comment : : "He said that at that point Srila Prabhupada said, ‘Then just find a nice boy, stay with him and practice Krsna consciousness.’
This is a total fabrication ,and I wonder why Tripurari Swami would believe in this nonsense?
I prefere to see the good in Radhanath Swami and Tripurari Swami....but these are some points.I do not know who reinitiates who. ISKCON Gurus has reinitated initiated disciples of Narayana Maharaja.And ISKCON claims he reinitiated some , for example most take offence to Jadurani being Shyamarani , though it was a nick name.Andthough I took reinitiation from Narayana Maharaja I never condoned her changing her name.She also promotes there is no Kalki avatara in the end of this Kali yuga. And some find faults:
Well then ISKCON has promoted false Gurus like Bhavananda das that sexually molested many children, so Ananta Vasudev and Bhavananda does not define the actual character of Srila Sridhara Swami or Srila Prabhupada or any members in ISKCON and Gaudiya math. Gaudiya math and ISKCON should be seen as brothers.Just like Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada reached out to the Madhava Sampradaya calling them brothers.
http://gosai.com/writings/a-word-to-our-madhva-brethren Srila Prabhupada writes in Bhagavad Gita 15 chapter one should find a society of Krsna conscious persons to associate with ,he did not say only ISKCON.This is significant.There is neophyte sannyasis in ISKCON that preach that ISKCON will take over the world.However Srila Prabhupada for example in a convrsation with George Harrison states this is not possible, but if a few persons can become KC ,the more the better then this can gradually change the world for something better...In Australia Srila Prabhupada told one mataji also that ISKCON is not meant for ruling the world this is not our business (we can not even properly maintain the temples what to speak of the world) we are brahmins meant to give spiritual advise.
Anyway this taking over the world is used to make young brahmacaries sell more books, and old trick used by Danavir and Bhkati Vikas Swami to this day, well if it makes more books being distributed? But keeping and teaching such ignorance will lead such blind followers frustrated as the whole world is not becoming KC ....and every member in ISKCON is not even ready to distribute Srila Prabhupadas books 5 days a week and do constant Harinamas so this is all just business dealings and Putana tattva teachings/
Anyway I prefere Tripurari Swami a million times to mayavadis and demigod worshippers that has previously been allowed to speak at ISKCON .Tripurari Swami is not an enemy ,he tries his best to teach bhakti and should be respected.
When I exposed demigod worship in ISKCON Potomac in 1995 , I was asked to leave the temple, I stayed with some disciples of Tripurari Swami for 3 months, and one day I talked with Sesa who asked if I had joined ,Tripurari Swami, I should have said yes because Tripurari Swami never allows mayavadis to preach in the temple room like Sesa and Anuttama and others allowed.....Srila Sridhara Swami and Srila Prabhupada was close they should be seen as god brothers ...Gaudiya math is not the enemy maybe an uncontrolled mind is????
Solution? Chant Hare Krishna and go back home fo Godhead.
your humble servant
Paramananda das
PS By the way the GBC asked Srila Sridhara Swami for some advise after Prabhupada passed away, so later he was blamed also for the opulent worship and uncontrolled power of the 11 Gurus, that even made their godbrothers worship them....he had nothing to do with this at all ...
I like to humbly advise the readers of this to the holy words of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada:
He is strongly warning:
The church that has the best chance of survival in this damned world is that of atheism under the convenient guise of theism. The churches have always proved the staunchest upholders of the grossest form of worldliness from which even the worst of non-ecclesiastical criminals are found to recoil.
It is not from any deliberate opposition to the ordained clergy that these observations are made. The original purpose of the established churches of the world may not always be objectionable. But no stable religious arrangement for instructing the masses has yet been successful. The Supreme Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, in pursuance of the teachings of the scriptures enjoins all absence of conventionalism for the teachers of the eternal religion. It does not follow that the mechanical adoption of the unconventional life by any person will make him a fit teacher of religion. Regulation is necessary for controlling the inherent worldliness of conditional souls.
But no mechanical regulation has any value, even for such a purpose. The bona-fide teacher of religion is neither any product of nor the favourer of, any mechanical system. In his hands no system has likewise, the chance of degenerating into a lifeless arrangement
. The mere pursuit of fixed doctrines and fixed liturgies cannot hold a person to the true spirit of doctrine or liturgy.
The idea of an organised church in an intelligible form, indeed, marks the close of the living spiritual movement. The great ecclesiastical establishments are the dikes and the dams to retain the current that cannot be held by any such contrivances. They, indeed, indicate a desire on the part of the masses to exploit a spiritual movement for their own purpose.
They also unmistakably indicate the end of the absolute and unconventional guidance of the bona-fide spiritual teacher. The people of this world understand preventive systems, they have no idea at all of the unprevented positive eternal life. Neither can there be any earthy contrivance for the permanent preservation of the life eternal on this mundane plane on the popular scale.
