Indian PM Sri Narendra Modi ji receives with reverence the Munificent Deity of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Srila Prabhupada: Our only request is that if you want happiness, if you want to prosper, make your life successful, you must read Bhagavad-gita thoroughly, as it is, as Krishna says. Don’t try to misinterpret. Bombay, April 2, 1974.
Making Chaitanya Mahaprabhu a household word – as much or more than Jesus Christ, Moses, or Mohammed, is the great challenge to all sects of the Hare Krishna Movement which started over 500 years ag and includes all Gaudiya’s. This picture of a head of one of the world’s most populous countries is a great step forward in realizing that vision. Every yatra should make it a goal to put this same beautiful multi into the hands of their government leaders and take a photo of them respectfully holding it. Gradually a “wall” of such “moments” can be assembled. It will be a great impetus for leaders of society to take the teachings of Lord Chaitanya seriously. Please inform us as to where that murti can be purchased so that we can endeavor to get it to our highest officials also.
