Dear Nayana Ranjana Prabhu,

 

PAMHO. AGTSP.

 

I am sorry for my misunderstanding your comments Prabhuji. I apologise. Thanks

for clarifying.

 

However I did quickly go through your comments in detail before commenting,

but some how I could not comprehend correctly what you were saying (which I

realise now after your clarification).

 

Maybe the way you phrased your sentences, I could not get things correctly, or

I was covered with some unwanted things at that time when I read your comment.

 

 

Please accept my apology and forgive me. Please pray for me.

 

Your humble servant,

Bhadra Govinda Das.

Dear Bhadra Govinda Prabhu,

 

Kindly read the following quote by Rupa Goswami so that you can understand

the potency of the Holy Name above and beyond all other considerations. Try

to understand that since the Holy Name is Krishna Himself, the Holy Name can

NEVER be dependent on anything or anyone and is ALWAYS svarat, independent,

as is Sri Krishna.

 

 

Padyavali (29) by Rupa Goswami, quoted in Caitanya-caritamrta Madhya 15.110

 

The Holy Name of Lord Krishna is an attractive feature for many saintly,

liberal people. It is the annihilator of all sinful reactions and is so

powerful that save for the dumb who cannot chant, it is readily available to

everyone, including the lowest type of man, the candala. The Holy Name of

Krishna is the controller of the opulence of liberation, and it is identical

with Krishna. Simply by touching the Holy Name with one’s tongue, immediate

effects are produced. Chanting the Holy Name does not depend on initiation,

pious activities or the purascarya regulative principles generally observed

before initiation. The Holy Name does not wait for all these activities. It

is self-sufficient.

Dear Vaisnavas,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

The reason this question concerning shiksha surfaced, was out of concern

for the many innocent people out in this world who do not know anything

about Krsna or His pure devotees. We recently did a Prasadam/Book table

in a really small town, Eden, NC, where most of the towns people had

never heard of Krsna.

 

I have all faith and confidence in the lotus feet of our ISKCON

initiating spiritual masters. I trust in their complete ability to

deliver their disciples Back to Godhead as bona fide spiritual masters.

 

I'd like to share what happended at the Fair. One man came to our table

and bought some of Ananga Manjari's cinnamon rolls. He picked up a

"Perfection of Yoga", but said, "This is Hare Krsna." and put it back

down. I responded-- "This book gives life and hope to intelligent

persons who want to know the answers to the problems of life-- what

happens at death.....where we will go. This book will help you to come to

the highest perfection of life."

 

He picked the book up again saying, "This is interesting to me. I work in

the medical field and I spend my life trying to keep people in their

bodies, and you Hare Krsna's are helping people to get out of this world,

out of their bodies." I'm going to read more about this." He bought the

book.

 

But I was wondering how far he would take Srila Prabhupada's mercy, if he

would start chanting Hare Krsna. What happens to these sincere persons

who receive Srila Prabhupada's siksha?

 

We have the rare and amazing good fortune to be blessed to have the

association of pure devotees. Most of the other people in this world are

waiting for Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda's mercy.

 

Hence this question came up. Thank you for your very complete sastric

references.

 

I hope you are all in great health.

 

your servant,

Sucharya Mataji
