real followers of Srila Prabhupada never takes grains on Visnutattva apperance days


dear devotees
Please accept my humble obaisences
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Many temples still only serve ekadasi prasadam (anukalpa) on Visnutattva apperance days but some do not

I have often encouraged devotees to fast on Visnutattva days, and since they are not doing it they say be" sensitive " .Others say I will not do it because the way you said it.
Actually it is Srila Prabhupadas instructions and example ,devotees can hear from Mother Govindas testimony http://nimaipandit.ning.com/profiles/blogs/govinda-mataji-about-srila
Srila Prabhupadas instructions are very specific such as about Ramanavami http://www.salagram.net/rama9observe.htm .But some still want to take grains, and some get angry, why
you keep telling me to follow Srila Prabhupada, because I am a preacher and it is my duty..
No matter how nicely (or not?) I say it. the instructions are there,
this is about fasting on Narasimha Caturdasi:

I am not suggesting Nirjala fasting as much as simply not taking grains that is the first step.

If we claim to follow Srila Prabhupada or be his disciples we have to also follow these instructions on no grains on Visnutattva apperance days
and I am talking about the ones we observe in our Gaudiya line and mentioned in Hari Bhakti vilasa
And if this still offends someone then what can I say?
Yes there is still many temples that take grains on Gaura Purnima in USA and outside of USA, I saw(pictures) and heard of a grain feast in ISKCON Kazakstan on Gaura purnima
Yes some are to proud to hear from "someone that is not Prabhupadas disciple" I find this extremely neophyte to say the least when I am repeating Srila Prabhupadas instructions, those who follow his instructions live with him, those who pick and choose do not..it is that simple the choice is ours to make.If we want to remain sentimentalist and serve the mind and senses the choice is also ours..we should serve Srila Prabhupada purely that should be our goal then we can serve Krsna via his mercy
