Swami B. V. Tripurari Live Q & A; March 12, 2023: Turning to Our Guardians with Our Mundane Problems

Questions on today’s Swami call:

Is it okay to pray to Sri Krishna and the higher Vaisnavas for help when we are in bad physical health or feel down emotionally?

There is an idea that since the guru-disciple relationship is eternal, if the guru rejects the disciple, the guru cannot be bona fide. Can you comment on this?

When did misogyny become prevalent in ISKCON? Did it originate with Srila Prabhupada? I have heard that he said things like “women are less intelligent” but also that he was very respectful to his female disciples.

Is it better to try to think of the form of Sri Krishna or to simply call out to him through harinama and trust that he will reveal himself in time, as the mind can anyway not touch Krishna directly as only the soul can?

Why do some disciples and grand-disciples of Srila Prabhupada believe that Srila Prabhupada is serving in madhurya-rasa?
