Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayan Maharaja Initiates the Modern Day Prakashananda Saraswati

Srila Gurudevas China Preaching Tour


After Gaura Purnima, on March 29th 2009, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayan Goswami Maharaja Srila Gurudeva left from New Delhi for Guanghouz, China. Before Srila Gurudeva left for his first world preaching tour in 1996, he made an oath to never, under any circumstance, give up his sannyasa robes. Krsna is bhakta-vatsala, ever affectionate to His devotees, so He protected Srila Gurudeva’s vow and, although it is forbidden, we were allowed entrance without changing out of our sannyasa robes by being classified as Indian monks.

Srila Gurudeva’s preaching in China has some special features. First, Srila Bhaktivedanta Svami Maharaja Srila Prabhupada spread Sriman Mahaprabhu’s message all over the world. Although he never personally traveled to mainland China, but to Hong Kong where he established an ISKCON center, by his unlimited mercy and by the causeless mercy of Srila Paramgurudeva OM Visnupada Srila Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja – Srila Gurudeva, in Indian sannyasa dress, engaged in extraordinary preaching in China. Another special feature of Gurudeva’s preaching in China was that Weng Sho Qin was finally able to receive harinama and diksa from Srila Gurudeva, which he had wanted for so long. Although Weng Sho Qin was being hospitalized, the doctor reluctantly allowed him to take the two and a half hour flight to meet Srila Gurudeva. Weng Sho Qin’s initiated name is Krsna-dasa. What is so special about this patient that he was able to compel the hospital to let him leave in such poor health?

Krsna-dasa is an extraordinarily famous Buddhist guru. He has forty thousand direct disciples, so he is
greatly honored by everyone, including the doctors. He has already constructed a beautiful mandira, with seventy rooms, and begun the process of registering it with the government. Buddhist gurus are very highly respected in China. Once Krsna-dasa completes the registration process, the Chinese government will lift the present ban against Indian monks in China, and Srila Gurudeva will personally install deities there. Srila Gurudeva has named the first Gaudiya Matha in China Sri Syama-brahma Mandira.
How wonderful was Srila Gurudeva’s preaching tour in China!

Only someone who has the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Sri Radha Krsna and the previous Acharyas can accomplish such a preaching feat. Srila Narayan Maharaja has now brought the modern day Prakashananda Saraswati into the Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya. Srila Narayan Maharaja has received the direct Mercy of Srimati Radhika who personally arranged for Him to receive Her Maha Prasadam from the rasa dance in Seva Kunja by telling the pujari in dream to bring it to Him, just like Sri Gopinathaji arranged for khira to go to Madhavendra Puri. Srila Narayan Maharaja brought Srila Prabhupada to external consciousness from ecstatic samadhi the way Sri Swarupa Damodara did to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Again and again the Supreme Lord and the previous Acharaya's are indicating by their mercy and the arrangement of his extraordinary pastimes who the most exalted personality amongst our present day Gaudiya Sampradaya actually is:
Vaishnava Sarvabhouma Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayan Goswami Maharaja Srila Gurudeva

Only the envious and the ignorant will refuse his association. Only those who are Kali Chelas will blaspheme Him. You should stay in whatever sanga or organization you are in and continue to serve there with love and affection and happiness. However you should offer all respect and honor to this great personality Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayan Goswami Maharaja Srila Gurudeava and never ever blaspheme him. Those who do are doing so at their own risk.

I the most unfortunate beggar at the lotus feet of the previous acharya's pray that all the vaishnava devotees will soon embrace in Vaishnava Prema as per the desire of Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura.

Aspiring to be the servant of the servant
B.V. Bhagavat Maharaja
