Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Prabhupäda: Bring water, water. Water? So today is a very auspicious day, Öhäkura Bhaktivinoda's birthday. Here is the picture of Öhäkura Sac-cid-änanda Bhaktivinoda. He was one of the äcäryas of this disciplic succession from Kanëa. We have got a succession table from Kanëa, genealogical table. There are two kinds of genealogical tables, one by the semina-father, his son, his son, like that. That is material genealogical table. And there is one spiritual genealogical table, disciplic succession. Just like Kanëa. Kanëa, the original father, Supreme Personality of Godhead, He spoke the Vedic knowledge to Brahma, Lord Brahma. He spoke to Närada. Närada spoke to Vyäsa. Vyäsa spoke to Madhväcärya. So in this disciplic succession, Lord Caitanya, from Lord Caitanya, the six Gosvämés, and similarly, coming down, down, Bhaktivinoda Öhäkura, then Gaurakiçora däsa Bäbäjé Mahäräja, then my spiritual master, then we are next generation, my disciples. "If you are incapable of raising yourself to the standard of becoming spiritual master, that is not your spiritual master's fault, that is your fault.
