20001021_Vrindavan Appearance Day Of Srila Sridhar Maharaja Explanation Of His Name and Srila Prabhupada T 1714 rla Gurudeva:

disciple has right to tell (address) his gurudeva (as) Prabhupda, no objection. But, other hand, all the disciples of rla Prabhupda has decided that we will not take this surname of rla Prabhupda; we have right reserved (this name) in rla Prabhupda. So, we will not do. But if a disciple of Svmji is telling Prabhupda or A.C.nothing to tell. They can tell it. But we can not do it. Why? Our Guru Mahrja was not satisfied that he was using A.C. Bhaktivednta. Gurudeva has given him what? Bhaktivednta Swami Mahrja; tridai Swami Bhaktivednta Swami Mahrja. So, all the godbrothers of Guru Mahrja, they have accepted this name. So, any of Prabhupda 's disciples they have not accepted him (as) A.C. Bhaktivednta because this is against the law. What Guru Mahrja has given name, it should be for whole life. So, ghastha name should not be done. And Prabhupda also they can not accept; but any iya can do it. I had a question, that why the disciples of Svarpa, Bhaktisvarpa Dmodara or Tamla Ka Mahrja, or any of the disciples (of Svmji), why they don't use their guru Prabhupda? Why? Can they do? They can take all (other names) but can they tell (Prabhupda)? If they are accepting this Prabhupda next day we can not see them, they are shooted. At once. They can not accept. So, I think that if we are not telling, but we have no objection that they are telling Prabhupda. But we have some theory and that is why we are not telling; but any iya can tell. So, we have no objection that you are telling Prabhupda. I tell you that you can tell. No harm. But don't give any pressure on us that, "You should also tell him." That will be very wrong. You should not do. Now I am coming to this point. I have no objection. We have no objection that anyone can tell him rdhar-dev Gosvm. Then a question may come, "Why you are not accepting this?" You should know that anyWhat Prabhupda has given name to param-pjyapda rdhar Mahrja. What name he has given? Devotee: rdhar Mahrja. rla Gurudeva: So, why you are not accepting this? Who has told it? Any of the godbrothers of rla Bhakti rdhar Mahrja has accepted and told him? Bhakti Dvaita Mdhava Gosvm Mahrja, Sroti Mahrja pjyapda, our Gurudeva, taking sannysa from him. Paramahasa

Mahrja, Bhakti Madhusdana Mahrja any one of the disciples of rla Prabhupda have they accepted this? And has he written himself? Then why we are not accepting authorities? Who has given this nickname to him? Who? Who has given this surname to him? Who? Can you tell? Then how (he has attained) this name? You should know the meaning of deva. Deva means budev brhmaas. Deva means grds grds you know? Govindadeva. He is Himself Ka playing with gops in so many ways with rmati, Yaod Maiy also, Dmodara ll and so many and in rsa and doing. So, Ka is the (indistinct). This meaning. param-pjyapda rdhar Mahrja (indistinct) with whom? Whom is (indistinct). No, we can (not) accept this. If deva means brhmaa then and anyone thinks that param-pjyapda rdhar Mahrja as Bhacrya, coming from Bhacrya and he was brhmaa and all were caste and dra and all others. This story is very, very dangerous. Against the law of vaiavism. (Hindi aside) because he was brhmaa (Hindi aside) Understand what I am going to tell? I am telling that, if anyone thinks that he was brhmaa, he was Bhacrya, and he was more superior than other vaiavas who were in low caste like katriya Narottama dsa hkura was katriya and Vivantha Cakravart hkura was brhmaa. So, Vivantha Cakravart hkura is more superior than Narottama dsa hkura. Oh, very dangerous! Offense! So, param-pjyapda rdhar Mahrja was brhmaa, high-cultured brhmaa, Bhacrya, and all are (indistinct) and that is why you should use Dev-Goswm so he will be superior. Very dangerous. Very dangerous. We should not think. Brajantha dsa: They are telling that, "Just like Gurudeva, rdhar-dev it is the same." rla Gurudeva: If they are in good way, we have no objection; they can tell. We have no But what our Guru Mahrja, what the others, and what Prabhupda has given name it is (indistinct) and sufficient more than anything. So, if anyone telling, I have no (objection), they should speak.

I am not going to minimize him. But if I am telling that rdhar-dev Goswm due to brhmaism then we are Question is that who has put this name. Who put? Any authority has done? Or any unqualified person or who has kept this name? (Hindi aside) You will have to understand in this way. Our (unknown) you know? He tells: paramahasa (unknown)nitya-ll-pravia o viupda And so many more, I don't remember. About more than 15 he tells. But he does not know. He is a boy. (Hindi aside) If anyone telling (unknown) tridai svm what is the meaning? tridai svm how he can be (unknown) of paramahasa? How it is? Quite opposite; and if nitya-ll-pravia then how he can be paramahasa (unknown)? In one adjective nitya-ll-pravia it is more than anyone what we are telling. Devotee: Only nitya-ll-praviais enough rla Gurudeva: nitya-ll-pravia means he is with Rdh-Ka serving. Any paramahasa can be equal to that nitya-ll-pravia? Never. But (unknown) they can not reconcile all these things. So, they think that, "Oh, (Hindi aside) " So, I think that if any authority has done, very good. And if his motive is good, that jagatguru may be called deva, no harm. But what is the mood? And who has given this? So, if it is given by any authority, like rla Prabhupda, or the devotees of rla Prabhupda, gladly we can accept, no harm. And if anyone doing no harm, we don't want to disturb them. Now, time is over. Anyhow, if anyone telling deva we will respect (him). We have no objection. But I can not tell, knowing all these things. So, today Gaura premnande!

Hari hari bol! If anything to discuss you can discuss; but I have no bad motive against param-pjyapda rdhar Mahrja. He is my so much honorable and he is sannysa Guru of my Gurudeva. I have so much respect. My Gurudeva has respect a disciple how he can minimize him? Never. Never. So, if anyone thinking that I am minimizing I want to tell him, "Don't take my offense, be very merciful to me." Gaura premnande! Hari hari bol! krtana (END AUDIO)
