“The Truth About Mahanidhi Swami” April, 2018


Hare Krishna! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Dear devotees,
Please accept my obeisances.
My name is Damodar das (Vrindavana), the first disciple of Mahanidhi Swami. Recently, I discovered my name and “my statements” are falsely quoted as witness testimony to defame Mahanidhi Swami on at least two famous Google sites.

Falsely quoting me and some phantom “ANONYMOUS MAHARAJA”, these posts have been defaming and blatantly slandering Mahanidhi Swami for five long years! (2013-2018).

Now IT’S TIME TO HEAR THE TRUTH! Since I have personally known and associated with Mahanidhi Swami for at least 20 years, I have some qualification to speak the truth about these events.

The following list of false and slanderous lies posted in 2013 are still running today on a few Internet Google sites. I will list the outright lies and slanderous statements and then STATE THE TRUTH.

1. Google Post: “The following was received from a Swami who would like to remain ANONYMOUS:” [then the posts goes on to list 11 slanderous lies against mahanidhi swami.
Damodara Dasa: Who is that phantom swami, anon? And how can anyone accept or believe a post full of slanderous lies against Mahanidhi Swami, based on words of an anonymous maharaja?

2. Google Post: “Aindra (Dasa ISKCON) used to come and meet Mahanidhi every day at Radha kunda.”
Damodara Dasa: A total LIE. Everyone knows Aindra Prabhu hardly ever left Krishna Balarama Mandir. At most, in 24 years Aindra Prabhu met Maharaja once or twice during Radha-kunda appearance.

3. Google Post: “A Maharaja [means swami or sannyasi], who wishes to remain ANONYMOUS, was the one who built Mahanidhi swami's ashram in Radha kunda in 2001.”
Damodara Dasa: Another LIE. Mahanidhi Swami alone built the ashram in 2004 not 2001. There was no one else, not even the “anon maharaja”. To verify this truth, you can ask all the Brahmins, Police and every single resident in Radha Kunda.

5. Google Post: “In 2003, the ANONYMOUS Swami saw him [mswami] make the grossest of offences when he kicked the SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM ON HIS VERANDA.”
Damodara Dasa: Total bogus. Mahanidhi Swami has been daily worshiping, and speaking and writing about the Srimad Bhagavatam for 42 years. Bhagavatam is his life and soul. Just look at all his I-net SB posts and audios.

6. Google Post: [Anon Maharaja said: [2003 or so] “Mahanidhi also gave him so-called SIDDHA PRANALI initiation AND he told him to do SMARANAM and YOGA PITHA UPASANA.
Damodara Dasa: This is absolute nonsense. Mahanidhi Swami himself did not have siddha pranali. And to date. He has not given siddha pranali to anyone!!

7 Google Post: “On his Vyasa puja this year (2012)… three days later, he (mswami) was gone. The Anon Maharaja was told that his disciples pleaded with him not to leave Radha Kunda and sort his problems out. They asked him to leave the association of the old lady (75 years old?).
Damodara Dasa: I was there personally and no such thing was said nor did he leave with anyone and go anywhere. FACT IS Mahanidhi Swami has NOT LEFT RADHA KUNDA SINCE 2010. Witnesses: everyone in Radha Kunda!

8. Google Post: “(ANON) Maharaja spoke with DAMODARA DASA (mahanidhi swami's first disciple) and he confirmed the news of maharaja's affair with a lady from Delhi.”
Damodara Dasa: I have never spoken these statements to any maharaj, or anybody including the gbc. It’s absolute rubbish!

9. Google Post: “Maharaja (mswami) was caught with her red handed 2 months back.
Damodara Dasa: Again, a total lie and more slander. Such an event never never happened. It’s totally false.

10. Google Post: “Very few know that mahanidhi swami had approached Srila Prabhupada for sannyasa. And Srila Prabhupada rejected him saying you are not qualified for sannyasa.”
Damodara Dasa: Another complete lie and slander. This is just too much falsity. Mahanidhi Swami never, never even met or even talked to Srila Prabhupada. You can ask him yourself. The TRUTH IS that eight years after Prabhupada’s Samadhi (1977), Maharaja took sannyasa from Satsvarupa das Goswami in 1985, Mayapur.

11. Google Post: “THIS MATAJI WAS MARRIED TO A GUY AND MAHARAJA GOT HER DIVORCED FROM HIM IN 2006.”
Damodara Dasa: I know “this mataji” and her husband for 20 years. She is still married and no such event happened. Again another LIE put in bold print too for more emphasis by google site.

Conclusion: Just see how two popular Google I-net sites and others too are propagating 11 DIFFERENT LIES to continually defame and slander the name and character of Mahanidhi Swami. It’s really too bad that nowadays the Internet is considered as the absolute truth. Anybody can write about anyone, stating anything that they like. That’s why we always see that if any person is doing any good in this world, then there will be hate sites, entire coms dedicated to blasphemy.

Now that everyone has read the TRUTH, I hope devotees will feel more sympathetic and understanding toward Mahanidhi Swami.

    I met Maharaj only thrice ,but I feel so lucky and fortunate to meet such an pure and exalted devotee. Once while talking to Bhakti Dhir Damodar Maharaj I revealed that ,I desired His holiness Mahanidhi Maharaj to accept me as his disciple....to that "Bhakti Dhir Damodar Maharaj added that ,he met Mahanidhi Maharaj and saw that he chants pure name of Radha Shyam"(before 2012/2013).

    Mahanidhi Maharaj is serving lord day and night ,doing Nirjala ekadashis, writing books,giving lectures, serving cows ,getting up at 4:00 in morning,full of enthusiasm and excited to serve lord,never gets tired,busy in kirtan ,takes no interest in material talks infact he used to ask his students to filter their material thoughts before they come to him ,as
    One should always inquire about lord when one meets his/ her spiritual master.His books are a great treasure for us full of emotions of lord ....it's just full of divine nectar,how one can advance in devotion al life .

    Maharaj had come to Sri Sri Radha Rasbihari ji,Juhu , Mumbai in 2012/2013 for a month ...but he left next day itself after his arrival.I heard he felt offended but inspite of verbally fighting he left the place next day . Such a great devotee with such beautiful qualities cannot do anything wrong.

  3. He never ran for name and fame that is why he is in Radhakunda, so meek and humble , ready to give respects without expecting respect in return, have no interest other than lords interest ,bhala na khaibe bhala na paribe, strictly followed 6 rules laid by Caitanya Mahaprabhu for devotional service .

    I request all the devotees to ask themselves are these qualities possible to be seen in one who has done anything wrong . But still he was framed and he was left behind with no stand . Even after all these things he is still doing devotional service ,didn't marry ,still giving lectures,posts on Facebook ....isn't this enough proof for innocence. Please stand for him , Raise your voice for him ...we all have done a vaishnav apradha by hearing wrong about a pure devotee and it's time to rectify our mistakes.
