Mercy of Grandfather Guru?

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All Glories to Srila Gurudeva, and Srimati Gurumatarani Ji.

All Glories to Sri Sri Nitai Gauracandra.

Hare Krishna

I have heard from a lecture from His Holiness Tamal Krishna Goswami that Srila Prabhupada said that Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Maharaja was very strict but He would not be that strict with Him (Tamal Krishna Goswami and His Godbrothers/Godsisters). Because it is like how a Grandfather is with his Grandsons. He is stricter on his son than his grandson, and there is a special affection to his grandson.

So my question is, is Srila Prabhupada going to be more merciful to us (disciples of His disciples) than to those who are direct Prabhupada disciples (Tamal Krishna Goswami, Sankarshan Das Adhikari, Bhakti Caru Goswami, etc.)?

Your servant,

Bhakta David

  • My experience says me yes. Guru Maharaj is sometimes rather heavy. Guru means heavy. But Prabhupada if to pray to him and learn his books helps in soft manner.
