So, it`s my conclusion that`s hearsay to you. All I`m just saying as what I`ve read on SCS Math`s official website is that Srila Govinda Maharaj has been referred to as Srila Prabhupad`s dearmost son (are there any in ISKCON?) Since, Srila Sridhar Maharaj has appointed Srila Govinda Maharaj as SCS Math`s President after the former departed in 1986, common sense tells me that for Lord Caitanya`s sankirtan movement to succeed without impediment, the best choice is Srila Govinda Maharaj. That ISKCON and SCS Math band together as one with Srila Govinda Maharaj taking the lead. But if this doesn`t work maybe you should learn from the Catholic Church how she elects a new Pope.

Christianity is so much alive in the Philippines especially here in Cebu, the place where Christianity in Asia began. It`s all because of the Child God, the Santo Nino of Cebu. (www.sinulog.ph)

Just one look at Srila Govinda Maharaj tells me he is the one. He may not have accomplished what Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Maharaj(ISKCON) and Srila Sridhar Maharaj(SCS Math) did but it`s enough for me to say that it`s not heresay.( http://www.scsmath.com) The Nabadwip Scooter Ride.

Oh my gosh! There`s another one. Oh well, same feathers, indeed, flock together.

There are lots of white sandy beaches in the Philippines, Hindustani. We could go to Boracay Island in Antique, the El Nido in Palawan, Daan Bantayan Island in Cebu, the White Island in Camiguin, Panglao Beach Club in Bohol, etc.

You are under the mode of passion, Sonic Yogi. Your tune is angry. The melody is hard rock. This song reminds me of Led Zeppelin`s Stairway to Heaven. May I request that you play George Benson`s The Greatest Love of All, please.

Things are not really what they seemed. My first impression when I clashed with you, Hindustani, was that you were a bully. That has now changed. I hope someday you, me, and the rest do some bonding of sorts over a white sandy beach underneath coconut trees drinking ice-cold coconut water, eat broiled bananas, buttered corn, etc. While others are swimming in the clear blue water on the beach, we sing songs to refresh our memories of the way we were with a videoki. Deal or No Deal?

Yes I agree with you, Sonic Yogi, on some of these points. Let the Christbusters bust their butts on discrediting Jesus Christ not you. It`s not your calling to do such things. It has taken a lot of your energies in defending these Christbusters instead of channeling them on matters that would eventually benefit Lord Caitanya`s sankirtan movement. What your doing is not serving Krsna but a disservice. I`m telling you this at this point as a friend not an adversary.

Yes, Burzum. You are correct. Only a few, however, do that. While the rest have set their minds on how make more money than loving and serving Krsna.

Okay. You`re entitled to your own opinion. I respect that. Like you I did that, too, a long time ago when I told everyone that Jesus was an ET( from the book " Chariot of the Gods" written by Charles Von Daniken ). But later I felt sorry for myself for making that immature statement. Someday, you will come to realize this also.

Even Lord Caitanya admitted that Sankaracarya who taught Mayavadism was an incarnation of Lord Siva, and it is known that Lord Siva is one of the greatest devotees ( a mahajana) of the Bhagavata school. But did Lord Caitanya reject Sankaracarya? In the Padma Purana Lord Siva personally tells Bhagavatidevi: " My dear Devi, sometimes I teach Mayavadi philosophy for those who are engrossed in the mode of ignorance. But if a person in the mode of goodness happens to hear this Mayavadi philosophy, he falls down, for when teaching Mayavadi philosophy, I say that the living entity and the Supreme Lord are one and the same." I see this familiar refrain in the Teachings of Jesus. But did I reject Christ Jesus? Nope. It`s simply because I saw Lord Siva in Jesus.

A Vaishnava doesn`t deride a good one like Christ. What kind of Vaishnava are you, Sonic Yogi. You are creating an abyss between Christians and Vaishnavas for telling us that Christ is a non-entity. Christ in the person of Jesus is a representative of Krsna. And nobody gets to God but through Jesus who is Christ`s ( Krsna) saktyavesa avatar.

Sripad Narayana Maharaj is not the chosen one but His Divine Grace Srila Govinda Maharaj. Krsna Bhaktas need someone alive to lead them by example. The bonafied and authorized guide whom the Krsna Bhaktas should follow is Srila Govinda Maharaj, the dearmost son of Srila Prabhupada. One( Srila Govinda Maharaj) has the confidence while the other (Sripad Narayan Maharaj) has none.

Srila Sridhar Maharaj left a testament or will who should be his successor when he departs unlike Om Visnupad AC Bhaktivedanta Maharaj who didn`t leave any. ISKCON after Srila Prabhupad left on 1977 became a boat without a steering wheel. Her senior members should have foreseen that. When it was time to install another one in the person of Srila Sridhar Maharaj, ISKCON didn`t make a wise move. ISKCON and SCS Math should be in the same boat as one with Srila Govinda Maharaj( when Srila Sridhar Maharaj departed on 1986) by now as steering wheel(bonafied). Otherwise, it will get stuck forever in the mud of the crooked river.

Krsna Bhaktas have failed to see the signs on the wall.

Yes, Kali_Upasaka.We missed the ride in Going Home Back to Godhead. There`s no more love in the world but hate. See Trisilex`s thread" Peace and Love."

Yes, Trisilex. We have to retrace back our steps from 1969 up to the present and investigate what really happened along the way.There was so much love and peace then. Now, there`s so much hate.Srila Prabhupada`s plan to inundate the world with love of God (Krsna consciousness) have failed. We are supposed to be in the Golden Age of Enlightenment right now but instead we have digressed back to the Age of Darkness. There`s no sense in blaming this to Kaliyuga anymore.

PRIOR to his departure from the world in 1977, Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj instructed his followers to take spiritual consultation and guidance from Srila Sridhar Maharaj So, there you are. Srila Sridhar Maharaj is Srila Prabhupada`s successor. And in turn Srila Sridhar Maharaj appointed Srila Govinda Maharaj as his successor after the former departed in 1986, or 9 years after Srila Prabhupada departed in 1977. http://www.scsmath.com
