wrong advice from the GBC

[Paramananda das]

wrong advice from the GBC


After the fall of Harikesa I got reinitiated by Srila Narayana Maharaja


and the GBC was advising I go with my old ISKCON name Payonidhi das , this was illegitimate advise as Krsna Bhajanamrta says one should take initiation from a bonafide Guru, the only person that came to mind what Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja, Srila PRamoda Puri Maharaja and Bhaktivaidhava Puri Maharaja that all chanted 64 rounds daily , they were not in ISKCON but in Gaudiya math, two of them were disciples of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada , but I went with Srila Narayana Maharaja that I knew well.One is not supposed to take Diksa from a Guru that is not chanting minimum 64 rounds daily and one should be chanting this much one self as a minimum standard ,this is the Guru Parampara from Lord Caitanya ,and the standard set by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada ..


gauranga shrimukhe rupe kahila vaishnave;


laksha nama sankhya kari avasya karibe.


"Lord Gauranga gave the following instructions to all the Vaishnavas Himself and also through Shrila Rupa Goswami: Please compulsorily chant 100,000 names of Krishna daily
