Allegations Made Against H.H. Narayana Maharaja

[Guest guest]

Dear Vijaya Pay Prabhu,

please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all other Vaisnavas!

All glories to Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai and Sri Sri Radha-Govinda!

 

Just a remark to the following passage:

 

> First, I've heard this comment before, but have never seen it backed up.

> How about providing the Sanskrit text for Srila Baladeva's Isopanisad

> commentary? Note that it is _not_ sufficient to show his comments on the

> "oM pUrNam" verse, since that verse also appears in a different context in

> another Upanishad (bRhadAranyaka). In fact, when it appears in the

> bRhadAranyaka, Srila Prabhupada himself takes the verse as referring to

> the avatAras of the Lord (see CC Adi, 7th or 8th chapter). This proves

> that the verse (and its explanation) needs to be seen in its full context.

 

The verse "om purnam ..." is not really a regular verse of one or

another Upanisad, as common verses are. It is a santi-mantra, which is

chanted at the beginning and at the end of each Upanisad belonging to Sukla

Yajur Veda (e.g. Isa Upanisad belongs to Sukla Yajur Veda). Therefore the

meaning of verse "om purnam ..." MUST be the SAME everywhere. The context of

another Upanisad (as You write here about Brhad-Aranyaka Upanisad) is, in

this regard, the same. This verse has the same meaning both in Isa and in

Brhad-Aranyaka Upanisad.

 

Your most unworthy servant,

Sergei.

Hare Krsna.
