Guest guest Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 My Dear Krishna Priya Mataji, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. Thank you very much for being my sincere well-wisher, but I beg to point out that Srila Prabhupada never established a permanent Ritvik system. He told us in Mayapur that it is better for us to become initiating gurus. Hoping this meets you in good health, Always your humble servant, Sankarshan Das Adhikari ==================================================== Contact Information: Ph: 1-512-835-2121 Mail: ISKCON, 10700 Jonwood Way, Austin, Texas 78753 USA Krishna Priya (dasi) (Amsterdam - NL) [Krishna.Priya (AT) pamho (DOT) net] Saturday, January 01, 2005 2:09 PM Sankarsana (das) ACBSP (Austin, Texas - USA) RE: What is the truth? <<<The truth is that Lord Caitanya ordered us to become Guru and Srila Prabhupada ordered us to follow Lord Caitanya.>>>> Dear Sankarsan Prabhu, PAMHO AGTSP Why can you not simply accept that the (deliberate?) mistake has been made in Iskcon back in 1977: The Ritvik system put in place by Srila Prabhupada was never meant to be stopped. Yet, it was stopped and the appointed Ritviks "assumed" to be the "rightful successors of the Acharya", whilst they were never authorised to be so. Lord Caitanya certainly instructed everyone to become guru on his order and preach Krishna Consicousness. Similarly Srila Prabhupada, institionalised as the Acharya of Iskcon, said that we should follow his instructions, which is non-different from the instruction of Lord Caitanya and continue to preach Krishna consciousness...yare dekhe tahe kaha krsna upadesa......but: Why can't you see that Srila Prabhupada simply encouraged everyone to rise to the platform of acting as his representatives in the capacity of Ritviks? I truly feel sorry for you. your servant, Krishnapriya dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Krishna Priya dasi says to Sankarsana prabhu: " I truly feel sorry for you." Dear Sankarsana prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP. I suggest you have no more correspondence with this woman. It is fruitless. She has no idea that you have dedicated your life to making devotees all over the world. I consider that the supreme sacrifice. She just feels sorry for you. These rtviks have no respect for any of our preachers. They make a business of critizing ISKCON. Even they come to our festivals and hand out their magazines indiscriminately. My hope is that these dissidents will carry on their activities separately and not bother our preaching work. I have seen that those who become their members or sympathizers are simply speaking about how bad ISKCON has become. None of their members are elevated speakers. They do not present the science of bhakti. Otherwise, they would not take the time to oppose us. Srila Prabhupada spent little or no time criticizing the Gaudiya Matha. He made a few statements and that was it. All of his classes and books deal specifically with the science of Krsna Consciousness. Even his original League of Devotee magazine was dedicated to speaking about Lord Krsna, not the falldowns of other Gaudiya Matha members or how the Matha was being misled, what to speak of Srila Prabhupada's Back to Godhead magazine. Never is there a critical word in Back to Godhead about any other Matha or organization. Yet their Back to Prabhupada magazine is 100% criticism of ISKCON! These rascals should just carry out their own festivals because anyone who makes a living out of criticizing and interrupting ISKCON is certainly doomed.
