I have been going to an ISKCON temple, and attending Bhagavad-Gita classes run by ISKCON devotess. I have decided that I want to be a Gaudiya Vaishnava, and that this is the spiritual path that I want to follow.
However, tonight I visited a Gaudiya Math Temple. While it wasn't as big or as opulent as the ISKCON temple, and while their kirtan wasn't as long, I liked it. Apparently Narayana Maharaja is coming to Malaysia in 3 months time or so, and I would like to meet him.
From those on this forum who are either Gaudiya Vaishnavas or know quite a lot about it, what would your advice be? Join ISKCON, who requires 16 rounds a day for initiation, which I don't know if I could do, or go with Gaudiya Math, who are less rigid and set in stone on initiation requirements?
Hare Krishna!
