So the education at the present moment throughout the whole world is Sanda-Amarka education. For a devotee such kind of education has no value. Ahara-nidra-bhaya-maithunah ca. Everyone is being educated how to live comfortably with reference to the comforts of the body. This is not education. Real education is to understand oneself, self-realization, and with that purpose one should make progress in Krsna consciousness, that beginning with sravanam. As we are hearing, without sravana there is no beginning of spiritual education. Satam prasangad mama virya-samvidah. That sravana, hearing also, should be accepted from devotee, from real devotee. Sri Svarupa Damodara Gosvami recommended that a brahmana… He wrote something about Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and there were so many discrepancies. So Svarupa Damodara Gosvami was not at all satisfied with such writings. He chastised the brahmana that “You cannot write.” So unless one is self-realized, there is practically no use writing about Krsna. This transcendental writing does not depend on material education. It depends on the spiritual realization. You’ll find, therefore, in the comments of Bhagavatam by different acaryas, even there are some discrepancies, they are accepted as asat-patha. It should remain as it is.
So Sanatana Gosvami therefore said, avaisnava-mukhodgirnam putah hari-kathamrtam, sravanam naiva kartavyam: “One who is not Vaishnava, from him one should not hear hari-kathamrtam.” Hari-katha Srimad-Bhagavatam is hari-katha, and it is amrta, nectarine. But if it is recited or explained by some avaisnava, one should not hear. It is forbidden. The example is given, sarpocchistam payo yatha. So professional reciters or one who speaks and writes for living means it is strictly prohibited. Na vyakhyam upayunjitah. One should not make Bhagavata recitation as a means of livelihood. That is, the process is not accepted. So sravanam kirtanam visnoh [SB 7.5.23] You should hear from Vaisnava, at least one who is trying to become Vaisnava, not professional man. Bhaktih paresanubhavo viraktir anyatra syat [SB 11.2.42].

Thank you for posting this article, it’s true there are already a lot of snakes around ready to spread their poison as all the polluted guru hoaxers are still keeping doing. They are not self realized jivas they speak with the false ego as a acharya but the real acharya got not false ego anymore and he sees everyone as part and parcel of the Lord, I mean all of them were existing before through the sva murti the svarupa murti the form created perfectely by SRI KRSNA before the beginning of the maha tattva through the acintya abheda bheda tattava.
To be self realized means to go back to that original and perfect form created by SRI KRSNA through bahunam janmanam ante then yesam tv anta gatam papam. Actually SRILA PRABHUPADA used to say that nobody knows us better then Krsna and whatever good quality we got it comes from HIM therefore there is nothing to be proud through false ego which get smashed very often for people who are not self realized yet better to stay in the own bhajan kutir by waiting to become self realized instead of speaking rubbish by getting everything smashed as happened to all the kangoorus.
SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA can give good spiritual realizations even to people who are not self realized yet and spiritual emotions to a kanistha adhikari, also says the Nectar of Devotion, but this doesn’t means that he is a self realized Soul, one should work on that spiritual realization and emotion reached by sukrti pious activities until one becomes self realized. Of course whatever spiritual treasure we got at the moment comes straight away from SRILA PRABHUPADA which is completely free and pure from enemies and invisible forces and unless one becomes like that is not possible to progress gradually in spiritual life by getting pissed off through hidden enemies very often.
The disciples should love the own spiritual master as the disciples of SRI RASIKANANDA GOSVAMI did, all of them left their bodies by see their own spiritual master to disappear inside the form of the deity but they could not feeling separation from their pukka guru and they end their life by leaving their bodies due to intense separation from their lovely Guru, in the same way we should love the vani seva of SRILA PRABHUPADA in that way to get stolen by bhakti paresanubhavo viraktir anyatra without enemies by SRILA PRABHUPADA at the end of our short troublesome journey in the foreign land of the living dead, in maha maya sukaya who are living to reincarnate again as dead living entities without sadhana bhakti preaching program etc…
All the guru hoaxers are keeping to kill SRILA PRABHUPADA through their misconducts instead of loving HIM as the disciples of SRI RASIKANANDA GOSVAMI did. A spiritual realization is genuine when it got not opposite side effects but is not the same if the spiritual realization get sized by others so called spiritual leaders. To become a perfect servant first is required, the jivasya mohan aham mameti must be substituted through gopi bhartuh pada kamalayor dasa dasa anu dasa by completing saranagati surrender, as our guru maharaj is teaching us through HIS perfect example of OM VISNUPADA PARAMAHAMSA PARIVRAJAKACHARYA 108 SRI SRIMAD ABHAYA CARANAVINDA BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI SRILA PRABHUPADA KI JAI.
We must listen only perfect realized spiritual souls like SRILA PRABHUPADA, all the other bogus gurus can’t deliver even themselves from the clutches of maha maya but still a lot of foolish people still listen them like if they are like SRILA PRABHUPADA but is not the same I mean they have to take birth again for disrespecting SRILA PRABHUPADA that’s all
