Dear Maharajas and Prabhus,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your feet. Recently when all of the GBC members were with His Divine Grace in Vrndavana, Srila Prabhupada indicated that soon He would appoint some of His senior disciples to act as ritvik - representative of the acarya, for the purpose of performing initiations, both first initiation and second initiation. His Divine Grace has so far given a list of eleven disciples who will act in that capacity:

His Holiness Kirtanananda Swami
His Holin

The present Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement follows the same principle, and therefore simply by chanting and dancing we have received good responses all over the world. It is to be understood, however, that this chanting and dancing do not belong to this material world. They are actually transcendental activit

Srila Prabhupada wished us to carry on much as the Christians do, with Jesus acarya

Simple truth; Srila Prabhupada wished us to carry on much as the Christians do, with Jesus acarya. He set up ritviks to do initiations for him in the early seventies, and asked us not to change anything. He said that his disciples are to always remain in control of all his properties and rights. He told Cayavana Swami that he would have MILLIONS of disciples. He also appointed eleven ritivks on Tamaljudases' and the demonjews pushing, this confirmed by eye witnesses; ritivks, not gurus. So, its all setttled, we continue on as always. Any who disagree, be at peace. I will not even speak to you any more, waste of time.

The Meaning of Perfect, by His Divine Grace

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on August 10, 2015 at 9:00

Courtesy Ines Naradic, ie Naradakunda devi dasi; Meaning of Perfect

Prabhupada: Yes. Acarya is explained, bhakti-samsanah: “One who’s preaching the cult of devotional service, he’s acarya.” Then why should you find any discrepancy?
Jayadvaita: Because we see … For instance, sometimes the acarya may seem to forget something or not to know something, so from our point of view, if someone has forgotten, that is an imperfection.
Prabhupada: Then you do not understand. Acarya is not God, omniscient. He is servant of God. His business is to preach bhakti cult. That is acarya.
Jayadvaita: And that is the perfection.
Prabhupada: That is the perfection. Hare Krsna.
Jayadvaita: So we have a misunderstanding about what perfection is?
Prabhupada: Yes. Perfection is here, how he is preaching bhakti cult. That’s all.
Satsvarupa: Prabhupada, in one purport in the Bhagavad-gita, you write that a disciple of a bona fide spiritual master is supposed to know everything.
Prabhupada: Yes, if he follows th

SRILA SRINIVASA ACARYA

>>> SRILA SRINIVASA ACARYA <<< 

Srila Srinivasa Acarya was a member of the party that first brought the books of the six Gosvamis from Vrndavana to Bengal and Orissa. He converted King Birahambira to the Vaisnava religion and helped organized the first Gaura Purnima festival, celebrating the birth anniversary of Lord Caitanya, in Kheturi Gram.

Srila Srinivasa Acarya is one of the most important personalities in the religious history of Bengal, perhaps the most important Vaisnava teacher in the generation immediately following Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

After witnessing Lord Gauranga's sannyasa ceremony at Katva, Chaitanya Dasa and his pregnant wife visited Lord Caitanya in Jagannatha Puri. "Soon your wife will give birth to a son named 'Srinivasa' said Lord Caitanya, "And through Srinivasa all the bhakti sastras of Rupa and Sanatana will be distributed." 

When his father left this world Srinivasa visited the remaining associates of Lord Gauranga in Katva, Navadwipa, Jagannatha Puri.
