Gurukṛpā: That is what I think this disease is with the Siddha's group. They are looking for followers, and they do not preach in your style because they would not attract people.
Prabhupāda: Śrīdhara's group?
Gurukṛpā: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Śrīdhara Svāmī?
Gurukṛpā: No, Siddha-svarūpa.
Prabhupāda: Oh, Siddha-svarūpa, oh.
Gurukṛpā: They are after followers, and they do not speak strongly, for then people would go away.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: In one sense it's also confirmed by Rūpa Gosvāmī, yena tena prakāreṇa manaḥ kṛṣṇe niveśayet, sarve vidhi-niṣedhā syur... (Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.2.4).
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: That "First of all help people to think of Kṛṣṇa, and then later on, the rules and regulations..."
Gurukṛpā: But we follow in the footsteps... Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ (CC Madhya 17.186). We must follow what the spiritual master is doing. We cannot create our own way. Then we will not be successful.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: No, that's true, but...
Gurukṛpā: That is their idea. They have created their own way to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Prabhupāda: Yes, that idea is there. They are thinking of their own way. That is bad. We have got so much..., so many literatures. They are printing their own literature and... That is disturbing, yes. What he'll prepare? He's not a liberated person. He's thinking, somebody said, that "I'll give my interpretation on Bhāgavata." If these things are going, they are... It is against our principles. (break)
Gurukṛpā: You know how to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness; therefore I follow. I don't even know what Kṛṣṇa is. I'm just trying to follow. Therefore that will be successful.
Prabhupāda: That is my preaching. What Kṛṣṇa said, you say as it is. Don't change. How you can give interpretation? And if he thinks that he can give another interpretation, what is this nonsense? Then he's not following guru or Kṛṣṇa, both. Guru-kṛṣṇa-kṛpāya (CC Madhya 19.151). One has to receive the mercy of guru and Kṛṣṇa. Through guru, Kṛṣṇa's mercy.
Gurukṛpā: If they go on like this, can this be considered sampradāya-vihīna ye mantras te viphalaṁ mataḥ (Padma Purāṇa)? That is, their mantra is not so effective if people are surrendering to Kṛṣṇa. (break) (end)
