His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami is the preeminent Gaudiya Vaisnava Acharya cum Vedic Scholar in the modern world. He has presented numerous translations of core Vedic texts, such as Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita into the English Language. His conversations detail the ills of our modern world, and offer up realistic and powerful solutions to the plight facing modern humanity.
"Now, if somebody is teacher... Now, he is very good teacher. He can very good... He can explain very nicely a subject matter, but his private life is not very good. Then he is not a teacher. He is not a sadhu. That is Vedic conception. One must be a teacher according to his own behavior in life. There is no secrecy or privacy. Now, we think that "We don't mind what is private character. We don't mind. We are concerned with his teaching." No. That sort of teaching will not have any effect. Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, apani acari prabhu jiveri siksaya: a teacher must demonstrate in his practical life what he is teaching. That is the meaning of acarya. Acarya means the teacher must demonstrate things by applying the same thing in his own life. That is called acarya."-Bhaktivedanta Swami
"In his Manu Samhita, this exalted demigod clearly warns against the mixing of commerce with any type of spiritual advice, as clearly stated in this particular admonition:
"Neither by (explaining) prodigies and omens, nor by skill in astrology and palmistry, nor by giving advice and by the exposition (of the Sastras) let him ever seek to obtain alms." – Manu Samhita Chapter 6. Text 50.
Lord Manu basically warns that there absolutely cannot be any FORCED exchange of funds for things that are spiritual by nature because as soon as that gets introduced, the whole event becomes about pandering to the audience for increasing cash flow and NOT the transmission of true unadulterated spiritual guidance." -MAYESVARA DASA (ACBSP)
