| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ (CC Madhya 17.186). Vaiṣṇava should follow his previous mahājana, authority. That is Vaiṣṇavism. We don't manufacture ideas. We don't commit such rascaldom. We simply accept the behavior or the activities of previous ācārya. There is no difficulty. There is no difficulty. So in the fighting principle, Arjuna is fighting for Kṛṣṇa. He is following the previous fighting ācārya, Hanumānji. Therefore he has depicted his flag with Hanumān, that 'Hanumānji, Vajrāṅgajī, kindly help me'. This is Vaiṣṇavism. 'I have come here to fight for Lord Kṛṣṇa. You fought also for the Lord, kindly help me'. This is the idea. Kapi-dhvajaḥ. So any activities of the Vaiṣṇava, they should always pray to the previous ācārya, 'Kindly help me. Kindly...' This is..., Vaiṣṇava is always thinking himself helpless. Helpless. And begging help from the previous ācārya." |
