Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Dear Krishna Priya Mataji, PAMHO. AGTSP! > Did you need to have a DIKSA GURU TO GIVE YOU THESE INSTRUCTIONS? Yes. The instruction to chant Hare Krishna comes from the diksa guru. That is harinama initiation. > It is a concoction that the DIKSA GURU need not be liberated. How can a > drowning man save another drowning man? On May 28, 1977 Srila Prabhupada said: "When I order, 'You become guru,' he becomes regular guru". He did not say "When you are liberated, then you become guru". Please let Srila Prabhupada judge whether someone is liberated or not. > If one is advanced, but not liberated, he can simply offer assistance.

But > that is the qualification and authorization for SIKSA GURU, not DIKSA > GURU? It was my decision to accept Harikesa Swami as my diksa guru. He did not present himself as an 'authorized (and thus automatically liberated) acharya in the disciplic succession'. > This challenge is rubbish. ... It seems you never met Harikesa Swami. Is the authorization given by Srila Prabhupada void? Was Srila Prabhupada's preaching a failure and did not produce a single liberated soul? Or did it? ys Ramakanta dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
