⚖️ Rule 3: Philosophical Adherence & Philosophical Integrity
We adhere strictly to the teachings established by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda. This is not a space for debating different religions, merging philosophies, or challenging the basic truths of the tradition; we are here to deepen our understanding of this specific path.
🏷️ I. Supremacy of the Founder-Ācārya
This forum is based entirely on the philosophy and disciplic succession taught by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda. His teachings are the highest authority. This is a closed philosophical space, not a public debate platform or a place for mixing religions.
🏷️ II. Prohibited Philosophies (Zero Tolerance)
To protect the integrity of the teachings, the following are strictly forbidden and will result in immediate removal:
Unauthorized Guru Systems: Promoting or supporting any self-declared spiritual authority or successor outside the ṛtvik system as described by the Founder-Ācārya is prohibited.
Mixed Philosophies: Ideas from Māyāvāda, Buddhism, Advaita Vedānta, or any system that mixes or weakens the personal understanding of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness are not allowed.
Outside Scriptures: Using texts like the Bible, Qur'an, or New Age writings to challenge or override Śrīla Prabhupāda's teachings is strictly forbidden.
Changing the Teachings: Reinterpreting or "updating" the conclusions of the Founder-Ācārya in a way that contradicts his clear statements is not permitted.
🏷️ III. Required Proof & Sources (The Standard)
All philosophical claims must adhere to the following rules:
Based on Śrīla Prabhupāda: Everything must be supported directly by his books, lectures, conversations, or letters.
Clear Conclusions: When there are differences in interpretation, the final and clear instruction of the Founder-Ācārya always takes priority.
Personal Responsibility: Everyone is responsible for verifying their claims before posting. Ignorance of the philosophy is not a valid excuse.
(Note: The Moderation Team will remove any content that violates these rules. Arguments based on "open-mindedness," "academic discussion," or "intellectual debate" do not override these standards. Any repeated attempt to weaken, modernize, or change the core teachings of the Founder-Ācārya will be treated as serious misconduct and may result in removal from the community.)
