Re: Offender chanting Hare Krishna
Dear Mihir,
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! Please accept my respectful obeisances!
In my case too I had and still do face a lot of hidden opposition to the mantrarajas. It was a lot worse before and people want to know why I go and seek another sampradaya as they call it, assuming that I am leaving the sampradayas known to them.
My friends face far more difficulties and they are not even allowed to observe Ekadasi without going through hell and a lot of fights. The Lordships Nityananda Gauranga and their devotees and the Gaudiya Vaisnava sampradaya is practically unheard of in this part of the country and therefore they are vigourously opposed by the Smartas who hold that all demigods are one and spread all Mayavadi nonsense in these areas.
Some people don't want to accept it unless I show them a 5000 year old purana with the quotes rubber stamped as authoritative by whoever they think is an authority. This is a problem raised time and again and it has always been cleared, but people never learn and forget easily.
In case you want to know about fault finding, you can see my post on Vice of Fault finding posted sometime back. I had asked the same questions.
Anyhow I cannot tolerate it myself to see Vaisnavas being blashphemed by the Mayavadis. But always remember that it will not take more than an instant for the Lord to immediately put you above all those 'great' Mayavadi scholars and sectarianists and their thousands of followers proud of their learning and lineage. They are easily checkmated in no time if the Lord sees that they are spoiling the advancement of a devotee. Always have faith in the mantrarajas as you are.
Your servant,
Srinath
