Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Dear Bhakta Deepak, PAMHO. AGTSP! So you agree that when Srila Prabhupada said "we", he meant "I". Now, He said "Then WE observe at least for one year" which actually means (as you have confirmed) "Then I observe at least for one year". How can he do that when he is no longer here? > By removing Srila Prabhupada as the diksa guru, you are > therefore CHANGING “the initiation system described in the books”. I never wrote that I want to remove Srila Prabhupada as a diksa guru. But I do not accept that he is the only diksa guru, that is not confirmed in the books (except with the help of circular conclusions). > Sorry Prabhuji, I don’t follow your logic here. What else does “sole > initiator” mean if it doesn’t mean initiated by one person only?? You say: (1) Srila Prabhupada was the sole initiator, therefore when he said "he is initiated", he obviously meant "he is initiated by me". (2) Since Srila Prabhupada meant "he is initiated by me", it means that Srila Prabhupada is the sole initiator. You confirm (1) by (2) and (2) by (1). Please take Srila Prabhupada's instructions as the are. When he said "he is initiated", then it means "he is initiated", nothing else. > Srila Prabhupada states that future directors of his properties in India > must be “MY initiated disciple”. That does not mean that there will be only Srila Prabhupada's disciples. A few Prabhupada disciples will be sufficient. ys Ramakanta dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
