Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 The GBC did not make themselve the Absolute Authority. Srila Prabhupada gave them the position. He gave them the responsibility to be the executors of his will. Like it or not Srila Prabhupada made them the authority. They did not make themselves the authority. Krishnapriya's false claim is pure rubbish. She wants to stop them from executing the service given to them by Srila Prabhpuada. Who does she think she is? The following is a quote from the purport to CC, Adi Lila 7.83 A sincere student aurally receives the holy name from the spiritual master, and after being initiated he follows the regulative principles given by the spiritual master. When the holy name is properly served in this way, automatically the spiritual nature of the holy name spreads; in other words, the devotee becomes qualified in offenselessly chanting the holy name. When one is completely fit to chant the holy name in this way, he is eligible to make disciples all over the world, and he actually becomes jagad-guru. Then the entire world, under his influence, begins to chant the holy names of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra.

Hare Krishna Joey, I do not mind you asking me question or not agreeing with me or whatever. I do mind the socalled close disciples of Srila Prahbupada not understanding our spiritual master though.... <<<<<I have one more question and then I will bow out of this conversation. Suppose you are right, and Ritvik was Srila Prabhupada's desire. What does it matter? He also left the GBC in charge.>>>>> The GBC was meant to carry out the instructions of Srila Prabhupada. Since they have made themselves into 'absolute authority' of ISKCON, there seems to be indeed very little that can be done to stop them......
