As I understand it

As I understand it, by Haripada dasa
If a person buys Srila Prabhupada's books, studies them, likes them and obeys the spiritual instructions in these books, that is, Hare Krishna sings and obeys the 4 regulative principles, that person is connecting with Srila Prabhupada, because the Srila Prabhupada and Srila Prabhupada's books is the same, then if that person is serious and sincere, Krishna will arrange for a disciple of Srila Prabhupada to send him in the name of Srila Prabhupada, so he will connect with the guru parampara, I remember a class of Srila Prabhupada that Madhuvisa asks him, if a person reads the Bible and obeys the instructions, what happens, and Srila Prabhupada replies that at the moment that one obeys the instructions of Jesus, that means that he is accepting Jesus as his guru or teacher, and then Madhuvisa tells him that you have to have a guru lived, and Srila Prabhupada replies that the guru is eternal, on this point, I have always had the intui tion that I have already served Srila Prabhupada in other lives and that it is now a continuity, in CC, ML, 15, 111, Srila Prabhupada says that a properly initiated Vaisnava may be imperfect, but who sings without offense the holy name of the Lord is completely perfect and an initiated person may be contaminated by Mayavadi philosophy, but the person who sings without offenses will not be subject to such contamination, in this meaning Srila Prabhupada twice emphasizes singing without offenses, on the other hand, Srila Prabhupada He instructed his disciples to initiate in his name, to be officiating acharyas or ritviks, in my personal case I thought that if I am fully convinced of this ritvik philosophy, I must pray to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna to send me a disciple of Srila Prabhupada and I started in his name, and Srila Prabhupada and Krishna made all the arrangements and so it happened, because I thought that if someone is convinced of the philosophy a ritvik and not put into practice, people will tell you that this person is a hypocrite. We all understand and accept that a disciple of Srila Prabhupada is one who obeys the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, the result of this will be that he will feel the presence of Srila Prabhupada in his life and will acquire the qualities of Srila Prabhupada, and will always be very happy to associate with serious and sincere disciples of Srila Prabhupada. The other point to discuss is who is an officiating acharya or ritvik, my humble opinion is that the main quality of this person is that he must be very expert in Srila Prabhupada's books to dispel the doubts of others, and he or Dreams will think he is guru, but everyone's friend.
On the other hand, in the lectures that Srila Prabhupada gave in Kartika 1972 in the Sri Radha Damodara of Vrindavana, there Srila Prabhupada spoke about SRIMATI RADHARANI, if we take refuge from the external energy of Krishna, where Krishna's forgetfulness is very prominent, then we move further and further away from Krishna, but if we take refuge in the internal energy of Krishna, Radharani, because She is directly serving Krishna, as well as in Vrindavana, there is always talk of Radharani, because they have taken refuge from Radharani in order to approach to Krishna very easily, daivim prakritim asritah, the ease of Vrindavana, is that if you take shelter of Radharani directly, She will help you get closer to Krishna very soon, that is the idea when you come to Vrindavana. Notice that Srila Prabhupada says to take refuge from Radharani directly, She will help you get closer to Krishna very soon, that is the idea when you come to Vrindavana. This is very deep.
