this one is to good to be accepted what Srila Prabhupada wants

[Guest guest]

Prabhupäda: Then, from Krishna, Närada. From Närada, Vyäsadeva. From

Vyäsadeva to Madhväcärya, from Madhväcärya to Ésvara Puri, Mädhavendra Puri,

then Caitanya Mahäprabhu, then His disciples, the six Goswämés, then Krishna

däsa Kaviräja, then Baladeva Vidyäbhüñaëa. So we are taking account very

rigidly from Caitanya Mahäprabhu, and I am the tenth generation from

Caitanya Mahäprabhu.

Mohsin Hassan: Yeah, the tenth. After you, is it any decision has been made

who will take over?

Prabhupäda: Yes. All of them will take over. These students, who are

initiated from me, all of them will act as I am doing. Just like I have got

many Godbrothers, they are all acting. Similarly, all these disciples which

I am making, initiating, they are being trained to become future spiritual

masters.

Mohsin Hassan: How many swamis do you initiated, American? I'm speaking just

on...

Prabhupäda: About ten.

Mohsin Hassan: You have ten swamis. And outside of swamis, what's the

lower...

Prabhupäda: Now, they're competent. They can, not only the swamis, even the

gåhasthas, they are called däsa adhikäré, and brahmacärés, everyone can,

whoever is initiated, he is competent to make disciples. But as a matter of

etiquette they do not do so in the presence of their spiritual master. This

is the etiquette. Otherwise, they are competent. They can make disciples and

spread. They can recruit more members in this. They do, but they are being

trained up. Just like here in this meeting, one of my disciples, he is

acting as priest. It is not myself; he is acting. So some of my students,

they are acting as priests, some of them are swamis, so they are competent

to make disciples.
