Your initiated
name is Yamunacarya. Yamunacarya was a great devotee. Formerly he was a
great king, and later on he became a great devotee and acharya of the
Ramanuja Sampradaya. There are many such Mahatmas, or great souls, in
the past, and if we follow in their footsteps carefully, that is the
perfection of fulfillment of our human form of life. To follow
in the footsteps of the Mahatmas means to give submissive aural
reception to the words and instructions of the bonafide Spiritual Master
in the line of disciplic succession from the Lord Himself. When
the Lord appeared on this earth 5,000 years ago, He instructed
Bhagavad-gita to Arjuna, and this purely transcendental message of
Krishna has been passed down for the past 5,000 years by the media of
sincere disciples giving submissive aural reception to the words of
Krishna via the medium of the bonafide Spiritual Master. This acts like
electricity, and if you touch a wire anywhere which is connected to the
powerhouse, then you will be in contact with the electric current. But
if the wire is broken or separated from the powerhouse, then there will
be no electric current. Similarly, if we hear the unadulterated
message of Lord Krishna from the authorized source, we will immediately
be in contact with the transcendental atmosphere; but if we listen to
someone who is presenting a broken, concocted version of Bhagavad-gita,
that will be useless.

to: Yamunacarya Tittenhurst 21 October, 1969)
