A short ISKCON-era lecture discussing how Vaishnavas should respond when someone criticizes or offends spiritual authorities (Prabhupada, Krishna, or the guru). The speaker emphasizes offering respect to those worthy of it, avoiding argument or engagement with disrespectful persons, and following Prabhupada’s guidance to show respect even as a brahmachari while not entering debates with opposing sannyasis.

If someone is critical of Prabhupada, Krishna or the Guru, you cannot defend Krishna and attend Prabhupada Guru or you can not. Someone is worthy of respect and you don't offer any respect. That's what they say, Longya, that's neglect. And a general author is strike to those who are worthy of it. In Prabhupada said, as a Brahmachari, I should offer all respect even to the Vairavati sannyasis, but not to engage in discussion with them. One is not little that they're worthy of respect, then I can just avoid them. And then Mohammed to say and then don't discuss. You know, such a person is a rational authority.
