Hari-bhakti-vilāsa (2.6)

"The potency of transcendental sound is never minimized because the vibrator is apparently absent."
[Srila Prabhupada from Srimad Bhagavatam

2.9.8 According to the Vaiṣṇava regulative principles, one must be initiated as a brāhmaṇa. The Hari-bhakti-vilāsa (2.6) quotes the following injunction from the Viṣṇu-yāmala:
adīkṣitasya vāmorukṛtaṁ sarvaṁ nirarthakam
paśu-yonim avāpnotidīkṣā-virahito janaḥ
“‘Unless one is initiated by a bona fide spiritual master, all his devotional activities are useless. A person who is not properly initiated can descend again into the animal species.’”

Hari-bhakti-vilāsa (2.10) further quotes:
ato guruṁ praṇamyaivaṁsarva-svaṁ vinivedya ca
gṛhṇīyād vaiṣṇavaṁ mantraṁdīkṣā-pūrvaṁ vidhānataḥ
“‘It is the duty of every human being to surrender to a bona fide spiritual master. Giving him everything — body, mind and intelligence — one must take Vaiṣṇava initiation from him.’”

"One should not proudly think that one can understand the transcendental loving service of the Lord simply by reading books... One must accept a Vaisnava guru (adau gurv-asrayam), and then by questions and answers one should gradually learn what pure devotional service to Krsna is. That is called the parampara system." (Cc. Antya-lila 7.53, purp.) — AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

My success is always there.

Hanuman: One thing he's saying, this gentleman, and I would like to know, is your successor named or your successor will...
Prabhupada: My success is always there. Yes. Just like the sun is there always. It may come before your vision or not. The sun is there. But if you are fortunate, you come before the sun. Otherwise you remain in darkness. Sun is open to everyone. Our Krsna consciousness movement--Krsna is open to everyone. But if you are fortunate, you come to the light. If you are unfortunate, do not. That is your choice.

[Srila Prabhupada Room Conversation with Sanskrit Professor, other Guests and Disciples, February 12, 1975, Mexico]

I will never die!

Reporter: Who will succeed you when you die?

Srila Prabhupada: I will never die!

Devotees: Jaya! Haribol!

Srila Prabhupada: I will live forever for my books and you will utilise.

[Interview, Berkley, 1975]

Nimai Nitay That's why these bogus gurus and their supporters are very much afraid to come on an open debate..,because they know very well,that day and night..,practically every minute,second they say only lies..and their mission is to destroy completelly everything which even has something to do with real spirituality or religion. BUT,the revolution is at the doorstep...people all over the world are already absolutelly fed up with their lies. In Kali yuga this is the last leg of the Bull=Dharma> Search for the Truth and Speaking the Truth!!!

Mukunda Dasa Similarly, cheating type of religious system--kicked out. It is not such religion, "this religion," "that religion." Any religion system, if there is jealousy, that is not religion. Jealousy means... We should understand jealousy, what is jealousy. Jealousy means that you are rightful owner of something; I won't allow you to take it. This is jealousy. This is jealousy. Jealousy, try to understand. Suppose you are rightful owner of something, and I am trying that "You don't own it. I shall own it. Or somebody own it. I shall not allow it." This is jealousy. So what is the rightful ownership of the living entity? That is to be understood. Birthright, what is called birthright. Just like everyone has got right to live under the protection of the government, everyone. That is good government. Government should give security of life and property. That is government. Not only for the human being, but even for the ant. This is government. Not that I give protection to my brother, and not to others. That is not... Just like Pariksit Maharaja, he was giving protection to the animals also. When he was on his tour, as soon as he saw that a black man was trying to kill one cow, oh, immediately he took his sword, "Who are you? You are trying to kill?" [Srila Prabhupada from Bhagavad-gita lecture, 1.1 London, July 7, 1973] Note: So what is the rightful ownership of ALL members of Prabhupada’s real Iskcon??? To worship Prabhupada as their Diksa Guru! Jealousy means that you are rightful owner of something; I won't allow you to do it. This is jealousy. This is jealousy. Jealousy, try to understand. So if we approach any member of the vipers nest and explain to them the true rights of all the members of Prabhupada’s real Iskcon, will they agree? NO, because they are all jealous. So any person who doesn’t acknowledge the right of all souls for the next 10,000 years to accept Prabhupada as their Diksa Guru is JEALOUS! And Prabhupada says: "There are many jealous people in the dress of Vaisnavas in this Krsna consciousness movement, and they should be completely neglected." (C.C. Madhya Lila 1.218)
