Krishna will fulfill Prabhupada's desire that his disciples will

[Guest guest]

My Dear Isvara Prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.

 

You have spoken very nicely. We should not think

that Srila Prabhupada was not powerful enough to make

at least one pure devotee to carry on the disciplic

succession. Surely a powerful Vaisnava Acharya of

his caliber could make at least one pure devotee.

 

History will prove that in spite of some major disasters,

which sent devastating ripples through the ISKCON world,

that many of his disciples were in fact very pure

souls who powerfully acted as acharyas for expanding

Prabhupada's movement more and more. In Australia

Srila Prabhupada told us that just as he had done

ten times more than his Guru Maharaja he wanted each

of us to do ten times more than him. Krishna always

fulfills the desires of his pure devotees. Srila

Prabhupada wanted us to be powerful acharyas. By

his desire it will happen.

 

Hoping this meets you in good health,

Always your humble servant,

Sankarshan Das Adhikari

The whole idea that Srila Prabhupada is the last in the disciplic line is

quite close-minded, and it is indicative of non understanding of the Vedic

teachings or the teachings of the Vaisnava acaryas. Having bad experiences

of fallen gurus does not negate the fact that the disciplic succession has

to continue no matter what the situation. Otherwise the whole process of

Krishna consciousness become devoid of life.

 

As one great Vaisnava acarya, Srila Gour Govinda Maharaja, pointed out that

there is always a pure devotee on the planet, otherwise there is no reason

for Krishna to maintain this nasty material universe. The universe is

maintained solely because of the presence of the pure devotees. We may not

have have eyes to see them, but they are present, and I am sure in the line

of Srila Prabhupada. Such pure devotees are capable of continuing the

disciplic succession. I don't think Srila Prabhupada would be very proud to

be the last link in the line of the spiritual masters, because there would

be no pure devotee after him. We need to be more introspective.

 

Hare Krishna.
