A dog naturally does not become a devotee at any time. But still it is sometimes found that a dog of a devotee gradually becomes a devotee also. We have actually seen that a dog has no respect even for the <em>tulasi<\/em> plant. Indeed, a dog is especially inclined to pass urine on the <em>tulasi<\/em> plant. Therefore the dog is the number one nondevotee. But Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu\u2019s <em>sankirtana<\/em> movement is so strong that even a doglike nondevotee can gradually become a devotee by the association of a devotee of Lord Caitanya. Srila Sivananda Sena, a great householder devotee of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, attracted a dog on the street while going to Jagannatha Puri. The dog began to follow him and ultimately went to see Caitanya Mahaprabhu and was liberated. Similarly, cats and dogs in the household of Srivasa Thakura were also liberated. Cats and dogs and other animals are not expected to become devotees, but in the association of a pure devotee they are also delivered.<\/p>\n<p>TEXTS 2\u20136<\/p>\n<p><em>jaya jaya sri-krsna-caitanya-nityananda<br \/>\n<\/em><em>jaya advaitacandra jaya gaura-bhakta-vrnda<\/em><\/p>\n<p>All glories to Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda!

I offer my respects to all the branches of the tree, the devotees of the Lord who distribute the fruit of love of Krsna.<\/p>\n<p>PURPORT<\/p>\n<p>Sri Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami sets the example of offering obeisances to all the preacher devotees of Lord Caitanya, without distinction as to higher and lower. Unfortunately, at present there are many foolish so-called devotees of Lord Caitanya who make such distinctions. For example, the title \u201cPrabhupada\u201d is offered to a spiritual master, especially to a distinguished spiritual master such as Srila Rupa Gosvami Prabhupada, Srila Jiva Gosvami Prabhupada, or Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada. When our disciples similarly wanted to address their spiritual master as Prabhupada, some foolish people became envious. Not considering the propaganda work of the Hare Krsna movement, simply because these disciples addressed their spiritual master as Prabhupada, they became so envious that they formed a faction with other such envious persons just to minimize the value of the Krsna consciousness movement. To chastise such fools, Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami very frankly says, <em>keha karibare nare jyestha-laghu-krama<\/em>. Anyone who is a bona fide preacher of the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu must be respectful to the real devotees of Lord Caitanya; one should not be envious, considering one preacher to be very great and another to be very lowly. This is a material distinction and has no place on the platform of spiritual activities. Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami therefore offers equal respect to all the preachers of the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who are compared to the branches of the tree. ISKCON is one of these branches, and it should therefore be respected by all sincere devotees of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.<\/p>\n<p>COMMENT by Giriraj Swami<\/p>\n<p>Even among Gaudiya Vaishnavas, we must be careful to avoid offenses. We must respect and recognize the service of all Vaishnavas. As Srila Prabhupada once said, if we do not give credit where credit is due, we will become envious.<span id=\"more-16866\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>TEXT 85<\/p>\n<p><em>tanra madhye rupa-sanatana-bada sakha<br \/>\n<\/em><em>anupama, jiva, rajendradi upasakha<\/em><\/p>\n<p>TRANSLATION<\/p>\n<p>Among these branches, Rupa and Sanatana were principal. Anupama, Jiva Gosvami and others, headed by Rajendra, were their sub-branches.<\/p>\n<p>PURPORT<\/p>\n<p>In the <em>Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika<\/em> (195) it is said that Srila Jiva Gosvami was formerly Vilasa-manjari <em>gopi<\/em>. From his very childhood Jiva Gosvami was greatly fond of <em>Srimad-Bhagavatam<\/em>. He later came to Navadvipa to study Sanskrit, and, following in the footsteps of Sri Nityananda Prabhu, he circumambulated the entire Navadvipa-dhama.<\/p>\n<p>COMMENT<\/p>\n<p>Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has described Jiva Gosvami\u2019s Navadvipa <em>parikrama<\/em>, and this <em>parikrama<\/em> of Nityananda Prabhu and Jiva Gosvami forms the basis of the Navadvipa <em>parikrama<\/em> we perform now, under the guidance of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.<\/p>\n<p>PURPORT<\/p>\n<p>After visiting Navadvipa-dhama he went to Benares to study Sanskrit under Madhusudana Vacaspati, and after finishing his studies in Benares he went to Vrndavana and took shelter of his uncles, Sri Rupa and Sri Sanatana. This is described in <em>Bhakti-ratnakara<\/em>. As far as our information goes, Srila Jiva Gosvami composed and edited at least twenty-five books. They are all very celebrated, and they are listed as follows: (1) <em>Hari-namamrta-vyakarana<\/em>, (2) <em>Sutra-malika<\/em>, (3) <em>Dhatu-sangraha<\/em>, (4) <em>Krsnarca-dipika<\/em>, (5)<em> Gopala-virudavali<\/em>, (6) <em>Rasamrta-sesa<\/em>, (7) <em>Sri Madhava-mahotsava<\/em>, (8) <em>Sri Sankalpa-kalpavrksa<\/em>, (9) <em>Bhavartha-sucaka-campu<\/em>, (10) <em>Gopala-tapani-tika<\/em>, (11) a commentary on the <em>Brahma-samhita<\/em>, (12) a commentary on the <em>Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu<\/em>, (13) a commentary on the <em>Ujjvala-nilamani<\/em>, (14) a commentary on the <em>Yogasara-stava<\/em>, (15) a commentary on the <em>Gayatri-mantra<\/em>, as described in the <em>Agni Purana<\/em>, (16) a description derived from the <em>Padma Purana<\/em> of the lotus feet of the Lord, (17) a description of the lotus feet of Srimati Radharani, (18) <em>Gopala-campu<\/em> (in two parts), and (19\u201325) seven <em>sandharbhas<\/em>: the <em>Krama-<\/em>, <em>Tattva-<\/em>, <em>Bhagavat-<\/em>, <em>Paramatma-<\/em>, <em>Krsna-<\/em>, <em>Bhakti-<\/em>, and <em>Priti-sandharba<\/em>. After the disappearance of Srila Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami in Vrndavana, Srila Jiva Gosvami became the <em>acarya<\/em> of all the Vaisnavas in Bengal, Orissa, and the rest of the world, and it is he who used to guide them in devotional service. In Vrndavana he established the Radha-Damodara temple, where, after retirement, we had the opportunity to live from 1962 until 1965, when we decided to come to the United States of America. When Jiva Gosvami was still present, Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami compiled his famous <em>Caitanya-caritamrta<\/em>. Later, Srila Jiva Gosvami inspired Srinivasa Acarya, Narottama dasa Thakura, and Duhkhi Krsnadasa to preach Krsna consciousness in Bengal. Jiva Gosvami was informed that all the manuscripts that had been collected from Vrndavana and sent to Bengal for preaching purposes were plundered near Visnupura in Bengal, but later he received the information that the books had been recovered. Sri Jiva Gosvami awarded the designation Kaviraja to Ramacandra Sena, a disciple of Srinivasa Acarya\u2019s, and to Ramacandra\u2019s younger brother Govinda. While Jiva Gosvami was alive, Srimati Jahnavi-devi, the pleasure potency of Sri Nityananda Prabhu, went to Vrndavana with a few devotees. Jiva Gosvami was very kind to the Gaudiya Vaisnavas, the Vaisnavas from Bengal. Whoever went to Vrndavana, he provided with a residence and <em>prasada<\/em>. His disciple Krsnadasa Adhikari listed all the books of the Gosvamis in his diary.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>sahajiyas<\/em> level three accusations against Srila Jiva Gosvami. This is certainly not congenial for the execution of devotional service. The first accusation concerns a materialist who was very proud of his reputation as a great Sanskrit scholar and approached Sri Rupa and Sanatana to argue with them about the revealed scriptures. Srila Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami, not wanting to waste their time, gave him a written statement that he had defeated them in a debate on the revealed scriptures. Taking this paper, the scholar approached Jiva Gosvami for a similar certificate of defeat but Jiva Gosvami did not agree to give him one. On the contrary, he argued with him regarding the scriptures and defeated him. Certainly it was right for Jiva Gosvami to stop such a dishonest scholar from advertising that he had defeated Srila Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami, but due to their illiteracy the <em>sahijiya<\/em> class referred to this incident to accuse Srila Jiva Gosvami of deviating from the principle of humility. They do not know, however, that humility and meekness are appropriate when one\u2019s own honor is insulted but not when Lord Visnu or the <em>acaryas<\/em> are blasphemed. In such cases one should not be humble and meek but must act. One should follow the example given by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Lord Caitanya says in His <em>Siksastaka<\/em> (3):<\/p>\n<p><em>trnad api su-nicena<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 taror iva sahisnuna<br \/>\n<\/em><em>amanina mana-dena<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 kirtaniyah sada hari<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne can chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking himself lower than the straw in the street. One should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.\u201d Nevertheless, when the Lord was informed that Nityananda Prabhu was injured by Jagai and Madhai, He immediately went to the spot, angry like fire, wanting to kill them. Thus Lord Caitanya has explained His verse by the example of His own behavior. One should tolerate insults against oneself, but when there is blasphemy committed against superiors such as other Vaisnavas, one should be neither humble nor meek: one must take proper steps to counteract such blasphemy. This is the duty of the servant of a guru and Vaisnavas. Anyone who understands the principle of eternal servitude to the guru and Vaisnavas will appreciate the action of Sri Jiva Gosvami in connection with the so-called scholar\u2019s victory over his gurus, Srila Rupa and Srila Sanatana Gosvami.<\/p>\n<p>COMMENT<\/p>\n<p>In the olden days in India, Sanskrit scholars used to try to show their proficiency by traveling and challenging other scholars and learned persons to debate, and if one was successful, he would be the champion. And if the person could actually go throughout India and defeat all of the other scholars, he was <em>digvijaya<\/em>, the greatest champion in Sanskrit knowledge or in scriptural arguments. Just like today there is competition among the cricket teams: they go all over the world and face rival cricket teams, and there is fierce competition to win the match. So, in the olden days, there used to be competition to win debates about Sanskrit and shastra.<\/p>\n<p>But Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami were pure devotees of the Lord. They had no desire to waste time arguing and debating, to gain name and fame. So when the scholar came to debate, Rupa and Sanatana said, \u201cYou want to claim that you have defeated us? All right, you can tell people.\u201d And they each gave him a certificate: \u201cYou have defeated me.\u201d But when the same scholar came to Jiva Gosvami, Jiva Gosvami did not like the fact that the scholar was falsely advertising that he had defeated Rupa and Sanatana. Therefore, to uphold their honor, Jiva Gosvami engaged in debate with the scholar and defeated him.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sahajiyas<\/em> disrespect genuine acharyas. Generally, <em>sahajiyas<\/em> lack knowledge of scriptures. They think that study of scripture and discussion of <em>siddhanta<\/em> are for lower<strong>\u2013<\/strong>class Vaishnavas. They want to hear <em>krsna-lila<\/em>, talks of the pastimes of Radha and Krishna in Vrindavan, not philosophy. Once, when Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura visited Radha-kunda, the <em>babajis<\/em> became excited because they thought that, as an acharya, he would speak about <em>krsna-lila<\/em>. But to curb the <em>sahajiyas\u2019 <\/em>pride, he spoke on the <em>Isopanisad<\/em>\u2014not even the <em>Bhagavad-gita<\/em>\u2014to establish the fact that the <em>sahajiyas<\/em> should first learn the basic knowledge of the revealed scriptures.<\/p>\n<p>Some <em>sahajiyas<\/em> think that initiating disciples is another form of materialism. And they blaspheme genuine acharyas for having many disciples. They cannot understand that the discussion of shastra and the training of disciples are transcendental, and so they blaspheme bona fide spiritual masters like Srila Jiva Gosvami. When Jiva Gosvami defeated the scholar, the <em>sahajiyas<\/em> thought that he was being proud and wanted to show that he knew more than others. They could not understand his real motives\u2014to defend the names of Srila Rupa Gosvami and Srila Sanatana Gosvami and to curb the false prestige and false propaganda of the scholar. One of the basic principles of devotional service is that one should not tolerate blasphemy of the Lord or a devotee. <em>Sahajiyas<\/em> think that being humble means to tolerate all sorts of insults. And personally we <em>should<\/em> tolerate insult. But when there is insult to the spiritual master or the Vaishnavas or Krishna, we should not tolerate. If we are able, we should defeat the opposing party. The <em>sahajiyas<\/em> like the verse <em>trnad api su-nicena taror iva sahisnuna\/ amanina mana-dena kirtaniyah sada harih<\/em>. But Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the author of the verse, Himself showed the example that although for one\u2019s own sake one can be meek and humble and tolerate all sorts of insults, in relation to the spiritual master and the devotees one should not tolerate. Therefore, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu came to the place where Jagai and Madhai had insulted Nityananda Prabhu ready to kill Jagai and Madhai. And thus He showed the real meaning of <em>trnad api su-nicena<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>PURPORT (continued)<\/p>\n<p>Another story fabricated to defame Srila Jiva Gosvami states that when Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami showed him the newly-completed manuscript of <em>Sri Caitanya-caritamrita<\/em>, Jiva Gosvami thought that it would hamper his reputation as a big scholar and therefore threw it in a well. Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami was greatly shocked, according to this story, and he died immediately. Fortunately a copy of the manuscript of <em>Sri Caitanya-caritamrta<\/em> had been kept by a person named Mukunda, and therefore later it was possible to publish the book. This story is another ignominious example of blasphemy against a guru and Vaisnava. Such a story should never be accepted as authoritative.<\/p>\n<p>COMMENT<\/p>\n<p>Mundane people are so envious that they do not hesitate to criticize such a great personality as Srila Jiva Gosvami. They even manufacture stories. Here the story is that Jiva Gosvami was afraid that <em>Sri Caitanya-caritamrta<\/em> would diminish his reputation as a devotee and scholar and therefore out of envy he threw the manuscript in a well so that the book would be lost. Indirectly, they charge that Jiva Gosvami was responsible for the death of Krishnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami. Such a claim is absurd\u2014and offensive.<\/p>\n<p>PURPORT (continued)<\/p>\n<p>According to another accusation, Srila Jiva Gosvami did not approve of the principles of the <em>parakiya-rasa<\/em> of Vraja-dhama and therefore supported <em>svakiya-rasa<\/em>, showing that Radha and Krsna are eternally married.<\/p>\n<p>COMMENT<\/p>\n<p><em>Svakiya-rasa<\/em> means relationship with one\u2019s own wife. And <em>parakiya-rasa<\/em> means relationship with someone who is not one\u2019s wife, who is either not married at all and thus is under the protection of her parents, or who is married to someone else and thus is under the protection of her husband.<\/p>\n<p>PURPORT (continued)<\/p>\n<p>Actually, when Jiva Gosvami was alive, some of his followers disliked the <em>parakiya-rasa<\/em> of the <em>gopis<\/em>. Therefore Srila Jiva Gosvami, for their spiritual benefit, supported <em>svakiya-rasa<\/em>, for he could understand that <em>sahajiyas<\/em> would otherwise exploit the <em>parakiya-rasa<\/em>, as they are actually doing at the present time. Unfortunately, in Vrndavana and Navadvipa it has become fashionable among <em>sahajiyas<\/em>, in their debauchery, to find an unmarried sexual partner to live with to execute so-called devotional service in <em>parakiya-rasa<\/em>. Foreseeing this, Srila Jiva Gosvami supported <em>svakiya-rasa<\/em>, and later all the Vaisnava <em>acaryas<\/em> also approved of it.<\/p>\n<p>COMMENT<\/p>\n<p>Once, a man asked Srila Prabhupada, \u201cKrishna enjoyed with the wives of others, so did He not commit adultery?\u201d Srila Prabhupada replied, \u201cEveryone and everything is the property of Krishna. Your wife is also Krishna\u2019s property. So who is committing adultery?\u201d Because all souls belong to Krishna, Krishna\u2019s relationship with them is <em>svakiya<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>PURPORT (concluded)<\/p>\n<p>Srila Jiva Gosvami was never opposed to the transcendental <em>parakiya-rasa<\/em>, nor has any other Vaisnava disapproved of it. Srila Jiva Gosvami strictly followed his predecessor gurus and Vaisnavas, Srila Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami, and Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami accepted him as one of his instructor gurus.<\/p>\n<p>COMMENT<\/p>\n<p>If Jiva Gosvami had actually deviated from the line of Rupa and Sanatana, how could Krishnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami, who elaborately described <em>radha-krsna-lila<\/em> in <em>parakiya-rasa<\/em>, especially in <em>Sri Govinda-lilamrta<\/em>, have accepted him as <em>siksa-guru<\/em>? All the acharyas in the line following Rupa Gosvami accept the transcendental <em>parakiya-rasa<\/em>, and they also accept Srila Jiva Gosvami as <em>siksa-guru<\/em>. When they accept Srila Jiva Gosvami as <em>siksa-guru<\/em>, there cannot be any fault or deviation in him. He argued in favor of <em>svakiya-rasa<\/em>simply to pacify some ignorant disciples who could not appreciate the transcendental <em>parakiya-rasa<\/em>, and to curb the <em>sahajiyas<\/em>, who would falsely try to imitate <em>parakiya-rasa<\/em> and thus go to hell. Jiva Gosvami is faultless, and bona fide followers of Sri Jiva, or of any acharya, will defend the acharya from false accusations. Jiva Gosvami did it for his gurus, Srila Rupa and Sanatana Gosvamis, and here Srila Prabhupada is doing it for Srila Jiva Gosvami.<\/p>\n<p>We too should follow this principle. We should not tolerate blasphemy of the acharyas and pure Vaishnavas; we should defend them to the best of our ability. And if we are not able to defeat the criticism, then at least we should not hear it. We should leave the place.<\/p>\n<p>Hare Krishna.<\/p>\n<p>Are there any questions or comments?<\/p>\n<p>Devotee: [inaudible]\n<p>Giriraj Swami: The spiritual master may not protest, because he is following the principle of humility, but the disciples can. When Sisupala blasphemed Krishna, none of the Pandavas could tolerate the insults, and they were ready to kill him. But Krishna said, \u201cNo!\u201d He tolerated. Then finally He Himself killed Sisupala and delivered him. But the Pandavas were bound to become upset, and they were bound to take action.<\/p>\n<p>Devotee: [inaudible]\n<p>Giriraj Swami: The associates of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu are in the highest grade. Among devotees in the highest grade we shouldn\u2019t distinguish between big and small in a material way, just as we shouldn\u2019t distinguish between the leaves of the tulasi tree\u2014\u201cThat one is big, so it is better\u201d or \u201cThis one is small, so it is lesser.\u201d All are the same because they are parts of the tulasi plant. We may distinguish between a tulasi leaf and another type of leaf, which is not sacred like tulasi, but among the tulasi leaves we should not distinguish.<\/p>\n<p>Srila Prabhupada <em>ki jaya!<br \/>\n<\/em><em>Gaura-premanande hari-haribol!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\n<\/em>[A talk by Giriraj Swami on Srila Jiva Gosvami\u2019s disappearance day,\u00a0January 14, 1994, Mauritius]\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 &nbsp; &nbsp; Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila, Chapter Ten describes the branches of the tree named Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
