Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

When my Guru Mahārāja ordered me. This is the guru-paramparā.
Lecture on BG 7.2 -- Nairobi, October 28, 1975:

Indian man: When did you become the spiritual leader of Kṛṣṇa consciousness?

Prabhupāda: What is that?

Brahmānanda: He's asking when did you become the spiritual leader of Kṛṣṇa consciousness?

Prabhupāda: When my Guru Mahārāja ordered me. This is the guru-paramparā.

Indian: Did it...

Prabhupāda: Try to understand. Don't go very speedily. A guru can become guru when he's ordered by his guru. That's all. Otherwise nobody can become guru.

Indian woman 2: (Hindi)

Prabhupāda: (Hindi) Śādhi māṁ prapannam. "I am surrendered to You. Whatever You say, I shall carry out." That's all.

Indian man: When did he tell you to...?

Prabhupāda: What is the business, when did he tell me? And why shall I disclose to you? It is so very insignificant

thing that I have to explain to you?

Indian man: No, I am just curious when...

Prabhupāda: You should be curious within your limit. You should know that one can become guru when he is ordered by his guru, this much.
