Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 My Dear Vaisnavas, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. For me it's a simple matter. Srila Prabhupada encouraged me that I could become an initiating guru and the ritviks tell me I cannot. Who is my authority? Krishna Kant Desai or Srila Prabhupada? Hoping this meets you in good health, Always your humble servant, Sankarshan Das Adhikari ==================================================== Contact Information: Ph: 1-512-835-2121 Mail: ISKCON, 10700 Jonwood Way, Austin, Texas 78753 USA Krishna Priya [Krishna.Priya (AT) pamho (DOT) net] Wednesday, April 14, 2004 1:19 AM Initiations in ISKCON Stick your head in the sand policy???? Dear Vaishnavas, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I am alarmed to notice how the Ritvik issue is avoided and Iskcon management carries on as if nothing is the matter. The most clever move the GBC, current gurus and their followers can make of course. They cannot defeat the "Srila Prabhupada's Only Diksa Guru in Iskcon through the Ritvik system", thus the subject is just being ignored now.... The cheating Iskcon incrowd is hoping of course that their silence will force their opponents to accept defeat and back off. Or to see the situation as hopeless to change and withdraw.... The fact though that anti-Ritvik and thus anti-Srila Prabhupada ISK-CON has no substantial proof to defeat the arguments of KK Desai's "The Final Order" is proof that they are guilty of misrepresenting Srila Prabhupada. So, it will be interesting to see how long this "Stick your head in the sand" policy will last............Will it go on for centuries of will these supposedly thoughtful men, make any effort to face the Truth???? ys KPdd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGTSP! > Your quotes are general in nature that cannot and do not weigh up against That is your opinion. An authorization in Srila Prabhupada's books is an authorization, even if it is a general one.

Please show me the quote with Srila Prabhupada's specific instruction how he wanted initiations to be continued in ISKCON IN HIS PHYSICAL ABSENCE (explicitely mentioning "in my physical absence"). > I do not understand why Srila Prabhupada cannot remain the Sole Diksa Guru > of Iskcon. I do not understand why a person trained up by Srila Prabhupada and able to control the six urges cannot accept disciples, especially since Rupa Gosvami and Srila Prabhupada wrote that he can accept disciples. > I believe that is what Srila Prabhupada intended....even if at times he > may have had other ideas, his final decision was to continue the Ritvik > system....
