THE INFALLIBLE DISCIPLIC SUCCESSION OF ACARYAS

The following points to observe:

1) Srila Prabhupada is the LAST mentioned name 30. SRI SRIMAD BHAKTIVEDANTA.

There is no mention AT ALL of Sridhara Maharaja, Narayana Maharaja etc of the

Gaudiya math. They are NOT recognised AT ALL.

2) The disciplic succession is of ACARYAS

3) The acaryas of the disciplic succession are infallible protected by Lord

Krsna.Lord Brahma himself was given protection.

4) So-called acaryas ROGUES MOST DANGEROUS ELEMENTS FALL DOWN.

 

THIS EXTRAORDINARY IMMORTALITY ON THE PART OF BRAHMA WAS HEARD TO HAVEOCCURRED

IN SOME PARTICULAR KALPA, BUT IT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE KALPA IN WHICH

BRAHMA HEARD DIRECTLY FROM THE LORD THE FOUR ESSENTIAL VERSES OF

SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM BECAUSE THE LORD BLESSED BRAHMA, AFTER GIVING HIM LESSONS ON

THE BHAGAVATAM, THAT HE WOULD NEVER BE BEWILDERED IN ANY KALPA WHATSOEVER. THIS

INDICATES THAT BEFORE THE HEARING OF SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM HE MIGHT HAVE FALLEN A

VICTIM TO SUCH SENSUALITY, BUT AFTER HEARING SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM DIRECTLY FROM

THE LORD, THERE WAS NO POSSIBILITY OF SUCH FAILURES.SB 3.12.28

 

68-02-13. Letter: Upendra

There are four Sampradayas from the beginning of the creation. One is called

Brahma Sampradaya, and is coming down by disciplic succession from Brahma;

another Sampradaya is coming down from Laksmi, called Sri Sampradaya; another

is coming down from the Kumaras, they are known as Nimbarka Sampradaya; another

Sampradaya is coming from Lord Siva, Rudra Sampradaya or Visnu Swami. These are

four bona fide Sampradayas that are accepted by the bona fide spiritualists.

The Impersonalist Sampradaya is not original neither the Impersonalist

Sampradaya or party can help us. At the present moment there are so many

Sampradayas, but we have to test them about their method of disciplic

understanding. Anyway, all the four Sampradayas above mentioned, they are after

worshipping the Supreme Lord Visnu, in His different Expansions, and some of

them are in favor of worshipping Radha Krishna. In the later age the Brahma

Sampradaya was handed down though Madhva Acarya; in this Madhva Acarya

disciplic succession came Isvara Puri. This Isvara Puri was accepted as

Spiritual Master of Lord Caitanya. Therefore, we being in disciplic succession

of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, we are known as the Madhva Sampradaya. And because Lord

Caitanya appeared in Bengal, which country is called Gaudadesa, our Sampradaya

party is known as Madhva Gaudiya Sampradaya. But all these Sampradayas are

non-different from one another because they believe and worship the Supreme

Lord. Any other Sampradaya who are Impersonalist or voidist or non-devotee,

they are rejected by us. MY GURU MAHARAJA WAS IN THE 10TH GENERATION FROM LORD

CAITANYA. WE ARE 11TH FROM LORD CAITANYA. THE DISCIPLIC SUCESSION IS AS

FOLLOWS: 1. SRI KRISHNA, 2. BRAHMA, 3. NARADA, 4. VYASA, 5. MADHVA, 6.

PADMANABHA, 7. NRIHARI, 8. MADHAVA, 9. AKSHOBHYA, 10. JAYATIRTHA, 11.

JNANASINDHU, 12. PURUSOTTAMA, 13. VIDYANIDHI, 14. RAJENDRA, 15. JAYADHARMA, 16.

PURUSOTTAMA, 17. VYASATIRTHA, 18. LAKSMIPATI, 19. MADHAVENDRA PURI, 20. ISVARA

PURI (ADVAITA, NITYANANDA) 21. SRI CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU, 22. (SVARUPA, SANATANA)

RUPA, 23.(JIVA) RAGHUNATH, 24. KRISHNA DASA, 25. NAROTTAMA, 26. VISVANATHA, 27.

(BALADEVA.) JAGANNATHA, 28. (BHAKTIVINODE) GAURA-KISORA, 29. SRILA

BHAKTISIDDHANTA SARASVATI, SRI BARSHABHANAVIDAYITADAS, 30. SRI SRIMAD

BHAKTIVEDANTA.

SB 3.29.17 P Explanation of Devotional Service by Lord Kapila

In Bhagavad-gita, Thirteenth Chapter, it is clearly stated that one should

execute devotional service and advance on the path of spiritual knowledge by

accepting the acarya. ACARYOPASANAM: ONE SHOULD WORSHIP AN ACARYA, A SPIRITUAL

MASTER WHO KNOWS THINGS AS THEY ARE. THE SPIRITUAL MASTER MUST BE IN THE

DISCIPLIC SUCCESSION FROM KRSNA. THE PREDECESSORS OF THE SPIRITUAL MASTER ARE

HIS SPIRITUAL MASTER, HIS GRAND SPIRITUAL MASTER, HIS GREAT-GRAND SPIRITUAL

MASTER AND SO ON, WHO FORM THE DISCIPLIC SUCCESSION OF ACARYAS.

Srila Prabhupada is the prominent acarya. We all QUOTE him as authority. Srila

Prabhupada's Law Books are ONLY quoted. 68-04-12.Day Letter: DayanandaRegarding

parampara system: there is nothing to wonder for big gaps.Just like we belong to

the Brahma Sampradaya, so we accept it from Krishna to Brahma, Brahma to Narada,

Narada to Vyasadeva, Vyasadeva to Madhva, and between Vyasadeva and Madhva there

is a big gap. But it is sometimes said that Vyasadeva is still living, and

Madhva was fortunate enough to meet him directly. In a similar way, we find in

the Bhagavad-gita that the Gita was taught to the sungod, some millions of

years ago, but Krishna has mentioned only three names in this parampara

system--namely, Vivasvan, Manu, and Iksvaku; and so these gaps do not hamper

from understanding the parampara system. We have to pick up the prominent

acaryas, and follow from him. There are many branches also from the parampara

system, and it is not possible to record all the branches and sub-branches in

the disciplic succession. We have to pick up from the authority of the acharya

in whatever sampradaya we belong to.

Isopanisad 12

The Lord states that as soon as one reaches Him by devotional service--which is

the one and only way to approach the Personality of Godhead--one attains

complete freedom from the bondage of birth and death. In other words, the path

of salvation from the material clutches fully depends on the principles of

knowledge and detachment gained from serving the Lord. The pseudo religionists

have neither knowledge nor detachment from material affairs, for most of them

want to live in the golden shackles of material bondage under the shadow of

philanthropic activities disguised as religious principles. By a false display

of religious sentiments, they present a show of devotional service while

indulging in all sorts of immoral activities. In this way they pass as

spiritual masters and devotees of God. Such violators of religious principles

have no respect for the authoritative acaryas, the holy teachers in the strict

disciplic succession. THEY IGNORE THE VEDIC INJUNCTION ACARYOPASANA--"ONE MUST

WORSHIP THE ACARYA"--and Krsna's statement in the Bhagavad-gita (4.2) evam

parampara-praptam, "This supreme science of God is received through the

disciplic succession." Instead, to mislead the people in general they

themselves become so-called acaryas, but they do not even follow the principles

of the acaryas. These rogues are the MOST DANGEROUS ELEMENTS in human society.

Because there is no religious government, they escape punishment by the law of

the state. They cannot, however, escape the law of the Supreme, who has clearly

declared in the Bhagavad-gita that envious demons in the garb of religious

propagandists shall be thrown into the darkest regions of hell (Bg. 16.19-20).

SRI ISOPANISAD CONFIRMS THAT THESE PSEUDO RELIGIONISTS ARE HEADING TOWARD THE

MOST OBNOXIOUS PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THEIR SPIRITUAL

MASTER BUSINESS, WHICH THEY CONDUCT SIMPLY FOR SENSE GRATIFICATION.
