Samba is right. This is why Srila Prabhupada wrote his books and made it his absolute priority during his lila here in the material world. His books give us the association of pure Vaisnava devotees. This is the magnanimity of our guru maharaja; he freely delivered the association of pure Vaisnava devotees to anyone and everyone through his divine Books. There is no fence around them nor any hard and fast rules for qualifying to read them other than minimal reading ability. He also said there are two programs for spiritual advancement which he preached; the chanting of the holy names of the Lord are sufficient to deliver everyone and, his books, for those who have a desire to develop scientific knowledge of God. His programs do not change until another parampara guru has appeared and MAY decide to adjust things according to time and circumstance. I do not believe that that "torch" has been passed as yet?
