Excerpt from Bhagavad Gita As It Is defeating ritvikism

[Guest guest]

Dear Deepak Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP!

 

> So then you DO claim Srila Prabhupada authorised his disciples to accept

> authorises his disciples to act as diksa gurus within ISKCON?

 

Here is the quote again:

 

The six agents of sense gratification are the tongue, the genitals, the

belly, anger, the mind and words. Anyone who has practiced controlling these

six is permitted to make disciples all over the world. (Srila Prabhupada,

NOD, chapter 7)

 

> Which "system" are you talking about, please show me the quote?

 

I meant the system that is shown at the end of the introduction to the

Bhagavad-gita.

 

> Obviously Srila Prabhupada was authorised by his diksa guru, that is how

> he became diksa guru.

 

When and how?

 

> So now please explain where Srila Prabhupada authorised his disciples to

> succeed him as current diksa guru links to the disciplic succession.

 

Let us hypothetically assume that he did not authorize his disciples to

succeed him as current diksa guru links to the disciplic succession.

Was he authorized to do so and in this way stop the system that is described

at the end of the introduction to the Bhagavad-gita for example?
