Prabhupada : When the brahmana asked the woman who the man lying on the floor was, she answered that he was her spiritual master and that she was perplexed about who to do in his absence. At such a time the Supersoul immediately appears, provided the devotee is purified in heart by following the direction of the spiritual master. A sincere devotee who follows the instructions of the spiritual master certainly gets direct instructions from him from Supersoul. This is confirmed in Caitanya-caritamrta : guru-krsna- prasade paya bhakti-lata-bija. If the devotee serves his spiritual master sincerely, Krsna automatically becomes pleased. Yasya Prasadad bhagavad - prasadah. By satisfying the spiritual master, one automatically satisfies Krsna. Thus the devotee becomes enriched by both the spiritual master and Krsna.

TRANSLATION: The loud sound of the chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra certainly made the Kazi very much afraid, and he hid himself within his room. Hearing the people thus protesting, murmuring in great anger, the Kazi would not come out of his home.
PURPORT: The Kazi’s order not to perform sankirtana could stand only as long as there was no CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.

Thousands assembled together and formed parties, CHANTING THE HARE KRSNA MAHA-MANTRA and MAKING A TUMULTUOUS SOUND OF PROTEST. Thus the Kazi was very much afraid, as naturally one should be under such circumstances.
In the present day also, PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD MAY JOIN TOGETHER IN THE KRSNA CONSCIOUSNESS MOVEMENT and PROTEST AGAINST THE PRESENT DEGRADED GOVERNMENTS of the world’s godless societies, which are based on all kinds of sinful activities. Srimad-Bhagavatam states that in the Age
Palaka Dasa, it was my assumption only that Rupanuga was a BBT trustee. I do not know whether he was or not. So if I am wrong my hearty apology. That is one thing!
Next it was in 1972 yes it was 1972 when Bali Mardan picked me up at Tiffany Place ISKCON Press, in his car, and told me to get in and sit in the back as he was going to pick up Sankirtan devottees. He knew I was austere and so he wanted to know my opinion on Srila Prabhupada's decision that all GBC members take sannyas and thus retain their post.
My not much appreciated, forthcoming and immediate answer was, "I think it is a very good idea - the GBC they should be the most austere." So if Karandhara was GBC maybe he did not take sannyas, although awarded by the asking. I saw him in white in May 1973. Again as I had stated it may have been a revised book that contained this 8th canto purport as I had mentioned - as in ISKCON Press in Los Angeles every time their was a second press run - all big books had
