Which Vyasa is being referred

Respected Swamiji and Vaisnavas,

   Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Please accept my respectful obeisances!

   In the Caitanya Caritamrta and Caitanya Bhagavata, it is said that Vyasadeva will elaborately describe the most sublime pastimes of Lord Nityananda and Lord Caitanya many times over. In all the purports it is said that the acaryas who come in the disciplic succession are all Vyasas.

  C.B. Purport by Sarasvati Prabhupada :

      The great sage Srila Vyasadeva has described innumerable pastimes of the Lord. Apart from the pastimes of Gaurasundara described in this book, His many other pastimes will be described by followers of Vedavyasa. Those who follow in the disciplic succession of Vyasadeva by narrating and compiling the pastimes of Lord Gaurasundara are also
known as Vyasa and sit on vyasasanas.

     The word varnibena is in the future tense. Seeing this usage, materialistic persons become doubtful about the existence of Vyasas, who are followers of the original Vedavyasa.

    So a similar statement is there in the Caitanya Caritamrta by Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

    My doubt is that will the same Vedavyasa who wrote the Srimad Bhagavatam, (the incarnation of the Lord) elaborate the pastimes in the future, or does Vyasa refer to the acaryas in the guru parampara who also describe the pastimes of the Lord or both?

    Vyasadeva still resides in Badarikashrama and in the next manvantara he is described as being one of the seven celestial sages. Right? And so I asked whether the same Vyasadeva will write a very elaborate description of the pastimes of Lord Gaurasundara in the future along with the other acaryas?

    Lord Gauranga has revealed something that was never revealed in the previous yugas or anytime else in this whole day of Brahma? Now that Lord Krishna and Lord Gaura have appeared, in the future (including other yugas from now), will this cause changes in the way the scriptures are realised by all great souls in the universe. I mean that when people will realise the Vedas in future yugas, will they all be directed towards the standard of devotion as set forth by Lord Caitanya?

 

Ignorant of the truth,

Srinath
