Hare Krishna Gurdeva
Please accept my obeisances
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
I feel fortunate to be your disciple and thus be able to be in contact with Prabhupada, the Acaryas and Sri Sri Radha Krishna.
I have some questions:
- how should I write my name?
Piyari Mohan das?
Or
Pyari Mohan das?
HpS - As far as I know... AgtSP... "Piyari Mohan das"
- What is the feeling of separation and how does it manifest itself in the life of the devotee?
HpS - Seems that we want to feel well integrated with Srila Prabhupada and his ISKCON.
- Can Radha and Krishna be visualized as father and mother?
HpS - Yes, Radha is the beloved Mother of all the cowherd boys.
- As I understand it, one of the characteristics of uttama adhikari is that he is scholarly and knows how to debate philosophically, but on the other hand there are learned people who you can debate but they are not uttama adhikaris. How to make a difference?
HpS - Because their logic is very superficial. Maybe based on Euclid's Principles. Do no know BalaRama, Jesus, Nitya ananda as the real logos.
- Is there any relationship between the platform of devotee (kanishta, madhyama and uttama) with the ladder of bhakti? For example, it could be that to move to anharta nivriti the devotee has to move to the platform of madhyama adhykari, etc.
HpS - As we know:
Kanistha = Adau sraddha and Sadhu sanga.
Madhyama = Bhajana kriya to Asakti.
Uttama = Bhava and Prema.
Thank you very much Gurudeva
Your servant
P(i)yari Mohan das
HpS - Thank you! Hop you are reading the other posts. They are for you also!
Hope your relations with ISKCON institution is clearing and any offenses to devotees are resolving so that you can be on friendly terms with all of them.
