SDG:  “I request as many devotees as possible to attend so we can feel the family spirit strongly.  I become very satisfied when we are all gathered together.”

Srila Prabhupāda:  “Therefore, our Society is association.  If we keep good association, then we don’t touch the darkness.  What is the association?  There is a song, sat-saṅga chāḍi’ kainu asate vilāsa, te-kāraṇe lāgila mora karma-bandha-phāṅsa (Gaurā Pahū, verse 3).  Sat-saṅga.  Sat-saṅga means association with the devotees.  So the one poet, Vaiṣṇava poet, is regretting that, “I did not keep association with the devotees, and I wanted to enjoy life with the nondevotees.  Therefore I’m being entangled in the fruitive activities.”  Karma bandha phāṅsa.  Entanglement.”
