Parātma-niṣṭhā

Does the śāstra declare that sannyāsa is forbidden in Kali-yuga? According to one ex-sannyāsī, it is! This article explores the misconception that sannyāsa is unauthorised in this age and shows how Mahāprabhu and His followers have understood this prohibition.

Tattvavāda and Gauḍīya Siddhānta

In early 2001, a website run by a group of young men claiming to be followers of Madhvācārya made disparaging remarks about Śrīla A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swami Prabhupāda and called into question the validity of the entire Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava sampradāya. In response to this, Srila B.G. Narasiṅgha Mahārāja requested his disciple, Swami B.V. Giri to write a number of articles countering the claims of these young Madhvas. After posting these articles, Giri Maharaja then travelled to Uḍupī, interviewed the leaders of the aṣṭa-maṭhas (the eight major maṭhas in the Madhva sampradāya) and attained letters from them in praise of Śrīla Prabhupāda and the Gauḍīyas.
