Today we live in a peaceless world that is beset by confusion and chaos, where the pursuit of happiness through conquest of the weak and poor is destroying both mankind and nature, and where both science and religion have failed to promote an environment of genuine inquiry towards the nature of this world, purpose of life, and the source of all existence. Krishna consciousness presents the timeless wisdom of Bhagavad-gita that goes to the root of all the confusion in society today – forgetfulness of our real spiritual identity as a part and parcel of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna. When a sincere soul understands his true spiritual nature, he immediately transcends the misery and chaos of this world and becomes equipoised towards pain and pleasure. Thus, the relevance and need of Krishna consciousness in today’s world cannot be understated. This is the real formula for peace & happiness – both individually and collectively. Armed with the ability to control one’s senses and mind, a graduate of the Monk Life program is gifted with a clear understanding of one’s purpose in life as a servant of Krishna (God) and orients his life to ultimately break free from the cycle of karma and achieve pure love of God.
