Everyone Has The Right to Krishna Consciousness

If we do not do our best to bring Krishna Consciousness to other beings, we are acting violently toward them. If we do not act to relieve suffering in others, we are doing them an injustice. Krishna Consciousness means the real end of all suffering, so everyone has the right to Krishna Consciousness.

Categories of Disciples

Following instructions is a basic standard requirement. If we don't follow the instructions, we are considered to be a fallen disciple. If we follow the instructions then we are considered to be madhyam-disciples, if we do it fairly well. If we are able to understand what the spiritual master wants, even without him, giving instructions, then he is considered uttama-disciple.
