Tridandisvami Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja : What is the purpose of the Gaudiya Matha?
Many people who come forward to perform sadhana-bhajana, to lead a life of devotional service, become trapped by the illusory potency of the Lord and become attached to maya in her feature as a woman. In this way they entrench their life in misery. We should be ever alert to this. The Gaudiya Matha is not an establishment intended to facilitate this. What is the purpose of the... Gaudiya Matha? It is to sincerely and purely follow the teachings of Srila Rupa Gosvami. The Gaudiya Matha's very existence is based on one objective alone: to follow the instructions of Sriman Mahaprabhu and Srila Rupa Gosvami by becoming acquainted with their teachings and performing bhajana accordingly.
One who leads such a life by remaining under the shelter of a genuine guru actually performs Vyasa-puja. Such conduct alone signifies fitting worship of Srila Rupa Gosvami and our entire guru-parampara. If one wishes to perform sadhana-bhajana by following such rules and regulations then one may stay in the matha, but there is no place in the matha for those nurturing worldly (asat) propensities.
You all should clearly understand that the matha is not a place for arranging and celebrating marriages. If one wants to practise bhajana in its purest form, then one should reside in the matha and serve Sri Guru and the Vaisnavas, even though one may receive chastisement from them. Sri Narada's curse upon Nalakuvara and Manigriva proved to be extremely beneficial for them. In the same manner, the chastisement of Sri Guru and Vaisnavas is also highly auspicious. If a person tolerates their chastisement and continues to reside in the matha, then he alone can truly understand their mercy.

Gaudiya Parampara and its Supreme Especiality.
Gaudiya Vaishnava Bhagavat Guru
Parampara and His Supreme Especiality
A clarification of some misconceptions regarding the
Gaudiya Vaishnava Guru Parampara and their mood of devotion.
*Pancharatrika and Bhagavat-Guru Parampara
*Jagad
Guru Prabhupad Sri Srimad Bhaktissidhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur delineated
the Rupanuga line of highest devotion in his song “Guru parampara”
*Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana is Ratnavali Devi- belong
to the manjari´s group of Gopis.
* The glories of Srila Baladev Vidyabhusan Mahasay
* Diference between
Raganuga and Rupanuga
* Priya Narma Sakhas are in sakhya rasa
* All Gaudiya Acharyas have fixed
the same supreme goal and devotion
* Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj is surely a Rupanuga Acharya in all respects.
* Sometimes,
Vaisnavas hide their internal mood according to time and circunstances.
* Srila Sukadev Goswami is
right, Srila Jayadev Goswami is right
In the
beginning of Srila Gurudev B.V.Narayan Goswami´s book called “Prabandha
Pancakam”, Srila Gurudev says:
“Nowadays, as in the field of politics, we find that
envy, hatred, bickering, insubordination or reluctance in the matter of
accepting the guidance of senior authorities and other anomalies have also
entered the arena of dharma. In former times everyone used to deeply revere the
axiom “mahäjano yena gataù sa panthä”
and honour the principle of änugatya,
(accepting the guidance of one's respectable superiors. Due to the
deteriorating influence of time, some narrow-minded modernists want to cut away
at the holy thread of anygatya in the ancient parampara-system and destroy
friendship between the pure sampradayas. They
consider themselves important by inventing an imaginary process of bhajan and
then establishing them as authentic. These people who are creating factions
within the sampradaya cannot understand that by their ignoble endeavours,
contrary to serving the mano´bhista or innermost desire of Kali Yuga Avatari
Sri Chaitanya |Mahaprabhu, they are digging up the roots of the Gaudiya
Vaishnava Sampradaya”
We see that
Gurudev words are still suitable for the present. Especially the misconceptions
regarding the goal propagated by the Acharyas of the Gaudiya Vaishnavism have
been misinterpreted by many preachers and the so called ‘advanced’ devotees who
have been propagating their own erroneous and unbased philosophy regarding this
topic. Especially among them are; Krsna Balaram Mandir, ISKCON leaders and a
Sangha created by Swami Tripurari. They all have the same imaginary idea
regarding some of the topics that we will discuss in this article. The
evidences here presented are not mine; they came from the bonafide Gurus who
are also the diksa or sanyassi Guru of the 3 Institutions who are spreading these
imaginary ideas regarding the Gaudiya Parampara and their tattva-siddhanta. So,
something had to be written- on the base of tattva-siddhanta, to ascertain the
goal of our life before we start the appropriate practice in order to attain
that goal. That’s why Gurudev used to quote Srila Krsna Das Kaviraj
Goswami, who in the beginning of his Chaitanya Caritamrta, just after the
mangala-carana, told about the goal and the importance to fix it first:
Sukadev Goswami is right, Jayadev Goswami is right- Prabhupad Saraswati Thakur
Srila Sukadev Goswami is
right, Srila Jayadev Goswami is right
In the book called “Prabhupad Saraswati Thakur”
by Mandala Publishing Group wich contains many articles written by Prabhupad,
in the page 117 of the same, Prabhupad wrote:
“The ‘hidden
matters’ can only be known by the special mercy of Sri Krishna and not
otherwise. They are not to be divulged to all persons indiscriminately. This
explanation offered by the Goswamis is
not opposed to the open treatment
of the same subject by Sri Jayadeva and others writers. In spite of the Gita
Govinda and its companion works, the subject of the relationship of Sri Radhika
to Sri Krishna remains shrouded in impenetrable mistery. No language can convey
to the lay reader anything but a misleading idea of the nature of the subject
on wich Sri Sukadev maintained such discrite silence. This result is hailed
with unmistakable joy by Srila Krsna Das Kaviraj Goswami, author of Sri
Chaitanya Charitamrta. Kaviraj Goswami pertinently observes that no joy can excel that of the narrator of
the hidden subject when he realizes that those very persons are wholly and
automatically barred from all knowledge of the subject. They will surely not appreciate the same for fear of whose neblect
the writer is afraid to narrate fully. Sri Sukadev Goswami´s hesitation to
divulge the secrets of the Vedas is well founded. The conduct of Sri jayadev
Goswami in speaking without reserve is equally
in order if we remember that his book cannot be understood at all by those
who are lacking in the highest spiritual culture.
Certain
uncritical writers have even thrown mud at the author of Gita-Govinda; but they
are the exceptions. Generally writers have thought it wise to avoid all
reference to the subject for the honest enough reason that they have failed to understand how a book wich
has a most obscene exterior could be cherished by all the great devotees of the
country, whose conduct is universally admitted to have been free from any taint
of casuality.”

Practicing abnegation inwardly- by Srila Guru maharaj
Sree
Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
There
are two paths: ”Pravritimarg” (Path through married life) and
”Nivritimarg” (Path through unmarried – ascetic life). Generally people are
eligible for "Pravritimarg". Persons who have made up their minds
that they will never go to house hold life (worldly life) are only competent to
take the ascetic order.
You
should not wait for your decision that in future whether you will accept
married life or unmarried life, you should start Bhajan immediately (Chanting
of the Holy Name, etc. avoiding tenfold offenses) because, nobody knows when we
shall have to leave this world. When Srimad Raghunath Das Goswami was very
eager to surmount this worldly ocean, Lord Sree Chaitanya Mahaprabhu pacified
him by first saying that he should not become mad, and that at present he
should remain in his house with a restful mind. Nobody can surmount the ocean
of births and deaths all of a sudden, it will take time. Gradually he can
surmount it. He should not try to show outwardly his indifference to worldly
affairs; inwardly he should practice abnegation and worship Sree Krishna with
sincerity. Sree Krishna will rescue him from the pangs of worldly suffering in
no time.
