Srila B.R. Sridhara Maharaja speaks about the sampradaya or the guru parampara system as the genuine path for the absolute truth to descend. To clarify, he narrates the incident when Gandhi had to institute an association for the distribution of real khadi cloth made by the poor, to beat unfair competition from foreign manufacturers.
He also speaks about the authenticity of Krishna prasad, compared to any other unauthorized prasad, and while referring to the consent offered in the shastra for meat, intoxication, etc Srila Sridhar Maharaja says that they are to be understood as only temporary concessions to effect a gradual progress of the afflicted human beings towards the absolute bhagavat dharma.
