Please accept my humble obaisences
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Narayana Maharaja gave me the name Paramananda das when Harikesa fell down.
It is stated:
avaineavopadinoena
mantreea nirayah vrajet
punas ca vidhina samyag
grahayed vaineavad guroh
avaineava-nondevotee; upadinoena- instructed; mantreea-with a mantra; nirayah-hell; vrajet-goes; punas-again; ca-and; vidhina-according to the regulative principles of the scriptures; samyag-completely; grahayed-accept; vaineavad-a vaineava; guroh-guru.
“One who is initiated into a mantra by a non-Vaisnava must go to hell. Therefore he should again be initiated properly, according to the prescribed method, by a Vaisnava guru.” (Narada Pancaratra)
That Narayana Maharaja gave Jadurani the nick name Shyamarani and she choose to use this nickname over the Initiated name given by Srila Prabhupada , I did no agree with .
I distanced my self from Narayana Maharaja math and some teachings I did not agree with , but overall he was a qualified diksa Guru
so to reject the initiation given by him is not proper vaisnava etiquette.
your servant
Paramananda das
