Dear Babaji Maharaj, Koti dandavat.

I am very glad to see your endeavors to try and clear up the satam ninda atmosphere in Iskcon-related devotees against all Gaudiya Math. Although I am not sure if the situation can be repaired. If I thought this problem might be solved, then I could be more hopeful. Please give me some clues as to how you hope to succeed.

Jaya Radhe!!! Tava dasanudas Hrisikesananda...

The answer by Srila Baba Maharaj

All glories to Śrī Śrī Guru-Gaurāṅga

Honourable Richard Shaw Brown (Hṛṣīkeśānanda)

Dear/honourable Prabhu-jī,

Countless daṇḍavat-praṇām unto your lotus feet for the approval of our honest and sincere efforts to establish the Absolute Truth as it is – by destroying all those wrong arrogant vicāras of those anti-Gauḍīya parties. We can never break down with hopeless mood because all our divine Guru-vargasare there behind us to take control over the situation created by those antagonists. So any how today or tomorrow or day after tomorrow surely you can see the magic result of our honest effort to rectify the dirty situation prevailing all around the world in the whole devotional field. Perhaps you have idea about how a very small dose of homeopathic medicine can act inside the body to bring about miraculous change to cure the most dangerous disease like cancer or leprosy etc. So no doubt you can keep hope. Anyway someone has to start the basic protest-sevā as per the order of The Prabhupāda and in the long run it can take a havoc form, otherwise we can never come out successful. All our countless speeches (in different languages), writings (books & papers), quotes & banners or protest notes and letters etc. surely can have a great impact on those negative propagandas run by those antagonists. So it is our honest and sincere request unto your lotus feet to help us propagate our messages all over the world as soon as possible to rectify the dirty situation prevailing all over the world in the name of Gauḍīya bhajana. Though you know that we have no sufficient man power & money power, but still the divine power given by our Gauḍīya Guru-varga is more than sufficient to crush down the anti-devotional castle erected by those antagonists. We hope that surely according to your understanding you can come forward to help us so that you can enjoy the immense kṛpā of Śrīman Nityānanda Balarāma who is well known as pāṣaṇḍa-dalana-avatāra.
