Guest guest Posted July 5, 1999 Report Share Posted July 5, 1999 BY GIRIDHARI — For the first time in history Srila Narayan Maharaj visited Germany in the third week of June 1999. With the help of local Srila Swami Maharaj disciples, who have accepted His Divine Grace as siksa-guru, Srila Narayan Maharaj was able to speak hari-katha in Neckar-Gemund (a town near Heidelberg, in South-West Germany) and Berlin. In his arrival lecture in Berlin Srila Narayan Maharaj mentioned that he always wanted to visit Berlin, as it was there where Hitler started his destructive campaign. Only taking the external knowledge of the Vedas, such as the Vedic science on warfare, will inevitably lead to destruction. The inner purport of the Vedic scriptures is love and affection. So, Srila Narayan Maharaj has come to Berlin with that purpose - to initiate Caitanya Mahaprabhu's campaign of love and affection. Just as the Berlin Wall was destroyed, His Divine Grace wishes to destroy the institutional walls in the Vaishnava world. He compared the sectarian mentality of not hearing from sadhus outside of ones institution to the mentality of a son, who inherited a well from his father. Though the water of the well has become polluted and infected in the course of time, that person refuses to take the pure water of the nearby flowing Ganga. ------ This is an information resource and discussion group for people interested in the World's Ancient Vedic Culture, with a focus on its historical, archeological and scientific aspects.
