[PADA: Having great discussions with former Narayan Maharaja person, he is really getting it. He distributes books as his livelihood and now he only wants to distribute original Srila Prabhupada materials. Good progress. Here is another person's realizations ...]
NMD: I just going to leave this here for now....
That way it will save me time to clear up pretenders in my circle who try to fake it till they make it. Since it seems like the goal of spiritual is initiation and not the actual activity of performing the Yuga Dharma Harinam Sankirtan!
This main reason why many initiated devotees do not perform the Yuga Dharma Harinam Sankirtan and book distribution and Krsna prasadam distribution, is because they are blocking their bhakti with false personalities of makeshift gurus for name, fame so they can act lame.
Only thing most initiates are good for nowadays is decorate the temple for a kirtan party then dress fancy, attend festivals, fill belly, sing instead of chant and dance like hippy to display false bhakti in the name of being a devotee in Krsna Consciousness amongst other bewildered members.
Those initiates do not organize and perform Harinam Sankirtan and book distribution and Krsna prasadam distribution programs, they wait for December Marathon to get book score so they can win prize and be idealized in front of the congregation of devotees. Or they wait for specific instructions to perform the Yuga Dharma Harinam Sankirtan and book distribution and Krsna prasadam in public mostly at month end when the public get paid so they can rake up the cash for temple building and bigger and better parties.
This is all due to the lack of understanding of accepting a bona fide spiritual master. Remember when Srila Prabhupada said he will name some of his disciples to give initiation on His behalf, (no most don't because they don't even read Srila Prabhupadas books what to speak of remembering important points like this).
So, in fact, above all the rules and regulations and offenses I have mentioned, the most important thing, the essential thing, which is required, if you want to come to the stage of purely chanting the Hare Krsna mantra, is, you MUST have a bonafide spiritual master, who is a pure devotee of Krsna. Without having a bonafide spiritual master you can chant Hare Krsna forever, but will not be able to advance, because Krsna does not reveal Himself in this way.

As a service to Srila Prabhupada and for sincere bhakta's seeking the truth.
(If those don't like what is said, please feel free to unfriend, block me, jump off a bridge I don't care.. Lol.)

Eventually when He did appoint the 11 (they disobeyed their spiritual master which is an offense against the Holy name) so they turned the instruction around and made their own disciples. Then rest of the orange gang got angry cos they also wanted the name and fame and wealth etc... So they created the bogus Zonal Acharya system.
That did not work well for too long cos sincere devotees started asking questions about where Zonal Acharya system is in Shastra. So they scrapped that idea and created the Guru Voting System. This Voting system is not found in Shastra as well, but the gullible want Krsna at cheap price so they all accept this method of initiation and then wonder why they practicing spiritual life is difficult after being brainwashed into thinking that the process followed is the absolute truth.
The above is meant to highlight facts of why there is a lack of the performance of the Yuga Dharma Harinam Sankirtan and book distribution and Krsna prasadam. Mercy flows down from parampara and will stop if there is an obstacle blocking the mercy.
---below are some well selected points from Srila Prabhupada in regards to this:
Satsvarūpa: "Then our next question concerns initiations in the future, particularly at that time when you're no longer with us. We want to know how first and second initiation would be conducted."
Prabhupāda: "Yes. I shall recommend some of you. After this is settled up, I shall recommend some of you to act as officiating ācāryas."
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "Is that called ṛtvik-ācārya?"
Prabhupāda: "Ṛtvik, yes."
[Conversation May 28,1977, Vrndavan]
"Now that Srila Prabhupada has named these [ritvik] representatives, Temple Presidents may HENCEFORWARD send recommendation for first and second initiation to whichever of these eleven representatives are nearest their temple." [Excerpt from Letter, July 9th, 1977]
"Unless one is initiated by a bona fide spiritual master, all his devotional activities are useless. A person who is not properly initiated can descend again into the animal species." [Madhya 15-108]
"Therefore, having a bonafide spiritual master and serving him, and pleasing him, and getting his mercy is essential. Otherwise there can be NO advancement in Krsna consciousness. And unless the spiritual master is a pure devotee of Krsna, then he has no potency to give Krsna. He is simply a cheating rascal!

He ONLY reveals Himself to those devotees who surrender to, and serve, and please His pure devotee!" [letter to his London disciples, July 1969]
