Ramakanta das say's

 

Quote:

Srila Prabhupada's instruction is independent of what happened afterwards or

what his disciples did afterwards. The argument "Srila Prabhupada introduced

the permanent ritvik system because some years later some of his disciples

left ISKCON" is silly.

 

 

Is it only "silly" because Ramakanta das and Sankarsana das can produce NO

evidence to show otherwise?

 

If the original Order given by Srila Prabhupada to the first eleven was to

initiate on Srila Prabhupada's behalf as RITVIK REPRESENTATIVES and there is

NO evidence ANYWHERE to show that this Order was to FINISH.

 

Then that makes Sankarsan das prabhu's position even more contemptuos!

 

Srila Prabhupada has ordained and implemented a system for initiations in

His mission using deputed priests of the acarya, who offer formal initiation

on behalf of Srila PRabhupada. This system has been in place and funtioning

in the Krishna consciousness movement since 1970, or slightly prior.Srila

Prabhupada never suggested it should be discontinued for any reason. To the

contrary, via numerous spoken and written directives , Srila Prabhupada has

clearly delineated His intention to continue initiating disciples in the

Krishna consciousness movement by this system perpetually. Srila

Prabhupada's sincere followers accept this system without speculation,

following the infallible authority of sadhu-sastra-guru.sps.
