Imitation is not required. Real thing is required. How . . . what is the purpose of Gosvāmī? They say that yena tena prakāreṇa manaḥ kṛṣṇe. Somehow or other first of all engage him in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is my Guru Mahārāja's gift. He first of all started that there is no need of going to Vṛndāvana and imitate the Gosvāmīs. Live in big, big cities, in big, big palatial houses, but preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness. People may understand. Give chance to the people how they will understand Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He opened many centers. So similarly, in big, big cities, so we are doing that. And because we are following strictly the principles of Rūpa Gosvāmī, rūpānuga, therefore it is somehow or other coming out very successfully. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement should be pushed according to the rūpānuga principle.

Rūpa Gosvāmī says, sarve vidhi-niṣedha syur etayor eva kiṅkara. First of all, we must be Kṛṣṇa conscious somehow or other. We must find out. It can be changed according to country, climate and circumstances. But the result, we have to see by the result whether one has become Kṛṣṇa conscious. That is wanted. That is wanted. Then we say that this is the rule, you don't do this, we don't do this. In the beginning we have many difficulties. Because their behavior, their culture, everything just opposite. Just opposite. How you can expect everything to the right point? That is not possible. So we have to find out means how he becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious. That is my first business. So that is the secret.

So Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī followed strictly the Rūpa Gosvāmī. Just like Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī introduced that a sannyāsī should go for begging alms in motorcar. You see? In motorcar. They should live in palatial buildings. Now if in this age if we follow that rūpānuga . . . Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī used to live underneath a tree, and if we say: "Now we shall also imitate . . ." just like there are many bābājīs in Vṛndāvana, they are imitating, a small loincloth, but doing all nonsense.

So imitation is not required. Real thing is required. How . . . what is the purpose of Gosvāmī? They say that yena tena prakāreṇa manaḥ kṛṣṇe. Somehow or other first of all engage him in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is my Guru Mahārāja's gift. He first of all started that there is no need of going to Vṛndāvana and imitate the Gosvāmīs. Live in big, big cities, in big, big palatial houses, but preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness. People may understand. Give chance to the people how they will understand Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He opened many centers. So similarly, in big, big cities, so we are doing that. And because we are following strictly the principles of Rūpa Gosvāmī, rūpānuga, therefore it is somehow or other coming out very successfully. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement should be pushed according to the rūpānuga principle.

So here it is said, manye . . . here it is said, viprād dvi-ṣaḍ-guṇa-yutād aravinda-nābha-pādāravinda-vimukhāt śvapacaṁ variṣṭham ([[Vanisource:SB 1.7.10|SB 1.7.10]]), Prahlāda Mahārāja recommends. Śvapacam, śva means dog. Dog . . . pacati, those who eat dog's flesh, they are considered very low born. There are different kinds of flesh eaters. In the Āyurveda-śāstra they are called, those who are eating the flesh of dog, they are called śvapaca. Those who are eating the flesh of cows, they are go-kaga, māṁsada, these are so many. But in the Manu-saṁhitā it is said that if one eats the flesh of cow, he is called go-kaga, if one eats the flesh of dog, he is called śvapaca, if one eats the flesh of this—he is giving description—but one who eats fish, he eats all the fleshes. Matsada-sarva-māṁsada. If anyone eats fish, he eats all kinds of fleshes.
