You cannot disobey the previous ācārya or guru

“5000 years or 5 millions of years—what was spoken by the Supreme God or guru—the present guru also will say the same thing. That is bona fide guru.

You cannot disobey the previous ācārya or guru. No. You have to repeat the same thing.”

Śrīla Prabhupada
