All glories to Śrī Śrī Guru and Gauranga
Gauḍīya Goṣṭhī Pati Śrī Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda told that—“Only niṣkapaṭa guru-Vaiṣṇava sevā can give us bhakti siddhi”.
We can see that many so-called devotees coming in front of Sad Guru to take shelter there, but what is their actual motive behind their coming in front of Gurupadapadma–that is the main question.
Śrīla Prabhupāda used to say that— “After dīkṣā is over- if the activities of the disciple going to prove that actually he doesn’t need bhakti, then it is sure that he has some anyābhilāsa (unwanted desires) inside his heart.”
Those who want to proclaim that I am the disciple of such and such Sad Guru-Vaiṣṇava; be sure that they want just to use the name and fame of that Vaiṣṇava for their own enjoyment. Most of us want to utilize Gurupadma for our own sevā to get lābha, pūjā, pratiṣṭhā etc. Many of them coming to Gauḍīya Maṭha with the motive to enjoy taking prasādaṁ three or four times in a day very easily without any trouble and stay there very safely without any problem. Some of them coming with the motive to get honour and position in Gauḍīya Maṭha because of their material qualification.
Śrīla Prabhupāda used to say that – “From that time when all Māyāvadis started coming to Gauḍīya Maṭha in the uniform of devotees, then problem started”. According to their activities one can understand that they are not in the line of Gauḍīya paramparā. Now at present nobody going to play their head over this issue. At present nobody thinking about the purity of the paramparā, they only are interested with their own Society. To run Gauḍīya Maṭha by the kṛpā of our previous Gauḍīya guru-varga and to run a society is not the same.
At the time of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu those devotees they never thought it necessary to form a society to organize the sevā of their iṣṭha-deva smoothly, because all their center point was one and the same, none of them had any separate interest, so all of them automatically could find one absolute harmony among themselves in the way of their bhagavat-sevā. But at present even after society formation we cannot run our bhagavat- sevā smoothly because we are all isolated from each other due to our individual interest. Gauḍīya Goṣṭhī pati Śrī Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvati Gosvāmī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda told that—“All of you jointly together with mutual adjustment under the shelter of the same āśraya-vigraha try to do bhagavat-sevā.” But who is going to pay attention to his order?
Gauḍīya siddhānta vichar is so fine, so accurate that even demigods like Indra, Vāruṇa they cannot understand. Gauḍīya bhajan is not a cheap thing. In this fourteen planetary system nowhere you can get, except those who are in the line of Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvati Gosvāmī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda. Nowadays everybody like to make some compromise with pure devotional siddhānta vichar. Gauḍīya Maṭha means the achar and pracār shown by Śrī Gaurāṅga Mahāprabhu which is available through the perceptual channels of Śrīla Bhaktivinod Ṭhākura or Śrīla Prabhupāda Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvati Gosvāmī Ṭhākura. Śrīla Prabhupāda used to say that— “One platform speaker cannot be given honour as a pracārak (preacher), because they have no acharan at all. They cannot just prove that what they are speaking, they are following the same.
