Category:We Have Not (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
The purity and success of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement rest entirely on the principle of unaltered transmission. Śrīla Prabhupāda repeatedly emphasizes that his disciples have not manufactured any new philosophy, secret mantras, or concocted meditation techniques. Their simple but profound duty is to repeat the exact instructions given by Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad-gītā and preserved by the paramparā. Because they rely entirely on absolute Vedic authority, devotees do not need to conduct mundane research. Furthermore, because their sole business is serving the Supreme Lord, they have no material anxiety, no hired workers, no mundane political involvement, and no quarrel with other religions or the general public.
- Repeating, Not Manufacturing: The preaching mission is strictly based on repeating the authorized words of Kṛṣṇa and the previous ācāryas, completely avoiding the dangerous trap of mental speculation and concocted ideas.
- No Need for Mundane Research: By accepting the perfect knowledge descending through the śruti, devotees save immense time and do not have to tax their brains with flawed scientific research.
- Universal Vision and No Quarrels: The movement welcomes everyone without distinction of race or nationality. Devotees have no quarrel with other religions or even meat-eaters, as their only goal is to awaken dormant love of God.
- Freedom from Material Anxiety: Because they depend entirely on Kṛṣṇa for their maintenance and work selflessly for His pleasure, the devotees have no scarcity, no hired men, and no economic anxiety.
- No Secret Mantras: Unlike cheating religious groups, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement has no secret mantras; the chanting of the holy names is open and freely distributed to everyone.
