Esoteric Cor and peripherals practices and linking processes   the ever increasing ISKCON community.

The epistemology and etymology of the Gaudia Vaisnava tradition, along with its spiritual and esoteric practices , are central to Gaudia Vaisnavaism  .Whereas peripheral beliefs and practices concerning various aspects of  learning within the many Dharmic  approaches , that direct persons towards cor beliefs , by utilising practical living and recommended regulated guidance in a life , also bring many practical gradual methods of purification . The Smriti of some aspects of Vedas can be in themselves  entangling . Narada Muni informed Veda Vyasadeva of their difficulties. However, the Smriti of the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana under Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu are highly transcendental and chalk out the correctly calculated gradual spiritual developments . They are correctly derived from the Vedas aiming at the need to understand and progress each  candidate toward  the core in systematic ways . Sri Caitanya teachings  and the ISKCON movement work well together , practically billions of people are making their approaches to Krishna and rendering service’s,  the expertise of Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is on full veiw,  its his strong desire to please Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja that we see . ISKCON is easily accessible to anyone, and a spiritual journey will begin from the peripheral to the cor . Proper understanding of ISKCON and its broad  approach in teaching  Vedic culture should  be examined .

.Such  PERIPHERAL practices that are primarily directed by the Smriti of the Goswami’s are also at times adapted and  changed , according to time place and  circumstances. The greater broadness of the Dharma and Artha sastra of the Vedas can also interlink and move persons towards the Goswami’s Smriti.

The two distinct  systems  of cor esoteric and peripheal  practices should give support to each other , but the peripheral practices  should not supersede the core beliefs  or take priority over the practices that bring one to the param gatim , the ultimate goal that Mahāprabhu clearly defines in his conversations with Ramananda Roy. 

As ISKCON spreads it’s wings it should probably make clear to itself , and its following,  what is its function in the above considerations . Some will argue  , that ISKCON should play a direct role in all the peripherals and  the esoteric core practices , and others will stick strongly to the argument that only the core beliefs should be prioritised and its practices are its main concern . Automatically, if the core beliefs and practices are prioritised, ISKCONs mission will be successful, and if it loses sight of its deep core beliefs and practices, everything will be lost in time, some will say .Essentially, both the cor and peripherals are needed , that is the business of the Sankirtana movement that Prabhupada brought to the West , we need men and money to preach Prabhupada said .

In Bhagavad Gita 2.46.

Krishna speaks of this topic , all purposes of a small well can be served by a great ocean , all purposes of the Vedas are served by one who knows the purposes behind the Vedas .

His Divine Grace Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami knew the purposes and conducted his mission to astounding levels of success,  that are ever increasing,  so many devotees rendering services,  the world is changing.
