism is prevalent everywhere. Prabhuji is recommending that please never ever leave this path of Bhakti. Whether we can change somebody or not, please maintain yourself in this path. There is nothing like Krishna Consciousness. It is so difficult being outside of Krishna Consciousness.
In India, for many people Krishna is just another God. Since they have never read Bhagavad-gita. They have some heart, they utilize it in Krishna's service, but do not completely understand that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They don't have faith on bhakti, they have faith on something unknown fearing that they will loose everything. So they do not understand the finer concepts of bhakti, spirit soul.
We have to develop the taste for Krishna by reading Srimad Bhagavatam. We have to develop love for Krishna... either make it or fake it. Then He will slowly get us to that pure position.
So please keep chanting, no matter what, never ever give up chanting. That is the only way we can continue to remain in this path of Bhakti.
