Of course according to that definition Srila Prabhupada is the guru of everyone in ISKCON. > How can a liberated person fall down? Because he has free will. BTW.

Please check yourself in the Vedabase what Srila Prabhupada meant when he said or wrote "deputed". Just some examples: Interviewer: You're the leader of how many disciples or devotees throughout the world? Prabhupada: Personally, I have got not less than ten thousand. But I was deputed by my Guru Maharaja to make propaganda in the Western countries. (Press Conference - April 27, 1976) Personally I am humble servant of Krishna as you are also, but I am deputed to accept your service just to transfer it to Krishna as via media. (Letter to: Dayananda - Allston, Mass - 1 May, 1969) The sentiments that you have expressed in your letter are all due to my Guru Maharaja who has deputed me to pick up all good souls like you in this part of the world.
