has taken shelter of Krishna

So mad-asrayaḥ means directly we cannot take shelter of Krsna. Therefore, one who has taken shelter of Krsna, one who knows the science of Krsna, one who knows what is Krsna-you take shelter of that person. Mad-asrayaḥ. Taking shelter, adau gurv-asrayam, that is the process of this Krsna consciousness movement. Adau, in the beginning, you have to take shelter of guru. Adau gurv-asrayam sad-dharma-prccha: "Then you inquire from him about Krsna." Sad-dharma-prccha, sadhu-marganugamanam: "Then follow the footstep of big, big devotees." Just like Prahlada Maharaja, a great devotee; Kapiladeva, a great devotee; and similarly, Brahma, a great devotee. Lord Siva is great devotee; Narada Muni, a great devotee. There are... Especially twelve names are given in the sastras, that we have to follow them. That is called sampradaya. Sampradaya means coming in disciplic succession from the original guru. Just like Krsna instructed Brahma, so Brahma is one of the gurus. So Brahma-sampradaya there is. Brahma-sampradaya. Our this Gauḍiya-sampradaya belongs to that Brahma-sampradaya. In this way there is Ramanuja-sampradaya. This sampradaya comes from the goddess of fortune, Laksmiji, Sri-sampradaya. In this way there are twelve mahajanas. They are stated in the sastra. Mahajano yena gataḥ sa panthaḥ [Cc Madhya 17.186]. We have to take the path of mahajana, and the purpose is how to increase your attachment for Krsna. This is the business. And this business you can occupy yourself in this human form of life.    (More...)
