Hare Krishna To all
Pranams
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Below is the last part of one SB lecture given by Srila Prabhupada on how Vedic knowledge is received.
It is NEVER changed down thru time, otherwise it loses its inherent authority. Some present day so called followers of Srila Prabhupada think otherwise, and therefore what they produce – is flawed from the inception of their endeavors.

” Just like the Christians, they are changing the words. But you cannot do that. Then where is the authority? If you change the word of the scripture, then where is the authority of the scripture?”
Prabhupada, Los Angeles, September 20, 1972: […] Now we have to accept knowledge from Vedas, Vedic knowledge, not this rascal’s knowledge. Rascal knowledge is that “Yes,” as soon as he comes to the imperfect point, “yes, we are trying.” You are trying.
What is this trying? Trying means that your knowledge is imperfect.
And another rascal will come, [Jayadvaita and Dravida] he will say, “Now here is the perfect.”
And ten years after, another rascal will come,” No, this is not perfect. This is perfect.” This is going on. This is called scientific advancement. This is… Advancement means… But we don’t change our Vedic knowledge. We do not say, “Now, Krishna, five thousand years ago, said like this. Now we are advanced. We change this line.” Of course, others are doing. In the scriptures… Just like the Christians, they are changing the words. But you cannot do that. Then where is the authority? If you change the word of the scripture, then where is the authority of the scripture? Just like in lawbooks, there is some law made already. Whimsically you cannot, I mean to say, erase the words and put something that “It should be changed like this.” That will not be accepted. Law, if there is change… Actually, there is no change.
There cannot be change. Real law means there is no change. Just like day and night, it is coming. The fortnight, the dark period and the light period, it is coming for millions and millions and time immemorial. The same law is going, going on. You cannot change. So as soon as you change, that means it is imperfect. You change.
So Vedic laws are not like that. You cannot change. Five thousand years ago Krishna said, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja:
“You give up all other religious principles. Simply surrender unto Me.” We are preaching the same thing. No change. No change. There is no possibility of change. Then how Krishna is authority? So change means imperfect knowledge. This very change. And perfect knowledge… You will find that one who is very experienced medical practitioner, he gives you a prescription, and you visit him again and again, he gives you the same prescription unless you are cured. His prescription is so nice that he doesn’t change. But a non-experienced physician, every time you go, he will change the prescription. But actually, those who are experienced, he knows “This is the disease, and ultimately this medicine will cure. So let him repeat that medicine.” So our is that platform. Harer nama harer nama harer namaiva kevalam. We repeat only.
We don’t change: “Now harinama is not curing so let me add, instead of Hare Krishna, ‘John Krishna,’ if I may.” No. No “John Krishna.” (laughter)
That same Hare Krishna must be repeated. And you will be cured. So change means imperfect knowledge. No change means that is perfect knowledge. So we follow that no change policy. No, not that because I think I have become now advanced, I change this to that. That mean I am not advanced. My knowledge is imperfect. Therefore I am changing. […] Full lecture
pamho agtACBSP,
SRILA PRABHUPADA were physically very old when HE left india to execute the order of HIS guru maharaj but HIS internal nature was showing a timeless age which is a high classic quality in all the vaikunta men and if the pukka guru is a vaikunta man HIS disciples also will become vaikunta man simply by keeping meditating on the vani seva of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA as SRILA PRABHUPADA did with HIS param pukka simha guru SBSST,
to keep change bodies and mentality is the low classic example of someone who is strictly under the miserable slavery of the bodily concept of life, all the misconceptions misunderstanding through the mental speculation show very clearly how one is trapped in a physical form since ages,
to be disturbed by the crowd generally is another proof of the bodily concept of life i mean a parivrajakacharya as SRILA PRABHUPADA who is been travelling for 14 times around the globe without been disturbed is very rare,i saw the mental status and influences of the guru hoaxers when they give false diksa and i can see how they can’t control the result neither the mind i mean they say many silly things and some of them can’t control even the physical movements because they are disconnected from the general harmony because the SUPERSOUL want to open the eyes of all those blind and innocent people by showing them the fake position of the guru hoaxers which change constantly under the degraded influences of the factor time but people are so blind in f-iskcon that they can’t see even this simple things,
spiritual journey means to not care about all the mental and physical changes due to the influences of the factor time in the material world by trying to become a vaikunta man as our guru maharaj is still showing us through HIS spiritual and immortal presence free from the slavery changes of all the saguna forms,one don’t change anymore when one find out the spiritual body because that’s perfect and never change
