Gadurika-pravaha. Gadurika-pravaha-nyaya. There is a logic of gadurika-pravaha. One man is doing something, and another man is following" (SB 3.25.25 lecture, November 25, 1974, Bombay). > Because the first word is always differently spelled you have to > search it out by looking for the second word: "pravaha." Is anyone > familiar with this sloka? My guess is that sloka goes as follows: > > ga€k€-prav€ha-ny€ya > > ga€k€--a river whose source and course are unknown; prav€ha--to flow; > ny€ya--logic. > > The logic of blind following, or "going with the flow." > > > > For those that don't have Sanskrit fonts here is the same sloka but > without diacritics: > > gaddarka-pravaha-nyaya > > gaddarka--a river whose source and course are unknown; pravaha--to flow; > nyaya--logic. > > The logic of blind following, or "going with the flow."
