To stop confusion created through misinformation or mispreaching

(New generation can never accept your irrational comments, they always want to get scientific reply)

From Śrīmad Bhāgavat Purāṇa we can see the following śloka —

para-svabhāva-karmāṇi

na praśaṁsen na garhayet

viśvam ekātmakaṁ paśyan

prakṛtyā puruṣeṇa ca

tāra madhye pūrva-vidhi ‘praśaṁsā’ chāḍiyā

para-vidhi ‘nindā’ kare ‘baliṣṭha’ jāniyā

pūrva-parayor madhye para-vidhir balavān

yāhāṅ guṇa śata āche, tāhā nā kare grahaṇa

guṇa-madhye chale kare doṣa-āropaṇa

(Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Antya Lila 8 / 76-79)

By the union of prākṛti and puruṣa this phenomenal world is created, so this should be treated as one svarūpa (homogeneous). So, accordingly, the nature and karma of others should not be appreciated or criticized.

In this śloka ‘para-svabhāva-karmāṇi’ the first injunction means ‘do not appreciate’ and the second injunction means ‘do not criticize’, these two are found. It is the rules of śāstra that always the second injunction is more powerful than the first injunction. So, it is clear that to appreciate someone is not so dangerous, but to criticize someone is definitely prohibited. Here in this śloka, it is indicated that Rāmacandra Purī can follow the first injunction of śāstra (he never praises anybody), whereas he is always busy to criticize others (the second injunction he is going to violate). In śāstra, such two dharmas are strictly prohibited (I mean to praise or to criticize somebody), but Rāmacandra Purī always busy with the second injunction. Where there is hundreds of good qualities in somebody, but he has such a dirty nature, that somehow he always try to find some faults with him. Also, we know the dirty nature of Rāmacandra Khan, he always wanted to bring some defame in the holy lifestyle of Śrīla Haridāsa Ṭhākura. But this was just like providing a fist of fury in the sky (or in the space).

Rāmacandra Purī became māyāvādi (impersonalist) and Rāmacandra Khan was completely destroyed. Gauḍīya Goṣṭhī Pati Śrī Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda Paramahamsa Jagad Guru said that “It is my advice to you all that do not try to find any faults with others, rather you try to find faults with yourself—to rectify yourself.” Also, very often he used to say that “Bonded souls—naturally they have some tendency to find faults with others.”

To clarify this point, sometimes Śrīla Prabhupāda used to say that “When Guru-Vaiṣṇavas out of their causeless mercy chide us to point out our faults, then this cannot be treated (or counted) as a fault-finding mission (or tendency), because if they do not try to rectify us by pointing out our faults, then how we can be saved?”

Really this is a matter of great regret, when somebody having ācārya veśa always try to attack (or criticize) other sādhus to protect his personal lābha-pūjā-pratiṣṭhā. We know a proverb going that a man living in a room made of glass, should not throw stones to others, because if by chance they throw stones towards him, then he can break his fragile room made of glass. But at present just the opposite meaning of the proverb is applicable, I mean, a man living in a room made of glass should go on throwing stones continuously to others, so that they cannot even get the chance to throw stones to him.

The inner meaning of the proverb is that—he who is having countless faults and defects in his life, should go on criticizing others, so that they cannot get any scope to point out his faults, that is the modern technique adopted by those antagonists (I mean those enemies of Śrī Gauḍīya Maṭha). They can continue their mispreaching to create confusion among common mass (or especially those who are newcomers in Gauḍīya bhajan field) about Śrī Gauḍīya Maṭha and Gauḍīya Maṭha sādhus to ensure their personal lābha-pūjā-pratiṣṭhā. Even they are ready to sacrifice the whole Sarasvatī Gauḍīya Sampradāya together with Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda and his genuine followers (our guru-varga).

Often, we forget or have never even heard of our most glorious previous Gauḍīya Guru-Varga who sacrificed their entire life for spreading the glory of the mission of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya. Had they not spent gallons of blood in the mission of Śrīmān Mahāprabhu, we ourselves would not be where we are today, basking in the rays of the effulgent sun of Lord Caitanya’s sankirtana movement. Let their memory and their achievements never be forgotten. All glories to Lord Caitanya’s devotees past, present, and future!

Ācārya Keśarī Śrī Śrīmad Bhakti Prajñāna Keśava Gosvāmī Mahārāja said that— “With a strong hope to get pratiṣṭhā by exhibiting our personal talent, if we never hesitate to identify our most favourable benefactors (or true well-wishers) previous ācāryas as ignorant and foolish, then in that case our children (our next generations) they also can call us ignorant, foolish or uncivilized (or brute) etc., what strange or surprise can be there in it?”

To support one false statement by somebody, he needs to take shelter of countless false statements to protect himself. Those who even cannot take shelter of general truth, how they can take shelter of the absolute truth? —that is the most vital question at present. Foolish world cannot understand this most basic point, then how they can get entry into hari-bhajan? If I accept one fallen soul and his activities as my idealism in my life, then what I can expect in my life?

As per historical evidence, civilization of Greece, Rome, Babylon, Misor, all were destroyed because of their loss of faith in their hereditical glories. So, also it is equally applicable in our bhajan field. When we can lose our faith in guru-paramparā (śrauta-panthā), then we can get lost, no doubt in it.

Absolute truth is such a thing which can never be suppressed, today or tomorrow—someday somehow—it will be exposed in front of public. Absolute truth is not such a cheap thing which can be stopped (or destroyed) by mass agitation, or by shouting loudly, or by manpower, or by money power, or by educational power, etc, or even not by strangling.

Modern generation—they are not at all ready to accept all your irrational comments or dictations, they always want scientific reply. Can you give scientific answer to all of your irrational comments to those sincere or conscious souls?

“So I have now issued orders that all my disciples should avoid all of my godbrothers. They should not have any dealings with them nor even correspondence, nor should they give them any of my books or should they purchase any of their books, neither should you visit any of their temples. Please avoid them.”

(Letter written by Svāmī Mahārāja to Visvakarma -  Nov 9, 1975)

“Regarding the Gaudiya Math books being circulated there, who is distributing? Who is sending these books? The Gaudiya Math does not sell our books, why we should sell their books. Who has introduced these books? Let me know. These books should not at all be circulated in our Society. Bhakti Vilas Tirtha is very much antagonistic to our society and he has no clear conception of devotional service. He is contaminated. Anyway, who has introduced these books? You say that you would read only one book if that was all that I had written, so you teach others to do like that. You have very good determination.”

(Letter written by Svāmī Mahārāja to Sukadeva -  Nov 14, 1973)

“Our big, big godbrothers in India, they could not preach Lord Gouranga's name all over India. They are simply inclined to criticize me, that my students call me Prabhupada. They could not do anything practical and tangible. They are satisfied with a temple and a few disciples begging alms for the maintenance of the temple.

So, we can understand that they have all become sudras. How can they have interest in Bhagavad Gita. Although some of them have been born in brahmana families, but by quality are all sudras.” 

(Letter written by Svāmī Mahārāja to Niranjana -  May 21, 1973)

“…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 broadcast the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

[…]

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.”

(Letter written by Svāmī Mahārāja to Rupanuga -  Apr 28, 1974)

At present those followers of Muslim dharma or Christian dharma or Buddha dharma or Jaina dharma—they are all feeling fed up or disgusted with their respective dharma and going to leave their respective dharma, to accept Sanātana-dharma. They like to get all scientific reply to their questions relating to their self-consciousness in true sense.
