| Srila Gaura Kishora das Babaji Maharaj used to like to sing the following verse: Nitai Gaura
Krishna Prema Radhe Radhe, Nitai Gaura Krishna Prema Radhe Radhe, for by receiving
Nitai's mercy one can receive Gauranga's mercy.By Gauranga's mercy, one is eligible for
Krishna prema, and receiving Krishna prema, one can attain the association of the gopis
and Srimati Radharani.Once one enters Gaura lila, he soon receives Krishna prema.By receiving His mercy one is assured of reaching the desired
goal.YOffset + innerHeight : document.Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Jayatah
Why do we need a World Vaisnava Association?Why do we need a World Vaisnava Association?We must all try to fulfill the prediction of Sriman Mahaprabhu, which
is that His Holy Name will be chanted in every town and village throughout
the world.Different rasas and expansions of the Lord are all accomodated within
the broad view of pure devotees.We need the identity of a Vaisnava to go beyond the affiliation to
a particular institution.Srila Bhaktipramoda Puri Maharaj and many
others.Tirthas must be held sacred
by everyone who shares this happy faith in the Lord and His devotees.We need to know more about each others' capacities and to prepare answers
for the problems of a confused, developing world.Vaisnavas
have to carefully research their own resources and subsequently propose
Vaisnava solutions to those problems in order to be taken seriously by
the world at large.WVA GOALS AND EXPECTATIONS FURTHER EXPLAINED
How can we reach every town and village with Mahaprabhu's message?If we desire that the Holy Name be chanted
everywhere, we will need countless Gurus guiding countless disciples in
their spiritual life.Acarya, whose relative
position may be that of a godbrother.New choices have to be made concerning
how a mission shall run after the Acarya disappears.Secondly, he may not have the same drive or capacity as his Guru
had, and thus, his failure to maintain things will go to his discredit,
what to speak of expanding the mission.All the disciples
of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur were taken by surprise to see
one of their godbrothers, Abhay Babu, Srila A.Therefore, the WVA cannot exclude
from membership anyone just on the basis of a dispute he has with some
other member.Let us not forget that many problems are recurrent
and have already been addressed by some previous Acarya.But other problems
are new, arising from technological developments in the modern world and
growing Vaisnava communities.This is all a very happy situation.Depending on Krishna's descent to enlighten us on
this path, we have no doubt that the WVA will provide some help in this
regard.But we have faith in our Acarya's words and in our Yuga Avatar Sri Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu.Acaryas of the other sampradayas.On a mission by mission basis, the
senior members of the WVA will study if such groups and their work will
actually benefit the goals of the WVA.Nevertheless, all will benefit by
the chance to associate with qualified devotees from around the world through
the WVA Melas and publications.Mahaprabhu, it
will be the duty of senior Vaisnavas to study the eligibility of anyone
wishing to expose his own views through the channels of the WVA.Such studies
will naturally be reported in the WVA publications, so that all members
may participate to safeguard the highest purity for this noble cause.This man can build a house in which the whole world can live peacefully.No limitations
due to caste, color or creed, age or sex.He asked
his disciples to unite all Vaisnavas.He declared in his last days in this
world that all misgivings with the Gaudiya Math were over and that he desired
all to cooperate with each other.He had left the Gaudiya Math and had become successful
by his spiritual masters grace, but he regretted any bad feelings amongst
his disciples and the Gaudiya Math.But we should never become too proud or arrogant because we have our
great Guru.Sannyasis
of western origin have not had such a service record.And Iskcon has lost
so many senior devotees who today are connected with other Vaisnavas in
the Gaudiya line and continue preaching.The members of some missions even struggle
to fully comprehend the meaning of being connected to the family of Vaisnavas
through their own branch of the Chaitanya tree.Many Vaisnavas feel uncomfortable
with such limited conceptions and are trying hard to penetrate the institutional
darkness to go deeper and to reassure their own inspirational connection
with the Chaitanya tree.Every great Vaisnava institution ought to recognize
their sincere efforts and appreciate how large the membership of sincere
Vaisnavas is outside and in between of some of the traditional institutions.Such an association is more symbolic in the sense of institutional connection,
because it offers members the opportunity to associate as much as they
desire.Everything is voluntary and based on sharing with others what has
been revealed to us.Vaisnava
as president, is a formality required to legally function as an entity.Vaisnava, Parama Pujyapada Srila B.Since there are distinct differences between the teachings of
the Acaryas, we can only go as far as to apply the same philosophy which
our Supreme Lord and Savior in the present age has given to us.Unity, no doubt is there in our theistic
world view, and difference is there in the variety of divine plans of the
one Supreme Lord.And there are
other Vaikuntha planets with unlimited varieties of Aisvarya feelings and
relationships.We follow the
Mahajanas and thus the WVA lets all the members reveal their particular
feelings and revelations they have received from their Acaryas or particular
Gurus and Group leaders.We do not think that someone, upon meeting a devotee of Lord Narasingha
deva has to leave his service to the Pancha Tattva, but neither can we
conceive of a gopi meeting Lord Visnu and ignoring his presence.It is this mission of the WVA, where we really need each other, because
neither of us could accomplish this service alone.This quote really says enough to understand the high expectation coming
towards each one of us.How can we become free from all this party spirit?That is one big challenge
we all face in order to start the WVA with full strength.And his other desire was that
we all work together jointly to preach.Either we will try to accomplish
it, or it will be done in the future by other Vaisnavas.Prabhu or didi is missing in the spirit of the WVA, we will not really have
accomplished Srila Jiva Goswami's goal.Let the whole
world know of this.That should not be intruded upon.It is complex, because
there is the Guru as the inspired representative of Krishna, the Guru as
the servant of his Guru, the godbrother of his godbrothers and then there's
the personal aspect of his Vaisnava life.To bring all of these together
symphonically is quite a challenge, if not impossible.God brothers of the Guru should not be expected to subsist under pressure
to favor such a relationship.Precisely what all of our Gurus have preached and what history
has shown.Now, years later, we see that they were quite
empowered to create great missions, while those who stayed with the previously,
established Maths did have to live with many oppositions from within.Everybody must be happily accomodated within the mission of his Guru.Never expect anything from anyone if he's not able to do it or if he
doesn't offer to do it voluntarily.The Identity of any Vaisnava as servant of his Guru and of the Sampradaya,
free of restrictions put on by someone he may not have faith in, is a necessity
for an inspired life in Krishna Consciousness.The WVA provides such an
identity, because it accepts all those who participate in the noble task
of saving others, be it as initiating Acaryas, or as humble servants of
any Vaisnava or Vaisnava mission.And it does not
take much to accomplish that.The WVA is already existing with its offices
in Vamsivat, Vrndavan (from where Krishna plays his flute to call all the
gopis) and it holds two meeting per year in which senior Vaisnavas encourage
all visiting devotees to participate.THE HOLY PLACES MUST BE PROTECTED
Holy places and festivals play an essential role in every Acarya's
mission.What sweet memories come to
us when we recall how our Gurudeva united all of us!!Previous feelings
are very hard to find.Depending who gives the class, a group
of devotees withdraw.Every
moment something wrong is discovered.In one way or another such things take place in every mission.No more personal misuse of Tirthas, no faulty regulations or unfriendliness
from one group to another.PROMOTING VAISNAVA RELIEF WORK
This proposed goal of the WVA is very broad and general.It gives us
the chance to penetrate the world with Vaisnava creativity in all fields
like art, business, communications, sciences etc.Already many devotees
are taking part in ecological efforts and social concerns.Any mathematical
discovery is immediately made available to other scientists around the
world.We have an unlimited field which until now we have not made good
use of.Since preaching is the revolutionary plan of Sriman Mahaprabhu,
we will see how He will act through each and every one of us.The basic
ingredient of that networking is information, and then again more information.Our Acaryas have brought us divine love.Do they promote a unified loving
mood amongst Vaisnavas in general?Hoping this meets you in good health.Awaiting your
quick reply.This video has been added to your favorites.This video will appear on your blog shortly.Thank you for sharing your concerns.In order to process a privacy complaint we need more information from you.Please refer to our Help Center for more information and the form to submit.Thank you for sharing this video!The phrase 'Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Jayatah!Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Jayatah!Mauritius gracing us with
