city Odessa Srila Bhakti Bibudha Bodhayan Maharaj Achariya-presidentof Sri

Gopinath Gaudiya Math gave interview to news agency «Russian VaishnavasNews»

(RVN). Interviewed by Gourapriya Das (RVN), translated by AnuradhaDasi

(Iinterpreter).- RVN. Sripad Bodhayan Maharaj, please tell the readers of

thisInternet interview about who you are and how you came to Sri Gopinath

GaudiyaMath. Tell us about the establishment of the Math. When was it founded?

Tellabout yourself personally, please.- Srila Bodhayan Maharaj. (Maharaj

laughs) I was born in avaishnava family. My grandfather, Madan Mohan Prabhu was

a disciple ofPrabhupada Bhaktisidhanta Sarasvati Goswami Thakur. By his

inspiration everyonein our whole family are vaishnavas and all are disciples of

our Spiritual Master,His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Promode Puri Goswami Maharaj.

Also by mygrandfather’s inspiration, my whole family has the mentality of

vaishnavas andthus I became a servant of Srimad Mahaprabhu. I am not a

vaishnava yet, I amtrying to be a vaishnava. Officially I took initiation from

Guru Maharaj onJanuary 21, 1986. It was Putrada Ekadasi. Unofficially, I had a

connection withHim (Srila Gurudeva) since my childhood. I took birth in 1964.

So between 1964and 1986, that means, how long? When I was… 21 years old, at

that time, I tookthe first initiation from Him. When I took initiation he had

no establishedMath. He had no buildings. He later gave initiation to my whole

family, in ourhouse (Purba-Ashram). At that time there was no question of

staying in math. Thefamily was inspired to approach Him to keep one place for

vaishnava practices,so after His inevitable departure we could continue to

gather with others.Following repeated requests, He agreed. He gave us

permission to open a centre,a small place in Mayapur, but only for bhajan. It

was 1987 when we purchasedthat small piece of land, and thus our Math was

situated and now stands. Thereis a history behind Sri Gopinath Gaudiya Math

name. Guru Maharaj‘s personaldeities, Radha-Gopinath, ultimate need (prayajana

tattva). For that reason, Hekept this name. He had a personal temple, which was

given by the Bengali king ofthe Burdwan district at Burdwan, Kalna. Previously

the king had named the templeAnanta Vasudev Temple. But when He got the temple,

Gurudeva immediately re-namedit Sri Gopinath Gaudiya Math. After that He saw

there was not enough facilityfor His preaching to follow in the footprints of

His beloved SrilaBhaktissidhanta Sarasvati Goswami Thakur. He left that Temple

and gave theresponsibility to His youngest brother, Nani Gopal Chakravarti. So,

that firsttemple once again became Ananta Vasudev Temple and Gopinath Gaudiya

Math had nohome. Sri Gopinath Gaudiya Math official start came in 1987, when we

purchasedthe Mayapur land. And in 1989 we built one small building there. Guru

Maharajgradually started to spend time there. Actually not gradually, but

frequently Hedid bhajan there. Often people would come to take darshan. Guru

Maharaj wasfeeling that the Deities of Sri Radha-Gopinath should be established

and servedthere. By the desire of Srila Guru Maharaj and the devotees, Sri

Radha-Gopinathappeared on May 7,1990. After the deities appeared Srila Guru

Maharaj made ahabit of remaining with Them there and started to make

arrangements for thefacilities as they presently appear. Also on that same day,

due to certaincircumstances, Guru Maharaj asked me to remain with Him. That’s

when I thoughtof coming into the Math. He told me that an auspicious date was

approaching, May28, 1990, and that should be the day to join Him. I followed

His advice and Ihave been here ever since.- RVN. In a few words, please tell us

about Srila BhaktiPromode Puri Maharaj. Who is He? Whose disciple is He? Tell us

of His merits andaccomplishments. Tell us about His relations with other

vaishnavas. Pleaseintroduce us to your Guru Maharaj.- Srila Bodhayan Maharaj.

Guru Maharaj’s behavior… GuruMaharaj, His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Promode

Puri Goswami Maharaj…Hisbehavior is the absolute example of a vaishnava. Of a

vaishnava’s nature,there are four main qualities. First quality is humility.

His humility wasexcellent. No one can compare with Him. He is an example of

humility. For thatreason other vaishnava were attracted to Him. It would always

be a niceconnection. And then His tolerance… Amongst the vaishnavas

communities,societies, there are so many problems. But He was not one of these

problems; Henever engaged in discord. He was always in His mood, His divine

mood. He felt it…thistolerance. He never criticized any soul, no one at all. I

never heard anycriticism to others. Instead of criticism His nature was to

glorify. He made ahabit of glorifying the devotees. Here, I can give one

example of His nature.Once Madhava Maharaj- Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhava

Maharaj, my Guru Maharaj, andgroup of devotees from Caitanya Gaudiya Math, went

to Jagannath Temple and madebig sankirtan in front of Jagannath. Guru Maharaj

was leading this kirtan: ‘JayaJaya Jagahhatha, Sri Sacinandana. Tribhubana kore

Yanre charana vandan,’– like this. At that time one thief, one pickpocket put

his hand in a smallbag of Gurudeva’s. Actually Guru Maharaj used to take this

bag if someone gavepranami (donation). So, one pickpocket put His hand for

taking that amount ofmoney from Him. But He did not care for all that. One

disciple of MadhavaMaharaj, at that time he was a brahmachari, now his name is

Bhakti Prasad PuriMaharaj, he caught this pickpocket’s hand and saying with

shouting:“Maharaj, pakarlia pakarlia”. It means, “I catch him, catch

thatpickpocket!” Then Maharaj was telling him: “Hey now! Why do you break

mymood? Forget about money, give him the money”. But this mood is not common,

itwill not commonly appear again. This kind of mood was there, then instead

ofthat he was glorifying the thief, instead of threatening him, he was

glorifying.“He needed money, so because of that reason he came here to take the

moneyfrom us. So, what’s the harm?” This was His mood. So, that is why

eachvaishnava, each person had no conflict with Him. We cannot think of all

that.After His departure, when we brought His transcendental body from

Jagannath Purito Mayapur, at that time more than five thousand people came to

see His body.All Acharyas from ISKCON and from different Gaudiya Maths, who

were near aroundMayapur, everybody came to see Him, with groups of their

disciples. It was the22nd of November 1999. There’s small piece of land…

Actually our Math is toosmall. Can you imagine this, in this way can you think?

No one, no one can, noone has any kind of conflictions with Him. Since His

joining, He always keptconnection with so many vaishnavas. I even saw those

whom we are callingsahajiyas babaji. They also used to come, to visit and see

Gurudev. Even LalitaPrasad Thakur, Prabhupada’s brother, his disciples also

like to keep His photoin their temple, still. After His departure they called

me to their temple toarrange a festival. They wanted to make festivals in my

presence. So, I wentthere with a group of devotees and I was there the whole

night and day, the 24hours performing Harinam sankirtan. From 6 o’clock in the

morning until next 6o’clock in the next morning. Harinam Sankirtan, then nagar

sankirtan, then abig feast with speeches about the glories of our Gurudev. But

they are sahajiya!Everyone could see the qualities of Srila Gurudeva. So, you

can imagine this,His divine nature. The nature of a vaishnava is ‘ajata

satraba’. ‘Ajatasatraba’- means who has no enemy. He is absolute free from

enemies. Everybodywas happy to know Him. Absolutely He was an example of that

nature. So, in thisway He was honored by all vaishnava communities.- RVN. What

were His personal relations with Srila SwamiMaharaj, Srila Sridhara Maharaj and

other acharyas, who are popular in the West?- Srila Bodhayan Maharaj. I already

explained that all HisGod-brothers were so dear to Him. By His nature He was

also accepted everywhere,with amicable mood. You know amicable mood? He looked

for the good in them. So,Sridhara Maharaj and Guru Maharaj had such a close

relationship. Actually GuruMaharaj, as he joined the Math, was senior (eearlier

joined the Math) most fromall. Three years senior to Sridhara Maharaj, He was

also three years senior toMadhava Maharaj. And Swami Maharaj… He was ten years

senior to BhaktivedantaSwami Maharaj. But he was not keeping this mood of

senior. This mood: “I amyour senior”. He was always servant of servant of

servant of vaishnavas. Hewas endeared in this way to all His God brothers. They

saw so many meetings withSridhara Maharaj and others. Three days before

Sriddhara Maharaj was going todeparture from the planet, it was like Sriddhara

Maharaj was pulling SrilaGrurdeva from Calcutta. Suddenly they were in the car

from Calcutta via Kalna toMayapur… On the way to the destination there was

Sridhara Maharaj’s Math.Just near Sridhara Maharaj’s Math the tire of the car

had a leak and went flaton the highway. The tire had to be refitted. So, then

Guru Maharaj asked:“This, what is this? This is Sridhara Maharaj’s Math!

Right?” Then adevotee answered, “Yes”. “I should go to see Sridhara Maharaj”.

When theparty arrived Sriddhara Maharaj told Him: “I was thinking about you.

Pleasecome… please stay with me. I have lots of questions I must ask you. I

likeyour association”. After two days of their talks Sridhara Maharaj

expired…heleft his body behind. Before he went, Sridraha Maharaj was telling

Guru Maharaj:“Please, take care of my disciples”. Bon Maharaj also was in the

samesituation with Srila Gurudeva. After Sridhara Maharaj passed His body all

Hisdisciples repeatedly requested Him to do Sridhara Maharaj’s samadhi. He

alsoreally wanted to do it and thus it was done. The samadhi of Sriddhara

Maharajwas made by Gurudeva. I heard one audiocassette of Bhaktivedanta Swami

Maharajand Guru Maharaj’s conversation (because I was personally never

present). Onthat cassette Swami Maharaj was begging pardon: “Maharaj, by my ego

I said somany things against all of my God brothers. Maybe I said something to

offend youalso. So, please, excuse all my offences”. Then Guru Maharaj replied:

“No,Maharaj! You have done a lot of course. Actually by your service all

pratistha,all fame was behind you. But you were not eager to take the name and

fame. Fameis always behind you. Your activities, your preaching activity

brought you inthat fame, but you were not involved in this. So, forget about

this. I am nottaking any kind of offence from you. I pray to God for your

relief”. ThenSwami Maharaj was apologizing: “I know you were a good singer-

kirtaniya,Srila Prabhupada was so happy to hear your kirtan. So, I like to hear

from you.Please, sing one kirtan”. Then Guru Maharaj sang: “Jaya Radhe,

JayaKrishna, Jaya Vrindaban”. Bhakta Caru Maharaj, Guru Maharaj and

SwamiMaharaj, three persons were all there. Later ISKCON made some kind of

complainagainst our Gurudev. Of course, unconsciously it was due to our fault,

not His.A few devotees from ISKCON were initiated by Him. It is not good at

all. We arenot feeling well about that. So, because of this, ISKCON’s new

acharyassometimes use their word against Him. But He was not affected by this,

by theircomments.- RVN. Please say how you interact with other acharyas

whilepreaching. Do you meet with them? Do you hold programs with ISKCON or with

otherMaths anywhere in the world?- Srila Bodhayan Maharaj. I like to communicate

with everybodyin an amicable way. You can see here is Govinda Maharaj. He has

come here toshow the example of our unity. Now of course Govinda Maharaj has no

enemy insociety. But he can really see this one little camp. I like to show this

example.We can stay in one camp in an amicable way. In this way I would like to

keepthis kind of connection with every society. Of course I am so junior. I am

morejunior than all of them. I am much lower than all of them. I want to learn

fromthem. This is true. I am saying this from my heart, not my lips. When

JayapatakaSwami Maharaj of ISKCON was inspired to start Saraswat Gaudiya

VaishnavaAssociation, I took initiative to organize it in a proper way in 1994.

Also whenBhaktialoka Paramadvaity Maharaj from Germany was trying to start Visva

VaisnavaRajsabha, World Vaishnava Association he made me a member of the

organization.Still I am an active member of this organization, but for some

reason we are notreally active, both societies are practically not active. But

from my heart I amtrying to cooperate with everybody, arrange some programs. I

have been achairman of Saraswata Gaudiya Vaisnava Association continuously for

two years.Under my chairmanship there were festivals, which were so glorious:

Vyasa-pujaof Prabhupada Bhaktissidhanta, Vyasa-puja of Bhaktivinode Thakur at

Mayapur. Fortwo years we had done festivals, two festivals every year. Four

festivals thissociety organized. Still I am trying to cooperate with each math,

as we shouldbe united, otherwise we cannot preach against impersonalism,

mayavada. Actuallyour real fighting should be against mayavad. But due to our

ignorance we arefighting amongst each other. I would really like to redirect

that fight toimpersonalism and to destroying mayavadi philosophy. That was the

aim ofPrabhupada Bhaktissidhanta Saraswati Thakur. This fight, against

impersonalismwas the motto and reason to establish Gaudiya Math, the vaishnava

societies, andall this kind of religious culture. It was the motto of our

BhaktissidhantaSaraswati Thakur Prabhupad. So, I would like to carry out His

mood by mycapacity. I cannot do it alone. I would like for all maths to do it

together.But due to the age of Kali it is quite impossible. I have been trying

for fiveyears, but the result is coming very slow. So, I hope Mahaprabhu’s

wishes willnot be inactive. They should be activated very soon.- RVN. Why does

he say that the results are very insignificant?We heard that last year he was

holding a program together with Niranjana Swami,ISKCON leader, in Russia.

During that same year he also held joint programs withRussian speaking leaders

of Bhaktivedanta Math.- Srila Bodhayan Maharaj. Association we are looking is

that weare staying together only for one stage. But practically it is very

difficultbecause we are expanding our societies out of our capacity. Each

society isexpanding out of its capacity. So, all leaders are engaged there to

controltheir societies. They practically have no time to be united. We are

thinking,but not acting in this way. This is the reason…There are lots of

examples andI’ll give you one. There was one fighting amongst sampradayas,

BabajiSampradaya and Gaudia, Srila Prabhupada’s groups (Bhaktissidhanta

Saraswati).Babajies were criticizing us, that we have not any guru parampara,

we have notanything. So, many things. We are spreading message and lots of

innocentdevotees give-up our sampradaya and join them, taking babaji, doing

nonsense,doing madhukari, then keeping some Matajees... and many other nonsense

things.We had a Sankrits school together. The school was on their land,

financially theschool building was made by us. It was their land. On their land

we made thisschool. We liked to show one example of unity. This school was

called SriSyamananda Vidialaya. But because of a certain problem related to our

paramparathere was a long-term conflict between Babajies and Gaudiya Math.

Finally SrilaNarayana Maharaj wrote a book defending our Guru-parampara. By

this book SrilaNarayana Maharaj asserted our parampara. Then the fighting with

babajies started.In the end we, Narayana Maharaj and other Gaudiya Math

devotees founded a newschool together separately from babajies at our

Keshighat. The land for thisschool was purchased by our God brother Sripad

Ramdas Prabhu. This school iscalled Srijiva Sarasvata Sanskrit Vidyalaya.At

that time we called a meeting to discuss this problem. There was no leaderat

this meeting except for the leader of Devananda Gaudiya Math (NarayanaMaharaj)

and the leader of Gopinath Gaudia Math (that was me). There were manydevotees

form various vaishnava schools but they were not leader of

appropriatesocieties. It is impossible to have any discussions about a

foundation of aschool without a leader.- Iinterpreter. Maharaj, I would like to

ask you a personalquestion. There are many Maharajas and they talk about

peaceful mood, aboutamicable mood in communication with other vaishnavas, but

actually vaisnavasfight with each other and a lot of vaishnavas fight with

Srila Narayana Maharajand I do not understand why do they fight with him and

with Srila BhaktisundarGovinda Maharaj. We are told that Narayana Maharaj made

a lot of offence. I donot understand, firstly, why vaishnavas speak about

amicable mood but actuallythey fight with Narayana Maharaj and other Maths.

Tell me if you have time, givesome reply to me.- Srila Bodhayan Maharaj. This

is a nice question. We aretalking about amicable mood but practically we do not

like to have amicablerelations with each other. This is true. That was not the

mood that SrilaBhaktissidhanta Saraswati Prabhupada was establishing. We are

deviating fromthat line, quite far, because before it was a mood for spreading

the message ofSriman Mahaprabhu. Instead of that we are becoming a Guru cult.

Guru cult means,“my guru is highest”. You can see that in all books they are

printing firstclass pictures of Gurudev, but what about Rupa Goswami’s picture!

We areaspiring to be rupanuga bhaktas. However, instead of spreading message

ofMahaprabhu we are too involved in Gurudev’s glories. This is called Guru

Cult.When we are trying to glorify Gurudeva instead of Mahaprabhu. Though it is

truethat Guru is the light of our bhajan, we are deviating our energies away

fromMahaprabhu and onto Mahaprabhu’s devotee. So, in this way there are

differentsocieties and different moods. There is a mood of “my Gurudev”. So,

actuallywe are acting like a Guru cult, but practically we are lacking

attachment forbhajan. You know, we have lack of bhajan? When we preach to our

devotees,regarding our camp, we should not be fanatical. Devotees are in that

fanaticalmood by association. This is fanatism going on. So, we are just

fighting abouthow to make our camp the biggest- this kind of fighting. Because

of this allcamps are fighting each other – it’s camp consciousness, not

Krishnaconsciousness.- Iinterpreter. Even in Russian we have such a notion and

thisnotion is “transcendental fighting”...- Srila Bodhayan Maharaj. No, this is

not transcendentalfighting. You know Srimad Bhagavatam has an explanation.

Gradually religion willbe our occupation. It is going to be that way. Devotees

are saying, “we shoulddefend absolutely, we should give up everything for

Mahaprabhu”. But we arefighting with Mahaprabhu’s devotees. What for? For our

livelihoods, formaintaining our livelihoods. If we think very deeply, it is

like that. We musthave broad mind for thinking, most are not thinking on a

broad scale. Broadscale is that we should fight impersonalism. But instead of

that we are fightingamongst us. “Narayana Maharaj is bad, Govinda Maharaj is

bad, Puri Maharaj is kanishthaadhikari, then ISKCON is sahajiya. Narayana

Maharaj is preaching RagaMarg… This is how they speak. I don’t know if he is

preaching RagaMarg or not. If he is preaching to the Western world this

parakiya ras,this is so glorious prasada for the Western world. You know in the

Western worldyou can see that one woman was three times married. One man was

five timesmarried. They have achieved it. But this kind of association is not

good forMahaprabhu. It was not the motto of Mahaprabhu. Mahaprabhu was

discussing thiskind of mood – parakiya ras - very closely with His intimate

association -Raya Ramananda and Swarup Damodara. Where? In a very small

room-Gombhira. Thisis not discussible with everyone. I know he is so much

senior than me. I respecthim from my heart. Before I was born he joined the

society, before my birth. So,I have no right to fight against him. In my

opinion, as per my knowledge,preaching of Raga Marga? They (new devotees) need

saranagati first. Thenthey need some chanting to cure their hearts. Otherwise

it is not possible torealize the Raga-Marga. They (new devotees) will use it in

a materialway- Radha Krishna’s parakiya taste (rasa), should be always in

theirway. Gradually we become a sahajiya. I hope Narayana Maharaj is not

doingthis mistake. He is a senior vaishnava, how can I claim it against him.

Ihave no right to do this. I personally have no right to do it. Narayana

Maharajis serving the math maybe more than 50 years. My age is not 50 years. My

age isonly 36 years now. How can I claim?- RVN. As far as Govinda Maharaj is

concerned, tell us pleaseabout Govinda Maharaj. He has come here. It had never

happened before. Wepersonally had not witnessed such an occasion that acharyas

take somebodyto accompany them especially if it is a person outside the

organization,completely free from such attachments. What is the reason? Who is

GovindaMaharaj? Why does he travel with you?- Srila Bodhayan Maharaj. Now

Govinda Maharaj does have his ownorganization. He belongs to our original math

– Mul math, Sri ChaitanyaMath. But due to certain circumstances he is not

staying there for a longtime. Maybe more than 20 years. But in mind he is

connected with them. He is adisciple of Bhaktivilas Tirtha Goswami Maharaj. And

actually he has someunderstanding of the western world. So he approached me and

asked, “Maharaj,if you have any chance to take me, you please bring me there

with you”. And Iwas thinking also that this kind of pure vaishnava, if he goes

andbestows his blessings to all the vaisnavas there, they can only bebenefited.

For that purpose, the devotees’ benefit, I brought him here with me.I like his

mood. He is very straightforward and he also took sannyasainitiation from my

Gurudev. In this way I have some connection with him. And ifI face any cultural

problem, by a cultural problem I mean, you know, when I needsome Sanskrit

shloka, he can immediately assist. He has these kinds ofqualities. And I do not

have any confliction with him. I don’t like toconflict with any vaishnavas by my

nature. This is why I bring him.Devotees do not usually agree to bring anybody,

but due to my relationship, I ambringing him. I want to show this kind of

example to the public, that a vaishnavais free from envy. There is not any

enviousness. This kind of (envious) natureis in Bengal. So, I want to destroy

this mood. I follow this example. Anybodycan go with me. Anybody can do as they

wish, but not to break the rules. Godgives us free will, but if we misuse that

free will, then God arrests us by hispoliceman who is illusion personified.

Here I can give one example. A car hasfree will to go here and there, but every

car has a driver. A car will go tomany places with a driver. So, God gives us

free will, but the driver is God. Ifwe break His law, He will give us

punishment. Understand? Like a horse, it has aright to walk, but a horse is

controlled by a driver. When it is uncontrolled itwill be harmful and cause

lots of problems. Understand? So, vaishnavashave free will, but they should use

it properly, for the ultimate benefit ofMahaprabhu’s preaching. If we use this,

then we‘ll be saved, if we do notuse this, then we’ll be a guru cult – fighting

each other. We are alwaysfighting: “I am big, I am bigger than others. They are

wrong, I am right, theyare wrong, I am right”. What is this? This is a nature

of enviousness. Weshould destroy it first. I am telling this, I have also some

problems. In fact Ihave had this kind of mood before. So, I want to destroy

this thought. Everyoneshould destroy it first. Otherwise it is very difficult

to preach. Instead ofpreaching we are doing religious business.- RVN. Maharaj,

there are so many devotees. We would not liketo take up much of the time that

is why I would like to ask the last question.What do you think about preaching

through the Internet? And, probably… yes ofcourse it’s a good tool. But, what

do you think about it?- Srila Bodhayan Maharaj. Mahaprabhu‘s desire

‘PrithibiteAche Yata Nagaradi Grame / Sarvatra Prachar Haibe mor Nam’… “For

asmany villages and towns there are in the world, everywhere My Name will

spreadthere.” This was the desire of Mahaprabhu. The Internet is a proper

channel todistribute everything and everywhere. So, Internet preaching is a

very veryexcellent preaching. I do agree with that. Also devotees are going

here andthere, but we are in human bodies. We have no time to go to each place

todistribute that message. So, the Internet is doing this on behalf of each of

us.I want to pray to Mahaprabhu for His blessing. If it (the Internet) is

moredeveloped scientifically, it is good for our preaching. Not only good.

Materialpersons are spreading their advertisements and selling their goods. If

they doit, we have a right to spread the message of Sriman Mahaprabhu, the

message ofall vaishnavas, the message of Sri Rupa Goswami and the six Goswamis?

Whynot preaching this message of Prabhupada, Bhaktivinoda Thakur, our

Gurudev?These messages are, in our opinion, in favour of vaishnavas. This is

goodfor us. The Internet is a very very excellent link, excellent media,

excellentmedia for us. I appreciate this and if it is possible to develop it

more, I willalso appreciate that. But, you know, science is blessing and

science is curse.When we use it in a favourable way, it will be all blessings

for us. When we useit in a bad way, it will be a curse for us, like television.

People are usingtelevision for making money. How to make people’s mind very

dirty, make somemoney with their dirty mind. Money is dirty, you know.

Association! Birds ofsame feather flock together. They are thinking, “I know

what kind of nature Ihave, I should find others with that kind nature”. You

know it, I should gothere. So, money is dirty. They think, “If I make people’s

mind dirty, thenI can make money”. So, they are spreading that kind of

advertisement, which isvery dirty and spoils our society. If they are using it

this way, we have also aright to preach in this way. We should fight, you know,

side by side (laughs).People will choose. It’s good. Scientifically it will

develop. If it willdevelop more, I can appreciate that.- RVN. Thank you very

much, Maharaj.- Srila Bodhayan Maharaj. Hare Krishna!Especial thanks for
