#Swaminarayan<\/p>\n
denying the authority of the Vedas<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Prabhup\u0101da:<\/b> [Hindi] Swaminarayan. That is my objection. Why they are putting…<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Indian man (2):<\/b> “Swaminarayan, Swaminarayan, Swaminarayan.” [laughs][break].<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Prabhup\u0101da:<\/b> …thing. “Swaminarayan.” N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47a is there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Indian man (4):<\/b> N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47a is there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dr. Patel:<\/b> Swami is their guru,<\/em> and N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47a is God, so both, Prabhup\u0101da and K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, Prabhup\u0101da and K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, Prabhup\u0101da K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Prabhup\u0101da:<\/b> But that does not mean they should chant. Just like we are not instructing our disciples to chant my name, “Bhaktivedanta Swami, Bhaktivedanta Swami…” No. They’re chanting Hare K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. Hari-tvena samasta-\u015b\u0101strair ukta\u1e25. Guru<\/em> is respected as good as K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, but that does not mean I shall teach them, “No, you chant my name, ‘Bhaktivedanta Swami, Bhaktivedanta Swami, Bhaktivedanta Swami.’ ” What is this? We are teaching, “Chant Hare K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a.” Harer n\u0101ma, harer n\u0101ma…<\/em> [Cc. \u0100di 17.21].<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Indian man (2):<\/b> No, no. He is from that samprad\u0101ya.<\/em> [break] They worship God as Swaminarayan. “My Lord is<\/span> N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47a.” Swami means the Lord, and N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47a is the Lord. So they say always “Swaminarayan, Swaminarayan.” Just like we chant Hare K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, Hare K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, they chant “Swaminarayan, Swaminarayan, Swaminarayan.” The Lord is N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47a, Lord is N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47a. Lord is N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47a. So Swami is N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47a. You see, actually what did he preach? “Our Swami is N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47a.” So they have Swaminarayan song.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Prabhup\u0101da:<\/b> That is M\u0101y\u0101v\u0101da. That is M\u0101y\u0101v\u0101da.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Indian man (1):<\/b> That is M\u0101y\u0101v\u0101da, or whatever it may be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Indian man (2):<\/b> Oh, Lord is N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47a.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Prabhup\u0101da:<\/b> Everything is M\u0101y\u0101v\u0101da. As soon as we say, “Our Swami is N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47a,” it is M\u0101y\u0101v\u0101da.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dr. Patel:<\/b> It is not that. It is… What he says is not right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Dr. Patel:<\/b> Swaminarayan has answered in this way, that any of your matir…<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Prabhup\u0101da:<\/b> Swaminarayan…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dr. Patel:<\/b> No, no, I speak. Any buddhi<\/em> other than giving K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is m\u0101y\u0101.<\/em> Anything you think other than K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is m\u0101y\u0101.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Prabhup\u0101da:<\/b> Then when he thinks that “I am incarnation of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a”…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dr. Patel:<\/b> He has not said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Prabhup\u0101da:<\/b> …it is not m\u0101y\u0101?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dr. Patel:<\/b> He had not said so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Prabhup\u0101da:<\/b> Oh, yes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dr. Patel:<\/b> If tomorrow these boys say that you are incarnation of God, is it your fault?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dr. Patel:<\/b> That is what it is. Tomorrow these boys say, after you pass away, that you are incarnation of God, it is not your fault. Like that, people will say so. I have not said so.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Prabhup\u0101da:<\/b> But that is going on. The other day one, another Swaminarayan came. I ask him, “Why there is no picture of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dr. Patel:<\/b> That we did discuss last time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Prabhup\u0101da:<\/b> He also said like that. “No, because…”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dr. Patel:<\/b> Why do you want to divert?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Prabhup\u0101da:<\/b> Yes. You diverted. You brought Swaminarayan. We don’t accept Swaminarayan<\/mark> as authority. We don’t accept that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" #Swaminarayan denying the authority of the Vedas Prabhup\u0101da: [Hindi] Swaminarayan.
