Default Who Are These Rascal Mayavadis? - 10-22-2007, 03:16 AM
"There was a lot of discussion over doughnuts in the coffee shop round the corner from 22nd Avenue after the classes," says article by Balavidya das, "So we resolved to sort the problem out. One day in Prabhupada's rooms, across the courtyard and upstairs at the back of 22nd Avenue, we asked Prabhupada, 'Just who are these rascal mayavadis and impersonalists? And why is it so important? Why so much stress on them?' We weren't ready for the answer…

The drama of the moment was high, and knowing his audience was hooked, he looked me deep in the eye as he straightened his arms, placing both hands on his knees. It was an impressive posture. Then, he opened his eyes wide, raised his eyebrows, rolled his head a little backwards, and looked at me down the length of his nose, while taking a deep breath. Something big was coming.
  • "'You are the mayavadis!' Prabhupada roared at us, 'You are the impersonalists! You want to become God! You want to enjoy! You don't want to surrender! You want to be the big controller!'"
