S rila Prabhupada on Mayapur Bhaktivinoda Thakura's aspiration that the Europeans, Americans, and Indians all together dance jubilantly and chanting "Gaura Hari."

We do not discriminate that 'He is needy...' Everyone is needy. So actually, everyone is in need of spiritual understanding. So by distributing food, the spiritual food, simply by eating, he will be in Krishna consciousness, even if he does not do anything. But actually, we are inviting persons to come, sit down, chant with us Hare Krishna mantra and take prasadam and go home. That's all. This is our program.
