We Have Many Affectionate Guardians (01/23/03)You Are On the Outside Looking In (04/17/03)Your Guru Will Not Be Happy That You Wrote to Me. (04/17/03)
Dear N____ dd,
Śrī Śrī Guru Gaurāṅga jayataḥ.
I have read your email below and I thank you.
Unfortunately, whenever I have gotten involved with devotees from Iskcon and particularly the disciples of Iskcon gurus the result has always been the same – grief and unnecessary disturbance.
Śripāda S____ Swami does not have a very good opinion of me or of my Guardians (gurus) and therefore he would not at all be happy to know that you had written me, or that I was in any way attempting to instruct you in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
I appreciate that you may possibly want to be more deeply connected to our Gauḍīya Sārasvata paramparā, but my help to you will have to be through articles and such that appear on our website, and not through personal contact. This is my decision based on years of bad experiences with iskcon.
I wish you all the best and pray that Kṛṣṇa and Prabhupāda will show you Their blessings.
Śrī Hari-jana-kiṅkara,
Swami BG Narasiṅgha
