Pamho. AGTSP.

 

The letter Sankarsan prabhu referred to when writing the above was

accidentally send to Initiations. But, since he took this as an opportunity

to support his personal views, I have to say that his arguments have already

been defeated by Krishnakant prabhu, the author of The Final Order, on page

81 of named book.

 

I like to point out that those who choose either option 1 or 2 above, in

fact are choosing the Ritvik saystem, for that is the system of Initiations

Srila Prabhupada put in place towards the end of his physical presence in

Iskcon, and asked it to be continued without putting any time limitation on

this order!

 

All other views are not based on any written final directive, such as the

July 9th, 1977 letter. Evidence to overrule the July 9th letter order have

to be still found.

 

***In logic, later statements supersede earlier ones in importance.

your servant,

 

Krishna Priya dasi

 

 

PS

 

For the time being this will be my last posting on Initiations, as I do not

want to divert the attention from the vital question asked by Krishnakant

prabhu, but on which unfortunately to date no response has followed...

 

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STATE AND DEFEND THE OFFICIAL GBC STAND ON INITIATIONS IN

ISKCON...

I vote for Srila Prabhupada, if that means that Initiations by his

disciples within and outwith of ISKCON are bona fide.
