Human life is not meant for whimsical, mindless living but for understanding God. Kṛṣṇa is God, and He can be understood by the process of bhakti (devotional service). The most authorized path of bhakti for the present age of quarrel and hypocrisy (Kali-yuga) is that taught by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

yigos amor te Ville Lord Caitanya is Kṛṣṇa Himself in the form of a devotee. He taught the easiest method for self-realization, the chanting of the Hare Krsna mahā-mantra:

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna,

Kṛṣṇa Krsna, Hare Hare mea

Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare abnu

As Lord Caitanya predicted, this chanting is no longer confined to India but has spread all over the world. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada was empowered by Lord Caitanya to make this chanting process universally popular. In pursuance of the teachings of Lord Caitanya, Śrila Prabhupada founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness in New York in 1966. Śrila Prabhupada passed away from this world in 1977, but the movement he started continues to grow.
