Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hare Krsna,prabhuji. To have personal opinion and express it publicly on nice whay is one thing and to argue with senior vaisnavas wich are on level of Gurus and eaven worse , to find faulths in different vaisnavas and expose them publicly,is compleatly another issue. First is perfectly OK,to have personal opinion,but for that is also qwestionable how far will brought one sadhaka on spiritual path.We need to take shelter in words of senior vaisnavas like HH Srila Jayadveita Maharaja is,if we want to progress.What can we untherstund from books of great vaisnavas,like Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur is,without check and balance from senior Srila Prabhupada desciples,like Srila Jayadveita Maharaja and other senior Prabhupada desciples ? Previous acharyas said and wrote many things according time place and sercomstances and without help of senior vaisnavas,we may easely missuntherstund and mix up points given by them . For example Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura wrote many things about vaisnava eticket and pointed out that not folowing vaisnava eticket brings doom and destruction of spiritual life. For example,that instruction of Him have much greater importance then some other things wich He wrote in His books,in order to establish bhakti culture again in that social frame in that time and to bring recognition of scholars of that time . But second thing,to expose publicly different faulths of other vaisnavas,eaven if they were realy commited by them and to critisise them,call them insane or whatever in that direction,aspetialy if that vaisnavas were senior to us,what to speak of devotees who did so much for the whole world, like Harikesha Prabhu did,in the name of expressing freely personal opinion,pardon me,but according to shastras and previous Acaryas like Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura who you quoted,that act is great offence wich have potency to destroy everything in ones spiritual life and it s sin to eaven listen or read such texts,without saying anything oposite . If you have any doubhts reagarding that,please check it out with your respective Guru or some senior vaisnava and listen His answer. In teachings of Lord Chaitanya it is clearly explained that one of 2 types of persons wich will not get Krsna prema is those who find faulths in other vaisnavas and critisise them .So better think about this,before speak or write such words publicly.
