Understanding Jayadvaita Maharaj more

Click to download Bhakti Vikas Maharaj's answer to book change issue


Pls note that Harekrsna.com is one of the most foolish websites that is there on the "iskcon-internet".
No scholarly devotees is really happy in his heart to send articles there.
The trouble is that the website is very popular. So people make a deal with the devil and send their articles there.
If you collect photos from this site that is good.
If you collect some facts from this site that may be ok.
BUT dont collect any conclusions from this website.
The people whoever they are, are not fully honest nor are intelligent enough to know the philosophy.
I have read some articles they fully lack common sense.

example:
the http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/08-12/editorials8857.htm  article says,
"He refers to this act as an offering of his egotism in the form of his harmonica."
"His re-embracing of the harmonica is akin to his breaking the vow that led to his apparent initiation by Mother Ganges into the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. "
This is just connecting the dots and then reaching a vague conclusion just to defame somebody. Very silly. Very much not something that any respectable scholar would do. This will mark you as a biased fool.
I love this article it exposes many bad things. But these two lines and few others are illogical.
The man who is the main worker or you may say the soldier on the field, behind the whole Anti-Jayadvaita Maharaj deal is Ajit Krishna Das. His guru was the now dead, Indian guru Mahavishnu Swami, this guru was not that strict. He used to give 4 rounds initiations. AKD is not at all intelligent, in my scholarly yet humble opinion.

yes that rocana is good against ritvik. pls know that there are many people who are intelligent and can defeat mayavad in the form of Ritvikism. But this does not make them fully good devotees.
E.g. Ravindra Svarup is a good anti-ritvik person. But he is a full feminist FDG supporter.
Now there is politics involved.
let me tell u how...

Ritvik is the common enemy who every person in iskcon hates. Get up on stage and start blasting Ritviks. This gives you a lot of support and people see you as a nice pro-iskcon pure guy. People love you. You gain popularity.
Then such people have other agendas in the back pocket, waiting to be released.
E.g. Ajit Krishna Das is a great opponent of Krishna West. He has some personal interaction with HDG. So this AKDas came to me and my friends and posed himself as our friend and we loved him initially since he went from Norway to L.A under cover and reported all the deviant habits of Hridayananda Maharaj such as not chanting and calling devotees 'my slaves'. And then soon started giving his other ideas to us. Then he never spoke to us. He knew that me and my friends were anti-Krishna West. AND being Anti-Krishna West was the hot deal in iskcon. So he cashed in on the fame and he left his mark in our circles. He knows that me and my friends are pro-purity. So if by chance he is liked by us, etc he will get some support from iskcon people. That is why i am very careful of who is support. This may misguide poor devotees.
SO being anti-ritvik does not mean that a person is fully good. So these clever ppl like to ride the current issue and take the name and fame and then inject their other theories later when the 'primarily championed issue' is cooled.

(BVKS is a rare soul who is fully good, from all angles of the philosophy's application.)

Book Change

"divyaṁ dadāmi te cakṣuḥ" means "I give you divine eyes"
"paśya me yogam aiśvaram" means "Behold My mystic opulence"
Ask anyone knowing sanskrit that is what they will tell you.
In the opinions of whoever wrote that passage, "This is a whole new flamboyant twist to the meaning." This is that man's opinion. It is not an absolute opinion. This is name calling there is no scripture behind that.
Also this is not at all a harmful change and no change is harmful. The meaning has remained the same.

In iskcon, ppl hate JAS simply because he is an angry person, he never gives a damn about anyone, he is independent and and and he has powers over BBT which makes him more important then the GBC. Ppl think that he is arrogant. Actually he is a very down to earth devotee.
And feminist Govinda Dasi hates him because he and Dravida Prabhu and others stopped the "rape and other sexist" things from not being removed from the books.
And Govinda Dasi went on the campaign to hurt JAS and now she is a part of the whole Anti-JAS gang.

“I have dictated the missing purports from Chapter Nine and they are sent enclosed herewith. So far changing the wording of verse or purport of 12:12 discussed before, it may remain as it is.” (Letter to Jayadvaita dated 3-17-71).
If you have studied at least some mundane law you will know that 'may' implies also 'may not'.
In any case, as Hari Sauri Pr. points out that the English language will change in the next 150 years. This is contained in the BVKS answer to the book change issue. if the languages changes then the ppl wont understand like in UK here are so many new words in English that are not in the dictionary. One old but good example is 'cool' this was never in the english language.

Generic hatred towards male iskcon leaders

Any strict male figure is hated by the divorcee women in iskcon. Jayadvaita Maharaj is very strict on widow remarriage, brahmacharini ashram, etc. So he invites the hate of feminists unto him. That is the thing: A woman is abused in anyway that leaves a great mark in her mind then in future she associates an male figure with a authoritarian vibe to be her assailant of sorts

BVKS finished the argument in one line:

Has the philosophy changed? No.

Avoid all the "book change protesters". They are not at all good company. They are aparadhis. And when a person like me who calls Mrs. Vrinda Setha, Chapakalata Fiorentino, Prasanta Dasi, Vishakha Priya, Dina Sharan Dasi, Narayani Dasi, Urmila Dasi, Malati Dasi and others as prostitutes, calls some people as an aparadhi...you must understand that they really are aparadhis. Jayadvaita Maharaj as no contamination.

Conclusion: 

We already have many demons to deal with in iskcon. Why do we have to imagine that JAS is a bad person and then get on his case? He is not. We have enough real demons to deal with.
