This does seem to be conjecture on your part Bhakta Rupa prabhu. I

understood that BSST began his preaching mission a couple of years before

1919. And don't forget that BSST was staying in Bhaktivinoda Thakur's house

in Vrindavan way before then, so some kind of incident like this could have

happened during the presence of Bipin Bihari.

 

Of course, we can't really comment on the veracity of BR Sridhara's

statements, but at least he was a direct disciple of BSST and in a better

position to know about his relationship with Bipin Bihari Goswami than we

are.
