Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati's Sannyasi

Initiation

 

>> Lord Chaitanya took sannyaasi initiation form

Keshava-Bhaarati, a maayaavaadi sannyaasi. If it is

wrong to take sannyaasi initation before the picture

of a Vaishnava guru, why is it not even more wrong

to take sannyaasi initiation before the physical

presence of an offender to Lord Krishna? <<

 

Just a side-comment.

 

We must be very careful before making statements such

as above, as we may unwittingly be victim to the facts

that the unknown is itself 'unknown' to us at any

time.

 

It is interesting to note that the "mayavadadi

sannyasi" who gave sannyasa initiation to Lord

Chaitanya was none other than the reincarnation of

Sandipani Muni. This is noted in the famous

Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika.

 

*Why* Sandipani Muni chose to take birth as a

"mayavadi" to participate in Gaura-lila would be an

interesting question to pose that would surely open

the floodgates for more Krishna-katha.

 

In service of Gaura-Nitai,

 

Jay
