Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Dear Krishna Priya Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP! > Sorry for interfering here, but it is simply inconceivable for me, that > the simple fact that Srila Prabhupada was referring to "officiating > acaryas" also called "ritvik", which he consequently appointed. It is simply inconceivable for me that you put "officiating" in Srila Prabhupada's mouth although he did not say this word in the April 22 conversation. > Even if Srila Prabhupada may have contemplated to appoint 'acharyas' and > those are 'acaryas in own right', not disciplined by a GBC > body..........what is important is that in the end - he choose to appoint > "officiating acharyas". Srila Prabhupada did not only contemplate but he announced that he will authorize acaryas. If you say that he did not authorize any diksa guru, then you are saying that he made an incorrect announcement. Sorry, I cannot accept that. > As I understand, Srila Prabhupada did not terminate this Ritvik system, > but rather clarified it further and send out a directive to te whole > movement, that ( in his physical absence especially - as SdG had asked ) > should be followed henceforward..........giving no instruction whatsoever > that it should stop at any time in the future. It has already been proven that Srila Prabhupada did not introduce a permanent ritvik system with him as the only diksa guru. So your understanding is incorrect. That is understandable because you tried to directly understand a letter that was not meant to be read and understood by you directly. ys Ramakanta dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
