Guru-krpa Maharaja was thinking of purchasing some
land here in Vrndavana for building a sannyasi asrama.
I asked His Divine Grace about this plan. He replied,
"sannyasi asrama is not a good idea. This is
sahajiya's idea-eating and sitting. There are
different types of sahajiyas, but they are all
rejected. Our men should actively preach, just like
Hamsaduta Maharaja is doing. We don't want to
encourage idle sitting, solitary bhajana. The
sahajiyas, they manufacture so many stories about how
the best pious activity is to feed the saintly persons
in Vrndavana. And they are the only saintly persons.
They eat and sit and gossip. --- is also sahajiya;
therefore, he mentions Ramakrishna. --- [another
Vrindaban resident] is sahajiya number one. Simply mix
with him to take some service from him. At the same
time, be very careful that he may not exploit. In
Vrndavana, ninety percent are sahajiya. And sahajiyas
are rejected by Bhaktivinoda."
