Thank you for your clarification Rasananda Prabhu. It was well-presented.

 

There is a chance that Thakura Bhaktivinoda referred to Garga-Samhita as a

preaching tactic (like Prabhupada used the Chanakya Niti Sutra) and anyone is

free to think so. But I would tend to think that there is a big chance he did

not use it as a preaching tactic and accepted it as a genuine book especially

because he was discussing heavy philosophical issues in his deeply

philosophical treatise, Amnaya Sutra which was meant for preaching & convincing

to the jnanis who accept arguments based on only authorized scriptures.

 

Anyway ultimately I agree that this may not be a conclusive evidence for all to

accept. I may not like to go into furthur discussion in this matter.

 

Your servant,
