Srila Prabhupada expected us to make the transition back to an agrarian based lifestyle, which is the standard and the more natural way to live Krishna consciousness for the vast majority of people, including most of our devotees.
"Who is producing food grain? But they are known as vaisya. What kind of vaisya? There is no brahminical culture; there is no brain. There is no ksatriya who can give you protection. There are so many defects.
So if you want to remodel your life, the society, the human society, nationally or internationally-everything is spoken here, international - then you have to take to the advice of Krishna. This is the purpose of Krishna consciousness movement: wholesale, thorough, overhauling of the human society. We have not manufactured anything, concocted things. It is very scientific. If you actually want to fulfill the mission of your life, then you have to take to this advice of Bhagavad gita, very scientific and spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, without any defects."
Bg. 4.13 Lecture, Bombay 2 April 1974
“Therefore our first religion is to produce food grains sufficiently to feed everyone.” Room Conversation. Atlanta 1 March 1975
Srila Prabhupada wanted us to introduce the varnasrama system primarily based in villages where one can factually learn to be self-sufficient.
Srila Prabhupada, while certainly wanting us to train people in Krishna consciousness everywhere, was not satisfied that we simply develop our congregations in the cities, but rather wanted our devotees and congregation not engaged in front line preaching to move out of the cities and relocate in a more natural, more sustainable environment that will facilitate our practice of Krishna consciousness.
Cities are meant to be our preaching basis while the country is meant to be our living basis.
