TUESDAY JUNE 14th – Disappearance of Baladeva Vidyabusana
\nBaladeva Vidyabhusana, The Gaudiya Vedantist.
\n\u201cThe Gaudiyas should not worship Radha and Krsna together,\u201d the Ramanandis told him.\u201cRadha and Krsna are not married. There is no precedent for Their being worshiped together! Sita and Rama are together, and Laksmi and Narayana, because they are married. But Radha and Krsna are not married.\u201d
\nNow the Ramanandis were escalating the quarrel. They not only criticised the Gaudiyas\u2019 lineage but also found fault with the Gaudiya method of worship.
\nThe Ramanandis demanded that Radha be removed from the main altar and be placed in another room, to be worshiped separately.
\nJai Singh sent word to the mahantas (religious authorities) of the Gaudiya temples. \u201cYou must prepare a response to the criticisms voiced by the Ramanandis of Galta Valley. I am sympathetic to your philosophy and practice, but your response must be adequate to silence the Ramanandi panditas, or I shall be forced to separate Radharani from Krsna.\u201d
\nThe mahantas of the four major Gaudiya temples of Amber submitted their response in writing.
\nThey explained that Rupa, Sanatana, and Jiva Gosvamis shared the same opinion about Radha and Krsna:
\nThey could be worshiped either as married (svakiya rasa) or unmarried (parakiya rasa), since both these pastimes (lila) are eternal.
\nWorship of Krsna in either lila is adequate to establish a devotee\u2019s eternal relationship with the Supreme.
\nThe Ramanandis rejected these arguments. Fighting for their religious and political power, they again approached Jai Singh.
\nBecause Radha and Krsna were not married, the Ramanandis complained, worshiping Them together condoned Their questionable relationship.
\nThe Ramanandis also criticised the Gaudiyas for worshiping Krsna without first worshiping Narayana.
\nTo appease the Ramanandis, Jai Singh told them he would ask the Gaudiyas to place the Deity of Radharani in a separate room.
\nHe would also ask them to explain their breach of Vaisnava etiquette in neglecting Narayana worship, and he would ask them to prove their link with the Madhva sampradaya.
