4 kinds of Arguments according to Vaisnava tradition :

4 kinds of Arguments according to Vaisnava tradition :

I thought this may interest you : this is from a Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya page

There are actually four types of discussions - samvaada, vaada, jalpa

and vitanDa.

samvaada is the discussion between the teacher and the taught as in

shree krishna-arujuna samvaada. The student does not question the

teacher but questions his understanding for clarification. This type

of discussion can occur only when the student… Continue

after 50 you must take sannyasa

Srila Gurudeva told me to run away from grhastha life and take sannyasa !

Sri Prahlada Maharaja has warned that after 50 years of age one should leave Grhastha life and Srila Prabhupada has also stated so in his Bhagavatam purport , now why the hell am I still in grhastha life ? Srila Narayana Maharaja told me in 2001 that he would give me sannyasa ,he told me you should never have become a grhastha that time I had only been married 3 years and my son was 2 years old ,but he kept…

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura and all our acaryas have asked devotees to chant minimum 64 rounds daily and it is the minimum given standard given by Lord Caitanya for taking Diksa in our Gaudiya line unfortunately most have no faith in Harinama and fail to obey Lord Caitanya still they pose themselves as pure devotees of Lord Caitanya in Caitanya Bhagavata Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada…

Srimati Radharani called Krsna a womanizer

Srimati Radharani called Krsna a womanizer

if someone find faults with Krsna we do not want to associate with them ,but Srimati Radharani called Krsna so many ill names out of Her devotion , She also would say I will have nothing to do with this black fellow ,,if you read Govinda Lilamrta, Gita Govinda and Lalitamadhave and so many books of the Goswamis you will see how Sri Radha found fault in Krsna but it is transcendental and not envy like demons ,Mother Yasoda and Srimati…

dear GBC please remove any GBCs that serve grains on Nityananda Trayodasi !

It is opposed to Bhakti to take grains on Nityananda Trayodasi ,but many ISKCON temples serve cake and other grains , as they do not care about Bhakti only their belly Skanda Purana states:





matr ha pitr has caiva bhratr ha guru has tatha





ekadasyas tu ya bhunkte visnu-lokac cyuto bhavet





“Those who eat grains on Ekadasi and on the Day of Lord Hari (including Janmastami, Gaura Purnima etc.) obtain the sin equal to killing one’s own mother, own… Continue

Srila Prabhupadas socalled "racial profiling "

Srila Prabhupada very clearly made this racial profiling that birth in India is topmost if you use it in Krsnas service ,of course demons like Kamsa were also born in India ,Bhagavatam quotes that demigods take birth in India in Kali yuga to participate in the Sankirtana movement , in Caitanya Bhagavata Lord Caitanya also states He sends His devotees to be born in different countries to purify them ..

secondly Srila Prabhupada considered the white race superior than others as they are…
