Seems a lot of our oral history remains that way and needs to be written

down. Especially that which involves the first disciples like Yamuna devi

and others, and those who were involved in specific services where standards

were set. Some urban legends have sprung up around so many issues, simply

because the person these things were spoken to has not recorded them. It

speaks of an urgency to amend this lacking.

 

So while we have our "histories" in the form of diaries, memories, and the

Lilamrita, there is still much more needed from Prabhupada's disciples about

standards such as the one we're discussing before the opportunity is lost.

 

BTW Payonidhi prabhu, Ramadevi dasi joined in 1971 and served Radha

Londonisvara, so asking her for "witnesses" seems somewhat superfluous, if

you'll excuse my saying so. She is a reliable person and was the servant of

the Deities, so if we start rejecting what someone says and asking for

"proof", then we might as well throw most of the aforementioned diaries,

memories, and Lilamrita in the Ganga, since a good portion of them rely on

eye witnesses and personal memories. These things are bona fide sources...
