[rakeshram]

No one can deny that Srila Prabhupada asked only Srila Narayan Maharaj and no one else to do his samadhi ceremony. Just think about that before talk about a person you obviously know nothing about. Meaning Srila Narayan Maharaj but also Srila Prabhupada.

[rakeshram]

The sweet relationship between these two has been smoothed out of the Prabhupada Lilamrta and false propaganda got people to believe as you do now. Fine by me. But no one can deny the hundreds (thousands if Satsvarupa Swami would not have accidently lost them) of letters Srila Prabhupada send Srila Narayan Maharaj while preaching in the West. . No one can deny that the first deities, mrdangas, katarals and different books were send by Srila Narayan Maharaj.

[rakeshram]

He never tried to fit in to his place, you must be confusing him for someone else. He took the dust from all the places Srila Prabhupada went and considered them holy tirthas. He came on the request of Srila Prabhupada as Srila Prabhupada asked him to look after his disciples. Srila Prabhupada wrote in a letter to Srila Narayan Maharaj that their relationship was eternal like the relationship with his own Guru Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada.

This man doen't fit in to the place of Srila Prabhupada..,He doesn't have that light in him...trust me. When Srila Prabhupada ,during the years of struggles to spread Krishna Consciousness in India including this man hid .and single handedly Srila Prabhupada fought with time and challenged them that since they at that time blindly following western culture he swear that he would go to west and spread Krishna Consciousness in west and soon these people would follow that happened.

@vkn128 When Srila Prabhupada as Abhay Caran was wondering Mathura trying to sell his medicine it was Srila Narayan Maharaj who took him to stay in Kesavji Gaudiya Math and told he had not come to this world for selling medicine. There he inspired him to accept sanyas from Srila Bhakti Pragyan Keshav Gosvami. Srila Narayan Maharaj made the danda, did the fire offering and gave Srila Prabhupada his sanyas clothes.

[rakeshram]

@vkn128 When Srila Prabhupada was staying in Radha Damodar Temple before coming to the west, Srila Narayan Maharaj used to visit him regularly and they would do kirtan together, roll chapati's together and share hari-katha which each other. Though as obvious as sunlight, the owl with huge eyes still does not see the sun rays.

Thank you for posting this :)

@21jivencool Well the disciples of Srila Prabhupada started to initiate without self-realization. Srila Prabhupada had ordered in his books to not initiate on their own behalf. Since Guru nowadays means lot's of Lakshmi, many did it anyway and all got destroyed by the sinful reactions they had to accept from their disciples. The argument is that HH Narayan Maharaja did not advise the unqualified ISKCON guru's to initiate on Srila Prabhupada's behalf(as Ritviks), as written on paper and signed!

Hare Krishna. =) Can anyone tell what is the problem(sorry for using this word) between ISKCON and H.H Narayana Swami? what seems to be the blazing fire that till now cant be extinguished?

@rakeshram CONTINUED : If a person is carried away by such achievements, then his devotional service becomes slackened. One should therefore strictly adhere to the principle of disciplic succesion." Srila Prabhupada Nector of Devotion p. 116 Edition 1982 "Devotional Qualities".

If Prabhupada ordered someone specific something else, so be it. In my understanding the basic order was : Ritvik. Prabhupada used the word in writing, signed by him, in taperecording and witnesses heard. Some did not.
