Unsuitable for Vaishnavas—H. H. Sri Sri Vishvesha

Tirtha Swamiji Must Retract His Review

Udupi  Shri Krishna Who is directly the Supreme Personality of Godhead

I offer my eternal obeisances unto the Lord of Udupi Shri Krishna, the all-attractive Supreme Personality of Godhead and Lord of the Universe. He is eternally worshiped by the most devoted brahmanas within the sampradaya established by Shri Madhva Acharya. 

Lord Shri Udupi Krishna resides  on the coast of the Arabian Sea where the lords of the winds, the sun, the moon   and the waters—Shri Vayudeva, Surya-Narayana, Soma, and Varunadeva—can partake of His service along with His uncountable devotees who spend their days singing His praises.

I bow always in awe before Udupi Shri Krishna Whose effulgence is spreading throughout the world and Whose presence alone is sufficient to utterly root out the insidious promulgation of Mayavada.

Shri Madhvacharya declaring Dwaita-vada

I offer my repeated prostrated obeisance unto the divine lotus feet of Shrila Madhvacharya who is none other than the wind god Vayudeva for the salvation of the world.

I repeatedly bow before Shri Madhva who in Treta Yuga in his incarnation as Hanuman assisted the Personality of Godhead Lord Rama in wiping out the tyrant Ravana, and thus restored Queen Sita to Her King of Ayodhya.

I fall down like a stick before the divine form of Shri Madhva who at the end of Dwapara Yuga accepted the incarnation of the powerful Bhima Pandava, and who defeated the incarnation of Kali in his form as the wicked Duryodhana.

I place my head in the dust of the lotus feet of Shri Madhvacharya who through his indisputable logic and intelligence defeated the lewd and deceptive false canons of Mayavada by establishing that the jiva living entity is an eternal living part and parcel of Shri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and is therefore eternally His servant.

I bow repeatedly before Shri Madhva who great dissertations sent the fearful followers of Shankaracharya scattering in all directions.

I prostrate before Shri Madhva who, through his mystic control over the winds of the Arabian Sea, brought a ship safely to land and found in a giant chunk of tilak in the ship’s hold the very same Divine Murti of Shri Krishna Who was worshipped by Queen Rukmini at Dwaraka.

I humbly offer dandavats before Shri Madhvacharya whose teaching of Dwaita-vada have inspired even Lord Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu—Shri Krishna Himself in the mood of His own devotee—to accept initiation into his sampradaya and to declare Shri Madhva as the leading acharya of the Shri Brahma sampradaya.

Without reservations I take the dust of the feet of Shri Madhva upon my head. By the touch of his lotus feet Udupi has become a divya tirtha equal to the spiritual world of Lord Narayana, and all residents there are Vaikuntha-vasis.

REVIEW BY PEJAWAR SWAMI

“This tale will reveal the love of God which is dormant within everyone’s heart. The reader is given a chance to change his life in the same way as the author.”

An Open Letter to H.H. Shri Shri Pejawar Swamiji Vishvesha Tirtha Maharaja

Your Holiness,

Please accept my dandavats at your lotus feet. I am writing to you about a review that ostensibly bears your name in a book entitled The Journey Home by one Radhanatha Swami, a GBC member of ISKCON. For a thousand years, your Shri Madhva sampradaya has stood as a fortress and bastion against the wicked infiltration of impersonalism. This Mayavada—supposed “oneness with God” is a false and concocted “philosophy” that is adored by atheistic and demonic entities who are envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Shri Krishna.

The book The Journey Home bears your endorsement and calls it a “tale that will reveal the love of God.” However, we do not feel that you have actually read this book or how could you have written this. Rather than teach love of God, many of the so-called yogis glorified throughout The Journey Home teach that the patently false doctrine that the living entity can become God. We are sure that once you actually look through The Journey Home even briefly, you will unhesitatingly withdraw any endorsement or review that bears your name. As Your Holiness is well aware, we Vaishnavas are enjoined to never mix up with impersonalists, nirvisheshis, shunyavadis or other atheistic followers of Buddha and Shankaracharya even if they pose themselves as devotees or yogis.

There is no worse concept on earth than Mayavada because it utterly destroys bhakti and the devotee’s relationship with Shri Krishna. Lord Krishna is declared over and again throughout the Bhagavad-gita and Shrimad-Bhagavatam as none other than the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The devotee’s life is entirely wrapped around his service to Shri Krishna as much as a flowering vine wraps itself around a strong tree. This lovely sentiment which is the sum and substance of the devotee’s existence, nay—his every breath—is utterly destroyed by association with Mayavadis. And that includes association with their false and misleading literature.

The Journey Home is filled front and back with shallow reviews written by Mayavadi so-called “yogis.” And the book itself glorifies many such fraudulent personalities who sold the privilege of “becoming God” for a price. Several of the imitation “swamis” who are spoken highly of in The Journey Home were even exposed as sexual predators and rapists of their female followers. These are not mere allegations but are shown by dozens of complaints from female disciples against these Mayavadi wolves in sheep’s clothing.

We have written a lengthy series of articles published on the popular Vaishnava website Sampradaya Sun (http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/index.htm). In this presently ongoing series we have exposed many of these fraud yogis with evidence in the form of testimonials from victims. Our series has provided ample documentation that these are not mere allegations. This article with this Open Letter to Your Holiness is being submitted as Part Thirty of the series.

It is important to note that many of the imitation yogis and swamis who have besmirched the sacredness of the saffron cloth of the true sadhu renunciates (and who are glorified in The Journey Home) taught that the living entity can “become God.” Many of them even sold the privilege of “becoming God” for a price tag to unsuspecting Westerners. A few of our expositions of such sexual deviant “Yoga Mayavadis” as they appear in the Sampradaya Sun (with links to evidence) are listed as follows:

1. Part One: The Journey Home is The Worst Form of Guru Aparadha—Swami Muktananda
2. Part Twenty-two, The Journey Home: Destruction by Design—From Krishna-loka to Yogaville—Swami Satchidananda
3. Part Twenty-six—The Journey Home: Sinners in Saffron: Perverts on the Path
4. Part Twenty-seven—The Journey Home and Another Sexy Swami: Yogi Radhanatha Meets Swami Rama

These articles provide the necessary links to the research by qualified journalists on the topic of women who were raped and sexually molested by these predators dressed as swamis. 

It is essential for us devotees of Krishna to remain always on guard against the lewd and deceptive invasion of Mayavada. In the Vaishnava world no group is more steadfast or vigilant in this regard than the holy and worshipful followers of Shri Madhva of which you are a recognized and exalted acharya. It is a grave misfortune for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness that our Governing Body Commission (GBC)—in the absence of the physical presence of a qualified acharya (or even anyone on the GBC with a modicum of common sense for that matter) is allowing The Journey Home to proliferate all over the world. Now The Journey Home has gone into over a dozen languages which include your review.

Needless to say, the Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would never have approved of The Journey Home or any such book with Mayavadi reviews and glorifications. Not only that, but as a genuine Vaishnava acharya, Shrila Prabhupada would very likely have disbanded the entire GBC out of disgust for their lack of Vaishnava understanding in promoting this misleading literature. 

Furthermore, it is our concern that, with your endorsement in this book, newer and innocent members of your community may read The Journey Home and become polluted into atheistic Mayavada. Our request once more is that you consider retracting your review from The Journey Home for the sake of protecting your community and your own status as a stalwart Vaishnava acharya. Your Holiness can mail your retraction for printing in the Sampradaya Sun via sun@harekrsna.com.

Once again, I offer you my sincere dandavats and thank you very much for your time and for you concern in reading this letter. Please forgive any offense in my letter.

Begging to remain always at your lotus feet,

Kaliya Damana dasa Brahmachari
