When Srila Prabhupada came to America, he came to establish an entirely new frontier of preaching Gaudiya Viashnavism. No Gaudiya Vaishnava has ever been to America to establish this philosophy. It was very similar for Goswami Maharaj to go to mainland China to establish Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s Movement, a brand-new frontier, a country with over one billion people, a place where religion is in out lord, communism. In Mayapur about 30 oriental people from Taiwan came to Sri Mayapur Dham, simply to have the purifying darshan of Srila Goswami Maharaj. It became one of the highlights of the whole festival for all of us to see these people coming from the Chinese nations, chanting and dancing in the temple. Srila Tamal Krishna Maharaj, during Prabhupada’s life and after Prabhupada’s departure was the puppet in his hands, to do the impossible.  One of the most successful devotee communities in all of America and in all the western worlds is Dallas and Houston, large congregation, beautiful temple in both places. Those devotees there, year after year will personally trained and nourished by Srila Goswami Maharaj, two of the most important temples of our society in the western world.

Wild Horses - Dragged By My Untamed Mind

What is the purpose of human life?

He said, ‘I have been chanting 16 rounds for 3 years now but I never knew how to say it, because I never met a devotee. I am only saying what I am reading.’ He said, ‘but I never knew that there was such thing as devotees till I saw you.’ Somehow or other he found out about our New Vrindavan. So, He said, ‘I have come to surrender.’ He said, ‘I want to surrender everything.’ He said, ‘This is what I read that I am suppose to surrender everything.’ Then he said, ‘Sarvadharmanparityadya’ and he said it in all different ways, He said, ‘you are supposed to abandon everything and surrender to Krishna. This is what I have learned from reading this book. So, I want to surrender everything to Krishna.’ So, he had a house trailer, he had 2 cars, he had about a 50 thousand dollars with a welding equipment. He said, ‘Am I allowed to give all this to my guru? Because I read you are supposed to give everything to your guru.’ I said, ‘Yes, you are supposed to do like this.’ He said, ‘I have permission?’ I said, ‘I am Sure you can get permission.’ Now this is an example of someone who never met a devotee before but was living perfectly as a devotee for 3 years and completely and properly understood our whole philosophy, didn’t understand the proper pronunciation, just by coming in contact with one of these wonderful books. So, this is the power of transcendental knowledge. This is the greatest service that we can offer to humanity, by somehow or other influencing people’s lives by which they could live according to this transcendental knowledge. The world is suffering so terribly because of the lack of proper understanding of the goal of life.

Anecdote About Bhagavad Gita's Influence

Now what does it mean to control the mind? Krishna describes that one must control the lower self with the higher self. Lower than the mind is the senses and higher than the mind is the intelligence. If the mind becomes a victim to following the dictation of the senses, then your mind is your worst enemy. But if your mind is willing to accept the dictation of higher intelligence, your mind is the best friend. 
Now the next natural question is ‘what is our higher intelligence?” The higher intelligence is very simple to understand. The higher intelligence is the word of Guru and Krishna people think their higher intelligence means their own discriminant discriminatory faculties to decide what is right and what is wrong. The real higher intelligence is the word of God as it is coming to the Shastra and as it is coming to the Guru. That
