Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 10, Ch. 3]
chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement is a nuisance, although  Bhagavad-gītā  clearly says,  satataṁ kīrtayanto māṁ yatantaś ca dṛḍhavratāḥ . According to this verse, it is the duty of the  mahātmās  to chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mantra  and try to spread it all over the world to the best of their ability. Unfortunately, society is in such an uncivilized state that there are so-called  mahātmās  who are prepared to kill cows and children and stop the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement. Such uncivilized activities were actually demonstrated in opposition to the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement's Bombay center, Hare Kṛṣṇa Land. As Kaṁsa was not expected to kill the beautiful child of Devakī and Vasudeva, the uncivilized society, although unhappy about the advancement of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, cannot be expected to stop it. Yet we must face many difficulties in many different ways. Although Kṛṣṇa cannot be killed, Vasudeva, as the father of Kṛṣṇa, was trembling because in affection he thought that Kaṁsa would immediately come and kill his son. Similarly, although the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement and Kṛṣṇa are not different and no  asuras  can check it, we are afraid that at any moment the  asuras  can stop this movement in any part of the world.
