Narada Pancaratra 1.9.21-22

krsna mantro dvija mukhad
yasya karnam prayati ca
tam vaisnavam jagat putam
pravadanti pura vidah

mantra grahana matrena
naro narayanatmakah
punati lila matrena
purusanam satam satam

The knowers of spiritual science call that person a Vaisnava, a purifier of the entire world, who has received a Krsna mantra from the mouth of a twice-born spiritual master. As soon as a person receives a Krsna mantra, he becomes situated on the same platform as Lord Narayana Himself and easily delivers one hundred generations of his family.

Dealings with other branches of the Gaudiya Math Murlidhara dasa, disciple of Govinda Maharaja (Sridhar Maharajas disciple, Gaudiya Math) April 1999:
"For several years Narayana Maharaja heavily attacked Srila Sridhar Maharaja both verbally and in print. Before Srila Guru Maharajas departure from this world, when we were living with Srila Guru Maharaja at Nabadwip Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math in the 1980s the disciples of Srila Sridhar Maharaja who knew the facts about the relationship between our Divine Master and Narayana Maharaja would never go to the Math of Narayana Maharaja. Ultimately, however, it is not just Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharajas attitude towards Srila Sridhar Maharaja but also Narayana Maharajas philosophy that disconnects him from Srila Sridhar Maharaja, (especially), Narayana Maharajas proposal that neophyte devotees should constantly meditate on Krishnas pastimes with the gopis."
Swami B.V. Tripurari, "Gadadhara Pandita: Harmonizing Differences", July 22, 2000:
"The closest followers of every other sect in our Gaudiya Sarasvata sampradaya that are preaching internationally, all of whom I am acquainted with, feel that many of the followers of Narayana Maharaja are full of pride... We are happy for the success of Narayana Maharajas group for Mahaprabhu. We wish them well. My dear Godbrother, Sripada B.G. Narasingha Maharaja, and I personally welcomed Sripada B.V. Narayana Maharaja on his first world tour with open arms. Why do his leading followers now insult persons like us, and, implicit in their fanatical preaching, gurus like Pujyapada Sridhara Maharaja, Puri Goswami, B.V. Tirtha Maharaja, etc.?"
So it is not just an iskcon problem....Narayanna maharajas aggressive attempts to force his own mistaken opinions of Bhakti, upon the worlds different gaudiya mathas devotees and their gurus!...
What right has he to attack Sridhara maharaja?Who is his superior in every respect.Who is on the level of his own diksa guru....Is this the behaviour of a Vaisnava?When the desire to be Srila Prabhupadas successor within ISKCON sets in.When the present mood of getting thisISKCON Archarya position BECOMES ALL CONSUMING?HOOK OR BY CROOK sets in ......is this a material consideration?
When this Desire for profit and position swallows you up ?When you are performing low class activities by Re-initiating foolish neophytes,whose guru has not fallen?And because of these material desires for POSITION,you make it your permanent Preaching strategy.?Is this the behaviour of a Vaisnava?Please manasi seva and kulapavanna prabhus ....please explain how have these impurities come upon your team?We are certainly bereft of your RAGANUGA vision!Please enlighten us how this is KRISHNAS arrangement?Is this what ie means by taking the mercy of the VAISNAVA.....you attempt to steal his neophyte disciples?

I worry about your mental health sri_g. What your comments and questions actually meant to accomplish, other than drawing a bright line between devotees?
