chant in the morning all the rounds loudly and clearly hearing the chanting

is one way of improving. Also chant panca tattva mantra prior to chanting

each round and when the mind deviates.

I am not able to comment on what other religions are doing. Who is bona

fide and who are cheaters needs to be checked on an individual basis. We

verify everything with sastra. Check the VEDIC LITERATURES and see if what

they are saying is confirmed or not. If not we don't accept.

These Devas are the Bibhutis of Lord Sri Krishna. They contain some special

powers from Him. In other words what is great about them is actually a

partical representation of Lord Sri Krishna.

Well ultimately whatever you do is with your senses. So make the best

choice possible. If you choose ISKCON based not on your sentiment or

sensual perception alone, but also confirm it from sastra, sadhu and guru

then you will be sure to make the right choice. Sastra is above the

defects.

 

> 5) How to know that Guru Parampara is coming without any alteration?

 

We know Srila Prabhupada was a bona fide spiritual master and he has

confirmed the guru parampara to be accurate.
