Consider the ideal placed before mankind by Shri Krishna and His brother,Balarama. Balarama had the plough as his inseparable weapon. The plough is not a destructive weapon; it is a tool for the production of food. Krishna tended cattle, also essential for every agricultural operation, from preparation of soil to transporting the grain, after harvest. The message they convey to you is: Produce, put your knowledge into practice and produce things that can fulfil essential, elevating needs-domestic furniture, agricultural implements, school accessories, home building materials, clothing fabrics, etc., etc. Always question yourself: ‘What have I contributed to the happy living of my fellowmen?’ Expand your heart; let your love enfold more and more of fellowmen. Therein lies divinity.

The name Krishna means, He who attracts, He who cultivated the heartland. He who is ever in Bliss. Students have to bear this in mind. Krishna draws people into His presence, sows, grows and harvests Love in barren hearts and confers supreme delight. Balarama asks for dedication to Bhumata (the land) and Krishna, to Gomata (the cattle). They have raised agriculture, the process of providing food, to the level of a sacred sadhana.
