Sum and Substance  Discovering Srila Prabhupada's Instructions on Spontaneous Devotional Service- One who has not yet developed interest in Krsna consciousness should give up all material motives and train his mind by following the progressive regulative principles, namely chanting and remembering Krsna and His name, form, quality, pastimes and so forth. In this way, after developing a taste for such things, one should try to live in Vrindavana and pass his time constantly remembering Krsnas name, fame, pastimes and qualities under the direction and protection of an expert devotee. This is the sum and substance of all instruction regarding the cultivation of devotional service. The Nectar of Instruction, Text Eight. M O R E
Srila Prabhupada Advocates Rasa-Katha  This short article responds to the GBCZs misgivings about Om Visnupad 108 Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayan Maharajas preaching method. The GBC position paper against Srila Maharaj contains following verdict: "We have premonitions of disaster when we see someone liberally initiate many unqualified people and then immerse those same people in a culture in which rasika topics are a central focus" According to the present GBC advice newly initiated devotees shouldn't hear rasa-katha or radha-krishna-lila. This erroneous attitude fades away in the light of Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj's clear instruction. M O R E
We Are Old Friends  Dear Tamal Krsna Maharaj, Dandavats. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Sri Guru and Gouranga. I am sorry that I missed you in Soho St. Temple. I hope your disciple gave you my note. You did not call me in Birmingham. We are old friends Maharaj. We have served Srila Prabhupada together for many years, and I have rendered personal service to your good self. I was dismayed to hear a recent lecture you gave in Fiji, obviously directed at certain observations that Srila Narayan Maharaj has made about karma misra bhakti and vaiddhi bhakti as it is practiced in many ISKCON centers, and taught by yourself.
