Category:Our Belief (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
The foundation of pure devotional service rests upon absolute trust in the Supreme Lord. Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches his disciples that true belief is never based on blind faith or imaginary fairy-tales. Instead, it requires the practical and scientific acceptance of Kṛṣṇa's supreme authority as presented in the Vedic scriptures. By firmly accepting His divine protection and His promise to maintain all living entities, a devotee becomes fearless. Ultimately, simply choosing to believe His words rather than the speculations of mundane scholars guarantees the soul's successful return to the spiritual world.
- Accepting Scriptural Authority: True spiritual life begins by submissively accepting the words of the Bhagavad-gītā and the paramparā system without unnecessary interpretation.
- Trusting Divine Maintenance: Because the Supreme Father maintains everyone, believers do not suffer from material anxiety regarding economic development or overpopulation.
- The Reality of the Spiritual Realm: Concepts like reincarnation and the transcendental abode of Goloka Vṛndāvana are not fairy-tales, but absolute facts.
- Rejecting Mundane Speculation: Sincere followers completely reject the comparative study of religion and the theories of mundane rascals, choosing instead to believe only Kṛṣṇa.

K
- Kirtanananda does not believe in parampara or in the necessity of scriptural authority. He seems to feel that this is a sort of tyranny. That means, after taking sannyasa and understanding the philosophy for more than a year, he has changed the whole view
- Krsna says, mattah parataram nanyat (BG 7.7). Aham sarvasya prabhavo (BG 10.8). So if we have to believe Bhagavad-gita, then Krsna is the Supreme. That's all

- We do not say that we do not believe in the demigods. No, we believe in. But they are servants. We cannot make the servant & master on the equal footing. We worship Durga. Now, what is the function? She is acting by the desire of the Supreme Lord, Govinda
