Lalita Didi

[Guest guest]

A recent BTG article about Srila Gaura Kisora Dasa Babaji mentioned his

"close friend" Lalita Didi. As this is a female name, it gives the

impression that Babaji Maharaja had female friends; although actually it

refers to a male sahajiya who used to dress and act as a woman. Understood

either way, it projects Babaji Maharaja as keeping improper association.

 

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati explained that certain persons used to think

themselves close to Babaji Maharaja but that he never cared for them. It is

better to accept our acaryas' conclusions rather than those of others

outside our line, such as Sri Haridasa Dasa (from who the quote about Lalita

Didi was taken), who although a recognized scholar had marked differences

with those in the line of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati.
