Elevation to Krṣṇa Consciousness
human society. Regardless of what class we belong to, if we cooperate in Krṣṇa consciousness, there will be peace in the world.
Thus Krṣṇa consciousness is the utmost necessity for all divisions of society. Every chapter and every conclusion of  Bhagavad-gītā  aim toward Krṣṇa consciousness. Śrī Krṣṇa, who is speaking  Bhagavad-gītā , is always stressing devotion to His personal Self.
manmanā bhava madbhakto mad-yājī mām namaskuru mām evaiṣyasi satyam te pratijāne priyo 'si me
“Always think of Me and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend.” (Bg. 18.65)
Throughout  Bhagavad-gītā  we find this word  mām  stressed.  Mām  means “unto Me,” meaning unto Krṣṇa. But there are many miscreants who are interpreting this  mām  to mean “everyone.” When I say, “Bring me a glass of water,” does it mean that I want you to bring everyone a glass of water? The individuality is there, but by jugglery of words they interpret “me” or “I” to mean “everyone.” Consequently when Krṣṇa says “I,” the miscreants identify this “I” with themselves. This is a gross misinterpretation. Although  Bhagavad-gītā  is very popular in the world, due to this misinterpretation by mundane scholars, it has not been properly understood.
