    All Glories to Srila Prabhupada. Maharaja's response is very thoughtful and balanced. He presented viewpoints from both scriptures, historical devotees' lives and then practical considerations. Maharaja seemed neither too eager to accept disciple, nor did he neglect or ignore the genuine query of a seeker, knowing he may not end up being his disciple. We can learn so much about Vaishnava behaviour (non envious. compassion) from this 15 mins talk. All glories to Maharaja.

    Dandavat Pranam Maharaj ji, In Gaudiya Maths there is no japa time because entire time is japa time in order to finish 64 rounds. However the guru may decrease the number to at least minimum 16 round as recommended by Srila Prabhupad. But indeed we are one family. Rupanuga, Prabhupadanuga. Srila Prabhupad is from Gaudiya math, so ISKCON is another branch of Gaudiya math, and is gaudiya math. Pranams.

      What is karma yoga? the actions done for krishna or the actions which take us towards liberation is karma yoga
      eg- Distributing krishna prasad, inspiring others to chant hare krishna or visit krishna temple, making others aware of vaishnava literature and philosophy
      Bhavas: ( " i eat so that i can be healthy, then i can do hari nam ", " i work to keep my life balanced, and in other times do hari naam" , " i do politics so that i can make india hindu rashtra and build more temples ")
      These actions and the bhavas( i mentioned in quotes )can be called karma yoga
      There are lot of idiots who think nithya karma is karma yoga, no working like donkey for raising kids or maintaining wife is not karma yoga
      If i marry a vaishnavi and raise a vaishnava kid then it is karma yoga, why? That kid is going to be a blessing for the world, he will chant hari nam and keep the environment pure
      But karma yoga alone cannot give liberation, hari naam is must

    Hare Krsna! There are different kinds of Guru, as the inspirer, the informer, the speaker, the guide etc... and there are also different levels of teachings from different gurus for different ashrama and purports, so we can learn different things according to our karma. In a certain way when we listen to a guru of course this make us to be his follower, in a theoretical way, if we listen from the heart, whether if we follow him also in a practical way we can reach his standard. So many different gurus but only one Krsna and if we pray Krsna the real Guru manifest Himself to us. Better to inquire and have different gurus from the same parampara, and everyone can teach us something...when we think to Shrila Prabhupada as an amazing preacher and acarya we reach the point because he put the seeds of bhakty in so many souls. He can teach us from the transcendental platform through his representatives on the same path with no doubt 🙏

    This is a wonderful pravachana on what can be a very thorny topic. This guidance is fully according to the standard etiquette and protocol of the Gaudiya Vaisnava sampradaya.
    In regard to SCSM and Gaudiya Math, SCSM is no more (and no less) "Gaudiya Math" than ISKCON is. Srila Prabhupada and Srila Sridhar Maharaj both withdrew from the Gaudiya Math during its succession controversies and divisions; and they were closely associated with each at that time, and throughout the remainder of Srila Prabhupada's manifest pastimes. ISKCON and SCSM are therefore parallel descendant branches of Gaudiya Math, neither being closer than the other to it.

    Ahh this has been a struggle. I love Krishna & Radha and been doing home worship for couple years. But i still want to find a kirtan or temple community and ISKCON is most easy option. I think Srila Prabhupada deserves praise/credit for his success spreading Krishna in the west, but at the same time I don't agree with 100% of his personal opinions and ISKCON devotees tend to idolize him to the point of defending instead of saying 'he's a man of a certain culture and certain time" in terms of views of women for example. Can't we use rationality and adjust to the times with accordance to science? I've met other gaudiya vaishnavites who agree and say gaudiy vaishnavism without iskcon initiation is fine. I'm a very liberal progressive person, so it's hard to relate to conservatism for me haha
    sorry for my little frustration :(

    If u want to join Iskcon full time take initiation from Iskcon Gurus.. If one want to join Gaudiya Matha take diksha from Gaudiya Matha.. That's it.. Gaudiya matha initiated devotees aren't accepted by Iskcon.. They don't take those devotees of Gaudiya matha for their full time service.. Neither Gaudiya matha sanyasis are accepted by Iskcon.. Both follow almost same philosophy same Sampradaya etc... Iskcon founder acharya himself belonged to Gaudiya matha.. Took diksha and sanyas from Gaudiya Matha.. But currently Iskcon doesn't accept service of Gaudiya matha devotees who want to do full time service in Iskcon.. But Iskcon devotees are easily accepted by Gaudiya Matha..

But the only thing which I can't do is to come temple regularly, I can come temple once in 4-5 months... Please tell me am I eligible for bhakti of krishna?

      Hare Krishna Deepak Sani ji. Many kings and Princes who have ruled the world have been devotees of Krishna despite their busy schedule. So there is no restriction. Please work hard and become an IPS officer and use your position to serve Sanatana Dharma. Chant regularly, reading Srimad Bhagavatam everyday and offer bhog to the Lord everyday, fast from grains on Ekadasi and circumambulate Tulasi ji everyday. Just by doing this your Bhakti will be protected.
      Thank you for your sincerity.
      Hare Krishna,
      Mukunda Bihari Das

      Who said you can do Bhakti only by remaining in or going to a temple? Your mind itself can become a temple if your thoughts are pure...in the Vishnu Puran lord Vishnu demonstrated to Narad Muni that his greatest devotee was a poor villager on earth who constantly chanted his name quietly while peforming his daily duties...instead of Narad Muni who always believed that he was indeed lord Vishnu's greatest devotee since he had no worldly occupation and was always engaged in glorying his name..

      (Managed by disciples) According to Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.10, the goal of life is to inquire into the absolute truth and one need only endeavor in life to maintain himself so that he can do that. our time, energy and resources are limited and so it would be most intelligent to put all our energy in spiritual realization and minimal amount in material endeavors. This is the ideal situation. However whatever situation you are in, you can read Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam, chant Hare Krishna, rise early for mangala arti (even in your own home) and make sure we eat only food offered to Krishna. Try to associate with devotees and attend programs as much as is possible. In this way, by practicing all these we can maintain a good consciousness and try to advance in Krishna consciousness.

    Why didn't he mention the initiation in and from the Traditional Parivars? Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu, Sri Nityananda Prabhu, Sri Advaita Prabhu, the rest of the Pancha Tattva, the Six Goswami's, and all other Gaudiya Vaisnavas were in the parivars and had traditional diksa all the way up to Srila BSST, who didn't take the traditional diksa, and formed the Gaudiya Matha, which has a number of differences from the traditional ways(even that of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, who was in the Nityananda Parivar, and no he never rejected it, or his diksa guru Srila Bipin Bihari Goswami). So why did he leave out such an important thing, that has been around for all the history of Gaudiyas, and without them, ISKCON and Gaudiya Matha(s) wouldn't even exist. The Gaudiya Matha was founded in 1918(the first temple that Srila BSST open after he took after taking Sanyassi-vesh was in 1918, Gaudiya Matha was established as it is, in 1920, but he called it Gaudiya Matha even in 1918).

      (Managed by disciples):
      Hare Krsna! Please listen to this talk again. In this talk, Maharaja is replying to a specific query from a devotee who is a part of Caitanya Sarasvata Matha, but he is inspired by Maharaja and is listening to his lectures for the past 3 years. Although he has a desire to get initiated by Maharaja, but he thinks the rules and regulations of ISKCON are too difficult for him to follow. Hence he is seeking advice from Maharaja. Therefore Maharaja is specifically answering to his query only. Although briefly he spoke about the Caitanya tree and its various branches, but why he has to elaborate on that when the query is specific to Gaudiya Matha or ISKCON. If we ask you to differentiate between a lion and a cow, then you will stick to the subject matter. You won't discuss about all the various species of animals and their origins etc. Also this talk was directed towards ISKCON members so that they can understand the importance of diksa. Hence your question doesn't seem valid.
