He explains that to understand complex subjects like the transmigration of the soul, the nature of liberation, and the identity of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one must consult authoritative texts such as the Bhagavad-gita, Brahma-samhita, and the Puranas. Srila Prabhupada strictly warns against unauthorized practices, citing Rupa Gosvami to show that any so-called devotional service ignoring the sruti, smrti, and Pancaratrika guidelines is merely a disturbance in society. He points out that while modern people easily accept newspapers as authority, they often neglect the perfect, descending knowledge of the Vedas. To combat this bewilderment, Srila Prabhupada dedicated his life to translating and publishing volumes of authorized Vedic literature, providing humanity with the factual, scientific foundation needed to achieve the ultimate perfection of life.

I
- It is a great science. It is not a sentiment. It is based on philosophy and authorized Vedic literature. So our only request is that you try to take this movement very seriously and you will be happy
- It is very scientific and authorized, Vedic. We are receiving this knowledge direct from Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is Bhagavad-gita
S
- So our Krsna consciousness movement is just according to the direction of authoritative Vedic literature, and we are distributing this knowledge without any charge. We don't say there is any secrecy. It is wide open. Open secret
- Srila Rupa Gosvami has said in Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.2.101: Devotional service to the Lord that ignores the authorized Vedic literatures - the Upanisads, Puranas, Narada-pancaratra, etc. - is simply an unnecessary disturbance in society
- Srila Rupa Gosvami writes in his Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu: Devotional service of the Lord that ignores the authorized Vedic literatures like the Upanisads, Puranas, Narada-pancaratra, etc., is simply an unnecessary disturbance in society. BG 1972 purports
- Svadhyayah means - reading the authorized Vedic scriptures. Even if one is not Krsna conscious and is practicing the yoga system, he must read standard Vedic literatures in order to understand. Performance of yoga alone is not sufficient
T

- The Supreme Lord is Sri Krsna, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita, Brahma-samhita and other authorized Vedic literatures
- The third offense is to consider the bona fide spiritual master to be a common man. The fourth offense is to blaspheme Vedic literature and authorized scriptures like the Puranas
- There are so many scientific problem about this life and transmigration of the soul. You can understand from the authorized Vedic literature how the soul transmigrates from one body to another
- These informations are there in authorized Vedic literature. We can understand what is Krsna, what is God, what He is doing, what is His name, what is His father's name - everything we can give - in full detail. That is Krsna consciousness movement
- This is a great science, Krsna science, krsna-tattva. So we have to learn from the authorized Vedic literature about Krsna. And that is required in human life
- This Krsna consciousness movement is trying to rectify this mistake. Bhagavad-gita is the most authorized scripture in the Vedic literature. Vedic literature means it is not spoken by any ordinary human being

Y
- You believe some authority. We believe some authority. What is the difference. You take newspaper as authority. We take Vedic literature as authority. Where is the difference
- You have to learn from the authorized Vedic literature. You cannot imagine. You cannot speculate. You have to learn from authority
