Re: Question about a Book

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!
Dandavats and obeissances.

I would like to comment that this reply is in no way trying to take the place of the answer that is meant for Swami Gaurangapada give, I just wanted to share what I felt.

Personally I don't think the consciousness of car makers are going to be transferred to the person anywhere near as much as the consciousness of a Mayavada through reading his book or listening to him, especially when you can  blast devotional kirtans in your car. I guess you wouldn't be affected by a Mayavada if you only spoke the holy names loudly and didn't let him get a word in.  One actually needs a car and other such things in today's world. We  surely don't need to read or listen to Mayavada philosophy for any reason as it is not even close to  being necessary.

I think Mayavada association is the most dangerous of all, much more dangerous than even a regular foolish materialist. A materialist doesn't really make too much of an endeavor to minimize the form of God like a Mayavada does, who actually makes an effort. Of course we can be contaminated by any material association, through books, etc. That is why we should only do when absolutely necessary and have our mind focused on Nitai Gaura and the Vaisnavas at the same time. Just look as how Srila Swami Gaurangapada went to college and he remained like a lotus. This just takes a  level of intelligence and fortitude.

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna
Jagannatha Gauranga dasa
