Srila Prabhupada’s Vision of Ram Rajya

Srila Prabhupada’s Vision of Ram Rajya Today is based upon Instructions of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who is Lord Krishna’s (Lord Ram’s) avatar for this age, kaliyuga.

1. There was only one Ravan in Treta yuga. Ravan’s mentality and desire was to enjoy Sitaji, (Laxmiji, wealth) while insulting and fighting with Lord Ram.
Now in this age, Kali Yuga, there is Ravan in practically every home, in every heart!
Therefore, the focus NOW should be to First Purify one’s own heart by chanting Hare Krishna Mahamantra to KILL the demons (lust, greed, pride etc.) in one’s own heart. This is called Japa & Kirtan.

2. Lord Ram used bow and arrows to kill demons. However, in this age, if the demons were to be killed there who will be left on this planet? Practically everyone is disobeying the instructions of the scriptures and therefore, is more or less, demoniac!
Therefore the emphasis, as taught by Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, is to kill the demonic mentality of people by spreading of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra in every town & village of this world.
We should Perform massive collective chanting of the Holy names, which is called Sankirtan. Also simultaneously distribute Krishna Prasadam to easily & rapidly purify people’s heart.

3. Our goal, therefore, is try to become a pure devotee of the Lord, like Hanumanji. And then, just like Hanumanji raised an army of monkeys, create an “army” of devotees to help bring Ram Rajya by performing above mentioned devotional activities.

4. Our greatest enemy is ignorance. In this age, even the so called Brahmins and Pandits are totally ignorant of the science of God/Krishna & of the basic message of Gita and Ramayan.
Therefore the biggest need is to remove this mass ignorance. The best means to do it is by massive distribution of books given by Srila Prabhupada on the pure science of Krishna (same as Lord Ram) consciousness.
This is the most important and urgent welfare activity to educate and save humanity from going to hell!
According to Srila Prabhupada’s instructions, the more above three activities (Massive Harinam Sankirtan, Massive distribution of Krishna prasadam and that of Spiritual literature), are performed, Ram Rajya will come AUTOMATICALLY!
This is where Government’s support is needed! Then only things can be done on a really grand scale to produce any significant results. First, however, people in Government need to be taught and convinced that the message of Gita is SECULAR and is nonsectarian. It’s universal and is beneficial for not only Hindus but person from any faith.
Actually in the Hare Krishna Movement, started by Srila Prabhupada 50 years ago, there are devotees of Krishna from every religious, social, ethnic & national background.
Srila Prabhupada points out that this is indeed the true UNITED NATIONS!
People from every conceivable background throughout the world are now accepting Lord Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They are joyfully following Gita’s instructions and are busy vigourously spreading Gita’s message everywhere. They are happily engaged in chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra and doing countless activities in Krishna’s Service.
Srila Prabhupada desired that now this proven successful pattern can and should be rapidly multiplied and expanded everywhere.

These are the basic principles given by Srila Prabhupada to help bring RAM RAJYA TODAY!
