Change the World?

In at least two passages, Srila Prabhupada talked about major change coming about in the world situation due to Krsna consciousness. One reference can be found in a purport to the ninth canto of Srimad Bhagavatam, wherein he writes: "The kingdom of Rama was immensely popular and beneficial, and the spreading of this Hare Krsna movement can immediately introduce a similar situation even in this Kali-yuga." Also, in a lecture in Mauritius in 1975, he said: "We want to change it [the world] according to our whims. This rascal havoc has ruined the whole world. Otherwise, if they would have preached Bhagavad-gita as it is, the world situation would have been different. Everything would have been in order, tranquility, peace, and everybody would have been prosperous. But the rascals will not do that. That is the defect. Therefore our tiny effort is how to present Bhagavad-gita as it is. This is our mission. If we take... Even now, in this distorted condition of the world, if we accept Bhagavad-gita as it is, then still, we will be benefited. There is no doubt about it. Therefore our appeal is that throughout the whole world people should come, try to understand Bhagavad-gita, and set up examples and do the needful. Then everything will be peaceful. This is the peace formula."
