4 Regulative principles

Posted by Jimmy Goda on February 26, 2016 at 10:45am in Krishna

Hare Krishna Devotees,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

I am preaching to western person about Krishna Consciousness. He wants to know more about Shastric evidence of 4 regulative principles as in quotes from Shastras. I am not very familiar with Shastras and citing verses to support regulative principles.

 

Can someone please help me and provide me shastric evidence as well as some explanation on them for following 4 regulative principles.

 

your aspiring servant.

jimmy.

    Actually there is 5 principles based on Srimad Bhagavatam :

    .

    SB 1.17.38 — Sūta Gosvāmī said: Mahārāja Parīkṣit, thus being petitioned by the personality of Kali, gave him permission to reside in places where gambling, drinking, prostitution and animal slaughter were performed.
    .
    SB 1.17.39 — The personality of Kali asked for something more, and because of his begging, the King gave him permission to live where there is gold (  or money ), because wherever there is gold ( or money ), there is also falsity, intoxication, lust, envy and enmity.
    .
    SB 1.17.40 — Thus the personality of Kali, by the directions of Mahārāja Parīkṣit, the son of Uttarā, was allowed to live in those five places.
    .
    SB 1.17.41 — Therefore, whoever desires progressive well-being, especially kings, religionists, public leaders, brāhmaṇas and sannyāsīs, should never come in contact with the five above-mentioned irreligious principles.
