Pravīnacandra: Uh, this is one article I [indistinct]. I brought for you. ¶

Prabhupāda: So your name is Sāndīpani Dāsī. Sāndīpani was the teacher of Kṛṣṇa. ¶
Devotees: [laughter] ¶
Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa, He’s teacher of the whole universe, but He had also a teacher. This is the example in character, that one has to accept a teacher, a spiritual master. Kṛṣṇa is giving knowledge. He’s…, His description is “all knowledge.” ¶
Samagra, full knowledge. But He is also going to a teacher’s place to learn. Just Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself; He’s accepting a spiritual master, Īśvara Purī. Śrī Caitanya… Śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya… Hmm. Īśvara… Hmm. That means Īśvara Purī became glorified by Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s acceptance of him as spiritual master. ¶
But this is the etiquette, this is the Vedic principle, that even if You are God, if You, even if You know everything, still, You have to accept a teacher, a spiritual master. That is the Vedic system. So what are the rules? ¶
Sandy: No meat, fish or eggs, no gambling, no intoxication, no illicit sex life. ¶
Prabhupāda: Hmm. All right, come on. So, Sāndīpani Dāsī. ¶
Devotees: Hare Kṛṣṇa. ¶
Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. ¶
Devotees: All glories to you Śrīla Prabhupāda. [obeisances] [end] ¶
