The Krishna consciousness movement is a cultural
movement as well as a religious movement. Srila Prabhupada intended
our society to be an example of using everything in God's service;
to use our work, abilities, and tastes as a path to transcendence. |

Krishna consciousness is meant to be a joyful process, and in our
lives joy is expressed through culture. Spiritual life should include
the perfection of beauty in musical, visual, and literary arts.
Devotees aspire to come closer to transcendence by coming to the
platform of goodness first. Arts in the mode of goodness should
be pleasing to the ear, the eye, the tongue, and the other senses.
They should satisfy the senses in such a way that the devotee learns
to look for true beauty in spiritual life rather than material life.
In this section we give a small taste of some of the cultural pursuits
that the Krishna consciousness movement practises.
