BHAVA-GRAHI JANARDANA: THE SUPREME LORD, ACCEPTS BHAVA, THE ATTITUDE OF SERVICE

March 29, 2018 in Articles, Mahesh Raja by Yasoda nandana dasa

BHAVA-GRAHI JANARDANA: THE SUPREME LORD, ACCEPTS BHAVA, THE ATTITUDE OF SERVICE
Mahesvara das [Mahesh raja – UK]
68-03-03.     Letter: Hamsaduta, Himavati
   PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR VERY GOOD SERVICE, AND DO NOT FEEL ANY FEELING OF USELESSNESS. It is true that Krishna has given some the opportunity to serve Him by nice writing, some by good business ability, some by nice cooking, and so on, but these various services are all accepted equally by Krishna. ON THE TRANSCENDENTAL PLANE, ONE SERVICE IS AS GOOD AS ANOTHER. THERE IS NO QUESTION OF HIGHER OR LOWER. We are very tiny, and so we cannot really do very much. Simply we can engage our time and energy, and that is all Krishna sees. He sees this boy or girl is spending his time in My Service, and He is pleased. I hope you are both well.
SB 3.6.33 P       Creation of the Universal Form
   IT IS ACTUALLY BETTER TO BE A SUDRA THAN TO BE A BRAHMANA AND NOT DEVELOP THE SERVICE ATTITUDE, BECAUSE THAT ATTITUDE ALONE SATISFIES THE LORD. Every living being–even if he be a brahmana by qualification–must take to the transcendental service of the Lord. Both Bhagavad-gita and the Srimad-Bhagavatam support that this service attitude is the perfection of the living entity. A brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya or sudra can perfect his occupational duties only by rendering service unto the Lord. A brahmana is supposed to know this fact due to his perfection in Vedic wisdom. The other sections are supposed to follow the direction of the brahmana Vaisnava (one who is a brahmana by qualification and a Vaisnava by action). That will make the entire society perfect in regard to the order of its social construction. A disordered society cannot satisfy either the members of the society or the Lord. Even if one is not a perfect brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya or sudra but takes to the service of the Lord, not caring for the perfection of his social position, he becomes a perfect human being simply by developing the attitude of service to the Supreme Lord.
SB 4.30.28 P      The Activities of the Pracetas
   The form of the Lord known as arca-vigraha is an expansion of His unlimited potencies. When the Lord is gradually satisfied with the service of a devotee, in due course of time He accepts the devotee as one of His many unalloyed servants. By nature, the Lord is very compassionate; therefore the service of neophyte devotees is accepted by the Lord. As confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (9.26):

Rupanuga vada khandana – Part 2 A refutation of Rupanuga dasa’s intepretation of the October 18, 1977 conversation

October 7, 2017 in Mahesh Raja by Yasoda nandana dasa

Rupanuga vada khandana – Part 2 A refutation of Rupanuga dasa’s intepretation of the October 18, 1977 conversation by Mahesvara dasa (Mahesh raja) .

Mahesh Raja says:          
13. February 2016 at 3:36 pm
Rupanuga das: Srila Prabhupada said the following during his arrival address at the Los Angeles Temple on May 5, 1972:
“So, we have got this message from Krsna, from Caitanya Mahaprabhu, from the Six Goswamis; later on Bhaktivinode Thakur, Bhaktisiddhanta Thakur. And we are trying our bit to distribute this knowledge. Now tenth, eleventh, twelfth; my Guru Maharaj is the tenth from Caitanya Mahaprabhu, I am eleventh, you are twelfth.”
In the article, this last sentence was paraphrased from memory, but the meaning is still the same as Srila Prabhupada’s statement, which now becomes enhanced when taken in the context of his speech. He is obviously referring to his present disciples as the next in the disciplic succession he has just named and numbered, all of whom are directly initiating their own disciples.
Mahesh: this is just very CLEVER MANIPULATION from Rupanuga das to USE Srila Prabhupada’s words to make themselves as self-made gurus (Acaryas). This is BETRAYAL of Srila Prabhupada. They want to REPLACE Srila Prabhupada with THEMSELVES as Acaryas so that they go on with money screwing slavery making bogus conditioned soul (initiating “gurus”) business.

Exposing Gaudiya Math Twister

August 22, 2017 in Articles, Mahesh Raja by Yasoda nandana dasa

BY: MAHESH RAJA

My detailed rebuttal follows below the nonsense article penned by Sankarshana dasa who is also known as Bhakta Suria of Singapore. (He was hiding as Anonymous). He is exposed as Hypocrite Twister. In ALL his articles, you have to check what he has avoided to present or HOW he has TWISTED Srila Prabhupada’s quotes to back-up his Anti-Ritvik propaganda/Gaudiya matha following.

Just to give the reader a glimpse of exposing this twister’s cunningness please read:

We hear Suria was initially following bogus GBC voted ISKCON conditioned soul “guru”  Indradyumna Swami then the Twister changed game and instead joined Gaudiya Matha conditioned soul “guru” who gave him the name Sankarshana dasa.

The cheaters are always cheated from accepting Srila Prabhupada the BONAFIDE Diksha Guru.  This is just the fitting punishment. Instead of accepting the Ritvik system authorized by Srila Prabhupada they go for positions, power, money, prestige and are cheated. WHAT A COLOSSAL LOSS they do NOT get Srila Prabhupada as Diksha guru!!!!!! Therefore, they rot in the material world in the OCEAN of CONTINUOUS CYCLE of birth and death BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of YEARS imprisonment in 8,400,000 species of life forms. What a waste of human life form!

Firstly, Mahesh Raja is a fool. Srila Prabhupada wrote a letter dated 1967 (early days), to his western disciple, so he uses the word “birthday”. “We shall observe his birthday ceremony tomorrow and the brahmacharis shall learn how to celebrate spiritual master’s birthday.” From the statement Prabhupada indicated; “spiritual master’s birthday” which means Vyasa puja.  How can Mahesh Raja miss this? He is affected by envy and prejudiced which covered his consciousness.

Secondly Prabhupada did mention that Srila Sridhara Maharaj is a pure devotee and even a Siksa Guru for Prabhupada.

“This is B. R. Sridhara Maharaja, whom I consider to be even my siksaguru .

Letter to Hrishikesha, January 1, 1969

What Sripada Sridhara Maharaja has directed, I take it on my head. It is appropriate that I should accept his direction.

Letter to Govinda, September 12, 1969

I took his [Sridhara Maharaja] advises [sic], instructions, very seriously because from the very beginning I know he is a pure Vaishnava, a pure devotee, and I wanted to associate with him and I tried to help him also. Our relationship is very intimate. After the breakdown of the Gaudiya Matha, I wanted to organize another organization, making Sridhara Maharaja the head.

Srila Prabhupada was very clear, Srila Sridhara Maharaj is a pure devotee. This Mahesh Raja is envious, here is a scriptural quote to support my claims; “One should not be envious considering one preacher to be very great and another to be very lowly. This is a material distinction and has no place on the platform of spiritual activities.”

(Chaitanya-caritamrta Adi 10-7 purport)

Because he is overly sentimentally attached to one personality and his practices, he has developed hatred or lesser reverence to other Gurus and Vaishnava acharyas of other institutions. Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur confirms this; “A rule that is followed by one society is not necessarily accepted in another society. That is why one community is different from another. As a community gradually develops more respect for its own standards, it develops hatred towards other communities and considers their standards inferior.” (Intro to Sri Krishna Samhita, Thakur Bhaktivinode)

We should not be fooled or misled by such neophytes. We must go to a highly realized soul for guidance on scriptural conclusions. When neophytes mis-interpret such statements, he creates disturbance in society. Thank you.

Breakdown analysis of core points of Sankarshana das’s above argument:

“I took his [Sridhara Maharaja] advises [sic], instructions, very seriously because from the very beginning I know he is a pure Vaishnava, a pure devotee, and I wanted to associate with him and I tried to help him also. Our relationship is very intimate. After the breakdown of the Gaudiya Matha, I wanted to organize another organization, making Sridhara Maharaja the head.”
Conversations, March 17, 1973, Mayapur

1) He has CONVENIENTLY chosen IGNORE COMPELETELY the letter by Srila Prabhupada to Rupanuga against his God brothers which is DATED MUCH LATER April 28, 1974  than dates of the above statements. If the earlier dates were taken into account they can ONLY be used as DIPLOMACY – this was mentioned in my article –

Formalities

July 15, 2017 in Mahesh Raja by Yasoda nandana dasa

Mahesh Raja: Formalities

14. July 2017 by Prabhupada News
(by Mahesh Raja)

 — The formalities may be slightly changed here and there to make them Vaisnavas.
In his recent article, “Ravindra Svarupa’s Role in the Guru Reform Movement“, Rocana Prabhu wrote:
“It’s a fact, as Kurma dasa writes, that this system of voted-in gurus is nonsense. Of course, Kurma prabhu is trying to make out that Srila Prabhupada’s original program, which he thinks is synonymous with the current Rtvik system, should be put in place now. That’s where he and I have a different understanding. I don’t think you can introduce a system that has no verification in sastra.”
Since many of us support the July 9th 1977 ORDER of Ritvik System that Srila Prabhupada himself set-up AND NEVER RECINDED, I wish to respond to the above.

The Ritvik System is just FORMALITIES, so as per Srila Prabhupada’s instructions: “The formalities may be slightly changed here and there to make them Vaisnavas.”
It is being misconstrued as “introduce a new system”, BUT–FACTUALLY–it is ONLY FORMALITIES.
Lets study the following in terms of FORMALITIES:

Mahesh Raja [UK] re Some clarifications

March 2, 2017 in Articles, Mahesh Raja by Yasoda nandana dasa

Some clarifications:  February 27, 2017
1)July 9th 1977 is a letter addressed to To ALL G.B.C., and Temple Presidents

2) It is SPECIFIC on the TITLE of Ritviks: RITVIK–REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ACARYA
3) the specific duties are assigned: FOR THE PURPOSE OF PERFORMING INITIATIONS, BOTH FIRST INITIATION AND SECOND INITIATION
4) Specific instructions given to the Ritvik Representative of Acarya: ” HE NEWLY INITIATED DEVOTEES ARE DISCIPLES OF HIS DIVINE GRACE A.C. BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPAD…”,
5) There is NO INSTRUCTION EXCEPT the July 9th 1977 Ritvik Order for conducting 1st and 2nd initiations in the society. ONLY July 9th 1977 Ritvik Order is accepted as per Srila Prabhupada. No invention required.
5) We do not use the words “Ritvik Guru” because Srila Prabhupada has not used these words. BUT we DO use the SPECIFIC title RITVIK–REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ACARYA because that is the instruction to the letter July 9th 1977 addressed to To ALL G.B.C., and Temple Presidents.
6) Ritvik is REPRESENTING the Acarya so obviously that is VERY BIG responsibility REPRESENTING Srila Prabhupada. Ritvik CAN be an ADVANCED devotee giving SIKSA that confirms to our Diksa Guru Srila Prabhupada:

Srila Prabhupada’s Statements on the “Higher Thing”

August 23, 2016 in Articles, Mahesh Raja by Yasoda nandana dasa

Srila Prabhupada’s Statements on the “Higher Thing”
compiled by Mahesh Raja (UK)

Excerpts taken from Srimad-Bhagavatam, Nectar of Devotion, Chaitanya-charitamrita, Conversations & Letters, compiled by Mahesh das
The Gopi Bhava Club is as we know a group of senior leaders of ISKCON who took shelter of Narayana Maharaja and sought to infiltrate ISKCON with key members who secretly took siksa and disksa from Narayana Maharaja in the eighties and early nineties. Such as Bhurijan Dasa; who was the president of the Narayana Maharaja organization, and still held a position as an ISKCON guru and GBC member.
Initially they attempted to merge into ISKCON and influence it to accept Narayana Maharaja as the next Acharya and then when that failed they attempted to spilt with ISKCON. This was headed by Tamal Krsna Goswami who failed due to having his plan revealed by devotees and so lost impetus.
Presently the Gopi Bhava Club is working behind the scenes to merge the existing members of the Narayana Maharaja Camp into ISKCON when Narayana Maharaja finally leaves his body.
The history of this deviation needs to be carefully detailed so please provide your testimonies and any evidence in your possession so that this very serious deviation can be recorded for the sake of future posterity.

SRILA PRABHUPADA IS HIS DIVINE GRACE

June 14, 2016 in Mahesh Raja by Yasoda nandana dasa

SRILA PRABHUPADA IS HIS DIVINE GRACE
by Mahesh Raja UK

67-01-30: Brahmananda
One thing you may note also as a matter of etiquette. THE SPIRITUAL MASTER IS ADDRESSED AS HIS DIVINE GRACE, a Godbrother is addressed as His Grace, and any Sannyasin is addressed as HIS HOLINESS.

HIS DIVINE GRACE IS ALWAYS CONSULTING KRSNA

760714iv.ny
Bali-mardana: In other words, when you decide that someone is to be in charge of a particular temple does Krsna tell you that this person should be in charge.
Interviewer: Or do you by judging him say this person is qualified.
Prabhupada: YES, BECAUSE A DEVOTEE ALWAYS CONSULTS KRSNA AND HE GIVES ORDER.
Interviewer: IT’S A MORE DIRECT COMMUNICATION.
Prabhupada: YES. AND HE GIVES ORDER.
Ramesvara: Because intelligence, our philosophy is that intelligence comes from Krsna. So if I have some…
Interviewer: And your philosophy is that your daily necessities come from Krsna as well.
Ramesvara: Yes, try to understand. Suppose my intelligence sees that this person is qualified, that means Krsna has told me.
Prabhupada: NO, NOT NECESSARILY, KRSNA WILL TELL DIRECTLY. A DEVOTEE ALWAYS CONSULTS KRSNA AND KRSNA TELLS HIM, “DO LIKE THIS.” NOT FIGURATIVELY.
Interviewer: Does that apply then to other kinds of decisions and other kinds of activities as well?
Prabhupada: EVERYTHING. BECAUSE A DEVOTEE DOES NOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT CONSULTING KRSNA.

SRILA PRABHUPADA LIVING STILL IN SOUND!

June 8, 2016 in Mahesh Raja by Yasoda nandana dasa

SRILA PRABHUPADA OUR JAGAD DIKSA GURU:

LIVING STILL IN SOUND!
By Mahesh Raja [UK]


750716pc.sf Conversations
Reporter (2): What will happen to the movement in the United States when you die?
Prabhupada: I WILL NEVER DIE.
Devotees: Jaya! Hari bol! (laughter)
Prabhupada: I SHALL LIVE FROM MY BOOKS, AND YOU WILL UTILIZE.
Reporter (2): Are you training a successor?
Prabhupada: Yes, my Guru Maharaja is there. Where is my photo of Guru Maharaja? I think… Here is.


Srila Prabhupada
Srila Prabhupada
He reasons ill who tells
that Vaishnavas die
When thou are living
still in sound.
The Vaishnavas die to live
and living try to
Spread a holy life around!

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura
Prabhupada’s Guru Maharaja
Prabhupada: Although according to material vision His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada passed away from this material world on the last day of December, 1936, I still consider His Divine Grace to be always present with me by his vani, his words. There are two ways of association–by vani and by vapu. Vani means words, and vapu means physical presence. PHYSICAL PRESENCE IS SOMETIMES APPRECIABLE AND SOMETIMES NOT, BUT VANI CONTINUES TO EXIST ETERNALLY. THEREFORE WE MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE VANI, NOT THE PHYSICAL PRESENCE. Bhagavad-gita, for example, is the vani of Lord Krsna. Although Krsna was personally present five thousand years ago and is no longer physically present from the materialistic point of view, Bhagavad-gita continues.

Indian Lady: … is that spiritual master still guiding after death?
Srila Prabhupada: Yes, yes. Just like Krsna is guiding us, similarly spiritual master will guide us. (General lectures, 69/09/23)

Writing From The Transcendental Platform

June 6, 2016 in Mahesh Raja by Yasoda nandana dasa

Writing From The Transcendental Platform
Author: Mahesh dasa Dated: 03/05/2003


We Don’t Allow Any Literature Which Is Not Given By Liberated Soul

The difference between Srila Prabhupada’s books and other so-called gurus writing is Srila Prabhupada’s instruction was coming directly from Krsna. This is transcendental platform. Srila Prabhupada encouraged his disciples however, to write their realizations.
Note:His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada is always consulting Krsna

760714iv.ny
Bali-mardana: In other words, when you decide that someone is to be in charge of a particular temple does Krsna tell you that this person should be in charge.
Interviewer: Or do you by judging him say this person is qualified.
Prabhupada: yes, because a devotee always consults Krsna and He gives order.
Interviewer: it’s a more direct communication.
Prabhupada: yes. And He gives order.
Ramesvara: Because intelligence, our philosophy is that intelligence comes from Krsna. So if I have some…
Interviewer: And your philosophy is that your daily necessities come from Krsna as well.
Ramesvara: Yes, try to understand. Suppose my intelligence sees that this person is qualified, that means Krsna has told me.
Prabhupada: No, not necessarily, Krsna will tell directly. A devotee always consults Krsna and Krsna tells him, “do like this.” Not figuratively.
Interviewer: Does that apply then to other kinds of decisions and other kinds of activities as well?
Prabhupada: everything. Because a devotee does not do anything without consulting Krsna.

Note: His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada speaks as Krsna speaks.
Antya 5.71
One is forbidden to accept the guru, or spiritual master, as an ordinary human being (gurusu nara-matih). When Ramananda Raya spoke to Pradyumna Misra, Pradyumna Misra could understand that Ramananda Raya was not an ordinary human being. A spiritually advanced person who acts with authority, as the spiritual master, speaks as the Supreme Personality of Godhead dictates from within. Thus it is not he that is personally speaking. When a pure devotee or spiritual master speaks, what he says should be accepted as having been directly spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the parampara system.

Note: difference is Srila Prabhupada speaks what Krsna speaks and so-called gurus have to jog the brain to give answers.

The Prediction

June 4, 2016 in Mahesh Raja by Yasoda nandana dasa

BY: MAHESH RAJA[UK]


Srila Prabhupada’s Lecture on Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati’s Appearance Day, March 2, 1975, Atlanta:
So perhaps my Guru Maharaja, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, attempted to fulfill the desire of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And sometimes in the year 1918, he was brahmacari, and Bhaktivinoda Thakura, his material father, he wanted… Actually, he wanted, Bhaktivinoda Thakura… Of course, everyone wanted. But he wrote one small book, Teachings of Lord Caitanya, Teachings and Precepts of Lord Caitanya, in 1896. And he presented that book to the McGill University in Canada. And he very much desired that the foreigners, especially Americans, would join this movement. That was his desire in 1896.
And then, in 1918, my Guru Maharaja started with this mission one institution known as Gaudiya Math. Perhaps some of you know the name, Gaudiya Math. And he was trying to spread this message of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and by chance OR BY PREDICTION, AS YOU THINK, I WAS TAKEN TO BHAKTISIDDHANTA SARASVATI THAKURA BY ONE OF MY FRIENDS. I did not want to go there, but he forcibly took me there. Yes. And he ordered me that “You preach the cult of Caitanya Mahaprabhu in English language. This is very much essential.” So on the first meeting he told me like that. That was my first meeting with him. So at that time I was in favor of Gandhi’s movement. So I said that “We are not independent–subjugated. Who will hear about our message?” So Bhaktisidhanta Sarasvati Thakura refuted my argument. I was very much pleased. I had so many talks. But I was very much pleased to be defeated, that “This so-called nationalism or any ism, they are all temporary. Real need is the self-realization.”

Srila Prabhupada’s Arrival Talk, March 23, 1975, Mayapur:
Jayapataka: …you Srila Prabhupada. Only by your mercy you have brought us to this Krsna consciousness movement.
Prabhupada: Yes. I am simply messenger. Mercy is of Bhaktivinoda Thakura and Srila Prabhupada. BEFORE YOUR COMING THEY PREDICTED, THAT “SOMEBODY WILL BRING.” MAYBE THAT SOMEBODY I AM. (CHUCKLES) BHAKTIVINODA THAKURA PREDICTED. So anyway, Krsna has given us nice place. Stay here. So you producing food grains?
