Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I would like to ask Sankarshan prabhu to please stay on the topic rather than resorting to ad-hominem attacks against individual devotees. This is not very mature. For those who have forgotten, here is the point we were discussing: What is the official GBC position on Initiations in ISKCON? The following systems have been mentioned: ********************** Is it: 1) That ANY sannyasi can become a Diksa Guru merely by virtue of being a Sannyasi, which Samba prabhu appears to be agreeing with now. 2) Or is it that anyone who simply thinks that they 'know the science of Krishna consciousness' can automatically become a Diksa Guru, as put forward by Sankarsana prabhu. 3) Or maybe it is the system where, the disciple in the PRESENCE of his own Diksa Guru becomes a Diksa Guru, which is the system which Jayadvaita Maharaja believes in. 4) Or maybe it is the system whereby only those who get the necessary number of votes from the GBC become Diksa Gurus. ********************** ****************************************************** "My Dear Vaisnavas, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. It's obvious that this boy Sudama missed out. He was not sitting there at Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet in Mayapur in 1975 when he instructed us, his disciples, to become initiating gurus after his departure. He probably wasn't even born yet. And we are supposed to listen to him? What a joke! These "johnny-come-latelies" who were not here when Srila Prabhupada was with us think that they can rewrite the philosophy to suit their own purpose."
