adékñitasya vämoru kåtaà sarvaà nirarthakam 

paçu-yonim aväpnoti dékñä-virahito janaù

who is everyones Lord and Master it is only Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Nama ,so many rascal persons claim to be my masters and superiors .You are not God , how can you be my superior? Give up your isvara bhava and surrender to Lord Narasimha

Many Prabhupada disciples think they are my Gurus when they are mostly neophytes devotees that does not understand the basic even of Nama tattava that they have to chant 64 rounds daily.My Gurudeva gave me this instruction since 1989 and when my false and fake and fallen ISKCON Guru fell down so it became obvious to all .He was stealing money for years and…

Lord Sri Krsna has 3 kinds of Tilaka , 1 made of kasturi , musk from the deer , it makes a black line on Krsna forhead, 2 is Gorocana ,gallstones from cows , and 3 kunkuma .It sppears Lord Sri Krsna at times wore tilaka as one line made of Sandalwood.

There  is a common misconception that Sri Krsna…

yesterday i saw one person trying to be the master of the holy name, his mentality disgusted me ,he is an initiated disciple of Srila Prabhupada and did not even put devotional dress on ,then he sings the Mahamantra in a complicated tune ,that no one can follow thinking his is better than everyone.The Temple administration should demand any kirtana leaders wear at least devotional dress.I once told Ramahadra when I served in ISKCON NY, that…
