16 Beneficial Activities for the Whole World

>We accept only the bonafide translation of Srila Prabhupada.

 

The verse literally says Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya performed japa of Sri

Chaitanya's name. But you are accusing Sadhu Maharaj of manufacturing the

process of chanting Sri Chaitanya's name in japa.

 

Whether ISKCON devotees should perform this japa is another topic, but the

fact that it was not manufactured by Sadhu maharaj should be admitted.

 

>But no acarya in our line has ever advocate chanting

>the names of Nitai and Gauranga on mala as is being

>presented by BR Swami.

 

I believe I have heard Brahmananda prabhu saying Srila Prabhupada told him

the devotees in Africa could chant rounds of Pancatattva mantra instead of

Hare Krishna mahamantra because they were too fallen. Perhaps this could be

confirmed or denied by asking him, since he is also in Vrindavan.

 

>That is the pramana.

 

No idea what your talking about here.

 

>Hare Krishna maha-mantra encompasses all aspect

>of Krishna, His lilas, rasas and everything else.

 

Yet devotees such as Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya performed japa and dhyana on

the names of Sri Krishna Chaitanya.

 

In Srila Prabhupada's own words: "The Bha˜˜€c€rya always chanted the holy

name of ®r… KŠa Caitanya..."

 

>No need to invent any japa of Nitai and Gauranga, when

>Their holy names is already included within the mahamantra. Hare Krishna

>maha-mantra encompasses all aspect of Krishna, His lilas, rasas and

>everything else.

 

Yet we acknowledge the necessity to pray to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and His

associates through the Panchatattva Mantra. By your logic one could just

chant the Hare Krishna mahamantra directly since everything is already

included within it.
