Hare Krishna!

 

I have a very hard time accepting this as the evidence of our fall down from

Radha Krsna lila because it would lead to many other problems. Have Srila

Prabhupada ever said that his clear statement that a pure devotee cannot

forget Krsna even for a moment is also not absolute? We could understand

that "generally it does not happen, but possibility is there" means that

there can only be a very few exceptions, like Jaya and Vijaya, which are due

to a specific lila of the Lord. In other words, it cannot be applied to the

countless jivas in the material world.

 

If "yad gatva na nivartante" is not true then what is the value of the BG at

all? Therefore I prefer to stick to what is written in Srila Prabhupada's

books.
