    These are the ways the Lord forgives even vaishnava aparadh,

    The Three Ways To Remove Vaishnava Aparadha 
    from
    Vaishnava Aparadha

    BY TRIDANDI SWAMI BHAKTIRATNA SADHU MAHARAJ

    THE ONLY THREE WAYS TO REMOVE VAISHNAVA-APARADHA

    (1) TO GENUINELY BEG FORGIVENESS FROM THE VAISHNAVA OFFENDED:

    ye vaisnava-sthane aparadha haya yara
    puna se ksamile a paradha ghuce tara

    If one offends a Vaisnava, the only way to get free from the offense is to go back that Vaisnava and beg his forgiveness. (Cb. Madhya 22.32)

    kanta phute yei mukhe, sei mukhe yaya
    paye kanta phutile ki kandhe bahiraya

    Just as it takes a thorn to remove a thorn, the offense committed by the mouth [against a Vaisnava] must be cured with the mouth [by begging forgiveness]. (CB Antya 4.380)

    (2) BY CHANTING THE NAME OF LORD NITYANANDA CONSTANTLY:

    nityananda-prasade se ninda yaya ksaya
    nityananda-prasade se visnu-bhakti haya

    Only by the causeless mercy of of the name, form and pastimes of Lord Nityananda, one’s offenses against Vaishnavas are destroyed and one attains devotional service of Lord Krishna.(136)

    (3) BY READING THE ORIGINAL BENGALI VERSES OF CHAITANYA-BHAGAVATA, MADHYA-KHANDA CHP 22 DAILY OR REGULARLY:

    e bada adbhuta katha suna savadhane
    vaishnava aparadha ghuce ihara sravane

    Listen carefully to this wonderful pastime of how Shri Shachimata got delivered from her offense against Shrila Advaita Acharya in this Chp 22. By hearing or reading this narration one will be become from the Vaishnava aparadha committed. (12)

    Commentary:

    Such a benediction is not given in any other scripture. Even Lord Gauranga or the most powerful guru cannot save
    the disciples and devotees who criticize other Vaishnavas.

    But reading Chp 22 of Madhya-khanda Chaitanya-Bhagavata can. So it is to be accepted that Shrila Chaitanya-Bhagavata is the most magnamious and merciful scripture in the whole creation which saves us from the most horrible and unforgivable of all sins in creation.

    Another reason is that since Shri Chaitanya-Bhagavata is full of the glories of Lord Nityananda on every page, it speedens up this process of destruction of our offenses as per the second point above.

    This is the scripture to read if one wants to develop love for Lord Nityananda, the only Lord capable of delivering fallen and degraded souls like us.

    And the final reason why all the acharyas have stressed Chaitanya-Bhagavata as the most beneficial for all conditioned souls is because this great scripture repeatedly warns and cautions us against the great dangers of Vaishnava-aparadha in each and every chapter of the book.

  • Even if person chants hundreds of lives that wont save from offences, because Lord is not independent, being completely under control of His devotees. The only one medicine is to beg for forgiveness in the humble state of mind.

    True vaishnava should not be offensive to anyone.
