Avatara does not mean a big beard or big hair. We do not like to see such

ugly avatara. We kick on their face, this avatara. This is not avatara.

Avatara must be mentioned in the sastra. Caitanya Mahaprabhu, when He was

talking with Sanatana Gosvami, so Caitanya Mahaprabhu described about

avatara. So just to make a little joke, because they are personal

devotees... So he knew that Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the avatara. Still, he

inquired from Caitanya Mahaprabhu, "How we shall know one avatara?" So

Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, "Why? It is all mentioned in the sastra." So

avatara should be understood from the sastra, not by jugglery or magic. This

is rascal. As soon as one wants to establish his avatarship by jugglery and

magic, kick him out, immediately on the face, directly. Kick him. Let the

avatara take steps. I don't mind. If he's avatara, let him kill me, all

right. But I shall kick him on his face.

Some devotees think when prabupad spoke like this it was funny.

 

"...I don't mind. If he's avatara, let him kill me, all

right. But I shall kick him on his face..."

 

I think it's fanatical, intolerant and hostile.

Hare Krsna Maharaj,

The responses to your quote show who has actually read and listened to SP. His voice and intonations are recorded for all posterity to hear. The fact that there are people commenting on his words without listening or reading them is sad :crying2:. Hearing is the most important thing an aspiring devotee can do. SP himself said if his disciples have any fault it is that they do not read his books enough. I am afraid that problem is getting worse. Please keep up the posts. They are wonderful.

 

As for the sense of the post, SP is saying that avatars are described in the sastras. He is daring those who claim to be god to come forward and confront him, kill him if they think they can. He will destroy their false ego with the words of the Srimad Bhagavatm, the CC, and BG and show that they are just miscreants. That is what he means by "kick on face with boot". SP would never assault anyone. He would worry when he thought that bug on his wall was not getting enough to eat.
