Building Temples
We are building temples and developing projects, they are not just buildings or structures. These projects are meant for helping you make spiritual advancement. These projects are meant to bring you closer to Krishna.
Modern Man
Modern man has struggled very hard to reach the moon, but he has not tried very hard to elevate himself spiritually.
Symptoms of Advancement
When we become advanced, we recognize the service of other devotees and we develop our appreciation for them and it manifests in the form of friendship.
Advancement in Spiritual Life
Advancement in spiritual life does not depend on any kind of previous education or qualification. The method itself is so pure that by simply engaging in it one becomes pure.
Bhagavad Gita 9.2,

Four Items for Instant Improvement
This is the position of Krishna Consciousness that if anyone will take to it seriously, he will find instant improvement in his life’s condition. The purpose of our centers for Krishna Consciousness is to give everyone the opportunity to remove this cloud of Maya from their consciousness and resume their natural, blissful life of rendering devotional service to Lord Krishna. The process is very simple: chanting, dancing, eating Krishna Prasadam and associating with Krishna’s nice devotees and these four items will make one advance very quickly.

Benefits of Association
In Chaitanya Caritamrta Lord Caitanya says that sadhu-sanga, the association of a great saintly person, is very important, because even if one is not advanced in knowledge, simply by association with a great saintly person one can immediately make considerable advancement in spiritual life.
