Absurd Ritivk Philosophy

[Guest guest]

My Dear Prabhupadanugas,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

It's actually laughable how absurd this

rivik philosophy is. Recently a ritivk

sympathizer was giving Srimad Bhagavatam

class in a major ISKCON temple. In the

purport Srila Prabhupada was saying that

we should only hear from a pure devotee.

So this devotee told us that we should

only hear from Srila Prabhuapda and no one

else.

 

But wait a minute! Why should we hear from

him? If he really believes that we should

only hear from Srila Prabhupada then why is

he speaking?

 

I was in Los Angeles when Srila Prabhupada

had one of his disciples give the class while

Srila Prabhupada sat and heard the class. So

it is obvious that in the context of Srila

Prabhupada's instruction that we should only

hear from a pure devotee, that someone who is

strictly following Srila Prabhupada and repeating

his instructions without adulteration (as the

ritviks do) can be acceptd as a pure devotee.

 

Hoping this meets you well,

Your eternal servant in the dust of your feet,
