Bagels Ki Jaya!!!

Feb 15, NEW YORK (SUN) — Bagels Ki Jaya!!! HDG Braj Bihari Ki Jaya!! Pizza Ki Jaya!!! Comment on Dharma & Adharmas.

O! Only now after finding and reading his self-realized eloquent dissertation on Pizza or Pakoras can I see his true greatness. He is my Priya Shiksa Guru who has opened my eyes to see what has been holding me back on the Madhyama platform for O so many long years now… Now I see that I was so wrong to passionately believe that I must discriminate. Now with his divine wisdom I can see that everything is the same. Because Krsna loves me so much He will accept anything that I offer Him. He was so happy when Sudama Brahmana offered Him stale chipped rice. Of course He would accept a Bagel or two or a Mexican Pizza! What was I thinking! HDG Braj Bihari knows what Sri Krsna likes better than even He Himself does!

I was for so long under the misunderstanding that to see like this was like a Kanistha thinking that they were an Uttama adhikari who had come down to the Madhyama platform to preach! You know, that old PDS (Pure Devotee Syndrome). I can see clearly now, the rain of my illusion has gone and so now my way is clear to truly enter into the divine realm of Uttama adhikara! Oh reality the beautiful!

Now I understand why such a wonderful thing has manifest in the heart of one such glorious devotee of the Lord who by Shri Krsna’s mercy has been residing in the holiest of holy abodes, Shree Vrindavana Dhama for so many years now. Such intimate seva he must have performed for the most beautiful Lords Sri Sri RadhaSyamasundara. How many countless divinely sumptuous pizzas & bagels has he baked with such loving hands and offered with love steeped in divine devotion to the Lords and then shared with all the Vaisnavas?

How has this glorious thing happened? Surely such a thing can only be due to the causeless mercy of his Diksa Guru, HDG Burijana Prabhu. Only a pure devotee, a true Uttama Adhkari of the highest standard can write an “overview” of the Bhagavad Gita As It Is and the Srimad Bhagavatam! But that is not all! He has also taken the shelter of the lotus feet of other gurus.. He is so magnanimous that he does not see the difference between the Vaisnava guru and the Academic/Corporate guru. Thus he has included gurus like HDG Zack, HDG Covey and HDG Halverstadt into our parampara! O I am so breathless…

Now through these newly incorporated ISKCON gurus I can finally see the right perspective of my devotional life and now truly understand what Srila Prabhupada was talking about. Before I was involved in a small group of subjective and very vocal devotees who were merely displaying how entrenched they were in their culturally biased point of view.

I was so steeped in subjective realism that I could not see that everything that Srila Prabhupada has said was not to be taken at face value. What he said in fact represented something else. The knowledge of this something else was not available to my culturally biased intellect, which was askew with misunderstandings.

I even went as far as thinking that he was influenced by his own cultural background. But woe is me… This is not true. His own religo-cultural background actually led him to break free of any cultural bias, freeing not only him, but others of his kind, to see what was wrong with everyone else’s understanding.

The Vaisnava culture that Srila Prabhupada had given us was more complicated than I imagined. Now with the divine help of the new gurus and new age corporate acharyas like HDG Braj Bihari, I can truly understand this process of Krsna Consciousness. I should have enrolled in the local college to do a course on Business Management and hope to go get a Ph.D or two soon! O the joy of it all!

I am truly moved. Now I have finally received salvation. I am free now to enjoy pizzas and bagels and the bliss of understanding that everything is in fact equal. Now I am UTTAMA. All glories to HDG Braj Bihari prabhu.
