seeing through the eyes of scriptures

Dandavat pranams
Jaya Srila Prabhupada
One devotee called my while I was in the middle of completing my 64 rounds and complained about Radhanath Swami.This is not proper, why should I have to hear criticism of a devotee that meets with presidents like  President Obama, speaks to members of the British Parliament about KC. And who act and speaks pleasently in KC....
  So what about his past that he served under Kirtananda? That is all past, stop finding faults.Have you completed 64 rounds or even 16 rounds and you want to find faults in Radhanath Swami?.
Srila Rupa Goswami has stated:
kṛṣṇeti yasya giri taḿ manasādriyeta
dīkṣāsti cet praṇatibhiś ca bhajantam īśam
TRANSLATION
One should mentally honor the devotee who chants the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa, one should offer humble obeisances to the devotee who has undergone spiritual initiation [dīkṣā] and is engaged in worshiping the Deity, and one should with and faithfully serve that Pure devotee who is advanced in undeviated devotional service and whose heart is completely devoid of the propensity to criticize others.
When I visited New Vrindavana in 1991 the one one wearing vaisnava dress and tilaka was Radhanath Swami (and myself).
leave the past behind, and see the good Radhanath Swami is doing.
I wrote an article in defense of Radhanath Swami on Sampradaya Sun some years ago and Rocana das never wanted to hear from me again..that was a blessing because he also sees so many faults in my Gurudeva... 
  He gets criticized and scrutinized like everyone else so often does in ISKCON, but I want to be left out of such ISKCON faultfinding.I already sometimes chastise devotees when they harrass me, but I prefere to just focus on Radhanath ,Krsna.
on a lighter transcendental note
Actually Krsna is called Radhanath , but actually Narada Pancaratra states::
Radha hrt padma madhye ca
vasantam santam subham
Radha sahacaram sasvad
Radhajna paripalikam
Who stays in Radhas lotus heart, who is eternal ,who is supremely handsome, who is Radhas companion, and who always
obeys Radha
Radha Ajna is important here , it means He who carries out the orders of Radha.
So what Radhanath?
Stop saying Radhanath say Radha Ajna.But yes Krsna is Radhanath ,,Radha can not live for a moment without Krsna, but
faultfinding sincere vaisnavas like HH Radhanath Swami will only make one forget Radhanath and Sri Radhe.
