<div class="heading">Lord Caitanya's movement is also fighting, but it is a fight in a different way. So the soldiers, Nityānanda Prabhu, soldier, was sent to deliver Jagāi-Mādhāi. This is also fighting. Therefore all the devotees, all the preachers of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, they are mahā-bāhu, strongly armed by the weapons of Kṛṣṇa. They cannot be defeated. They will push on the fight with māyā, this illusion. What is that illusion? The living entity under illusion is thinking that he will be happy by material comforts.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on BG 7.4-5 -- Bombay, March 30, 1971|Lecture on BG 7.4-5 -- Bombay, March 30, 1971]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">
When we are Kṛṣṇa conscious, then we are ''brahma-bhūta'' ([[Vanisource:SB 4.30.20|SB 4.30.20]]), and when we are not Kṛṣṇa conscious, we are materially conscious, that is ''māyā''.

Therefore as soon as we are freed from the clutches of ''māyā'', ''brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā'' ([[Vanisource:BG 18.54 (1972)|BG 18.54]]), we become ''prasannātmā'', very happy, joyful. Just like if a man is freed from the contamination of a certain type of disease, he feels happy: "Now I am feeling all right," similarly, these coverings of ''māyā'' of the ''jīvas'', not of the Supreme Lord . . .

The Supreme Lord cannot be covered by ''māyā''. That is wrong. The ''jīvas''. That is called ''ya'' . . . ''apareyam itas tv anyāṁ prakṛtiṁ viddhi me parām, jīva-bhūtāṁ mahā-bāho'' ([[Vanisource:BG 7.5 (1972)|BG 7.5]]). Arjuna is addressed as ''mahā-bāhu'', the great fighter. Great fighter can understand. Who is great fighter? Who is acting under Kṛṣṇa, he is great fighter. Just like Arjuna is fighting.

So when you take shelter of Kṛṣṇa and fight with these material opposing elements . . . these preachers, they are also ''mahā-bāho''. They are fighting with persons who are not Kṛṣṇa conscious. They are pushing on Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement by fighting. But this fighting is in different way.

This was taught by Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. ''Kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam'' ([[Vanisource:SB 11.5.32|SB 11.5.32]]). ''Sa aṅga upāṅga astra. Astra'' means weapons. Just like these Pakistanis are fighting with machine gun, Caitanya Mahāprabhu fought with ''māyā'' not with machine gun but with His most confidential associates.

:''śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya prabhu nityānanda''
:''śrī-advaita gadādhara śrīvāsādi-gaura-bhakta-vṛnda''

His fighting weapons were Śrī Advaita Prabhu, Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, ''śrīvāsādi-gaura-bhakta-vṛnda'', and other many devotees. So Lord Caitanya's movement is also fighting, but it is a fight in a different way.

So the soldiers, Nityānanda Prabhu, soldier, was sent to deliver Jagāi-Mādhāi. This is also fighting. Therefore all the devotees, all the preachers of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, they are ''mahā-bāho'', strongly armed by the weapons of Kṛṣṇa. They cannot be defeated. They will push on the fight with ''māyā'', this illusion. What is that illusion? The living entity under illusion is thinking that he will be happy by material comforts. That is not possible.

So this movement, Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, is a declaration of war with ''māyā''. Declaration of war, but in a different way—by this chanting process—Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare. The transcendental vibration will clarify the whole atmosphere, and as soon as these Kṛṣṇa conscious soldiers comes out victorious, the whole world will be peaceful.
