Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Dear Bhakta Deepak, PAMHO. AGTSP! I have following comments to your answer to Jayadvaita Swami: Initiation (diksa) is transcendental and knowledge about initiation is transcendental knowledge (divya-jnanam). You cannot understand initiation with the material mind. You cannot understand what initiation is by reading books and applying mundane logic. To understand it you need transcendental knowledge. The proof is that no-one of you could yet answer my question if for the initiation any action is required by the guru. Jayadvata Swami is an initiated disciple of Srila Prabhupada and as such he received transcendental knowledge (divya-jnan hrde prokasito, divya-jnanam ksapayati iti diksa). So if Jayadvaita Swami explains how the July 9th letter (which is about nothing else than transcendental things) is to be understood, then if you are serious you just have to accept it (tad viddhi pranipatena ...). Of course you could say that Jayadvaita Swami is not a bona-fide disciple of Srila Prabhupada and he did not receive transcendental knowledge, but you by applying mundane logic (like doctor frog) know exactly what Srila Prabhupada intented. But that would be very foolish. You would just concoct some idea what initiation is. In fact, as I have seen, you have a completely different understanding of initiation than Srila Prabhupadas disciples. The question is now: which one is correct? ys Ramakanta dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
