Whenever there was anything published in a newspaper, magazine, or book,
against the true teachings of Lord Caitanya, Srila bhaktisiddanta saraswati takura Prabhupada would become very angry.
He would then call his disciples and order them to write something in retaliation,
against this. He would also give the direction of what to write and how to write
it. This is the meaning of "rupanuga virata pasya a hedonta adwonine" (see
song book. Last line of pranami mantra). He would not tolerate any article
whether in Bengal or Orissa or anywhere, that was against the proper teachings
of bhagavat dharma, especially misrepresentations of Lord Caitanya's
teachings, which he was very concerned about.
It was some kind of a fashion at that time for writers and journalists to write against the cult of Lord Caitanya.
Seeing such activities, Srila BHAKTISIDDANTA SARASWATI TAKURA Prabhupada became furious like a lion. The were rebuttles sent
under his the direction , that were so strong, writers in Bengal and Orissa
eventually gave up making articles against Lord Caitanya, fearing retribution
from the Gaudiya Math.
One time, for example, an article came out saying that
brahmacaris should become grhasthas and then maybe they think about taking
sannyasa. SRILA bHAKTISIDDANTA SARASWATI TAKURA PRABHUPADA became very angry saying, "What is this? This is not according to the sastra! Brahmacaris should beconme sannyasis. Why should they become
entangled in material life?"So such wonderful quotes illustrate to us how the material nature[mayadevi] even attacks insidiously the activities of an Archarya......what to speak of us lowly persons!So such attacks of mayadevi...naturally give the sincere bhakta the opportunity to reassert the actual devotional platform of knowledge...in other words there is an unlimited opportunity to preach to the conditioned souls within the fortess...or durga dhama's prison house!
Hare Krsna Shridhar Pandit Prabhuji ! A good discussion you have started. Mayadevi is Krsna's Bahiranga Shakti and it is working under the orders of Krsna to strictly test Jeeva, lure jeeva by using his "Panchendriyas", entangle him in Bhautik Jagat Bhogas, Kama, Krodh, Mad Moh Lobha all sorts of Pralobhanas, even acting like Bhakti of Krsna, personify like false Krsna, that is to say by all means, by hook or crook she has to lure the jeeva towards Bhautik jagat. But once it is determined / rather tested and jeeva passes, then she has no right to touch Krsna's Bhakta. Because of this test "PURE GOLD" reaches Krsna's Goloke Dhaam. Jeeva should be 100% means 100% pure nothing short than that.
hare krsna
she is not working against our bhakti infact she is an catalyst in making us going back to godhead.
