Srila Prabhupada, Los Angeles, July 20, 1971: […] So we get information from the perfect person, Krishna. Therefore whatever we speak, that is perfect because we don’t speak anything which is not spoken by Krishna or authorities who have accepted Krishna. That is called disciplic succession. So our process is, process of acquiring knowledge, is very easy and perfect. That is Krishna consciousness.
We cannot say anything which is not accepted by the authorities coming from Krishna. And in the Bhagavad-gita Krishna recommends this process of knowledge: evam parampara-praptam imam rajarsayo viduh [Bg. 4.2]. “This supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way. But in course of time the succession was broken, and therefore the science as it is appears to be lost.”

pamho agtACBSP,
transcending material selfishness by becoming a bona fide order carrier of SRI KRSNA is presently not visible within ISKCON. This material selfishness is maya. Actually that is not selfishness. Real selfishness is to know the relationship with God.
By running an unauthorized guru system ISKCON is an apasampradaya. In order to follow strictly the disciplic succession of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, one should not associate with these apasampradaya communities.
Now, there are so many apasampradaya. They do not follow disciplic succession, but falsely present conditioned souls as guru. Therefore everything is topsy-turvied. Nobody has got fixed idea what is a bona fide spiritual master. Everyone has created his own philosophy. The whole thing is now confused.
The real ISKCON in Bangalore temple is protected from this apasampradaya contamination. By the mercy of SRI KRSNA and SRILA PRABHUPADA, we should listen only to sincere prabhupadanugas who are serious in their business on the way back home.
That’s why it is so important to present only what is received through the chain of disciplic succession, parampara.
Real devotees know that krsna-katha is the best medicine to dissipate this illusion – to become detached from the material world by talking about Krsna and Krsna becomes so attracted by a such bona fide speaker that HE Himself comes there to listen too.
One’s spiritual progress is hampered by speaking concocted ideas. Guror avajna, defying the authority of guru. This is the first offense. So one who is offensive, how he can make advance in chanting? He cannot make. If one is disobeying the spiritual master, he cannot remain in the pure status of life.
