Narayana Maharaja Should be Neglected
BY: GEORGE A. SMITH
Jan 25, USA (SUN) — As I mentioned in an earlier article, I no longer consider Narayana Maharja to be capable of accomplishing what he appears to me to be attempting to do. Nevertheless, Lokaguru das has reminded me that he still breaths and because of this, there will be some who may still come to accept him, through lack of awareness. And so I post this.
One becomes inattentive (pramada) to what is spiritually beneficial to oneself when the object that one's mind is being attentive to is the satisfaction of some material desire, such as winning favor and respect (puja) in the eyes of others, be it in the eyes of one's peers or in the eyes of one's accepted spiritual authority who just doesn't happen to be qualified. The desires of a guru who isn't qualified are material desires.
The blind faith disciple who is serving such a guru, who is seeking to satisfy his guru's desires and to fulfill his guru's orders, is seeking to satisfy his guru's material desires. Even if such a disciple of such a guru is able to fulfill the order of his accepted spiritual master, since his spiritual master's desires are for some material satisfaction, no spiritual benefit can accrue from such service. In fact, since one is not actually serving Krsna in what one is doing, the reactions that one can expect even from the complete satisfaction of such material desires is entirely karmic, one "does" only sin.
Inattentiveness (parmada) again is inherent to our condition and no amount of wishful thing, or the service to one's own, or to some other's material desires, is going to relieve one of it. One makes mistakes and "ignorance of the law is no excuse". Tirtha rots in prison because of his service to an unqualified guru. Tirtha is an extreme case, but how many others in the service of unqualified gurus have gotten a result to their spiritual detriment? Even if one receives some material benefit from the service of such rascals, the illusion that one has become an advanced devotee is simply that. But the tendency to accept the illusion for reality, to mistake oneself as being a spiritually advanced person, is also inherent to our materially conditioned state of existence. It is another one of our four principle defects, vipralipsa, to cheat ourselves (what to speak of others) by accepting the illusion as fact.
We see this going on in the GBC. We also see this going on in the ranks of Srila Narayana Maharaja's disciples. Narayana Maharaja is also inattentive, and exactly to what I am not going to tell him, lest he use such information to his advantage. Instead, I will say this for those who are not as yet aware of how much of a mistake it would be for them to accept Narayana Maharaja as their guru:
I am no authority on what services may be performed for the satisfaction of the various gurus in the movement today in the eyes of their disciples, of whether it is permissible for them to lie, steal, cheat and even to commit murder, but Srila Prabhupada didn't think so. Narayana claims in his explanation of the abuses of the children that occurred in ISKCON, that it was both OK in the eyes of Srila Prabhupada and in the eyes of Krsna for these things to go on, and that even though Srila Prabhupada knew about it he did not do anything, for the good of the whole universe.
Narayana Maharaja loves to explain everything, to have an answer to every question. By acting in this manner he maintains the facade that he is what his disciples consider him to be, instead of just being an envious "or" jealous demon in Vaishnava dress. But in this answer to the child abuse question, he has bitten off more than he can chew and rather than accept his explanation, we join in the service of Srila Prabhupada and Sri Krsna in opposing him.
Narayana Maharaja: "This is a very good school. We should send all our children to this school." This may raise some doubts that he is a perfected soul and can see everything. (Srila Prabhupada on the Dallas Gurukula)
Srila Narayana Maharaja: Besides that, he gave renounced order, sannyasa, to so many; and about 90% have fallen down. The doubt is whether he knew this fact or not. If he was sarvajna, all knowing, he should have known at that time. Why would he have given renounced order to bogus persons who would later on leave? Why? If he was sarvajna, he should first know a person's quality, and then give sannyasa. Do you realize this fact -- “that he was a saktavesa avatara?
"Considering all these points we can understand that Prabhupada did not do anything improper. He was sarvajna, and he wanted to do good for all. It was not the fault of Prabhupada; it was fault of their bad karma of past births and also this birth. We should realize this."
"Prabhupada came as though he was in the stage of madhyama adhikari, as though he didn't know anything; and on a few occasions be said to certain disciples, "I am not sarvajna". Although he was preaching here and there, he is actually not a madhyama adhikari. He is more than that. A madhyama adhikari can do anything wrong, and it seems that he has done something wrong; but actually he has not. Everything that happened was okay, and it was for the gain of the whole universe."
Excerpts from: Did Srila Prabhupada Know? by Narayana Maharaja
The jist of this is that Krsna, Srila Prabhupada and Narayana Maharaja all condone the sacrifice of little children. If you accept Narayana Maharaja you accept this. If you accept this, then you accept that Krsna is no better than the ancient idol Baal to whom the lives of little children were also sacrificed, also "for the "gain of the whole universe" in the eyes of this idol's priests.
It is "okay" in the eyes of Narayana Maharaja for little children to be raped and otherwise abused in the service of his mission, but it is not OK in Krsna's eyes or in the eyes of Srila Prabhupada that this should be done in their service and anyone who says that it is, is Krsna's and Srila Prabhupada's enemy.
