  • Dress & Cleanliness | Vaiṣṇava Etiquette ep.2 | Addressing Kṛṣṇa Conscious Taboos | HG Nimāi Nitāi Prabhuji

    Srila Prabhupada has given us everything. He is teaching us about the absolute truth as well as all different aspects of life, this includes the way we dress and the way we keep our bodies cleansed.

    Many devotees have gone astray from the standard that Srila Prabhupada has given, this is not good. Let us discuss about this important topic later.

    "The Tilaks on the forehead and other parts of the body are symbolic representation of Radha Krishna Temples. In other words by marking Tilaks on all parts of our body we become protected by the Lord from all sides. Besides Tilak marking at once makes one known as Vaisnavas therefore they are necessary as much as the beads."
    - Letter to Dayananda, Nandarani and Uddhava, 20th September, 1967

  • Moon Mission Hoax | History & Cosmology ep.1 | Addressing Kṛṣṇa Conscious Taboos | HG Nimāi Nitāi Prabhuji.

    Are we to live our lives believing the words of modern-day scientists or shall we believe in the statements of the śāstra?
    Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā "tatra cāndramasaṁ jyotir
    yogī prāpya nivartate" The mystic who reaches the moon planet, again comes back. This means that there are advanced living entities residing on the moon. Do they teach this fact in universities like Cambridge?

    The Lord also says "The splendor of the sun, which dissipates the darkness of this whole world, comes from Me. And the splendor of the moon and the splendor of fire are also from Me. (Bg 15.12)

    This means that the moon has its own light and does not simply reflect the sunlight. Is this part of the scientific curriculum of the Harvard University?

    Will we find our faith shaken due to observing the foolish endeavors of those who challenge the laws of material nature that are put in place by Kṛṣṇa?!

    None of the devotees & Hindus should support the Chandrayaan mission, as this would mean siding with the rebellious souls who are adverse to the eternal loving service of The Supreme Lord!

  • Envy Towards Devotees | Vaiṣṇava Etiquette ep.1 | Addressing Kṛṣṇa Conscious Taboos | HG Nimāi Nitāi Prabhu.

    We may be feeling envy towards other devotees in the neophyte stages, this is not abnormal, but what to do? Shall we just let this mad elephant loose to completely destroy our spiritual life? Surely not.

    How to recognize this enemy within our heart? And how to destroy it?
    O brāhmaṇa, let Me now advise you for your own protection. Please hear from Me. By offending Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, you have acted with self-envy. Therefore you should go to him immediately, without a moment's delay. One's so-called prowess, when employed against the devotee, certainly harms he who employs it. Thus it is the subject, not the object, who is harmed.

  • IA77 - Initiations After 1977

    ŚB 4.28.48, Purport

    The main business of human society is to think of the Supreme Personality of Godhead at all times, to become His devotees, to worship the Supreme Lord and to bow down before Him. The ācārya, the authorized representative of the Supreme Lord, establishes these principles, but when he disappears, things once again become disordered. The perfect disciples of the ācārya try to relieve the situation by sincerely following the instructions of the spiritual master.


    It is prudent to objectively identify the cause and implement the solution to these problems. As Śrīla Prabhupāda told us, “There is no external force in this world that can stop our movement. It can only be destroyed from within.” It all started with disobedience towards the order of Śrīla Prabhupāda. The instructions of Śrīla Prabhupāda are the thread that holds the beautiful pearl necklace of our movement. If they are disobeyed, the thread would snap and the necklace would be lost. That is exactly what happened especially with regards to initiations after Śrīla Prabhupāda’s departure.

    The scope of this audiobook is:

    1. To study Śrīla Prabhupāda’s final instructions on how initiations
    should take place after his departure;

    2. To fortify the authenticity of his instructions with śāstric and
    historical references;

    3. To present śāstric references that explain the root cause of all
    problems within our worldwide Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, its effects and how to solve it.

    In order for Śrīla Prabhupāda to accept disciples even after his physical departure, His Divine Grace set up a system of initiation wherein his representatives, called ṛtviks (or priests) would officiate the initiation on his behalf and the transcendental movement would thus continue on and on. This ṛtvik system of initiations is not a concoction of some disgruntled devotees but is the authorized method so mercifully given by Śrīla Prabhupāda for the benefit of all of us.
    This audiobook is entirely based on the official documents of Śrīla Prabhupāda and supported by scriptural quotations from Śrīla Prabhupāda’s translations of Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and other related literature. We have just attempted to compile it in order to serve his mission and the devotees who are
    true to his mission.
