Dear Basu Ghosh Prabhu,

Hare Krsna. Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila

Prabhupada.

Kindly answer my one question:

 

Are Cc and Caitanya Bhagavata (written by Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Goswami)

considered scriptures by you? Please give a clear answer yes or no. If yes

then it has to accepted that they are bhakti-smrti-sastras and if no then

they why did Prabhupada say that he wants his disciples to study the Vedic

literatures like Gita, Bhagavatam & Cc. He never said that Cc is not a

sastra. Infact it is accepted as the post-graduate study of all the sastras.

If Valmiki's & Manu's compositions are sastra according to you then why not

the books of the six Goswamis & Srila Prabhupada? Why is it being implied

that liberated souls means only Vyasadeva, Valmiki, Manu and only some few

others? Please give the sastric proof for this. I think this is backward

logic. Because you already know that some books are accepted as sastras, we

are saying that their authors are the only liberated souls who can give us

sastra.

 

Your servant,

Nayana-ranjana das
