All those blessed Sārasvata Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava Devotees all over the world
Dear/ Blessed devotees,
Śrīla Bābā Mahārāja wants to pay daṇḍavat praṇāma unto the lotus feet of all the Gauḍīya devotees. He is begging for unalloyed kṛpā from all of you without any hesitation. He is requesting to you all from the core of his heart in the following way— “Please feel free to bestow kṛpā upon me in true sense, so that I can get the eternal sevā of The Prabhupāda. I like to beg for pardon for putting you all in trouble (or anxiety) by always speaking and writing about the Absolute Truth heavily. Maybe for that reason most of you have accepted me as your worst enemy, but I am sure that If you are lucky enough, then today or tomorrow or someday or some life you can realise why-how-when and for whom I was bound to become so strict, and what was my interest in it? It is the fact that Absolute Truth can never enjoy popularity. What to say about getting popularity, even everybody can go against him who is speaking about that Absolute Truth, because it’s quite natural by the influence of Māyā-devī.”
In fact, Māyā-devī cannot allow us to become niṣkapaṭa (The Prabhupāda said this). The Prabhupāda used to say that— “Without 100% saraṇāgati unto the Lotus feet of the Supreme Lord (I mean unto the Lotus feet of Sad-Guru), one cannot speak about that Absolute Truth (without any hesitation).” He further wanted to confirm that— “Who is absolutely devoid of the smell of pratiṣṭhā, only & only he can become ‘tṛṇād api sunīc’ in true sense.” This is the absolute definition of ‘tṛṇād api sunīce’ bhava in true sense (by The Prabhupāda), but this is a matter of grief that— who can realise this most vital point in this whole world at present!
Śrīla Baba Mahārāja further wanted to confirm those following points—
...By the mercy of The Prabhupāda up to now—not even a single question was left untouched (I mean unsolved) by me, I mean all of you got satisfactory answers (to the point answers) to all the questions asked to me all the time, maybe regarding sāmpradāyika issue or siddhānta-virodha or rasābhāsa or criticism or any strange unknown topic whatever it may be. That was only possible by the unalloyed kṛpā of Śrīla Prabhupāda and guru-varga, otherwise who am I to do this kind of absolute sevā.
...Though as per The Prabhupāda— “It is the only duty (I mean the most fundamental duty) of an ācārya, to give full protection to siddhānta vāṇī vaibhava of our sampradāya.” But in fact, nobody (no ācārya) now at present thinks it necessary to follow the instructions of The Prabhupāda in toto. This fact is already proven. Śrīla Saccidananda Bhakti Vinoda Ṭhākura expressed great concern about the protection and preservation of sāmpradāyika dignity long ago, at least 150 years back. Now at present we are facing an uncontrolled (or lawless) situation in our gauḍīya bhajana-field all over the world. As a faithful loyal dog of my spiritual master (Gurudeva and guru-varga), this has been the most fundamental duty in my bhajana-life to carry out the instructions of The Prabhupāda to restore or to rectify all those wrong siddhānta vicāras (or to erase any misconception) and to establish those absolute siddhānta vicāras under the strict guidance of The Prabhupāda. Śrīman Mahāprabhu Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Deva – The Supreme Lord Himself – has already shown us strong rigidity regarding the establishment of suddha siddhānta vicāras or absolute ācarana.
From ‘Dainika Nadiyā Prakāśa’ we can find the absolutely fearless voice of Guru-Gauḍīya—
“The mercy of Gaurāṅga Mahāprabhu is not for those who want to remain socially perfect in the eyes of those conditioned souls, rather it is for those who are ready to face any kind of eventuality to be sacrificed under the sacrificial sword of plain Absolute Truth, it’s only for those who are ready to undergo the process of ploughing their field of heart through śuddha Hari-kathā, only where the seed of genuine bhakti can be sown...
…To inflict pain to a jīva is a sin, but to keep that jīva away from the Absolute Truth is a direct violence towards that jivā (jīva-hiṁsā). A guru is not a flatterer. A genuine guru is such a dense cloud having the possibility of launching a thunderbolt. His silence is more terrible than his voice. So get up – O preacher of the Eternal Realm! Take up the conch of śabdha brahma. Let its blowing sound in the form of resonance awaken those who are in a sleeping state in the graveyards of diluted kathā (grāmya-kathā) not related to Kṛṣṇa. Let it burn the veil of saṁsāra and summon back the jīva to Vraja-Dhāma...”
Śrīla Baba Mahārāj is bound to share some of his painful feelings in the following way—
“...After all, at present, all of our guru-varga went away one by one from this material world, and at present it seems that the bhajana-field is almost vacant. I was strongly expecting that someday someone must come up as the representative of The Prabhupāda to stop all kinds of nonsense, what all are happening at present in the name of Hari-bhajana. But what to do, no one visible! So at present as per the divine inspiration received from Śrīla Prabhupāda (or Guru-pādapadma) – I would like to avoid giving any response to any controversial issue from the next 31st of December 2025. For any question or for any issue regarding those controversial matters – you all are requested to approach all those international preachers (ācāryas). No more I like to increase your concern regarding your fanciful mood of Hari-bhajana, I don’t like to interfere with all of your fanciful mood of Hari-bhajana. What is going to happen, let it be so, I can take it as granted as the desire of Baladeva Bhagavān, because even after giving the last drop of blood of my body I am unable to stop the downfall of the whole sāmpradāyika-system. The Prabhupāda also left his body with this kind of painful heart.
At present I like to concentrate more and more only on the absolute issue of śrī-nāma-saṅkīrtana yajña-agni which was enlightened originally by Śrīman Mahāprabhu and which was propagated and protected absolutely by our Gauḍīya guru-varga so that no traitor (in the guise of Gauḍīya devotee or ācārya) can put off the flame of that śrī-nāma-saṅkīrtana yajña-agni, because they have been trying their best for long time to do so. I like to stop my mouth and pen in this regard, because it is too much for those antagonists those who are controlling the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava Society in the guise of Gauḍīya-Vaiṣṇavācāryas.
Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura and Śrīla Bhaktivinod Ṭhākura came in this world to deliver us all fallen souls from this painful suffering of this material world, but we are so crazy that we are not at all ready to pay any attention to their divine advices, rather we are always ready to jump into the glowing fire of Māyā to commit suicide. How to protect our upcoming future generations, that is the most vital question in front of us.
That’s why under the strict guidance of The Prabhupāda I wanted to ring the same bell of alarm for all those who want to save themselves from putting legs on the quicksand in the name of vaiṣṇava-dharma. Those who are having completely wrong prejudicial conceptions about pure bhāgavata-dharma (vaiṣṇava-dharma) and also those who are unable to get the exact divine taste of that sweet dharma of prema-bhakti, and also those who all are the blind followers of those corrupted devotees of Śrī Gaurāṅga Deva, may all of them can shout forever to provide a fist of fury in the open sky in vain. Only this much I can suggest that we all must concentrate into this matter of pure devotional practice—so that śuddha Hari-kathā kīrtana (I mean śrauta vāṇī) can be revived again from this painful deadly condition.”
