1. Tdasa ;  We consider ourselves simply the modern followers of HDG A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad, as he taught and set the perfect examples. There is no such thing as "ritvik philosophy", per se,  as we are simply following Prabhupada's philosophy.

Srila Prabhupada said;
"Simply work cooperatively for spreading this movement all over the world. The standards I have already given you, now try to maintain them at all times under standard procedure. Do not try to innovate or create anything or manufacture anything, that will ruin everything. Simply do as I am doing and be always serious and sincere to serve Krsna, and He will give you intelligence how to do everything."
Letter to Bali Mardan & Pusta Krsna, September18, 1972

Srila Prabhupada ;

" From now on unless I order you do something change or in addition, go on with the usual standard way. "

 "Kṛṣṇa consciousness does not meant to be one-sided. Kṛṣṇa is all-pervading, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement also should be all-perv

"Thereafter, King Vṛṣabhānu, as per the advice of the goddess, arrived at the āśrama of Mahā-muni Kratu on the sandy banks of the river Virajā, received harināma mahā-mantra, and also became acquainted with the process of chanting śrī nāma. Kratu Muni, having given the harināma mahā-mantra to King Vṛṣabhānu, once again said to him: “Son! For Vaiṣṇavas, and especially in the case of Śākta, Saura, Śaiva, and Gāṇapatya initiation, only the performance harināma-kīrtana purifies the aural faculties. In other words, because of impurities within the aural faculty, without first of all having harināma-dīkṣā, no other mantra will bear results. Ears into which harināma has not entered are impure like the ears of a dead body. In other words, as long as one does not receive harināma-dīkṣā, one’s ears remain impure. Once harināma enters, one attains purity. O Mahābāho (strong-armed one)! I have given you this harināma. Hereafter, practice this with full concentration of your heart and soul.” cour

Have no fear! Krsna consciousness is very simple, it almost happens automatically if the process is followed sincerely. Mahaprabhu wants us delivered, Lord Nityananda is giving all Mercy, Srila Prabhupada gave everything to free us, how can we NOT get full results if we sincerely take?

No big brain required. Just as one naturally develops affection for one's family members, one who takes Gopal Krsna into one's home, also He becomes Family with time ! Time I Am ! Sayeth the Lord. But He is Godhead, so the relationship is very magickal and superior ! Krsna consciousness is hardly even a rational or logical process, those are not bhakti.

Chant Hare Krsna honestly, offer nice food as one can to Krsna, read about Krsna's pastimes and philosophy, share Harinam with others, take initiation and serve Srila Prabhupada's real mission; these little things are all that is required for easy advancement into eternal loving service in spiritual bliss !

We have no stock except chanting. But why do we talk of philosophy? Because
the fools want to talk of philosophy. Otherwise, there is no need of talking
philosophy. Simply by chanting, everything is complete.

So somebody protests like that. But there is no meaning of protesting against the action of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is our view. So we Vaiṣṇavas, we are chanting.
It does not mean that when there is need of fighting with avaiṣṇava (non-vaishnava) we shall lack in strength. We can fight. One gentleman inquired from me that 'Vaiṣṇavism makes one dull. He cannot act.' And, 'No. You have not seen a Vaiṣṇava.' In the two fightings, great fighting, the Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata, the hero was Hanuman and Arjuna, and they fought.
Guest: They fought.
Prabhupada: Yes. And who can be better Vaiṣṇava than them?
Guest: Nobody.
Prabhupada: So Vaiṣṇava does not mean he is dull. No.
Guest: No, that is well proved. If there is need...

"There is no need by any of my disciples to read any books besides my books—in fact, such reading may be detrimental to their advancement in Krishna Consciousness. All reading of outside books, except in certain authorized cases such as for example to read some philosopher like Plato to make an essay comparing his philosophy with Krishna's philosophy—but otherwise all such outside reading should be stopped immediately. It is simply another botheration. If my students cannot even read my own books thoroughly, why they should read others? I have given you TLC, what need is there to read Caitanya Caritamrta translated by someone else. You are right to stop such reading."

Srila Prabhupada - "If there is no chance of directly serving the spiritual master,
then the devotee does serve him by remembering his instructions only.
There is no difference between the spiritual master's instructions and the spiritual master himself."
 

We should always remember that a person who is reluctant to accept a spiritual master for initiation is sure to become baffled in his endeavour to go back to Godhead. Such person who is not properly initiated may present himself as a great devotee but in fact he is sure to encounter many many stumbling blocks on his way of progressive march towards spiritual realisation and the net result is that he has to continue the term of his material existence without any relief. Such helpless person is compared with a ship without a rudder as such a careless ship cannot reach her destination. It is imperative therefore to accept a spiritual master if at all anyone desires to gain the favour of the Lord. Service of the spiritual master is esse

PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE?

Everything is happening in the "present" for Krishna, to Him there is no past or future. This maybe hard to understand for some.

Srila Prabhupada - "Kṛṣṇa is always there. So where is the past, present, future?

Five thousand years is a very long time, but for Kṛṣṇa five millions years, or trillions of years has no meaning, He has no past or future, for Him there is only the eternal present.

Kṛṣṇa has no past, present. Vedāhaṁ samatītāni [Bg. 7.26] = He knows past, present, EVERYTHING.

Here is it said -

bahūni me vyatītāni
janmāni tava cārjuna
tāny ahaṁ veda sarvāṇi
[Bg. 4.5]

How can Krsna be old? He also Krsna knows EVERYTHING!

Everything means the "eternal presents" for Kṛṣṇa. So there is no question of past, present and future." (8th February, 1974, Vrindavana)

Conclusion -

Past, Present and Future only exists in the material creation causing constant decay and impermanence .

Whereas in Vaikuntha and

''Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done. Neither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth is found in them.
They say that this world is unreal, that there is no foundation and that there is no God in control. It is produced of sex desire, and has no cause other than lust.
Following such conclusions, the demoniac, who are lost to themselves and who have no intelligence, engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world.''

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.”

''The one point is that without increasing the number of disciples, there is no propagation of the cult of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore, sometimes even at a risk, a sannyāsī in the line of Caitanya Mahāprabhu may accept even a person who is not thoroughly fit to become a disciple. Later on, by the mercy of such a bona fide spiritual master, the disciple is gradually elevated. However, if one increases the number of disciples simply for some prestige or false honor, he will surely fall down in the matter of executing Kṛṣṇa consciousness.'' nod/7

ITSACON HERETICAL FALSE RABBI DOCTRINES; The whole sampradaya delivers you, not the Guru, So, if your Guru falls, no big deal.....

That is how the jews run their faith; by rabbinical councils. The poisoners are turning us into jews. We follow Sri Guru, not some fallible council, that is mayavada.

example; Guruttama Das said; Your confusion is that the guru does not personally by himself deliver the disciple. He is the external manifestation of the supersoul and Krishna and the whole parampara take the jiva back to Godhead.

There is no Sadhana siddhi in Kaliyuga, only Krpa siddhi;

"Therefore, having a bonafide spiritual master and serving him, and pleasing him, and getting his mercy is essential. Otherwise there can be NO advancement in Krsna consciousness. And unless the spiritual master is a pure devotee of Krsna, then he has no potency to give Krsna. He is simply a cheating rascal!
So, in fact, above all the rules and regulations and offenses I have mentioned, the most important thing, the essential thing, which is required, if you want to come to the stage of purely chanting the Hare Krsna mantra,
is, you MUST have a bonafide spiritual master, who is a pure devotee of Krsna. Without having a bonafide spiritual master you can chant Hare Krsna forever, but will not be able to advance, because Krsna does
not reveal Himself in this way. He ONLY reveals Himself to those devotees who surrender to, and serve, and please His pure dev

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

Now, from this we may take the lesson that in our fight with māyā we should not be in a position in which our strength, enthusiasm and senses will be unable to fight vigorously. Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement has actually declared war against the illusory energy, in which all the living entities are rotting in a false understanding of civilization. The soldiers in this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement must always possess physical strength, enthusiasm and sensual power. To keep themselves fit, they must therefore place themselves in a normal condition of life. What constitutes a normal condition will not be the same for everyone, and therefore there are divisions of varṇāśrama—brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, śūdra, brahmacarya, gṛhastha, vānaprastha and sannyāsa. Especially in this age, Kali-yuga, it is advised that no one take sannyāsa.

sannyāsaṁ pala-paitṛkam

One thing, the Father serves the sons. Krsna Godhead does not overly relish bowing and scraping and pleading etc. as overly reverential needy sons might do. Rather, He wishes to play as our equal friend etc. The Vaisnavas teach this path, it is most pleasing to Godhead, and that is our eternal nature, pure service in pursuit of Krsna's pleasure, His happiness, which in ultimate is our own true happiness. We are part and parcel, we have no seperate selfish interests in our realized status. That is full liberation and unity.

CC Madhya 1.220, Translation and Purport: In accordance with the instructions of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the two brothers, Rūpa and Sanātana, immediately touched the lotus feet of these Vaiṣṇavas, who all became very happy and congratulated the two brothers for having received the mercy of the Lord.


This behavior is indicative of real Vaiṣṇavas. When they saw that Rūpa and Sanātana were fortunate enough to receive the mercy of the Lord, they were so pleased that they all congratulated the two brothers. A jealous person in the dress of a Vaiṣṇava is not at all happy to see the success of another Vaiṣṇava in receiving the Lord’s mercy. Unfortunately, in this Age of Kali there are many mundane persons in the dress of Vaiṣṇavas, and Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has described them as disciples of Kali.

He says, kali-celā. He indicates that there is another Vaiṣṇava, a pseudo Vaiṣṇava with tilaka on his nose and kaṇṭhī beads around his neck. Such a pseudo Vaiṣṇava associates with mo
