Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All my respect to all the Vaisnava devotees.
I know H.H. Ramakrishnananda Swami Goswami for years and my advice to you all, with all due respect, is to be careful not to commit any offences to a Vaisnava devotee, His Holiness tried for years and years to preach in the most difficult places. For example, “Karmic feminist movements”, inside the ultra-orthodox Jewish community in Israel and the Middle East, Hassidic movements like “Habad” (for this he wrote 3 books in Hebrew using his Karmi name, Har Tzion), he managed to meet in various occasions important Rabbis and even the supreme Rabbi of Israel, the Rabbi Mordejai Eliahu. Some years ago he tried to enter and preach in Iran with his Chilean passport, though eventually this was not possible. He also accomplished a number of secret programs of preaching inside the impersonalists movements, such as Sivananda, Transcendental Meditation, Osho Community in Pune, Krishnamurti’s organization, and Siddha Yoga (for that purpose he wrote 3 books in Hebrew, among them The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and others), he tried to preach within the Ritvik themselves. With the purpose of rendering the service that his Spiritual Master (His Holiness Tamal Krishna Goswami) had entrusted to him, and due to his profound knowledge in Judaism, Mayavadic and western philosophy, His Holiness was willing to sacrifice his time and the recognition of other devotees for many years.
I deeply respect your opinions, never the less I would advise you to keep yourself from making offences to this great soul. Many of us who know him were orthodox religious Jews, disciples of Osho or fanatical feminists, and we reached the point where we invest out energy in trying to be devotees of Lord Krishna, due and because of his work and service for years.
Because of his program, he presented, for a period of time, some of his female disciples as Sannyasis, and he managed to bring into Krishna Consciousness a great quantity of “feminists”, that in no other way would have accepted Srila Prabhupada.
I don’t want to exaggerate if I say that the day will come when this devotee work will come to light, and we better not come to that moment and have to repent for our opinions about him.
Therefore, only now, since he was obligated to leave Israel and the Middle East, due to persecutions from the religious orthodox organizations, and he settled in New York, he can present himself in his original form. As His Holiness Ramakrishnananda Maharaja Goswami, a loyal servant and disciple of His Holiness Srila Tamal Krishna Goswami, and a well wisher of ISKCON and all the Vaisnava devotees.
A Vaisnava should be judged for his results, and it is a fact that just in his center in Great Neck, New York, there are 25 full time devotees from Jewish origins, who dedicate themselves to chant 16 rounds every day and follow very strictly the path of Krishna Consciousness. Please, let’s be more careful when we relate to devotees who render very confidential services to Krishna. In this very moment, there are devotees of the Lord who are preaching in Iran, Jordan and even Iraq, which are risking their lives, and I think it is not just to criticize them because they changed their name to names like Ajmed, Mansur or Rhudi, and preach in a way that from a simple look seems like Islam, and they present themselves as high Moslem leaders.
If you still want to know more about this devotee, you can talk to H.H. Romapada Swami or His Grace Ravindra Svarupa.
Your servant
