That Vaiyasaki Prabhu sings Mira bhajanas does not mean that they are

approved by our Gaudiya acaryas, none of who sung Mira bhajans.

I thought that Vaiyasaki Prabhu is highly regarded within ISKCON and

his recordings are available in the temple shops and advertised in

BTG. Now I am not saying 2+2=1, however, my point was simply that,

there should be an body who can research the bhajans and advise on

suitability or otherwise. I have just yesterday heard some bhajans at

the Ramnavami festival at Bhaktivedanta Manor, UK which would

definitely not have been gaudiya approved - one of the which was

the "jaya jaya radha madhava haribol....".

Last year I bought the book "Further Songs of Vaisnava Acaryas"

wherein it is stated that Mirabai's songs are presented in Bengali,

instead of their Vrajbhasa dialect, since they were long ago

translated by Gaudiya Acaryas! -- Again my point is simply that

there should be someone who can advise on the suitability or

otherwise. This information should be made available to all temple

presidents so that unsuitable bhajans are not sung. Maybe this book

was published to satisfy the beginners and maybe bring some laxmi

into the temples - but then that technique is questionable?
