Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 Hare Srinivasa The ghast vandalism that has happened at Sri Naraharitheertha ra vrindana has raked up some questions in me. The very first question is how could this have happened? The divine power(i mean sannidhana) in such places can never have let such things to have happen if it were mere vandalism. paramarthically i feel there has to be some deeper meaning to what has happened.Since we all belive that Shri Hari is the doer of all and without his will a balde of grass can not move, how could such an incident happen? I have been fortunate enough to listen to Bhagavatha by both Shri Gopinathacharya galagali and Shri Prabhanjanacharya, this incident reminds me of Parikshita raja throwing a dead serpent on Shamika muni.Drawing paralells(i am not very sure weather we can think in that manner??) we can notice that a)the king under the influence of kali (Or shri Hari's sankalpa????) was forced to do such a thing. b)Also we can see that the incident did no harm any way to the great muni or his sanctity.But on the contrary became the reason for this world to know of Shrimad Bhagavatha. Is this incident something similar?? And secondly I am extremly disturbed reading mails blaming swamijis for this incident.We should not forget that they are peethadipathis of very pious institutions. They have special presence of hari and vayu in them and talking about them is loose terms is no less vandalistic than the incident itself. I would also request to know about the works of Shri Narahari theetharu.I am ashamed of myself when i say that i dont even know what his works are, but i feel that great people like Shri Naraharitheeertha ru are present more prominently in their works than in their vrindavana. Please do correct me if my thoughts are wrong. regards Prabhanjana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 Namaskara, Sir, Sorry for hurting ur sentiments regarding my previous mail on swamijis being held responsible for the destruction of vrindavan. It was not my intention to blame any swamiji in this regard,becos i still have a high regard on them. My mail was to just brief everybody what has happened till now and in future atleast all the madhwa mutts should join hands and find a solution for these incidents. But as u said i dont agree my mail is an act of vandalism which is greater than what happened in hampi. As i said it was just to convey people about the differences existing b/w the mutts. Anyway i thank u for the thoughts and will help in correcting myself.
