namacarya

[Guest guest]

Srila Prabhupada often stated that Thakura Haridasa was elevated to the post

of namacarya by Lord Caitanya (see for instance Bg 6.44 ppt.)

 

Was Lord Caitanya's thus elevating him a formal undertaking, and if so where

and when did it take place?

 

Does the term namacarya appear in any of the old biographies of Lord

Caitanya? If not, when and by who was the term first used?

Dandavat pranam

 

I heard one lecture from Atma tattva prabhu... i think it is still on the

internet...unfortunately I forgot which one was that...he mentioned in the

answer to one question, one South Indian satra (I forgot which one) where there

are divisions about: purohita, sadhu, mantra guru, acarya and the

samstapak-acarya.

 

Under the acarya division he said that there are many acaryas and many types of

acaryas as well. Kirtan-acarya, bhasya-acarya, nama-acarya, rasa-acarya,

yuga-acarya, vedanta-acarya etc.

At the end he spoke about the special position of the samstapak-acarya or

founder acarya. just to mention few points: he is predicted both in the sastra

and by the previous acaryas, fulfills the dreams of the previous acaryas, gives

the conclusions of the previous acaryas although establishing a new movement

(like e.g. Srila Prabhupada)...
