The standards

Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude in sending you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return.
The standards, by Haripada dasa
We all understand and accept that the best preaching of Krishna consciousness is the personal example, the words convince, but the example drags. Srila Prabhupada taught us spiritual practices, the result of these practices is that one never forgets God or Krishna and His devotees. Here I share these practices: Here we do not speculate and obey Srila Prabhupada's order to initiate on his behalf, that way we do not deceive ourselves or others and Srila Prabhupada's family expands. Here everyone chant their 16 rounds without offenses from the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, they all follow the 4 regulative principles very strictly, 1, do not eat meat, fish or eggs, 2, no illicit sex, only sex is allowed to procreate and with the wife one, 3, no games of chance, and 4, do not drink tea, coffee, alcohol, drugs, etc., all sing the three daily gayatris, all follow the Ekadasis, the Purusottama month, the Chaturmasya, Kartika Vrata, the apparitions and disappearances of the Supreme Lord and His devotees, all avoid bad association and are always happy and eager to associate with the serious and sincere devotees of Srila Prabhupada, they always wear the tilaka marks on their body, they always have Srila Prabhupada in the center of their lives and help people to put Srila Prabhupada at the center of their lives and every day they read Srila Prabhupada's books in the morning and evening, they only eat Krishna prasada, food offered to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Ga uranga Mahaprabhu and Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Here everyone obeys the instructions given by Srila Prabhupada in his books on how we should use our hard earned wealth, Srila Prabhupada gives the example of Srila Rupa Goswami, when he withdrew from service to the Muslim government and surrendered himself at the lotus feet of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu divided his wealth into three parts. 1-50 percent gave it to the Brahmanas and Vaisnavas, 25 percent to their relatives and the other 25 percent to personal emergencies, by practicing this a transcendental atmosphere is created and selfishness is destroyed. Here nobody speculates, we understand and accept that a person is speculating, when he does things in a capricious way without leaning on Guru, Sadhu and Sastra.
It is very good that there are devotees who follow in a serious and sincere manner the standards that Srila Prabhupada gave us, so that future generations of devotees will not be able to speculate. What is your opinion of all this?
