Bhakti Ratna Sadhu Swami also calls himself Gourangapada and has started his

own movement. He has a new system of diksha based on chanting the names of

Gouranga and Nityananda so many rounds. The persons getting diksha are

allowed to drink tea as Maharaj feels we should be liberal like Mahaprabhu.

 

I have tried to preach to him but it was no use the taste for giving diksha

and being "guru" was too attractive. He initiated around 400 people but soon

became disillusioned with the whole thing. The last I heard we was going to

Puri to do bhajan.

 

I don't think the book needs to be read by anyone as it's author is a very

confused devotee who is suffering do to lack of association with devotees.

 

Srila Prabhupada has said that anyone who thinks he can make advancement

outside the Krishna Consciousness movement is living in a great illusion. I

am sorry to say Nayan Ranjan which was his name before he took Sanyasa in

the Guadiya Math is in great difficulty. Let us pray that he comes back to

the shelter of Srila Prabhuapda's ISKCON.
