All glories to Srila Prabhupada
I was reading over some past articles I have sent out the past two years from one notebook I have at my
prasadam table and below is what came from it today.
Here are 4 very good reasons (from Prabhupadas books) why the sincere and intelligent devotees meet regularly for sadhu sanga, arotik, kirtan, class, discussion and prasadam. We may say we know and understand the “philosophy” of Krsna Consciousness, but if we do not apply it regularly, then it is exactly like not knowing it at all. It remains theory only and the material and spiritual benefits of the chanting will not be forthcoming.

Maya is already there, side by side, Krsna and maya. Just like this light. This side is light; this side is darkness. Take this example. This light, the one side is very bright; another side is dark. So this darkness and this light is always side by side. Similarly, Krsna and maya… So as soon as you become little slack in Krsna consciousness, immediately maya is ready to capture you. Maya is always going side by side. As Krsna is all-pervading, the maya is also all-pervading. As soon as there is lack of Krsna consciousness, there is immediately maya.
