I get all that and have tried to respect that for the last four years.
But as I retire, vultures are perched, eyeing the vibrant
preaching of what Avadhut Maharaja has given his life-blood to
for the last 20 years. I feel I would be derelict in my duty if I did
not warn, what Srila Gurudeva termed the simple-hearted
Vaishnavas.
But where to start? It is an endless pit of drivel. On the
Wikipedia page for the expression Doesnt Get It. There is a
picture of Giri Maharaja grinning with the legend, In the
history of not getting it, no one has not got it more or less than
Giri Maharaja.
But I guess this is as good a start as any. Knowing him to be the
utlimate company man, a mindless, robotic follower, like the
Nazis who were just following orders, in 1981 his GBC
overlords hired him to break the cult of Sudhir and Sridhar.
Yeah, the obsession with Sudhir goes waaaaay back (witness the
old pictures he saves; the voodoo dolls). Only problem is he gets
converted. A huge embarassment to his GBC masters. He was
such a lightweight it didnt even require Sudhir Goswami to
personally break him. He was turned by the evil Sudhirs agents.
How doesnt he get it? Let me count the ways. Although we have
separated from ISKCON and begun preaching exclusively about
Srila Guru Maharaja, he takes sannyas but plans to stay in
ISKCON. Oy. Why? Because he knows without the backing of an
organization he is nowhere. What is the address of Nowhere?
Nutley, New Jersey; Giri Maharajas so-called Math.
Dont you find it odd that after four years of maligning the
Acharya of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math and its Acharya Board
he begs and pleads, with a never-ending whine for the seat he so
covets?
You guys are a group of evil, elitist bastards! Can I join you and
become a member? If you dont give me what I want, Ill make
up shit on the internet that devotees are too lazy, jaded, or
distracted to verify, and you will all be sorry. So let me in.
Cmon guys! Ill never get any disciples unless I am an
institutional guru. He may be a little crazy but he is not stupid.
When all is said and done, again, he knows without the backing
of an organization, no one in his right mind would seek his
connection.

Does anyone in his right mind, who hasnt drunk the kool-aid,
think that, say, Giri Maharaja and Bhaktivinode are of equal
status? Srila Guru Maharaja is making a simple point. In the
general sense whether for big guru or a little guru, disciples will
chant, o ajna etc. Do I really have to explain this to an
Acharya, 30 years after the publication of Sri Guru and His
Grace?
Ill go you one better. Big Gurus have things called astakams,
and dasakams written about them: Radhastakam;
Lalitastakam; Bhaktivinoda Viraha Dasakam; Prabhupada
Padma Stavaka (praammi sad prabhupda-padam) etc.
Another particularly egregious example (and there are many,
too many to waste my time on). Knowing the devotees will not
vet what he says, he alleges with anticipated impunity, that I
sold the rights to Srila Guru Maharajas books. The US
Copyright Office begs to differ. Does anyone ever attempt to
verify his allegations? A simple Google-search will reveal that
what he is saying is untrue. And that is otherwise known as
lying.
I know its hard to compete with Moe, Larry and Curly when it
comes to sheer entertainment value. But ask Moe or his
surrogate Stooges: Interesting point, do you have any
documentation proving what you say is true? Please do not
answer with conjecture. Do you have any corroborating
documents or not? Do not be distracted by their slapstick. And
dont be surprised if they have nothing but excuses for having
nothing. Or when they say something like, Goswami Maharaja
is so clever he fooled the US Copyright Office. I am not so
clever.
Giri Maharaja is not Chanting on a Full Mala
It has been said that the fanatic is always concealing a secret
doubt. And Giri has many such doubts. They are increasing
daily as he mishears Srila Guru Maharaja.
