In analysing Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON movement, we can see many options and paths opening or open . The conversations Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu had with Ramananda Roy bring clarity to what’s going on .
From Varna Ashram duties , then giving something of them to krishna , then giving up Varna Ashram pe say as an ultimate by understanding its credits and faults , and then doing everything for Krishna’s sake , then acquiring knowledge and realising scientific self realisation with brahman realisations , then hearing from a pure devotee directly, studying sastra , chanting the holy name and engagement in services under the direction for further knowledge Sadhana bhakti …..Prabhupada by passed the previous methods and immediately brought western devotees to this stage , some lasted , some fell back into previous stages, but previous stages are one up to where they were , no loss for them at all .
Then next , becoming fixed up and steady in learning to be a good servant and acquiring greed and inquisitiveness to delve deeper and deeper into the ocean of blissful life , becoming a good steady servant is the essential before approaching the futher aspects in Mahāprabhu’s conversations where from being a good servant leads to friendship, or parenthood or intimate friends and lovers of many kinds in the spiritual realms culminating in the glorious position of Srimati Radharani in Goloka Vrndavana.
The writings of all the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas who have been accepted by our disciplic successions headed by Srila Rupa Goswami, Srila Ragganatha das Goswami , Srila Jiva Goswami and Srila Sanantana Goswami , those that Srila Prabhupada, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur have show should be referenced and carefully studied with devotion , only by the grace of all our acaryas can we understanding the conclusions of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s conversation with Ramananda Roy and understand why they took place .
