  1. There have been several important proposed and attempted changes to Srila Prabhupada's established method of conducting the propagation of the sankirtana movement. Changes in his books, changes in the process for determining who is guru, and probably another thousand different changes. This sounds like more proposed change, but the question really is what change is successful? Has any good come out of all the other changes? Everyone has free will to do whatever he or she wants, including devotees. What improvement has come out of changing the instruction of the guru maharaja, Srila Prabhupada? I think it was the rule that Srila Prabhupada tried all types of innovation to bring Krishna consciousness to the world, and that type of innovation can and should be encouraged, when the result is that people are becoming converted to Krishna consciousness. Yet so many of the changes appear to be based upon changing the philosophy, or appeasing the material expectations of some materialists' ideology; in short, compromising. Keep with the basics, I'd say, rather than change things; things that have been established by such a great acarya. I don't think that the eagerness to establish new things would have been attempted or suggested in the physical presence of the acarya.
