Importance of Disciplic Succession

August 8: Srimad Bhagavatam is exclusively meant for paramahamsa's. To understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His energies is not easy. We can understand by only proper disciplic succession.

Nowadays, so many people are talking on Srimad Bhagavatam, especially in India, but they have no disciplic succession. No Guru parampara exists.

Krishna is telling that this knowledge is Confidential. Why is it so, when we are distributing BG for free? It is because if the parampara is not there, the mercy is not there and therefore, the message does not go through properly. It will only infuse mayavada concepts, pride and instead of rising up, we fall down further. Thats why Srila Prabhupada was very heavy that we should not be reading books of a mayavadi. Similar to drinking milk touched by the lips of a snake. Thats why you should never listen to anybody in those lines.

This is so because, Prabhupada is a pure devotee. Srila Prabhupada says, no credit belongs to him, he just is presenting his parampara as it is. Thats why Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam is so convincing and understanding. Our hearts change when we read Srila Prabhupada's books. We should not read anybody else's books at all. Only Srila Prabhupada's books.

Once we have fully established ourselves in Gaudiya Viashnava siddanta for at least 16-20 years, then if required to compare, we might read other Vaishnava literatures.
To have a strength to do all this, our chanting should be very very good.

Verse 1.1.3 concludes today.
