What We Have Heard from the Spiritual Master, That is Living
BY: MAHESH RAJA
Aug 08, 2010 — UK (SUN) — In Kurma (not the chef) das prabhu's recent article, " Let's All Follow Srila Prabhupada -- That's Simplicity ", he writes:
"There is absolutely no scriptural law that prevents one now, or in ten thousand years time, from being a follower of Srila Prabhupada!"
This is a FACT. Let's examine further:
What we have is 1) Gaudiya Matha, and 2) Unauthorized conditioned soul bogus GBC rubber-stamped self-made gurus.
1) Gaudiya Matha
Srila Prabhupada mentions that his Gaudiya Matha godbrothers DISOBEYED the Guru. So HOW can one be guru by DISOBEYING Guru? This letter is more than sufficient evidence to say they are NOT guru.
Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Rupanuga, April 28, 1974:
"You are right about Sridhara Maharaja's genuineness. But in my opinion he is the best of the lot. He is my old friend, AT LEAST HE EXECUTES THE REGULATIVE PRINCIPLES OF DEVOTIONAL SERVICE. I do not wish to discuss about activities of my Godbrothers but it is a fact they have no life for preaching work. All are satisfied with a place for residence in the name of a temple, they engage disciples to get foodstuff by transcendental devices and eat and sleep. They have no idea or brain how to broacast the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. My Guru Maharaja used to lament many times for this reason and he thought if one man at least had understood the principle of preaching then his mission would achieve success. In the latter days of my Guru Maharaja he was very disgusted. Actually, he left this world earlier, otherwise he would have continued to live for more years. Still he requested his disciples to form a strong Governing body for preaching the cult of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. HE NEVER RECOMMENDED ANYONE TO BE ACARYA OF THE GAUDIYA MATH. BUT SRIDHARA MAHARAJA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DISOBEYING THIS ORDER OF GURU MAHARAJA, AND HE AND OTHERS WHO ARE ALREADY DEAD UNNECESSARILY THOUGHT THAT THERE MUST BE ONE ACARYA. If Guru Maharaja could have seen someone who was qualified at that time to be acarya he would have mentioned. Because on the night before he passed away he talked of so many things, but never mentioned an acarya. His idea was acarya was not to be nominated amongst the governing body. He said openly you make a GBC and conduct the mission. So his idea was amongst the members of GBC who would come out successful and self effulgent acarya would be automatically selected. So Sridhara Maharaja and his two associate gentlemen unauthorizedly selected one acarya and later it proved a failure. THE RESULT IS NOW EVERYONE IS CLAIMING TO BE ACARYA EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY BE KANISTHA ADHIKARI WITH NO ABILITY TO PREACH. IN SOME OF THE CAMPS THE ACARYA IS BEING CHANGED THREE TIMES A YEAR. THEREFORE WE MAY NOT COMMIT THE SAME MISTAKE IN OUR ISKCON CAMP. ACTUALLY AMONGST MY GODBROTHERS NO ONE IS QUALIFIED TO BECOME ACARYA. SO IT IS BETTER NOT TO MIX WITH MY GODBROTHERS VERY INTIMATELY BECAUSE INSTEAD OF INSPIRING OUR STUDENTS AND DISCIPLES THEY MAY SOMETIMES POLLUTE THEM. This attempt was made previously by them, especially Madhava Maharaja and Tirtha Maharaja and Bon Maharaja but somehow or other I saved the situation. This is going on. We shall be very careful about them and not mix with them. This is my instruction to you all. They cannot help us in our movement, but they are very competent to harm our natural progress. So we must be very careful about them."
2) Unauthorized conditioned soul bogus GBC rubberstamped self-made gurus.
Srila Prabhupada Conversation, May 28, 1977, Vrindavan:
Prabhupada: "When I order, "You become guru," he becomes regular guru. That's all. He becomes disciple of my disciple. That's it."
"When I order" -- NO ORDER WAS GIVEN. On the contrary, the ONLY instruction that followed TWO months AFTER was as per July 9th, 1977 Letter, that they were to act in the capacity of ritvik representative of the acarya and the disciples initiated would be Srila Prabhupada's, NOT theirs.
Bogus rubber-stamped guru supporters often say… "But Srila Prabhupada did give general orders to be guru before 1977."
So if Srila Prabhupada gave general orders to be guru before 1977, then WHY did Satsvarupa das and company go to Srila Prabhupada in 1977. They could have just said, WE GOT THE GENERAL ORDER. But they did NOT do that. INSTEAD they went to Srila Prabhupada:
Room Conversation in Vrindavan, May 28, 1977:
Satsvarupa: By the votes of the present GBC. Then our next question concerns initiations in the future, particularly at that time when you're no longer with us. We want to know how first and second initiation would be conducted.
Prabhupada: Yes. I shall recommend some of you. After this is settled up, I shall recommend some of you to act as officiating acaryas.
The very FACT that they went to Srila Prabhupada in 1977 is SO OBVIOUS that they were NOT AUTHORISED as guru BY SRILA PRABHUPADA—AT ALL! They were so desperate they NEEDED -THAT- AUTHORIZATION. The resultant concoction of Zonal "Acaryas" and their HYPOCRITICAL TYRANNY is PROVEN track record that they were ALL LIARS.
HOW can any sane person worship conditioned soul madmen posing as TRANSPARENT VIA MEDIA?
Even Tamal Krsna in 1977 ADMITTED they were ALL conditioned souls:
Srila Prabhupada Room Conversation, Bombay, April 22, 1977
Prabhupada: What is the use of producing some rascal guru?
Tamala Krsna: Well, I have studied myself and all of your disciples, and it's clear fact that we are all conditioned souls, so we cannot be guru. Maybe one day it may be possible...
Prabhupada: Hm.
Tamala Krsna: ...but not now.
Prabhupada: Yes. I shall choose some guru. I shall SAY, "Now you become ACARYA. You become authorized." I am waiting for that. You become all acarya. I retire completely. But the training must be complete.
In my article, "Become Guru by Order, That's All", I have quoted extensively Srila Prabhupada, who unequivocally stated:
Srila Prabhupada Lecture on Nectar of Devotion, October 31. 1972
Since it is a FACT that neither the Gaudiya matha folks NOR the bogus gbc conditioned soul self-made rubber-stamped "gurus" were authorized. That makes them ALL USELESS. Why not simply accept Srila Prabhupada as THE GURU and worship him.
