Dear Krishna Priya Mataji, PAMHO. AGTSP!

Srila Prabhupada said one must approach the current link. You say that Srila

Prabhupada is the current link. Now my question is: How did you approach

Srila Prabhupada or how will you approach and meet him?

 

Another question:

You also wrote that your first guru was Bhagavan Prabhu. So you have been

initiated by a ritvik acarya appointed by Srila Prabhupada. Why do you think

that you are not yet linked to Srila Prabhupada? Do you think that he has

not accepted you as his disciple (or grand-disciple)?

Is it your judgement that Harikesa Prabhu is not liberated but fallen down

(not just slipped)? If yes, are you in a position to judge it? Or did you

hear this judgement from someone else? From whom?

 

> Srila Prabhupada NEVER ORDERED ANYONE TO BECOME GURU!

 

Are you sure? You can only say that it has not been not recorded that he

said "Such-and-such Swami, I order you to become guru after I have left".

 

Srila Prabhupada said "So I have deputed some of you to initiate".

(Whenever he said "deputed", he meant "ordered").
