Misconceptions about Raga lead only to Vaikuntha?

Most of them will be reborn, hopefully into a future Gaudiya environment in this world where such ideas have been retired through the preaching efforts of good souls like yourselves.

They may go to Dvaraka in Goloka because of their preoccupation with Krsna. But "bhava grahi janardana" does not speak only of bhava in the highest sense. So it seems possible that one can want something and go about it the wrong way at first only to end up being rewarded with knowledge of how to do it right over time. What is more powerful, wanting the right thing or going about it the wrong way? Mahaprabhu put it this way: “An uneducated person may chant visnaya, while a sober person will chant the proper form, visnave, but Krsna will accept both forms when they are chanted with devotion."

Prabhupada said chant 16 rounds and follow four regulative principles and I will take you back to Godhead... but he didn't say by which route.
Thank you for helping to make clear, what was almost clear.. as Gaura Keshava said so well in his first post... the total relevance of the question of the origin of the jiva.. I liked to follow the arguments, but it never came into such clarity, the importance of the question of a fall from Vaikuntha.. About a year ago at Balaram's appearance day celebrations, the devotees here read pastimes of Baladeva that happened outside of Vrindavan... I kept passively waiting for some Vrindavan nectar, which never came... well i might have requested some Vrindavan pastimes, but since such a request would be very unusual, it was overlooked. However afterwards I got a bit more militant about the primacy of the Vrindavan lila according the Kaviraja Goswami in CC. I was surprised, very surprised to find that this was a novel idea to the devotees i spoke with.. A more prevalent idea was that we only need to execute devotional service to any form of the Godhead, and by our submission to His Will, leaving our rebellious attitudes aside, that resulted in our expulsion from paradise, we can once again join Krishna in his many wonderful pastimes in the spiritual world. Our original position is already there.
Well if, say, someone does not have a real attraction to any Deity, or has one to a Vaikuntha form or Avatar, then fair enough, just continue on. But if someone opens the Bhagavatam to any place and considers all to be best, then that is a misunderstanding that's been unfortunately propagated. The focus of the lineage is overwhelmingly Vrindavan consciousness, with many lessons to take from other parts of the Bhagavatam. But simultaneously to learning lessons is following our bliss, letting our natural attraction take us there, to that side, or to the center. They had me from my first glimpse of a picture of Krishna, and it did not take long to arrive at Vrindavan pastimes as home. When i joined up, the art work of the late seventies, created to decorate Prabhupada's tenth canto translations, was blossoming onto the cover of the BTG's, which i would distribute freely on the streets. It was inconceivable to me, how anyone could not be attracted to this form of God. So Raga starts easily, but is guided and nurtured by vaidhi, like a young tree needing support. Time comes though, and it is later, though samadhi may still be a few more turns in the road, that we can venture a little further off the porch, and see what the other kids are doin. Realizing and acknowledging our ishtadeva seems a step we can take early on in the process of Raga bhakti. And also associating with like minded, affectionate and advanced Vaisnavas is very much recommended.
The question of whether our spiritual body is inherent, or bestowed is an issue that will also arise. The Gaudiya Matha, or at least some sections, believe that it is inherent, and when the guru bestows ekadasa bhava, he is simply describing what the spirit body of his shishya is like. That question may or may not be important, i don't know for sure.
