And what is wrong to accept a conclusion based solely on Srila Prabhupada's words without bothering to insist for support, if Srila Prabhupada has proofed his full Krsna consciousness? Of course if we misinterpret his words then we have current sadhu and guru to correct us, but if we don't have faith in them or they also misinterpret or we have no access to sastra and previous acarya writtings then what? ys dvd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
