every statement spoken in lecture is a statement given by
SP in one of his lecture. Although GM knows much more
on subject matters but he does not talk beyon what

Prabhupada's instructions Guru Maharaj has spread the
movement all over the world with so much success.

Guru Maharaj never gives SB class if a senior devotee is
present in temple. On stage he speaks only after others
have spoken. He personally tok care of the needs of every
Prabhupada disciple was taken care of during 40th
anniversary festival. In meetings he listens to every
devotee, even they are like children in front of him.
Guru Mharaj says a vaishnava is identified by his qualities
not on basis of his attire. The qualities are defined on
basis of Shastras. Whenever Guru Maharaj, mentions
about the pastimes of Mahaprabhu, often he talks about
Kolabecha Shridhar who was living in utmost poor
condition and yet was completely devoted to the Lord.
As long as the faults of a devotee are not affecting the
mission of Krishna consciousness, even if it is a personal
attack- mental, verbal or physical, Guru Maharaj
tolerates. Whenever he gets an opportunity he glorifies
devotee even if he has done a small thing. He feels
gratitude because that devotee has done something for
Shrila Prabhupada.
Guru Maharaj very cautiously takes the Charnamrita so
that it does not falls. He takes prasad with alertness
This is very much evitable, Guru Maharaj is although is
the King in ISKCON, but he always tries to keep his profile
so low and always seeks permission even from local
temple authority.
Guru Maharaj never discriminates devotees based on
their material activities, one good quality even very small
is sufficient to glorify the devotee

Guru Maharaj, insists devotees to come to temple atleast
once in a week and attend temple program. He himself
visits temples in Yatras as far as possible.
Till date nobody can tell much details about Personal
dealings of Guru Maharaj with Prabhupada, Guru Maharaj
has built so many temples but he does not let anyone
glorigy him. No body can tell the exact number of temples
he has built till now. He feels very shy if his god brothers
glorify him or his disciples chant loudly- "Jai Bhagavat
pada".
AS long as activity is not affecting the mission, or creating
an offense to other Vaishnava, Guru Maharaj tolerates

disciples away from pretenders. He always mentions
about how to deal with devotees of 3 types- those who
are more advanced than you, those who are equal and
those who have less knowledge than you.
Guru Maharaj is Saar Grahi. He is so much dedicated to
the mission that he never pays attention to harsh words.
He is always ready to do good for devotees even those
who sometimes stand against him.
