no big men within iskcon are standing up & saying anything, if they do then threats are issued to remove them from some list or even getting banned, so they just sit down again afraid of loosing there prestige, not a lion amongst them. you are the only one i have found that talks openly about the chaotic situation our beloved iskcon finds itself Maharaj, so please roar like a lion please someone. souls started leaving in mass. why would they leave something that was beautiful, cos it went sour with all the deviations. i am very looking forward to this series, dandavats pranams Maharaj.
It's not that no one is standing with big issues, my Gurumaharaj HH Lokanath Swami Maharaj had brought this topic regarding FDG but now he is insulted everywhere by Malati and her team 🙏🏻
One who is attached to his body, prestige or anything is not a guru, only truly liberated souls are real gurus. People who have received Krishna's grace and are no more under the illusion of Maya are gurus.
Hare Krishna Maharaja, thank you so much for this series. To me it feels like a godsend because I am pondering over initiation and believe this will be very valuable for my understanding of guru tattva and progress in sprituality.
Hare Krishna my dear beloved Bhakti Vikasa Maharaj. Please accept my humble obeisances at your beautiful lotus feet. 🙏🏻🙇🏻♀️ Thank you for this talk. I was able to play some of your lectures on my aunts TV yesterday, so everyone in the house got a nice opportunity to hear your insightful words. ❤️
Hare Krsna Maharaj. My most humble obeisances into your lotus feet. Thanks for the talks on this most essential spiritual subject for a individual soul. 🙏🙌🙇♂️
Hare Krsna Dandavat Pranam All glories to HDG Srila Prabhupada All glories to the causeless mercy of Vaishnavas Thank you Krsna Thank you Maharaj for the love mercy, instructions and blessings through your messages. Hare Krsna
married life is hard, and its even harder if u are an emotional person and wanted to get out when things aren't working right, if i can turn back the clock, i will stay single and do not want to develop feelings to opposite sex at all.

Than you Maharaj I like Kadaha large name of Kadahi. Hare Krishna. I joined in June 1977 soon SP left, and I had predicted to my TP who is a big Sanyasi that there newly elected 11 will fall down that came true except very few. I was connect to SP even then. I took two gurus in 77 and in 1982 both were not pure devotee to accept disciples.I tried to go to Godiya muth but later thought that would be betraying SP
That guy going ham on the bell in the background though! I was listening and I was like “what on earth is that sound?” Then I paused it and it stopped. Lol
That second letter sounds just like my relationship with my diksha. I wrote a similar letter to Maharaj. As for the woman divorcing her husband, shame on her! What a cop out
HK prabhu, I think Maharaj mentioned it near the beginning, so I am sure the subject will come up during his discourse. Really looking forward to what Maharaj has to say. It's a difficult subject to approach, so it will be interesting to see how Maharaj presents the subjects. Is there a schedule or time scale for the series release? Dandavat pranams prabhus. ys
To be clear to everyone here, the "ritvik" position (this is the term used by Srila Prabhupada himself for initiations on his last order on the July 9th letter) does NOT mean "no gurus" like Maharaja said here. This is an over simplification that I wish to assume it was not done in bad faith. Srila Prabhupada was always clear that it is offensive to distinguish between shiksha and diksha gurus, to the point that we have actual shiksha gurus in our parampara lineage pictures at all temples. Having Srila Prabhupada as the ultimate diksha guru DOES NOT mean that there won't be any gurus, but they MUST be subservient to Srila Prabhupada's doctrine (books, lectures, letters, etc) and his authority. All other gurus are very important and crucial to guide and grow this movement, but they SHOULD NOT assume the place of adding or subtracting from Srila Prabhupada's instructions. Traditionally speaking, only the acharya has the authority to make slight changes in doctrine and adapt traditions (including commenting on shastra, etc)... no shiksha guru has this authority and doesn't have to be perfect like the acharya. THEREFORE, Srila Prabhupada remains the ACHARYA/DIKSHA of this movement, he is perfect, his instructions are absolute and infallible, and his shiskha gurus instruct based on this. If a shiksha guru decides to create his own movement, his own teachings, then he would be seen as outside of Prabhupada's movement, and that is fine, but Prabhupadanugas stick very strictly to Srila Prabhupada without exceptions and without allowing interlopers of any kind. This will protect the orthodoxy and orthopraxy of his mission. Without this approach, as it can be clearly seen with the liberalism, modernism and deviancy in ISKCON today, including female "diksha gurus", mayavadism, book changes, all will fall apart and won't progress.
Wow, thank you for explaining that, making it more understandable, for me anyway. I've been in ISKCON over four decades, and I have clearly seen how too many cooks spoil the soup.
(Managed by disciples) Hare Krsna! There are several scholarly disciples of Maharaja staying in Tamil Nadu, especially in ISKCON Salem. They will be happy to take part in this discussion.

Can you discuss Hinduism on a public forum with our Tamil scholars?
(Managed by disciples)
Hare Krsna! There are several scholarly disciples of Maharaja staying in Tamil Nadu, especially in ISKCON Salem. They will be happy to take part in this discussion.
Guru and disciple must be on same level. Upadesamrit 5
What it means by same level?
good lives left & yes mass exodus
Interesting topic indeed! Eagerly waiting for next videos. Hare Kṛṣṇa
Also another series about Atheism which Mahāraj started on Vāmana dvādaśī.
