I noted a few days ago and again today that Rav Natan, the disciple of Rav Nahman, faced a great deal of opposition. But not from Litvaks. See the "Sefer ha'Telaot". It was not at all people that were following the path of the Gra that were against him or against Rav Nahman.
Which does bring the question to my mind what are the major great points of Rav Nahman that the Sitra Achra [Dark Side] was trying so hard to hide.
Well clearly the Tikun Klali [the Ten Psalms] and Hitbodadut [talking with God as one would talk with a good friend] would have to stand foremost. But I also think the "Seder haLimud" [learning in the way of just saying the words and going on] . Which presents a way of going through the entire oral and written law plus the natural sciences at least once during one's lifetime. And as Rav Nahman says in Sefer Ha'Midot what one does not understand or remember in this world. he will be reminded and made to understand in the world to come.
[Natural sciences I see as important but philosophy is more doubtful to me. It seems there is a lack of clarity about what is really valuable there.]
