Having taken diksa from Srila Prabhupada and then thinking that one can get the higher raasa without remaining a co-operative preacher in ISKCON is simply an illusion. Krishna is not going to buy it. Krishna already arranged a perfect guru who said just preach purely and co-operatively and you'll get EVERYTHING. Oh ye of little faith, EVERYTHING was given to you on a plate but you are looking elsewhere. NM is here in UK right now and is being hosted by JK who rejected H.H. Satsvarupa Maharaja to get the higher raaaasa from NM. He has made a huge mistake. Here is what sastra says about unfortunate persons who reject their diksa guru who is in good standing: 1) upadestaram amnayagatam pariharanti ye tan mrtan api kravyadah krtaghnan nopabhuñjate 'Even the vultures will not eat the corpses of those ungrateful persons who abandon the guru coming in disciplic succession as is ordained by scripture.' HBV 4.363, quoted from Brahmavaivarta Purana 2) "Lord Hari rejects anyone who rejects his spiritual master. A person who rejects his spiritual master becomes wicked. His knowledge becomes covered with dirt." (Bhakti-sandarbha, Anuccheda 207, quoted from Brahmavaivarta Purana) The horrible destiny awating JK after his flash honeymoon with his new spiritual guide is written above, loud and clear. And what kind of bona-fide guru would initiate a disciple of another guru in good standing? The more I look at NM the more I want to stay in ISKCON. He says no Kalki avatara in this Kali yuga whereas Srila Prabhupada and Srila Prabhupada say Kalki will definitely come!!! I know who I'm going to believe. Srilaji, you can't serve two masters. OK OK I know you're going to tell me how much we can learn from the Gaudiya tradition. And I'm not opposed to increasing and reinforcing what Srila Prabhupada gave us wherever it might come from. But if for such a measley little learning I have to swallow so many huge warts that come along with it then I'd rather be a little more ignorant but loyal to Srila Prabhupada who has given us a 'complete' formula gauranteed to take us back to Godhead. Keep it simple. Prabhupada packaged it simple: Preach purely in ISKCON till you die and Gokula next birth is gauranteed. Why gamble with anything else? Is it not a gamble to seek rasa from another source at the risk of displeasing Srila Prabhupada? If Srila Prabhupada is displeased one will never ever get rasa, no matter what!! Just preach purely in ISKCON till you die and you've made it. It is guaranteed. And then you'll get all the rasa you want, and more. Sraddha, faith. ys ada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
