What’s More Important:
Krishna’s Name or Service?
A question from an uninitiated person yet: When I come to SCSM, mahamantra goes to the secondary position. Is that okay? Is association and service more important? And why didn’t Srila Prabhupada give initiation to George Harrison — does it mean that he was devoid of the spiritual progress?
