  In chapters 13 ,14, and 15 our guru puja yatra in Goloka Nabadwip will take a brief rest so that we can hear about three Gaura parshads who lead Thakur Bhaktivinoda's guru parampara: they are Ramai Thakur, Jahnava Thakurani, and Vamsivadan Thakur. This chapter will present a study of Ramai Thakur's life that his nephew-disciple Rajaballabha Goswami tells in Muralī-vilāsa. As Ramai is nitya-siddha, it is not surprising that Rajaballabha became kṛpā-siddha by his sanga and blessings
  
  Muralī-vilāsa's Story
  
  To learn about Ramai, we will first need to know something about Vamsivadan, since Ramai is Vamsi's second avatar. Hence Muralī-vilāsa begins with this mangalacharan:
  

  
  jagad-ākarṣiṇī śaktir nitya-prema-svarūpiṇī
  tvaṁ vamśīvadanānanda vande tvāhaṁ jagad-guro |
  śrī-caitanya-priyatamas tadīya-prema-vigrahaṁ
  vande tac-caraṇāmbhoja-makaranda-pipāsayā ||

  The Vamshi is Krishna's nitya-prema-svarūpiṇī, and her divine shakti produces a melodious vibration that enchants the whole universe. She has now appeared as Vamshivadan, the jagad-guru, and Gauranga's deares

  [PADA: There seems to be a problem in Adelaide Australia temple where a young woman reported being sexually abused and the leaders discouraged her from pressing charges with the police, among many other problems. This is an ongoing legal process and we will report on it as things develop. 

  There seems to be a lot of sympathy for sexual abusers overall, and this has been a pattern for decades. Anyway, it also seems that many or most of the current leaders of ISKCON have never understood even the most basic ideas of the Vedas, ... that in order to attain Krishna we have to worship His pure devotee. The post 1977 ISKCON GBC has turned that idea on its head, and they say we need to worship their illicit sex acharyas program
