Preaching in Pietermaritzburg

Recently many devotees from our
Gaudiya Vaishnava family here
in Pietermaritzburg contacted
me regarding some defamatory
remarks made by one of their leaders
about my Beloved Srila Gurudeva
Sri Srimad Paramhamsa Srila Bhaktivedanta
Narayana Gosvami Maharaja at their Sri
Radhastami celebrations in Pietermaritzburg.

The feelings of these innocent Vaishnava`s
were hurt as many of them are taking Siksha
from my Beloved Srila Gurudeva.They said the
remarks were uncalled for especially in a
public forum where Hari Katha is being discussed
and also many new people may have come for
the very first time.We are living in the "New
South Africa" where we were brought up during
the apartheid times to hate other races,religions
cast and creed,it seems some in the disguise of
being Vaishnava`s have not changed in their attitudes.
So much for peace,when we Gaudiya Vaishnava`s have
the Highset philosophy of God and are meant to be
preaching Love and Affection but instead is sowing
the seed of hate albeit be it for their own kind.

It seems from these Hate speeches,Krsna Consciousness
needs to be spread more in South Africa,also there is
another sect of so called Vaishnva`s that are being
critical to Srila Bhaktisidhanta Sarasvati Thakur here
in Pietermaritzburg by stating that he took Sanyassa
from the picture of Srila Gaura Kishore das Babaji Maharaja.
My appeal to all these devotees to please stop being
critical to 1)My Beloved Spiritual Master Srila Bhaktivedanta
Narayana Gosvami Maharaja and look at his contribution
to our Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya.

For an example my Beloved Srila Gurudeva.defended
our Sampradaya from the Apasamradya`s this can
be evidenced from his book called the 5 essential
essays,where my Beloved Srila Gurudeva quotes from
Shastra regarding statements which if not corrected
would have brought discredit to our Sampradaya.
Also not only did he defend our Sampradaya but
also the International Society for Krsna Consciousness
founded by His Divine Grace Sri Srimad Srila Bhaktivedana
Swami Prabhupada the foremost preacher of Krsna Consciousness
in the western worlds,when Srila Prabhupada`s son took
ISKCON to court and claimed that his fathers(Srila Prabhupada)
temples and his achievements belonged to him as his father(Srila
Prabhupada) was not a sanyassi but a business man.This court
action was in the Bombay High Court.The Governing Body Commission
(GBC)enlisted the assistance of my Beloved Srila Gurudeva Sri Srimad
Paramhamsa Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja,and my beloved
Holy Master gave shastric evdence to the Honourable Judge that how Srila
Prabhupada was a Sanyassi and that he personally performed the Yajna
for the Sanyassa initiation.Therafter the Honourable Judge ruled
based on My Beloved Srila Gurudeva`s evidence that Srila Prabhupada
was in fact a Real Sanyassi and not a business man,and that he had
no claim to ISKCON or it`s assets,imagine what would have happened
if this evidence was not given,also My Beloved Srila Gurudveva`s health
was not good at that time and he spent many hours in the court.

Then Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saravati Thakur,such a great link
in our Parampara,Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur
empowered so many great souls,Like Srila Prabhupada,My
Param Gurudeva Nitya Lila Paramhamsa Srila Bhakti Prajnana
Gosvami Maharaja(The sanyassa Gurudeva of Srila Prabhupada),
Nitya Lila Paramhamsa Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Gosvami
Maharaja,Nitya Lila Paramhamsa Srila Bhakti Pramode Puri Maharaja
and so many others.Had it not being for Srila Bhaktisiddhanta
Saraswati Thakur the world would be devoid of Krsna Consciousness.

So my appeal is lets all work together for spreading
Our most Merciful Gauranga Mahaprabhu`s Sankirtan Movement
and please his pure representatives.
Sri Guru Varga Ki Jai!
