Dhama Aparadhas

It is an offense to the holy dhäma to:
1. disrespect one's spiritual master who reveals the dhäma,
2. think that the holy dhäma is temporary,
3. commit violence toward any resident of the dhäma or any pilgrim or to think that they are ordinary people,
4. engage in mundane activities while living in the holy dhäma,
5. earn money by commercializing Deity worship and sankirtana in the holy dhäma,
6. think the holy dhama belongs to some mundane country or province, that the Lord's
dhäma is equal to a holy place connected with a demigod, or to attempt to measure the
area of the holy dhäma,
7. commit sinful acts while residing in the holy dhäma,
8. consider Vrndavana different from Navadvipa,
9. blaspheme the sastras that glorify the holy dhama, and
10. be faithless and think the glories of the dhama are imaginary.
