Once Srila Prabhupada was asked, how would you make world-peace?, and
without a moments hesitation he responded - I would close down all
slaughter houses in the world.
As long as there are slaughter-houses, there will be battlefields. A
vegetarian diet is the acid test of humanitarian. -- Leo Tolstoy
So the most practical way to achieve peace in the world is for people
in general to adopt a vegetarian diet. When we stop the wanton
mass-slaughter of animals for food, the world over, the resultant
horrific karmic reactions of such mass-murders, will cease.
Srila Prabhupada says:
Without God consciousness, or without Krishna consciousness, there
cannot be any peace. Everyone is hankering after peace, but no one
knows how to achieve it. Therefore this Krishna consciousness movement
is promoting the greatest welfare work in the world. The process of
understanding this science of Krishna is made very easy in this age by
Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu through the chanting of the holy names of
God,
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
In the Vedas it is stated that in this age people are so fallen that
they cannot realize God by any of the prescribed methods; therefore it
is recommended that by chanting the holy names of God in this age one
can get all the benefits derived in previous ages from meditation,
temple worship and sacrifice.
Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who is Krishna Himself, instructs us that
the holy name of God is non-different from the Supreme Lord; therefore
all the energy that God has is also there in His holy name. Now on the
absolute platform there is no difference between the word and its
referent; therefore there is no difference between the holy name of
God and God Himself.
