Rupagopi dd: Aindra was singing in the Panchattatva temple in Mayapur. I was able to record one of his bhajans. It is absolutely amazing. The temple was completely full — probably 500 devotees. Due to the volume of the instruments and the devotees it is sometimes hard to hear Aindra himself. You can still get some idea of the power of his performance.
AINDRA Prabhu: It is not that Srila Prabhupada’s sankirtana mission precludes the prospects of pursuing the path of raga, nor is it that legitimate institutional leadership is the monopolized prerogative of the religio-corporate power elites and ecclesiastically rubberstamped guru figureheads. We cannot rubberstamp paramahamsas.
Indeed, as only the maha-bhagavata truly has the fitness to bestow suddha-nama upon anyone, without receiving which a disciplic candidate could hardly hope to make much tangible spiritual progress in this age of Kali, it is the paramahamsa-maha-bhagavata alone who viably stands as a comprehensive representative of all our Srila Prabhupada and the acarya-parampara have to offer.
We must always remember – It is not that authority constitutes truth. Truth constitutes authority. That is guru-parampara. They who prefer to bend, water down, compromise, or obscure the truth to suit various inveigling materially conceived managerial agenda on the plea of propagating the Krishna consciousness movement are not truthful Brahmins, what then of being paramahamsa Vaishnavas.
It is disgraceful to remain a fallible neophyte. It is not enough that children pretend to be adults ad nauseum on the plea of perpetuating the sampradaya.
Sand-box make-believe-world half-baked mud-pie “Krishna consciousness” will not do. Vaidhi bhakti, though useful to a limit, is like licking the outside of a jar of honey. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada says so.
Our ISKCON founder-acarya, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, echoes the same instruction. Therefore, I am compelled to press this most essential point. We have to make progress. Jiva jago! Jiva jago! We have to open the honey jar and actually taste the honey.
That is raga-marga-bhajana-kirtana, that is real sadhu-sanga, and that is true para-upakara. Mere lateral expansion of the institution’s workforce, notwithstanding the society’s unspeakable membership turnover, does not in and of itself constitute progress of the Krishna consciousness movement.
Movement means to scientifically and consciously move ourselves and those who depend on us for spiritual inspiration toward the very legitimate goal of vraja-prema.
To that end, those who are sufficiently endowed with good brain substance (sumedhasa) recognize that there is simply no other recourse, no other recourse, no other recourse in this present time and circumstance than to, from the very seedling beginning of devotional life to the absolute perfectional end (which has no end), take shelter of the process most recommended by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, namely maha-mantra-sankirtana, the loud congregational chanting of the Holy Name.
