Congregational preaching develops Krishna conscious communities by cultivating devotees in small groups and training them in the principles of devotional service. This fulfills Srila Prabhupada's emphasis that training is needed.
During the early phase of the Hare Krishna movement, spiritual life meant living in the temple as a full-time devotee. With time, the outlook broadened. Today, devotees living outside the temple far outnumber the full-time devotees—they form a strong foundation of our movement through regular seva and weekend support.
