Srila Prabhupada quoted Chanakya Pandit as a perfect example of a Vaisnava Brahmana that did not take Salary for devotional service, ,that a real Vaisnava Brahmin never accepts a salary in ISKCON ,thus who do are Sudra !Srila Prabhupada here says he is a dog, so if you get a salary in ISKCON please returne it so Srila Prabhupada will not consider you a dog !

Chanakya Pandit was not an impersonalist :

ko ’rthaḥ putreṇa jātena

yo na vidvān na dhārmikaḥ

kāṇena cakṣuṣā kiṁ vā

cakṣuḥ pīḍaiva kevalam

“What is the use of a son who is neither glorious nor devoted to the Lord? Such a son is like a blind eye, which simply gives pain but cannot help one see.”

Frog in the well !

Some aspiring vaisnavas are very offended when we preach to them about the importance of chanting 64 rounds as given by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.They are like frogs in the well , they think a reduced number of rounds is the same as 64 rounds or 120 rounds or 192 rounds.They blow themselves up in their tiny worlds that I am the Supreme Lord of my well
