He noted, \u201cit is the business of every employee, whether a train driver, a fireman or a clerk in the office, to do their bit so that the wheels never stop. If the wheels stop, business stops.\u201d He wanted our ISKCON movement to keep the wheels moving and thus provide an opportunity for people all over the world to receive the mercy of Lord Caitanya.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; background: #ffffff; line-height: 0.25in\">\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; background: #ffffff; line-height: 0.28in\" align=\"CENTER\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilsglobal.org\/ils2018-registration\/\"><font color=\"#2ea3f2\"><font style=\"font-size: 22pt\" size=\"6\"><b>Register Now<\/b><\/font><\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-bk1vHLzmTRs\/WiuEZT1LJoI\/AAAAAAAAgzA\/wlmcOdiZHnIiFhCOcd87k30nn18FAkDEACHMYCw\/s0\/2017-12-09_07-36-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>ILS 2018 will play a critical part in setting the stage for ISKCON\u2019s future.\u00a0Speakers will explore the challenges and opportunities ISKCON will face as it continues to shift into the hands of the next generations.<\/p>\n<p>The ILS provides a unique opportunity for a cross-pollination of thoughts and best practices.
