Guest guest Posted November 23, 1998 Report Share Posted November 23, 1998 Home Base: Sri Mayapur Candrodaya Mandir, Navadwip Dhama, Nadia, WB, INDIA My Dear Spiritual Son Sriram, Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thankyou for your letter cited below with my comments. I have noted the contents carefully. > Dear Acaryapad, > > I would like to know if shaastric references are a must for each and > every viewpoint, message opinioned and if general reference > like "It is said in the puraanas.." etc is used, does it mean > that the author of the article is a neophyte and an idiot as > considered by many advanced devotees ? > > I have come across many devotees who are very discouraging > in this respect , please clarify this point. > > Humbly Yours, > > Sriram,Balaraman Well if you doubt what the person says or want to know what Purana states it then you could respectfully ask the person and he should give some respectful reply. Some things are so well known that to say that the Puranas say may not be inappropriate. However, usually some specific Purana is to be mentioned to make it more authoritative. I hope that this finds you in good health. Your ever well wisher, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
