Ms. Nixon: … Krsna bilinci nedir?
Srila Prabhupada: Krsna Tanrı demektir. Biz hepimiz yakından O’na bağlıyız çünkü O orijinal babamızdır. Fakat biz bu bağı unuttuk. “Tanrı ile olan bağlantım ne? Hayatın amacı nedir?” gibi sorularla ilgilenmeye başlayınca o zaman Krsna bilinçliyiz diyoruz.
Ms. Nixon: Krsna bilinci bunu uygulayanda nasıl gelişiyor?
Srila Prabhupada: Krsna bilinci zaten herkesin kalbinin özünde vardır. Fakat maddi olarak koşullanmış yaşamımız yüzünden onu unuttuk. Hare Krsna maha-mantrasını —Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare— söyleme yöntemi zaten sahip olduğumuz Krsna bilincini canlandırıyor. Örneğin, bu Amerikalı ve Avrupalı gençler bir kaç ay önce Krsna ile ilgili hiçbir şey bilmiyordu, fakat dün Ratha-yatra [her yıl dünya çapında şehirlerde Krsna bilinci hareketi tarafından düzenlenen festival] geçiş töreni boyunca nasıl Hare Krsna’yı söylediklerini ve kendilerinden geçmiş olarak dans ettiklerini gördük. Sizce bu yapmacık mıydı? Hayır. Yapmacık olarak hiç kimse saatlerce hep birlikte dans edip şarkı söyleyemez. Hakiki bir yöntemi takip ederek gerçekten Krsna bilinçlerini uyandırdılar. Bu Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya 22. 107] da açıklanmıştır:
nitya-siddha krsna -prema ‘sadhya’ kabhu naya
şravanadi-şuddha-citte karaye udaya
Krsna bilinci herkesin kalbinde uykudadır ve biri, adananlarla bağlantı kurduğu zaman, o uyanır. Krsna bilinci yapay değildir. Tıpkı genç bir erkeğin genç bir kızla beraberliğinde, ona karşı doğal cazibesinin uyanması gibi, bir kimsenin adananlarla beraberliğinde Krsna hakkında duymasıyla Krsna bilinci uyanır.

Ms. Nixon: My first question is very basic. What is Krsna consciousness?
Srila Prabhupada: Krsna means God. We are all intimately connected with Him because He is our original father. But we have forgotten this connection. When we become interested in knowing, “What is my connection with God? What is the aim of life?” then we are called Krsna conscious.
Ms. Nixon: How does Krsna consciousness develop in the practitioner?
Srila Prabhupada: Krsna consciousness is already there in the core of everyone’s heart. But because of our materially conditioned life, we have forgotten it. The process of chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra—Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare—revives the Krsna consciousness we already have. For example, a few months ago these American and European boys and girls did not know about Krsna, but just yesterday we saw how they were chanting Hare Krsna and dancing in ecstasy throughout the whole Ratha-yatra procession [an annual festival sponsored by the Krsna consciousness movement in cities around the world]. Do you think that was artificial? No. Artificially, nobody can chant and dance for hours together. They have actually awakened their Krsna consciousness by following a bona fide process. This is explained in the Caitanya-caritamrta (Madhya 22. 107)
nitya-siddha krsna-prema ‘sadhya’ kabhu naya
şravanadi-şuddha-citte karaye udaya
Krsna consciousness is dormant in everyone’s heart, and when one comes in contact with devotees, it is awakened. Krsna consciousness is not artificial. Just as a young boy awakens his natural attraction for a young girl in her association, similarly, if one hears about Krsna in the association of devotees, he awakens his dormant Krsna consciousness.
