Rupanuga das vs Jayadvaita swami



[PADA: Thanks Rupanuga das. You are correct, the samsara prayers would only apply to the person described in the samsara prayers. Right! Its amazing some people are even arguing about this after all the spectacular tail spins of the bogus "nikunja yuno" clown show. 

Since you agree that everyone should sing this song to Srila Prabhupada -- both now and the future -- it seems you are agreeing with us that he is the current source of divyam jnanam which destroys sins (aka diksha) for ISKCON. 

And furthermore, for the GBC to be promoting Jayadvaita swami as their main writer / spokesman / editor, knowing he is against ISKCON people chanting pranams to Srila Prabhupada, this would seem to indicate that you are with us and not the GBC / Jayadvaita crew on this issue as well?  ys pd] 


THIS IS THE PRABHUPADA SONG

From Rupanuga Das (ACBSP)

The discussion as to whom the Samsara (Gurvastakam) prays apply is quickly ended by reading aloud the translation of each verse. Clearly there is no one who fits this description except Srila Prabhupada himself and the previous Acaryas since Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, all pure unalloyed uttama-adhikari devotees. Because Srila Prabhupada is our Founder-Acarya such prayers should be chanted to him daily without fail as long as ISKCON exists.

Sri Sri Gurvastakam

The spiritual master is receiving benediction from the ocean of mercy. Just as a cloud pours water on a forest fire to extinguish it, so the spiritual master delivers the materially afflicted world by extinguishing the blazing fire of material existence. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is an ocean of auspicious qualities.


Chanting the holy name, dancing in ecstasy, singing, and playing musical instruments, the spiritual master is always gladdened by the sankirtana movement of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Because he is relishing the mellows of pure devotion within his mind, sometimes his hair stands on end, he feels quivering in his body, and tears flow from his eyes like waves. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

.
The spiritual master is always engaged in the temple worship of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna. He also engages his disciples in such worship. They dress the Deities in beautiful clothes and ornaments, clean Their temple, and perform other similar worship of the Lord. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

.
The spiritual master is always offering Krsna four kinds of delicious food [analyzed as that which is licked, chewed, drunk, and sucked]. When the spiritual master sees that the devotees are satisfied by eating bhagavat-prasada, he is satisfied. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.


The spiritual master is always eager to hear and chant about the unlimited conjugal pastimes of Radhika and Madhava, and Their qualities, names, and forms. The spiritual master aspires to relish these at every moment. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

.
The spiritual master is very dear, because he is expert in assisting the gopis, who at different times make different tasteful arrangements for the perfection of Radha and Krsna's conjugal loving affairs within the groves of Vrndavana. I offer my most humble obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

.
The spiritual master is to be honored as much as the Supreme Lord, because he is the most confidential servitor of the Lord. This is acknowledged in all revealed scriptures and followed by all authorities. Therefore I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is a bonafide representative of Sri Hari [Krsna].


By the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the benediction of Krsna. Without the grace of the spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement. Therefore, I should always remember and praise the spiritual master. At least three times a day I should offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of my spiritual master.
