Current Disciple and Aspirants List. A. Can I become your disciple? You should read Section B. General Description. B. General Description. -1. Black and White: As diksa guru is that I expect someone to chant 16 nice rounds daily and follow the 4 regulative principles strictly (NOI page 33). After that almost black and white is brahma muhurta and morning program (NOI 34), then as a higher Madhyama adhikari with you and me both accepting Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder Acharya of ISKCON, as an Uttama adhikari spiritual master I will accept you as a disciple (NOI 58) and guarantee that you will come to the highest platform of uttama adhikari (NOI 53). I accept the GBC as the Ultimate Managing Authority for ISKCON as stated by Srila Prabhupada in his Will with their authority ultimate and limited to managment. I accept the elevated Brahmanas, Goswami?s as the Ultimate Spiritual authorities in that context and Srila Prabhupada as their absolute monarch (SB1.17.41 & 45). If anybody, GBC, Sannyasi deviates from Srila Prabhupada's connection of course we have to react in terms of that. At the minimum we require that anyone who receives beads, name, diksa from us; by our Vyasapuja, day before Jiva Goswami's disapperance day, to make an Annual Report. It is confidential between the student and ourselves and Srila Prabhuapda: a. With a few words of detail, have you been able to chant at least sixteen good rounds daily the whole year? b. Similarly, have you been able to follow the four regulative principles strictly? c. Have you been rising regularly by 4AM and attending Mangala-arati, Kirtana, SB class? d. Who is your administrative, Sankirtana, authority in ISKCON? e. A few words that you would like us to offer to Srila Prabhupada. 1. Guru-tatwa is unlimited. Anyone who says he knows guru perfectly is a fool. Even in Goloka there is Guru, Lord Balarama. The Vraja-vasi's wanted to enter the water to save Krsna, but Lord Balarama stopped them. He knew Krsna's position. He regulated their service. We want to have a practical understanding of Guru so that we can advance in our service to Krsna. That's enough. 2. There are many types of Gurus. One should accept the proper Guru for his specific purpose. There are siksa, diksa, vartmana-pradarsika-guru, astra-guru, ashrama-guru, patni-guru, kula-guru. We remember Srila Prabhupada talking of why Drona Acharya is called Guru in the Bhagavad Gita. Srila Prabhupada explains that this word means teacher. In India the children bring a mango to the teacher and say, "Namste guruji". We are writing this on our "Vyasa puja" 2006 so let us talk about Diksa guru. Later we can discuss more as you like. Before initiation there is advice, Siksa, how to get on the path back to Godhead. Siksa-guru at this level is called vartmana-pradarsika-guru, the instructing spiritual master who shows us the path. When we are serious and want to formally make a commitment to Krsna, then Diksa-guru makes that link. After initiation there is more advice, Siksa, how to go back to Godhead following our committed determination. Of course the same person may be all three types of Gurus. Personally we understand ourselves at this time to be Madhyama-adhikaris. We have taken intiation from a bona fide spiritual master and are engaged in worshiping the Deity. If we look at the last paragraph in Text Five of Upadesamrta Prabhupada explains that a Madhyama-adhikari can accept disciples but in the perspective of an Uttama-adhikari-guru. So, that is the kind of Diksa-guru we are. We give names, beads, promises on the authority of the Founder Acharya of ISKCON Srila Prabhupada. Everyone of our Disciples should accept Srila Prabhupada as a Guru. Who is the Diksa-guru, you or Prabahupada? Answer depends on what you mean by Diksa guru. If you mean the person who chants on the beads and gives the name and makes the promise with his own lips that by chanting your prescribed number of rounds you are guaranteed to advance to the highest platform of Uttama-adhikari, then we are the Diksa-guru. If you take Diksa-guru as that person who makes the contract with Krsna, then it is Prabhupada. Quoting what we've heard from Prabhupada, "If you engage in devotional service it will all be very clear". It's practically clear to us. We are trying to not eclipse Prabhupada, but we are also offering a facility on this authority. What happens if a Disciple falls down? Unless you are chanting 16-nice rounds, and that means Mangala-arati and Srimad Bhagavatam and Sankirtana and practical relation with ISKCON; and following the 4-principles strictly then we cannot function as your Diksa-guru, representative to Srila Prabhupada and the Guru-parampara. If you want we can certainly try to serve you as Vartmana-pradarshika-guru again and get you back on the path and then we can be Disksa guru again. Don't cheat yourself. Srila Prabhupada talks about Guru-tattwa again and again in his books, but the main thing is just our sincerity to serve Srila Prabhupada. We are following Srila Prabhupada and therefore we are going back to Godhead. Anybody who follows us, following Srila Prabhupada is also going back to Godhead, and the same is true for people following people, following us. You have to work out these these to a practical level to chant good rounds, follow the principles and engage in Sankirtana and then gradually guru-tattwa will become clearer and clearer to you. 3. ISKCON formalities for Diksa. You must chant 16 nice rounds and follow the four regulative principles strictly, rising by 1-1/2 hours before sunrise, mangala arati, kirtan, reading Prabhupada's books, practical relationship with ISKCON authorities and sankirtan for six months. Then with approval of your Temple President or other ISKCON authority you can become a Formal Aspirant. Six months more of the same thing and you can take Hari-nama initiation. 4. Guru Fallsdown. Question: Guru is described as a god, an absolute authority, but we see in ISKCON that many of our gurus falldown. How can we understand that? How can he be Absolute if he falls down? HpS: As far as we understand he's absolute because he told you that he might fall down. If he's madhyama-adhikari then he most likely won't fall down from devotional service but he might have some accidental falldown into bad activties. "api cet suduracaro, bhajate mam ananya bhak" (BG): Even an "ananya bhak", very fixed devotee, can falldown, not just into "duracaro", bad acts, but into "suduracaro", abominable acts, but he may still "sadhur eva samantavyaha", internally be a sincere, saintly devotee. He may feel very, very bad about his accident. Personally I tell people that this is my position. I am a madhayama-adhikari. For considerable time I am undeviating in chanting my rounds, following principles, mangala-arati, sankirtana etc. but considering the history of our Western Godbrothers its not a question of if I will falldown, it seems more likely that I will falldown. Maybe by some special mercy for the most fallen we'll be able to avoid that, God help us, but if we do then we plan to get back up in a wonderful way. We Westerners come from abominable backgrounds so if there is accidental falldown into bad activities, it may not be too surprising. Just like a child - he loses control of his senses sometimes and crys, but nobody takes it too seriously. With a little help he gets back in line and is wonderful again. Srila is our standard. We are trying to help him. C. Miscellanous -To our understanding the GBC is the Ultimate Administrative Authority in ISKCON and under them we have specific authorities. This is administration, ksatriya, side. The brahminical side is idealized by the Sannyasis. And in general, anybody can be good association and a guru. That's the real purpose of ISKCON, to get good association. First duty of GBC is to set proper example and see that people are getting up for Mangala Arati and coming to class etc. Administration becomes easy then. Sannyasis should also not renounce Mangala Arati. -Comment - But GBC, Temple Presidents, even Sannyasis are not coming to Mangala Arati more and more. Answer - So we have to preach to them, take proper action. If you are not satisfied with one GBC answer, then you can go to another, and another, the whole GBC Body and then Prabhupada. Its administration, like any institution. Don't expect things to be too intimate. That is more Brahminical and Devotee relations. -Illict Sex Permitted: Comment - Some Gurus allow their Grhastha disciples to Fornicate once a month. Is that allowed? Can I do that?? Answer - We have personal experience of hearing this in some cases from pretty reliable disciples. However, it is not allowed for Initiated devotees. Only sexual relations after Garbhadana Samskara etc. Discuss it with your Father, not a Sannyasi. As we understand the confusion maybe that if one falls from the Grhastha standard then the Diksa guru is no longer acting as Diksa guru, but if he feels that the devotee is sincere then he will continue to act as Vartmana pradarshika Guru, Siksa guru, who gives us advice how to get back to the standard path, but without establishing that relation with him as Diksa guru again, you can't expect to advance in spiritual life. -Comment - My guru is very advanced and Srila Prabhupada gave him secret instructions that he doesn't mention in his books about these fundamental points such as illicit sex. Answer - We can understand that there are many lines of devotees behind Srila Prabhupada. Our line is bona fide to the best of our comprehension. Maybe the most insignificant. So there are differences. Get a guru. Get a connection to an Acharya such as Srila Prabhupada some how or other. SB 3.22.7 "He (Guru) instructs him through the ear, not privately, but publicly." Wonderful purport, all about Guru. Does it indicate that Srila Prabhupada was placing Temple President as a guru, his representative? Prabhupada comments in one purport that one should not be too concerned about other peoples religious practices because this will only make the mind restless. One should focus more on improving his own standard. -Second Iniation Standard: Question: What is the standard for second initiation? Answer - The same as first initiation but more strict. At least one year following after first iniation. You don't have to take second initiation to go back to Goloka if you follow Hari Nama vow properly. It is for Brahmana, Ksatriya and higher class Vaisya. Now you must act like a good example of a Lady or Gentlemen. Your Ashrama must be clear. You must dress and act like a Brahmacari, Grhastha etc. Then life can be very nice. Back Home, Back to Godhead. -Meaning of Guru Puja: (rev. 2010 Dec 2) "Our" Guru-puja is coming in about one month. Some ISKCON devotees celebrate this for their ISKCON guru and some ISKCON gurus don't accept it. There is variety. Some think that any Gurupuja except for Srila Prabhupada is Vaisnava aparadha to Srila Prabhupada. Now, we look at it as our opportunity to glorify the Parampara. We want the position of Krsna, Vyasadeva, Lord Caitanya, the Goswamis, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Maharaja, Srila Prabhupada, us, our Godbothers, newly initated and intiate for several years devotees, devotees following Srila Prabhupada sentimentally only or his principles also, but outside of our GBC sturcture, to all be illuminated. SB 8.24.53 and the preceeding verses give nice advise on this. Eg. "Sometimes it is argued that people do not know who is a spiritual master and that finding a spiritual master from whom to get enlightenment in regard to the destination of life is very difficult. To answer all these questions, King Satyavrata shows us the way to accept the Supreme Personality of Godhead as the real spiritual master. The Supreme Lord has given full directions in Bhagavad-gita about how to deal with everything in this material world and how to return home, back to Godhead. Therefore, one should not be misled by so-called gurus who are rascals and fools. Rather, one should directly see the Supreme Personality of Godhead as the guru or instructor. It is difficult, however, to understand Bhagavad-gita without the help of the guru. Therefore the guru appears in the parampara system." D. Current Disciple and Aspirants List.
