Genuine Krishna consciousness transcends external ritual and offers real transformation, unlike false gurus who exploit desperation with magic and easy promises.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
] Amogha: Yes. Easy Journey, Topmost Yoga, Back to Godhead.
Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa trilogy, you have got? Amogha: I have volume 1 and volume 3, but my volume 2, they are all finished. But I've ordered them from Karāndhara. [pause] [break] [on walk]
Prabhupāda: He doesn't want any improvement. He wants to keep it as a... Just like professional church, temple. Amogha: They're more attached to the external form that they already have.
Prabhupāda: No, no, that is which we call Churchianity. Not Christianity, but Churchianity. Amogha: Churchianity. [laughs] Devotee (2): Also, he may lose his position, because he has no knowledge of [indistinct].
Prabhupāda: That is going on everywhere. These our Indian people, they're not interested in God. They're interested in āśīrvāda, some blessing, so that they can make improvement in their material position. Amogha: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So therefore these rascals come, they give them āśīrvāda, I give them, "I am so powerful, I give you asirvada," and they give them money, "Oh, here is a sādhu." They'll get āśīrvāda very cheaply, and make money. Instead of two lakhs, I'll make ten lakhs by the āśīrvāda. And he's Sai Baba, like rogues, they come to show them some magic, that "I have got some power. I can do anything I like. And if you become my devotee, you will improve." All these yogīs, everything, they do like that.
Mahesh Yogi also: "Take my mantra. Within six months you become perfect man, and whatever you like, you can do." Devotee (3): Ha, ha. No restrictions. Prabhupāda: No. There is business only.
