By Patita Pavana das Adhikary The year was 1933. In Orissa, Professor N.K. Sannyal had just published the first volume of his milestone work on the life of Shri Mahaprabhu under the divine order of his spiritual master, Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati. To that date, it would be the most voluminous and scholarly presentation ever scribed in English regarding the life and times of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. And with another volume to go, the good professor was only half-way through the project. The title page proudly announced: All Glory to Guru and Gauranga Shree Krishna Chaitanya Nisikanta Sanyal, M.A., Bhaktishastri Senior Professor of History Ravenshaw College, Cuttack With A Foreword By PARAMHAMSA PARIBRAJAKACHARYA (108) SREE Unfortunately, within a few years of its publication our Grand Spiritual Master left this world for the Divine Realm of Shri Krishna. His life work, the all-India Gaudiya Math, soon disintegrated beneath a tidal wave of party politics. Neither did Prof. Sanyal ever finish his scholarly presentation; vol. 2 would not see the light of day. He quickly became a “party man”, as Shrila Prabhupada once commented. Then, suddenly, Prof. Sanyal was summoned from this world by the Lord’s will. Although Prof. Sanyal had pleased his spiritual master with the first volume of his literary achievement, he had turned from the order of the spiritual master after the nitya-lila pravista of his Gutu Maharaja. Rather than unifying the Gaudiya Math under a strong Governing Body, the ugly visage of party spirit had bifurcated the network of sixty-four ashrams into several warring factions. Shrila Prabhupada mentioned the example of Prof. Sanyal so that we might learn a lesson about the destructive nature of separatist strategies. If factions can divide learned scholars, then why should we consider ourselves exempt? Shrila Prabhupada called managing a religious society as “the world’s most difficult task.” Yet, today ISKCON’s continued growth speaks volumes about the practical benefit of a strong Governing Body, as foreseen and ordered by the Founder Acharya. Now as in the future, the legacy of the Hare Krishna Movement will continue only if the disciples and grand-disciples of the Founder-Acharya co-operate in the unalloyed spirit of following those instructions. Shrila Saraswati Thakur’s order that the life of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu be broadcast extensively in English would eventually be carried out by the leading disciple of Gaudiya Math, Shrila Prabhupada. When Shri Chaitanya Charitamrita was published in sixteen volumes by the BBT, it became the first ever comprehensive study of the life of the Golden Avatar presented for the benefit of the Western world. With that brief glimpse into the history lesson underlying Prof. Sanyal’s book, we now return to the subject of this article. There in the Foreword to his disciple’s book, the Param Gurudeva and Grandfather of the Hare Krishna Movement collected a series of observations from the Tenth Canto of Shrimad Bhagavatam that he labeled “Krishna Is”.
