stand as strong as the Himalayan mountain

[Guest guest]

We cannot deviate from the path of the previous acaryas. We must strictly

follow. That is the qualification. We must follow their instruction.

Therefore I repeatedly say to my students that "You chant Hare Krsna mantra

sixteen rounds, and follow the regulative principles. Your strength is

there." If we..., just like Himalayan mountain, nobody can push it. Very

simple thing. It is so powerful. Yaha hoite sarva-siddhi haya. This is

Caitanya Mahaprabhu's request. Don't deviate from the instruction. Then you

will stand as strong as the Himalayan mountain. Very simple thing. Anyone

can do. We are asking, following the footsteps of predecessor, Rupa Gosvami,

Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Caitanya Mahaprabhu's instruction to Rupa Gosvami.

Rupanuga. Therefore we are called rupanuga. Anuga. Anuga means following.

Going, following the footsteps of Rupa Gosvami. So as the, Rupa Gosvami is

following his predecessor, Caitanya Mahaprabhu, so we have to follow our

predecessor. Then we will be successful. There is no doubt about it. Nobody

can do any harm. Kaunteya pratijanihi na me bhaktah pranasyati [bg. 9.31].

If you stick to the principle of following the footsteps of previous

predecessor, evam parampara-praptam [bg. 4.2], don't add anything, don't

subtract anything, present as it is and keep your spiritual strength intact,

then the preaching will go on. Nobody can disturb you.
