<< 6 Keep your distance >>
<< 6 Mantén la distancia >>
 | This history, in most, devotees in Russia don't know. Prabhupāda was afraid that his Godbrothers would take advantage of his success. Therefore from the very beginning he told us, "Don't be disrespectful to my Godbrothers. Don't make offenses by being disrespectful. But keep your distance." We have a saying in English, "Good fences make good neighbors." We should not be disrespectful, especially to senior members of the Gauḍīya Maṭh, but we should not associate with them intimately, which means to live with them, to hear from them, to take their instructions. We're not supposed to associate intimately.
| | Esta historia, en su mayoría, es desconocida para los devotos en Rusia. Prabhupāda temía que sus hermanos espirituales se aprovecharan de su éxito. Por eso, desde el principio nos dijo: «No sean irrespetuosos con mis hermanos espirituales. No los ofendan siendo irrespetuosos. Pero mantengan la distancia». Tenemos un dicho en español: «Las buenas cercas hacen buenos vecinos». No debemos ser irrespetuosos, especialmente con los miembros mayores del Maṭh Gauḍīya, pero no debemos relacionarnos íntimamente con ellos, lo que significa vivir con ellos, escucharlos, seguir sus instrucciones. No se supone que debamos relacionarnos íntimamente.
| | | Someone may doubt that Prabhupāda actually said that. But I'll tell you a little story wherein I know Prabhupāda said that. One time, during Māyāpura festival, the sannyāsīs took us out on a parikramā. We went through different places of Lord Caitanya's pastimes, and on the way back the leading sannyāsī, Acyutānanda, and other leading sannyāsī, they took us to the Gauḍīya Maṭh temple of Śrīdhāra Swami. Śrīdhāra Swami was there, and he and different devotees at the Gauḍīya Maṭh received us nicely. And then he spoke to all of us. And in his talk he very subtly criticized Śrīla Prabhupāda. That, "He went to the Western countries, but any of us," he speaking about Gauḍīya Maṭh, "they could have also gone to the Western countries and have done so. You should respect all members of Gauḍīya Maṭh, not just Śrīla Prabhupāda."
| | Alguien podría dudar de que Prabhupāda dijera eso. Pero les contaré una pequeña historia donde sé que Prabhupāda dijo eso. Una vez, durante el festival de Māyāpura, los sannyāsīs nos llevaron a un parikramā. Recorrimos diferentes lugares de los pasatiempos del Señor Caitanya, y de regreso, el sannyāsī principal, Acyutānanda y otros sannyāsīs importantes nos llevaron al templo del Maṭh Gauḍīya de Śrīdhāra Swami. Śrīdhāra Swami estaba allí, él y diferentes devotos del Maṭh Gauḍīya nos recibieron amablemente. Luego nos habló a todos. En su charla, criticó muy sutilmente a Śrīla Prabhupāda. Que, "Él fue a los países occidentales, pero cualquiera de nosotros", hablando del Maṭh Gauḍīya, "podría haber ido también a los países occidentales y haberlo hecho. Debes respetar a todos los miembros del Maṭh Gauḍīya, no solo a Śrīla Prabhupāda".
| | | Śrīdhāra Mahārāja is one of the most important sannyāsīs in Gauḍīya Maṭh. He now passed away, but he's a very important member of Gauḍīya Maṭh. And I have no doubt he went back to Godhead. But there was a little jealousy there. So, when we came back to our temple, Māyāpura temple, Māyāpura Candrodāya Maṇḍira, Prabhupāda heard that we went there, and he was furious. He was so angry that we visited the Gauḍīya Maṭh temple. And he called the devotees who were on the parikramā into his room. And he chastised the sannyāsīs in front of them. "I have told you many times, you must respect my Godbrothers but you're not to associate intimately with them." So anyone who says to me, "Where's this statement coming that Prabhupāda said we should not associate with Gauḍīya Maṭh?", I reply that it was part of the darśana that Prabhupāda gave.
| | Śrīdhāra Mahārāja es uno de los sannyāsīs más importantes del Maṭh Gauḍīya. Ya falleció, pero es un miembro muy importante del Maṭh Gauḍīya. No dudo de que regresó a Dios. Sin embargo, tenía un poco de envidia. Así que, cuando regresamos a nuestro templo, el templo de Māyāpura, Māyāpura Candrodāya Maṇḍira, Prabhupāda se enteró de nuestra visita y se puso furioso. Estaba tan enojado de que visitamos el templo del Maṭh Gauḍīya. Llamó a los devotos que estaban en el parikramā a su habitación y reprendió a los sannyāsīs delante de ellos: «Les he dicho muchas veces que deben respetar a mis hermanos espirituales, pero no deben relacionarse íntimamente con ellos». Así que cualquiera que me diga: "¿De dónde viene esta afirmación de que Prabhupāda dijo que no deberíamos asociarnos con el Maṭh Gauḍīya?", respondo que era parte de este darśana que dio Prabhupāda.
