Guest guest Posted December 26, 2002 Report Share Posted December 26, 2002 Dear Vaisnava's Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is non-diferent from Sri Krsna himself. As such NO BABAJI and or other Sampradaya can refute this fact. AS a tree has many branches so too ISKCON is linked to this TRUNK of Chaitanya Maha-prabhu as one branch. Some times a Branch is cut at some point then after some time it grows another, still linked but just from another section. So similarly as I read from these articles some group is questioning the lineage of the ISKCON parampara particularly the time lapse. A branch from a tree can be planted and will grow its own roots...soon to bear the same fruits as the original tree it came from . If the Fruits taste the same then what is the question ! Where is our tolerance ? Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu did not want wealth, nor woman nor followers yet I observe here that we are trying to debate who is bonafide follower or not. Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu advocated that we should be more tolerant than a tree....if a small dog is barking at an elephant does to elephant faulter. No ! The Elephant just continue's on. Lord Sri Krsna explains that of the millions who endeavour for perfection hardly one knows me in truth. Altough I do not only see ISKCON as the only beholder of perfection I see that we should all understand the Sankirtan Mission and respect each other for our individual efforts. The Gaudiya Math is doing their part, the Babaji's praise their efforts and us Prabhupada-nuga's our own parts. At home sometimes my family would go to visit....my father would stay behind. He did not want to visit ...he was so humble that he did want to trouble his family. Well at least he was protecting the house. We should think like that. Vrndavan Dharm is non-different from Goloka-Vrndavan....so the Babajis' are staying at home and re-purifying the holy dharma so that us westerners can come visit and take Dharsan. After we get Energised we can go back into the West to preach some more. Jivere Swarup Nitya das.....we all have a functional part to play for there Lordships Guara and Nitai. Anyhow our philosopy is acintya beda-beda tatva.....so we should all recognise the diversity yet also know that we are all united in the service of Sri Krsna ie devotees and non-devotees. Ultimately every thing is arranged by Sri Krsna.....there is not a blade of grass that does not move with out his grace.
