"Now that I am without that person who sustains my life, the land of Vraja seems empty and desolate, Govardhana Hill appears like a great python, and Radha kunda appears like the gaping mouth of a tigress."

"Do not develop laziness on the pretext of performing solitary bhajana."
"It is more beneficial to cultivate fields and water plants for the service of the Vaisnavas than to inattentively pull beads hundreds of thousands of times. The result of serving the Vaisnavas is genuine taste for the holy name."
"Do not imitate the Vaisnavas, or you will burn to death. Pray to serve them without duplicity."
"An ordinary thief may some day attain auspiciousness, but a person who enjoys the wealth of Sri Guru and the Vaisnavas can never attain it."
"To serve under guidance is the highest virtuous conduct; independence is immorality."
"Artificial remembrance is not the way of the rupanugas, or followers of Srila Rupa Gosvami."
"Spontaneous remembrance by means of sri-namakirtana is the only aim of the Gaudiya Vaisnavas."

Leuke blog !
Mooi opgezet en de achtergrond-gedachte spreekt mij aan. Er leven vele vainavas in Nederland allemaal geïsoleerd op hen eigen eilandjes. Sectarisme is onze grootste vijand.
Ik mis nog een Nederlands discussie-forum waar op het heetst van de snede gediscussieerd kan worden over GV onderwerpen zonder dat we mekaar meteen aparadhi's gaan noemen of beledigd gaan lopen doen. Een volwassen discussie-forum waarin meningsverschillen worden gerespecteerd waar controverse evenwel niet uit de weg wordt gegaan. Siddhanta, institutionele problemen, programma's, twijfels over gurus, terug -en tegenslagen, opvoeding en sexualiteit. Alles moet in een sfeer van vrije meningsuiting, volwassenheid, rationaliteit en in het licht van vaisnavisme besproken kunnen worden zonder angst voor aparadha of excommunicatie.
Die openheid kan dan leiden tot duidelijkheid en verzoening. Verschillen over wie de sampradaya-acarya is, een maha-bhagavat guru, wanneer je naar lila-katha kan gaan luisteren, de val van de jiva, hoeveel rondjes op de mala, etcetera zullen altijd blijven bestaan. Echt. Maar laten we ons daardoor verdelen ?????
