Once again let us repeat the words of the Acharyas. Are Iskcon gurus even kanistha since the equivalent of Kanistha in Varnasrama is the perfect Brahmana? Are they or we perfect brahmanas to qualify as kanistha adhikary?

Rajen Babu: Isn’t the kanistha-adhikari qualified to give initiation into the mantra?

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati: Where is the kanishtha-adhikari coming from? Who gave him the adhikara? A kanishtha-adhikari can never become a guru.

Rajen Babu: Can a madhyama-adhikari give diksa?

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati: HE CAN ONLY PERFORM THE INITIAL DUTIES OF DIKSA. It is the uttama-adhikari maha-bhagavata Vaisnava who is actually the diksa-guru. There are two types of Vaisnavas – the ragatmika and the raganuga. Those who are from the eternal realm offer service to Sri Krsna directly. These ragatmikas serve Sri Varshabhanavi and Her direct expansions. Those who perform direct service to the ragatmikas and take shelter in them through

Sudip Nair said; almost the entire population of young devotees get preached to remain humble, not criticize and not expose anything with the fear of committing Vaisnava Apradha. The poisoners use this tactic to keep them under their control so that no one sees through their deception. And even 99.99% of them ....., have no guts to openly expose the poisoners with the fear of getting...... blocked"

Joshua Davis “It is the duty of the disciples to take charge of the mission of the spiritual master and execute it properly. Otherwise the disciple should decide to die along with the spiritual master. In other words, to execute the will of the spiritual master, the disciple should be prepared to lay down his life and abandon all personal considerations.”

Kṛṣṇa is giving all living entities protection, even in their rebellious condition

Biren Chauhan

" Of course, Kṛṣṇa is giving all living entities protection, even in their rebellious condition (eko bahūnāṁ yo vidadhāti kāmān). Without Kṛṣṇa's protection, we cannot live for a second. When we admit and recognize Kṛṣṇa's kindness, we become happy. Kṛṣṇa is protecting us at every moment, but we do not realize this, because we have taken life at our own risk. Kṛṣṇa gives us a certain amount of freedom, saying, "All right, do whatever you like. As far as possible, I will give you protection." However, when the living entity is fully surrendered to Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa takes total charge and gives special protection. If a child grows up and doesn't care for his father and acts freely, what can his father do? He can only say, "Do whatever you like." But when a son puts himself fully under his father's protection, he receives more care."

(Srila Prabhupada, The Path of Perfection, Chapter 5 )

The Lord is to be Worshipped by one's own consciousness, not by material substances

9468793696?profile=originalThe Lord is to be Worshipped by one's own consciousness, not by material substances - by waving lamps, lighting incense, offering flowers or even food or sandal paste. HE is attained without the least effort: HE is worshipped by Self-Realisation alone. This is the Supreme Meditation, this is the Supreme Worship: the continuous and unbroken awareness of the indwelling presence, Inner light or Consciousness. While doing what ever one is doing - seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving, sleeping, breathing or talking - one should realise one's Essential Nature as Pure Consciousness. Thus does One attain Liberation.

- Lord Shiva to Sage Vasishta.
