Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 dear Mother Ramadevi Please accept my humble obaisences All glories to Srila Prabhupada Please forgive me Mataji , you acted on Srila Prabhupadas instruction so there is no harm. However luckily I have never seen this practice in LondonI I have actually spend a year in Soho Street in 1996, and was the temple commander, I was running the temple on a practical level as Mahadyuti was not much around, devotees know me there. I have not been back to the UK since, I spend some time in the Manor also and did some bookdistribution. Ajamila Prabhu knows me well also. Please forgive me my offenses, I will go see Yamaharaja.Rolls Royce is fine for Lord Jagannatha.But still the watch to be given to the Lord that creates time is plain stupid, I am sorry.Srila Prabhupada states in the CC that Gunja berries is small conchshells, we all know it is berries, the BBT refuse to edit this part as Srila Prabhupada apeears to have said it. I owe my life to the Lotusfeet of Srila Prabhupada so I guess there is 2 things I now disagree with Srila Prabhupada about the Gunjaberries not being small conschels and the wrist watch on Krsna.I have never seen Radha London Isvara with a watch when I was there in Soho street and I would never have condoned it. Instead of putting a watch on Krsna, please instead look to the cleanliness of the allter.It was a bit neglected when I came, some of the area that a bit harder to clean needs attention, it is a practice often neglected in the west. I once cleaned out under the alter of Radha Gopinath in Toronto, found 300 canadian dollars under the 3 alters , tons of dust, and things that had not been cleaned in years, and a glue trap with a dead mouse, that had been there for long time. I joined in 79 in Sweden helped start ISKCON in Denmark, was initiated by Harikesa and after he left took reinitiation from Narayana Maharaja.(that there is a lot of aversion to in the UK) but have served in ISKCON all the time, and am trying to distribute Srila Prabhupadas books for 27 years now. I am not any longer afilliated with their institution as they preach there is no Kalki avatar in this Kali yuga, not maybe the most important issue, but to me it is. To be honest with you mataji they cant understand why some deities are named for example Radha Londonisvara or Radha Parisisvara, that is common in many Gaudiya mathas.When the Lord is the Lord of the universe, being Lord of London is no big deal, I never had a problem with it really I love Radha London Isvara , and Radha Gokulananda, I miss their darshan your "offensive son" and servant Payonidhi das PS actually mataji I don't mind the Gaudiya math standard with only men living in the temples, I personally prefere it.for many reasons, but Srila Prabhupada introduced a system in the west to save the ladies and I respect it.Obviously many ladies like your self is doing wonderfull seva, I also like that less grhasthas run the temples and more sannyasis and brahmacaries like in Gaudiya math ( I was a brahmacari for 19 years) before getting married.I have seen many grhastha TPs make the temple a source of great personal income so I really don't like this system to be honest.Only if the TP is a grhastha that is totaly honest and only takes minimum for himself. Sometimes there has been grhamedhi TP's that fall down with several ladies, and that is so disgusting.I do keep regular contacts with Narayana Maharaja who has been misunderstood a lot by some persons in ISKCON via email ,I get the answer to many questions no one else can answer me.But I would never ask anyone to leave ISKCON and go there and some have a negative attitude towards ISKCON and see the faults, there is many Prabhupada disciples there as well.But Prabhupada wanted us to stay in ISKCON. Dear Payonidhi Prabhu, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Then I am ready to meet Lord Yamaraja and humbly bow before him as he gives me a good beating because many times, for the aforementioned reasons, I have dressed London Isvara with a watch. It is also nowhere mentioned in Krishna Lila that Krishna rides in a Rolls Royce car as Lord Jagannath does, or lives in the middle of a red light district - Soho in London - as London Isvara does. The Gaudiya Math also do not accept ladies so should all of us ladies just go away? Srila Prabhupada was unique and gave us very special and personal ways of serving Krishna. I'm sorry you disagree with him.... Your servant, Ramadevi dasi. PS Prabhu who are and who is your Guru Maharaja? I don't believe I have had the pleasure of your association before.
