One Founder-Acharya and Many ISKCON Acharyas

[Guest guest]

Srila Prabhupada called himself the "Founder-Acharya" of ISKCON,

not the Acharya of the ISKCON because he wanted that there should

be many Acharyas within ISKCON. He directly ordered us to become acharyas

within ISKCON. We humbly request Krishna Priya Mataji to stop presenting

all of her concocted gibberish. It's time to put this ritvik nonsense

to rest once and for all.

Srila Prabhupad is the Jagat Guru, the rest are just

pretending......

 

<<<<<<<Any of Srila Prabhupada's diciples can initiate new diciples, the

succession is there. On the other hand, if Srila Prabhupada wants to be an

initiating spiritual master from off of the planet, that is also possible if

he has said so. Krsna is in everyone's heart, so a connection from beyond

the grave is not impossible. I am sure there will be people that can not

accept any living person as perfect guru, but these people may be willing to

still follow Srila Prabhupada's instructions via his books or Krsna in their

heart. For them, there is Ritvik. On the other hand, the tradition demands a

living guru and all of the stories in the Bhagavatam are in that vein and it

is here that the more traditional, official future will lie and it is here

that ISKCON authority will remain. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.......

 

 

Dear bhakta Joey,

 

In principle any disciple of Srila Prabhupada CAN initiated their own

disciples, but not within ISKCON, as they are doing now. Srila Prabhupada is

THE ACHARYA OF ISKCON, he institutionalised Himself as the Acharya and

instructed his disciples to carry on with spreading his Movement, continuing

to be ritvik and accepting disciples on HIS behalf.

Since none of the present gurus in ISKCON want to do that, they should go

out of ISKCON and start their own branches. ISKCON is to be Srila

Prabhupada's forever and in spite of them misdirecting the movement, I am

sure things will be set right one day.

Srila Prabhupada is A LIVING ACHARYA. He was not some ghost or God. He came

to this earth in the form of human being and he did establish the Ritvik

system of INITIATION for ISKCON. A truth which is hard to dawn on many a

soul, but which cannot be denied, simply because it would suit the majority

of ISKCON members better.

 

I hope this explains my point of view somewhat and I invite reactions of

other Ritviks or attrack from the ISKCON Guru Parampara camp.

 

yours in Srila Prabhupada's service,

Krishnapriya devi dasi

You surely know the answer that Srila Prabhupada gave to a similar question.
