Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesGlorifying Kṛṣṇa Creates Auspiciousness
“Any literature or narration in which the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Uttamaśloka, is described and glorified is certainly great, pure, glorious, auspicious and all good.”
What the purport teaches
- Literature and narration that describe and glorify the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Uttamaśloka, are pure, glorious, auspicious and all good.
- The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement spreads simply by describing Kṛṣṇa. Its books provide opportunities to speak and hear about the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- Wherever a speaker discusses these books and an audience hears, an auspicious situation is created. Therefore, preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness must be done very carefully.
