Couple of posts earlier, I wrote about guru, sadhu and shastra as the springboard to understand Ashokshaja - the One who is inconceivable. This system of guru, sadhu and shastra is not institutionalized or monopoly of one religion or sect. For example, ISKCON follows guru, sadhu and shastra and it seems like guru, sadhu and shastra is part of an institution called ISKCON but ISKCON was setup to spread the word of Krishna and create opportunities for devotees to come together to interact with Krishna but certainly it was not set up to monopolize or institutionalize the concept of guru, sadhu and shastra.
Any person who is sincerely seeking the truth, must accept the authority of guru, sadhu and shastra regardless of institutional set up and proceed in the selfless service of Adhokshaja. The Lord is impartial and equal to all beings and no one claim ownership or special favor save and except beings who love Him for because when we express selfless love towards Adhokshaja (another name for Krishna), then He reciprocates in-kind!
Hare Krishna
