Hare Krishna dear Gurudev!

Pamho

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope u are good in everything.

Q:

Does exist any specific prescription in the scriptures, any directive from our acaryas, any instruction from Srila Prabhupada or at least any GBC resolution about that a Vaisnava cannot chant the Holy Names in another temple or vaishnava line outside his own? 

I ask this because I have always seen, and have participated in many Kirtan events in various Yoga centers and all kinds of spaces, freely as Srila Prabhupada wished, trying to bring the holy name to more people.

But it happens that when I have been invited to chant HK in spaces of other Vaisnava lines, that has generated a "disturbance" in the minds of few people in the local temple.

Then they try to generate an idea in the community that it is "forbidden" to chant the holy name in other Vaisnava spaces.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Please let me know if there is any philosophical, sastrical or at least administrative basis that supports this type of thinking.

I appreciate your time and guidance.

Your servant,

Ananda Shyam das

P.S: now we opened a small yoga room where also Bhakti and Kirtan is shared. We humbly hope this satisfy S. Prabhupada and Krishna. :)

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. Nice to hear from you after so long!

Here is one citation:

and we remember SP saying that LC would visit temples of different demigods and show the people how to worship them properly by His actions, and that we as His disciples should do the same.
