Even though the USA is on the brink of war with Iraq, it is still a very spiritually significant day. The most compassionate Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared on this earth planet over 500 years ago, and as His followers, we're sure He has a master plan. The outcome of this situation may enable other jivas to hear the transcendental message of Godhead, more specifically the Holy Name. One does not hear the Holy Name with his or her ears. One hears the Holy Name from the heart. When the heart is sincere, the Lord appears as the Holy Name, via the transparent medium Sri Gurudev, and from there everything will develop.
After receiving the Holy Name, we must be very careful to avoid offenses to the Name itself. We must guard it with our every desire, thought and deed, and at the same time be compassionate toward other souls. Spreading the Holy Name is not meant for moneymaking opportunities, but we must try to make opportunities where other jivas can hear the Holy Names from the lips of a pure follower of Sri Chaitanya Dev. That will please our Gurudev and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and thus our lives will be successful.
