<div class="heading">Kṛṣṇa also recommended evaṁ paramparā-prāptam (BG 4.2). We have to receive knowledge through the disciplic succession. Mahājana-gataḥ. You cannot manufacture.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on CC Adi-lila 1.2 -- Mayapur, March 26, 1975|Lecture on CC Adi-lila 1.2 -- Mayapur, March 26, 1975]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Pradyumna: "I offer my respectful obeisances unto Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda, who are like the sun and moon. They have arisen simultaneously on the horizon of Gauḍa to dissipate the darkness of ignorance and thus wonderfully bestow benediction upon all."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda:</p>
:vande śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya-
:nityāndandau sahoditau
:gauḍodaye puṣpavantau
:citrau śandau tamo-nudau
:([[Vanisource:CC Adi 1.2|CC Adi 1.2]])
<p>So yesterday we discussed the first verse,</p>
:(vande) gurūn īśa-bhaktān
:īśam īśāvatārakān
:tat-prakāśāṁś ca tac-chaktiḥ
:kṛṣṇa-caitanya-saṁjñakam
:([[Vanisource:CC Adi 1.1|CC Adi 1.1]])
<p>Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, He has got manyfold expansion. The first expansion is prakāśa, svayaṁ-prakāśa, Balarāma. And Nityānanda is Balarāma. Vrajendra-nandana yei, śacī-sūta hoilo sei, balarāma hoilo nitāi. We have to understand from the mahājana, Narottama das Ṭhākura. Sometimes some foolish people interpret Nityānanda as expansion of Rādhārāṇī, but that is not the fact. Nityānanda is Balarāma. We have to know from mahājana. We cannot manufacture our own idea. That is blasphemy, sahajiyā. Yata mat tata pat. These things are not accepted by mahājana. Mahājana means who follows the previous mahājana. This is the system. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu strictly followed this principle. Kṛṣṇa also recommended evaṁ paramparā-prāptam ([[Vanisource:BG 4.2|BG 4.2]]). We have to receive knowledge through the disciplic succession. Mahājana-gataḥ. You cannot manufacture. This concoction has killed the spiritual life of India. "You can think any way; I can think in my way"—that is not at all scientific. You cannot think "Two plus two equal to three" or "five." Two plus two equal to four. You cannot think otherwise.</p>
