This point is very clear and proved by the solid evidences, i am impressed.

If there are any false teachings emanated from Narayan Maharaj, they should

be pointed out and serious philosophical debate should take place to clear

out doubts which rose up in the minds of many devotees.

This we have no way to check, only by studying 11 anubhavas we can examine

advance devotee.

Is any solid proof that Narayan Maharaj claimed himself to be/act as Krsna

and engaged in any kind of illicied activities?

I can hardly believe. If Narayan Maharaj belittles Srila Prabhupada, how

good standing Prabhupada disciples would peacefully hear such things?

It can be risky.

Srila Prabhupada

It can be but if Narayan Maharaj will not correct his zealous followers he

will allow romors to be spread what will hamper him too, and in near future

his zealous followers can claim him(NM) to be saktyavesa avatar, or Krsna

himself, as it was in SP case in 1970.

This is questionable counterargument.

 

I put again my question - is it true that Narayan Maharaj claim to have

right to deceive his followers, because one has to be deceiver like Krsna to

enter Vrndaban? This was in Ravindra Svarupa's paper and was not

counterargued.
