the above question.

What I believe Sumeet was looking for i evidence from scripture, i.e.

Vedas, Puraanas, Itihaasas, and other adjunctive literatures like the

Pancharaatra or Aagama.

No, I disagree with this sentiment, and I do not approve of

individuals using the Achintya list to admonish those looking for

shaastric pramaana. We aren't blind followers. We want to know the

shaastric basis for our guru's teachings, so that we can develop

stronger faith in his words and be better able to convince others of

their correctness also. Though I don't think this particular question

is particularly controversial, as a general principle this list

welcomes individuals to make such inquiries politely, just as Sumeet

did.

 

> Otherwise, tad viddhi pratipatena...(B.G.4.34) i.e., accept the

quote as infallible because it is conveyed by the Mahabhagavata, the

pure devotee of the Lord.>

 

That is not what BG 4.34 says.

 

"Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master.

Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-

realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen

the truth."

 

Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport to this verse that it

implicitly condemns blind following.

 

There is nothing in the above verse which suggests that one should

accept the guru's teachings as independent authority. Rather, the

verse advises us to seek out a knower of the truth and inquire from

him submissively as well as render service. One should inquire about

the scriptural evidence upon which the guru bases his instruction.

The question is not why anyone would want to know the scriptural

evidence, but why there is anyone who does not want to know. Faith-

acceptance is not a feature of Vaishnava culture, at least, not in

the sense that many people in Judeo-Christian faiths take it.

Dear Sir,

If you actually have a scriptural verse stating the same then kindly

provide me with the verse over here. That way everyone can see it. I

am not looking forward to any dialog or discussion on this topic but

only a scriptural reference to our claim.

 

Thanks Krishna prabhu for bringing out my point more clearly.

Jai Srila Prabhupada!

Dear Prabhus,

Hare Krishna. I had asked this question to

H.H.Hridayananda Maharaja abt 4 years back.Maharaja replied that he was not

aware of any pramanas. By the way, SathyaNarayan Prabhu writes about this in

his commentary to Krishna Sandarbha.Though nothing connected could be deduced

from the Krishna Sandarbha itself. Probably if we can contact him we can get

something.Let me also try.

Dasan

Narasimhan.
