The past few texts by Mahanidhi Prabhu have been complete speculations about

Narayan Maharaja with slanderous intimations based upon trumpred-up

accounts -- all without a SHRED of evidence or fact.

 

Supply some hard data or stand accused of SADHU-NINDA.

 

I submit this before all respectable souls for their consideration.

This slander of senior Gaudiya Vaisnavas must stop at once.

 

The "noncooperation" you speak of has from the very beginning been instigated

by ISKCON and the GBC through: a) specific resolutions, b) position papers,

c) preaching by senior ISKCON leaders (eg, Badri-Narayana's stuff published on

COM.) besides systematic and concrete actions (eg, banishing devotees and

forbidding anyone to associate with Narayana Maharaja) in temples around the

world.

 

The sum total of all this poor judgment and uncouth behavior -- initiated and

sustained by the GBC -- is like a cloud of ignorance causing all kinds of

inauspiciousness to ISKCON. Mahanidhi Prabhu is simply making himself another

unconscious perpetrator of these misconceptions, half-truths and lies.

 

If there has been retaliation from the other side (NM's followers), that has

all been precipitated by the GBC. The situation has become complicated and

unfortunate, but like Daksa's arena, the offenses were initiated by the

foolishness of "Daksa" -- the GBC. We all know what happened to Daksa in the

aftermath of insulting the great Vaisnava, Lord Siva. O wise souls, please

beware!

 

As (former) disciples of Harikesa Swami, you should also know that Harikesa

was instrumental in promoting the current misguided GBC policies against

Narayan Maharaja. Harikesa Maharaja -- most unfortunately, I might add -- is

now suffering from the result of his offenses to both Narayan Maharaja and

Srila BR Sridhara Maharaja by falling down from sannyasa -- just as

Bhavananda, Bhagavan and the rest of them have. Otherwise, how can you

explain such a sudden departure from his outstanding performance in SP's

mission? Only one cause: serious offenses to senior Vaisnavas.

 

Narayan Maharaja is not falling down from devotional service. But Harikesa

did. And Bhakti-Madhava Vaidhurya Maharaja, as well, who also falsely accused

Narayan Maharaja publicly.

 

I pray at the feet of all the assembled devotees and caution everyone on this

conference to exercise great care not to make further offense to highly senior

Vaisnavas. It bodes ill for one and all.

Don't be misled by all that goes on in the name of "GBC approved" and ISKCON

village-talk. The Zonal Acarya system was also "authorized" by the GBC but it

created only disaster.

 

Get the facts straight. Hear from and observe our senior Gaudiya Vaisnavas

first-hand. Then judge for yourselves. Be spiritual scientists, not

gossipmongers. Rely on your genuine realizations, not 2nd-hand hearsay and

trumped-up accounts.

 

Most gravely,

 

As a servant of the Vaisnavas,

 

Srila dasa

 

PS: Don't rely on what I say. Talk to Payonidhi Prabhu. Experience the truth

of sadhu-sanga yourself. Krsne matir astu.
