Guru - To Be or Not To Be 

BY: H.H. BHAKTI VIKASA SWAMI 

Jan 29, 2013 —  INDIA (SUN) —

Sattvic Prabhu has quoted from Srila Prabhupada's purport to Cc Madhya  7.130: 

"One should not try to be an artificially  advanced devotee, thinking, "I am a first-class devotee." Such thinking should  be avoided. It is best not to accept any disciples."

 

 

In the present edition of the Vedabase, this has  been changed to: 

"One should not try to be an artificially  advanced devotee, thinking "I am a first-class devotee, so it is best not to  accept any disciples." Such thinking should be avoided."

This change is based on the Anubhasya, the  commentary by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati, from which Srila Prabhupada was  translating. Following are images of the relevant section of Anubhasya, for the  benefit of those who can read Bengali. 

I have seen the original transcript of Srila Prabhupada's dictation of this section of his commentary, and it is clear that  the editors at that time mistakenly rendered this part as it was first  published. It is unsurprising that errors like this were made in the marathon to  publish eighteen books in two months. This has now been corrected. The original  transcript is with the Bhaktivedanta Archives. 

I plan to gradually respond, probably starting  next week, to other points made by Sattvic Prabhu. 

Hare Krsna.

SUCH rascaldom  Srila Prabhupadas books are very clear:

 

Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta Madhya 7.130

ei mata yāńra ghare kare prabhu bhikṣā

sei aiche kahe, tāńre karāya ei śikṣā

SYNONYMS

ei mata — in this way; yāńra — of whom; ghare — at the home; kare — does; prabhu — Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; bhikṣā — accepting prasādam; sei — that man; aiche — similarly; kahe — says; tāńre — unto him; karāya — does; ei — this; śikṣā — enlightenment.

TRANSLATION

At whosever house Śrī Caitanya accepted His alms by taking prasādam, He would convert the dwellers to His sańkīrtana movement and advise them just as He advised the brāhmaṇa named Kūrma.

PURPORT

The cult of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is explained here very nicely. One who surrenders to Him and is ready to follow Him with heart and soul does not need to change his location. Nor is it necessary for one to change his status. One may remain a householder, a medical practitioner, an engineer or whatever. It doesn't matter. One only has to follow the instruction of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra and instruct relatives and friends in the teachings of the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. One has to learn humility and meekness at home, following the instructions of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and in that way one's life will be spiritually successful. One should not try to be an artificially advanced devotee, thinking, "I am a first-class devotee." Such thinking should be avoided. It is best not to accept any disciples. One has to become purified at home by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra and preaching the principles enunciated by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Thus one can become a spiritual master and be freed from the contamination of material life.

There are many sahajiyās who decry the activities of the six Gosvāmīs — Śrīla Rūpa, Sanātana, Raghunātha dāsa, Bhaṭṭa Raghunātha, Jīva and Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmīs — who are the personal associates of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and who enlightened society by writing books on devotional service. Similarly, Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura and other great ācāryas like Madhvācārya, Rāmānujācārya and others accepted many thousands of disciples to induce them to render devotional service. However, there is a class of sahajiyās who think that these activities are opposed to the principles of devotional service. Indeed, they consider such activities simply another phase of materialism. Thus opposing the principles of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, they commit offenses at His lotus feet. They should better consider His instructions and, instead of seeking to be considered humble and meek, should refrain from criticizing the followers of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu who engage in preaching. To protect His preachers, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given much clear advice in these verses of Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta.

 

 

Bhakti Vikas Swami wants everyone to be his disciples so he disagrees with Srila Prabhupadas purport and state Srila Prabhupada made a mistake this is his rascaldom. He also insisted I be his disciple and reinitiate though I am initiated by an uttama adhikari ,Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja.I asked Bhakti Vikas Swami do you chant even 64 rounds ? Then how can you ask to be my diksa Guru? Of course his assumption I would give up my diksa from Narayana Maharaja to take reinitiation from him is his huge ahankara. It shows he has no vaisnava behavior and is a snot nose neophyte.Yes I do not think he should be a Guru he can not deliver any of his disciples he is a neophyte.As as all ISKCON Gurus and none of them are fit to initiate anyone or take anyone back to Godhead all are fallen...it is better to be even an appasiddhatic  ritvik even that follow such blind persons like BVK Swami ....he is a kanistha adhikari and so is all his disciples ...

 

 I have seen the bad behavior of many of his disciples , I am not impressed with him and hope Krsna will spare me from his bad association.If Krsna is merciful I will never see the face of this rascal again.

 Yesterday I wrote something strong because BVKS had suggest I give up my diksa from Narayana Maharaja and take re initiation from him.

I think he might have thought it was ok , though against all vaisnava etiquette .However I do like BVKS though I do not agree with all his preaching,

but things like this is important:
