Guest guest Posted June 20, 2000 Report Share Posted June 20, 2000 A few months ago, there was a book sent as as an attached file to Krsna Katha by Radha Raman Prabhu called 'Rasaraj Sri Gauranga' by Haridas babaji. I read a part of the book and I was shocked to see that he quotes from Narahari Sarkara Thakura's songs, Locana dasa Thakura, Murari Gupata, Krishnadas Kaviraja etc etc to prove that Lord Caitanya was the enjoyer of the young damsels of Navadvipa. Infact he goes on to say that unless one realizes this one cannot enter into Radha-Krsna lila in Vrindavan. I was disturbed by reading the quotes from Narahari Sarkara Thakura which seem quite favouring his point of view until I read from Bhakti Vikasa Swami's notes that Bhaktisiddhanta rejected this so-called songs bogusly ascribed to Narahari Sarkara Thakura. Also that which was written about Narahari Sarakara of Srikhanda, and songs bogusly ascribed to him he never accepted. According to historians, Narahari Sarakara worshiped Lord Caitanya as Gauranga-nagara, the enjoyer of Visnupriya, which is bogus and apasampradayic. (told by Jotisekhara Prabhu, BSST disciple) From Bhakti Vikasa Swami notes on BSST It appears that this book & philosophy is none other than the philosophy of the Gauranga Nagaris , one kind of sahajiya cult. It is one of the most dangerous cults because by this kind of philosophy we completely interfere in the mood of Lord Caitanya and we become great offenders unto His lotus feet. I was reassured by also reading that in Caitanya Bhagavata it is described how Lord Caitanya was very careful even when He was a householder in Navadvipa. He would prefer to take a longer route then pass near even a married woman. Radha Raman may not be aware of this problem that the book was not bonafide, but I would like to caution the Katha readers not to read the book or take it seriously otherwise they will be very very confused like it happened to me.
