I’m sure if you stick it out, even just a few devotees, Krsna
will reciprocate and gradually it can develop to be a grand
success. Maybe if the sankirtana devotees traveled less and
distributed more in D that would consolidate the preaching
there. Naturally they like to be on the road but for the overall
development of the preaching it seems like making a solid
foundation in D is of primary importance. Many devotees
may have so many opinions but those who are committed to
serve and accept authority can be taken seriously, not others.

Krsna is known by His devotees but not known by anybody.
He is unconquerable, but conquered by the love of His
devotees. He is the smallest of all (He enters within the
atoms) and the greatest of all (the universes are within Him).
All contradictions are possible for Krsna. Devotees know
Him, at least as much as He explains Himself in Gita. He is
too great to be known by anybody, but another symptom of
His greatness is that He blesses His devotees with the ability
to know Him. Nobody can know Him fully, but devotees
know Him as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the
supreme object of love. Others cannot know Him at all.

There are many reasons for Krsna’s coming to this world. All
are not given in Gita. More explanation is given in Srimad
Bhagavatam, Caitanya Caritamrta and the writings of the
Gosvamis. Please see Bhagavatam, Canto 1, Chapter 8.
The sunshine is not different from the sun. The sun is the
origin of the sunshine, although both simultaneously exist.
In the same way, Krsna is the origin of everything. Please see
the Brahma Samhita verse beginning, “diparcir.”

After reading Gita fully, read it again, and simultaneously
start on Bhagavatam. Read each at least half an hour a day.
Gradually everything will be revealed to you.
