Gurus

[Guest guest]

Dear Krishna Priya Mataji, PAMHO. AGTSP!

 

> DEFINITELY then the once proclaimed SELFREALISED, AS GOOD AS GOD GURUS,

> WHO HAD BEEN APPOINTED BY SRILA PRABHUPADA PERSONALLY AS THE NEXT

> ACHARYAS OF ISKCON, A POSITION MONOPOLISED FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS ********

> Hamsadutta, Jayatirtha, Bhagavan, Ramesvar, Bhavananda, Kirtananda,

> Harikesh, Satsvarupa *****************EXERCISED THEIR FREE WILL TO BECOME

> FALLEN AGAIN!!!!!

 

What has this to do with Srila Prabhupada's instructions?

 

Srila Prabhupada's order is independent of gurus falling down, and

independent of GBC resolutions or whatever may happen in ISKCON.

 

It is as if you were saying "since the four Kumaras did not marry, Brahma

did not order them to beget children".

 

> Of course, you and those like you cannot be blamed, because you are

> Being Guru was no more than some kind of FASHION for them. When they got

Some see only the good qualities in other persons and some see the bad

qualities. Harikesa Swami e.g. distributed 3 million books in a country with

only 6 million inhabitants (just imagine). So there is no doubt that he will

go back to Krishna and all his faithful disciples will go with him, even if

hid did not receive an explicit order to become guru and even if he married.

Krishna is not bound to any rules that you might have in your mind.

 

> (Dictionary meaning of Deputies)

> 1. A person appointed or empowered to act for another.

> 2. An assistant exercising full authority in the absence of his or her

> superior and equal authority in emergencies: a deputy to the sheriff.

 

Don't look in dictionaries, look in the Vedabase. And look up "deputed", not

"deputies". When you do that, you will find out that whenever Srila

Prabhupada said or wrote "deputed", he meant "ordered" or "ordered with

giving power" or "ordered and authorized".

 

Srila Prabhupada's use of the word "deputed" is consistent with the 1st and

3rd dictionary meaning of "depute":

1. give an assignment to (a person) to a post, or assign a task to

(a person)

2. appoint as a substitute

3. transfer power to someone
