Dear /Blessed devotees all around the world.
Dandavat praṇāma to you all.
About the absolute authenticity of Śrīla Baba Maharaj
We are actually not surprised that many devotees somehow or other misunderstand Śrīla Baba Maharaj’s honest effort to do something concrete for the whole Sarasvat Gauḍīya sampradāya. Actually, this is not anyone’s fault, because Mayadevi all the time planning how to make fool of us all. She will not allow us to come to the absolute conclusion. Always some kind of doubt and suspicion will be created by Her.
That is why we have come to the conclusion that from now onward we will represent some of The Prabhupāda’s revolutionary preaching strategies and absolute siddhānta vichars which all are the only guiding star in our Gauḍīya bhajana field, and in that way, we hope that this can also bring more and more clarity on Śrīla Baba Maharaj's preaching mission as well, at least for those who are not totally blind. Those who know Śrīla Baba Maharaj—already they all know it very well that he is not at all deviated even not by an inch from the divine teachings of The Prabhupāda.
Śrīla Prabhupāda’s absolute gaura vani sevā and his uncompromising preaching is known only to a few, that’s why we always try to distribute all those absolute siddhānta vichars in the form of Harikatha, quotes and writings etc. If you have the chance—than please go through those divine Harikathas of Śrīla Baba Maharaj and try to digest all those absolute siddhānta vichars. Try to believe that in this way you can cut all your doubts and suspicion about Śrīla Baba Maharaj.
You all are requested to reach the neutral platform leaving all your prejudicial conception and party colour to realize all those absolute siddhānta vichars, otherwise you are bound to misunderstand Śrīla Baba Maharaj.
From now onward it is our resolution to publish again and again all those divine writings of Śrīla Saccidananda Baktivinod Ṭhākura, Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvati Gosvāmī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda, Śrīla Bhakti Pragyan Kesava Gosvāmī Maharaj, Śrīla Bhakti Rakshak Śrīdhra Dev Gosvāmī Maharaj, Śrīla Promode Puri Gosvāmī Maharaj, Śrī Śrīla Sadananda Svami, Śrīla Bhakti Hridaya Bon Gosvāmī Maharaj or Śrīla Nisikantha Sanyal etc. etc. from different authentic sources like Nadia Prakash, Sajjan Toshani or Gauḍīya etc. etc. under the heading of Śrī Bhakti Siddhānta Vani Sevā Trust (A symbol of complete trust and faith in the way of Gauḍīya-Bhajan), now it is up to you whether to accept or reject all those absolute treasures (Goloka Vani).
Please try to remember that— “If we fail to see our Gauḍīya guru-vargas aprākṛta vani svarūpa—then our guru darśana or vaiṣṇava darśana is totally failure.” (By Baba Śrī Shyam Das)
Śrīla Bhakti Hridoya Bon Gosvāmī said that— “We are Sarasvati-Putra, the sons of Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvati Ṭhākura.” As long as we are drinking lion’s milk we can never feel it necessary to drink something else. Quality and quantity can never persist together. In the whole world at least if we can find one or two persons who truly like to follow Gauḍīya Goṣṭhī Pati Śrī Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda—Paramahaṁsa Jagad Guru from heart, then we can think that all our efforts in the form of Gauḍīya Mission can come out successful, no doubt in it.
Svami Sadananda Dasa used to say that— “Shastram means that which governs us, restrains, corrects, chastises us. It is not the way you think, says the Shastram. What you yourself like, feel, love and think: The Absolute etc. must be like this or that—let go of it, altogether. Listen to what I, the Shastram, say, and you must accept it—if you have shraddha, at all—and hear it over and over again, however unpleasant, uncomfortable and totally contrary to your expectation it may be.”
In one letter to Vamandas Sadananda Svami also writes—
"Bhaktiyoga makes enjoyment impossible, because through bhakti everything is used in the service, and it completely burns up all that is called man—except the atma. Only when You hide away this meaning, there will be something left that delights, enthuses man. If You give the Shastrams fully unveiled people will stone You, not invite You. [...] They will be really terrified when I open my mouth.”
When Śrīla Baba Maharaj got the golden opportunity to write the praṇāma mantra of the great Vaiṣṇava Ṭhākura --Śrīla Svami Sadananda then he wrote that— “All day and night he was always busy with Goloka-vani-sevā just like Śrīla Prabhupāda, which is really remarkable and rare. Not only that but also the way of his representation of śuddha bhakti siddhānta vani was never under any compromise, just the same like The Prabhupāda. Really, he was like agni garbha (fiery) siddhānta murti of Śrīla Prabhupāda, because any sahajiyā or any wayward devotee could not (or cannot) digest those aprākṛta hari kathā like fire. He had too much oneness with his Gurudeva Śrīla Prabhupāda, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to carry out the order of Śrīla Prabhupāda so perfectly, that is why Śrīla Prabhupāda used to say that— “You and I, we have been together throughout eternity”. How many people on this earth can realize his writings or speeches, that is the most vital question, because we think that the whole world is inundated by maya rasa.”
Paramahaṁsa ācārya Śrī Śrīla Bhakti Pramode Puri Gosvāmī Maharaj also said that— "I had one German godbrother, Sadananda Prabhu. He was very learned. He would stay up all night translating the words of the shastras and of Prabhupāda into German. We should have such determination."
Thanks a lot
Truly yours in the service of Śrī Śrī Guru-Gauranga and Go-Mata
