- Accepting disciples born in brahmana families, they (Thakura Raghunandana Acarya, Thakura Krsnadasa, Navani Hoda and Rasikananda-deva (a disciple of Syamananda Prabhu)) are bona fide spiritual masters who have the facility to worship the salagrama-sila
- According to Vedic culture, the higher class, in every home there is narayana-sila for worship, especially of the brahmins

- One thing, that we have got this salagrama-sila. So if you like to personally worship, we can keep it. Otherwise I am sending to Bombay

S
- Sannyasis generally take prasadam in the house of a brahmana because the brahmana worships the Lord Narayana sila, or salagrama-sila, and therefore there is prasadam that the sannyasi may take
