Srila Prabhupada on his Godbrothers

Although my godbrothers knew that Prabhupada liked me very much, because I am grhastha, I was known as paca-grhastha. Paca-grhastha mens a rotten grhastha… 760119rc.may Conversations Bhavananda: People are attracted by the Westerners coming to the matha. So if we’re up at that matha, any of us, and then they say, “Just see.” They say in Bengali, “Just see. They are coming. To see our guru maharaja, they are coming.” Prabhupada: THAT WAS ...Read More

The Bottom Line–Narayana Maharaja is a Sahajiya

Satyam, truthfulness, means that facts should be presented as they are for the benefit of others. Facts should not be misrepresented. According to social conventions, it is said that one can speak the truth only when it is palatable to others. But that is not truthfulness. The truth should be spoken in a straight and forward way, so that others will understand actually what the facts are. If a man is SB 2.3.24 THE BHAVA STAGE IS MANIFESTED BY EIGHT ...Read More

Srila Prabhupada Speaks about his Gaudiya Math Godbrothers

I can understand someone getting a little bewildered about our relationship with Srila Prabhupada’s godbrothers before his letters and conversations were published, but what excuse does anyone have now? Any of Srila Prabhupada’s so-called disciples who still insist on associating with Srila Prabhupada’s godbrothers or godnephews after reading the quotes below are obviously not very sincere or very serious about following Srila Prabhupada’s instructions. Dear Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Please keep in mind, while ...Read More

The Souls Origin

So the conclusion is that whatever may be our past, let us come to Krsna consciousness and immediately join Krsna. Just like with a diseased man, it is a waste of time to try to find out how he has become diseased, better to spend time curing the disease. 91-05-14 Letter to: Unknown Unknown Place Unknown Date Crow And Tal-Fruit Logic We never had any occasion when we were separated from Krsna. Just like one man is dreaming and he ...Read More

Prabhupada’s Godbrothers AVOID THEM! [Gaudiya Matha]

My Godbrothers have no life for preaching work. All are satisfied with a place for residence in the name of a temple, they engage disciples to get foodstuff by transcendental devices and eat and sleep. They have no idea or brain how to broacast the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Tirupati 28 April, 1974 Washington D.C. My dear Rupanuga Maharaja, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of April 17, from Washington D.C. and I have ...Read More

Eternal Guiding Light

An offering to the representative of Srila Vyasadeva — His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. So many that I meet declare “There is another way Don’t remain a neophyte Come hear what others say” They speak as though you’ve left us as though we’re all alone as though you’re words are relative as if you’re dead and gone And so they keep pretending they know more than they do ...Read More

The Difference Between Useless Disciples and Useful Disciples

Some of the disciples strictly accepted the orders of the acarya, and others deviated, independently concocting their own opinions under the spell of daivi-maya. This verse by Krishnadasa Kaviraja Goswami [in his Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Adi Lila 12.10] describes the beginning of a schism. When disciples do not stick to the principle of accepting the order of their spiritual master, immediately there are two opinions. Any opinion different from the opinion of The order of the spiritual master is the active principle ...Read More

Srila Prabhupada and Narayana Maharaja Brothers?

Thankyou for sending me your propaganda that Srila Prabhupada and Narayana Maharaj are looked upon by yourself as "like god brothers". Unfortunately you cannot see the ‘wood for the trees’.Srila Prabhupada’s position is not only far superior to Narayana Maharaj’s position, but he is the radiant moonshine that is pervading the entire three worlds compared to Narayana Maharaj who is just a star and a shadow in the path of Srila Prabhupada and his ISKCON mission! Dear Prabhus, ...Read More

Gopimania!

Hansadutta Prabhu wrote the following paper, Gopimaini in response to reports of an attempt by Narayan Maharaja to win over ISKCON in 1993. Almost immediately after this paper was published, Tamal Krishna Gosvami and Giriraj Swami were hauled before the GBC and ordered to have nothing further to do with Narayan Maharaja. Those two backed off, but in the meantime, Narayan continued to attract disenchanted ISKCON devotees. Since that time, however, Narayan has advanced his ambitions to take over ...Read More

Higher Rasa

There are some devotees who say we should pursue a spiritual goal such as to become a gopi, or a gopa, etc., in our next life, etc. I have just heard a statement to that effect recently. Some devotees have been quoted to say that Srila Prabhupada gave the basics and the higher process is to pursue some type of rasa that one is attracted to. Hopefully we can shed light Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti and Srila Sanatana Gosvami both explain in ...Read More

The Preaching Spirit and the Institution

Srila Prabhupada did not want to create another society of love friendship and socializing… A free hotel, a society of mutual admiration, a society of beaurocrats. Social parasites in the name of God and the Hindu religion. The world hates these religious institutions which have exploited them in the name of Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, and now Krishna, Chaitanya and Srila Prabhupada. Dear Das, Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I was surprised to read how many ...Read More

The Need to Interpret Srila Prabhupada’s books?

I would like to make a comment on the article by Jadurani Dasi on VNN. The main point of her article is that we need Narayan Maharaj to interpret Srila Prabhupada’s books for us… “Prabhupada is certainly present in his books. No one will deny that. But it is by the association and guidance of pure devotees that we neophytes can get access to the deep meanings of those books. The great depths of Prabhupada’s books are like a treasure ...Read More

Narayana Maharaja and ISKCON

ISKCON authorities fail to realize is that they will never be able to stop the flow of ISKCON devotees into Narayan Maharaj’s camp because they are not offering something better. Our devotees have lost faith in the GBC and present guru system because so many of these so-called ‘gurus’ have proven themselves unworthy of the title. Dear Assembled Devotees: Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Lately different temple communities have been expressing their feelings about Srila Narayan ...Read More

Narayana Maharaja’s Final Order

In a recently translated conversation Narayana Maharaja’s followers claim Srila Prabhupada personally ordered Narayana Maharaja to give spiritual guidance to his disciples and followers, and that he wants his disciples and followers to accept that guidance. We will show, Srila Prabhupada does not say anything of the kind, and far from the conversation being any sort of Final Order from Srila Prabhupada, it is actually only a FALSE Order from the Recently the English translation of an undated Bengali conversation ...Read More
