PADA: OK once again Torben Nielsen complains that there is "no shastra" that allows for people to worship a "departed acharya." Same idea of Hanuman Croatia / Rocana / Kailash etc. Yes, there is NOWHERE in shastra where it says we have to worship Krishna via His pure devotee!
Cannot find that ANYWHERE!
Right. We need to worship the current acharya aka the "living person" instead. OK sign me up! I am ready to go and offer my obeisances to the current living acharya! Lets do it! Oh oh! Big problem right out of the gate!
Hanuman Croatia / Rocana / Torben / Kailash forgot the name of their living guru already. Their alzheimer took over and they cannot remember who their guru is. My guru is, ahhh .... I fergits.
They thus cannot tell us their living guru's name, address, or location. They cannot show us a photo of their guru, or show us a book made by their guru, or show us a temple made by their guru, or show us a program made by their guru, or even -- one devotee made by their guru. OK we are supposed to worship, no one at all? This sounds quite MAYAVADA.
Some VRNDA program folks are saying we need to take down the photos of Paramadvaiti swami, and maybe switch that with the photo of Atulananda. Of course some people are upset with Atulananda for his previous support of the Paramadvaiti program despite so many complaints. Some are saying, maybe his photo needs to also be removed.
Hah hah, then they have no "current" guru photo at all?
Its obvious why these "non-guru" people never tell us who their guru is, because we already know the problems their gurus have been having. So now they are down to, well yes, we have a living guru, but we cannot tell you who he is, where he is, what he says, what he does, because -- ok because you already know this guy and his problems.
Yes, there is simply no instruction from Krishna to worship His pure devotee, its not in shastra. What does Krishna tell us instead? Worship no one at all! Of course! How did I miss that? Hee hee! ys pd
