Fundamental Practices… to be a Gauòéya Vaiñëava

Chanting-

Those, who want to join proper Gauòéya Vaiñëava Lineage, they should try to chant  16/32/64 Rounds of Hare Kåñëa Mahämantra-

Four Regulative Principles-

Before Dékçä (Initiation), one must follow 4 Regulative Principles-

1. No use of intoxicants (tea, coffee, anything which contains caffeine, tobacco, alcohol etc.)
2. No meat eating, fish or eggs
3. No gambling
4. No illicit sex

Harinäma is NOT Dékçä-

In all 4 Bonafide Sampradäyas, Harinäma is not Dékçä. Real Dékçä is Mantra Dékçä. When we are surrendered to the Spiritual Master… the Spiritual Master decides when a devotee will get Mantra Dékçä.

Harinäma is NOT Dékçä
