all problems. he looks fake. i once spoke to him about kalkin avatar and he
didnt say much. why focus on here below when we should be working on a
successful
Answer by Swami
Gaurangapada:
Yes, it is predicted in
the Shrimad Bhagavatam that 99.9% monks in Kali Yuga will be bogus and just
after their own sense-graitification and thus so many people will be misguided
(manda bhagya) and led to deviated paths other than pure bhakti to Lord
Gauranga-Krishna. The common people are already sumanda matayo that is that
they do not have any inclination for spirituality and a few of them that do
have end up getting misled by bogus people. This is Kali Yuga. And that is why
Lord Krishna has come again in Kali Yuga as Lord Gauranga in the form of the
original Sadhu and Guru of all living entities: sadhu guru rupe krishna aila
nadia....Anyone who worships Lord Gauranga in Kali Yuga and chants His Holy
Name is the most intelligent real sadhu despite one's limitations if any. The
primary symptom of a great devotee is how much he or she is attached to
chanting and spreading the Holy Names of Nityananda, Gauranga and Hare Krishna
and Their pastimes.
You are right that we
should rather vigorously chant and spread the Holy Names of Supreme Gods of all
Gods and creation---?Shri Shri Nityananda Gauranga rather than endeavor to make
a list of the bogus sadhus who are cropping up at every moment in this world
preaching something other than devotion and surrender to the Holy Names of Lord
Gauranga-Krishna and Lord Nityananda-Balarama.
